The crying shame is that there are three teams with a great chance to win it. I think Clemson is probably chalk, Ohio State is right behind them, and Bama at 3rd (Bama would be higher but PickSix Jones).

I want all these motherfuckers on the record. Ohio State and CRD better goddamn well be making a list. The better beat Maryland by 100.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I was thinking about Maryland. Taulia Tagovailoa (Tua’s brother) xferred to Maryland because he knew he’d never beat out Bryce and he wanted to start. Feel for the kid."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Fuck UNL beat Maryland by 50 on the road last year and we sucked...tOSU should be a GT-Cumbeland 222-0 type fiasco...Shut the fuck up Donny!Comment

That was a big win for Frost. A few more games like that and his record will be as good as Mike Riley’s was at Nebraska."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Big Ten could have a vote tomorrow about the '20-'21 football season and the rest the fall sports.Comment

If that's the case, don't count on Michigan or MSU changing their vote. Whitmer said yesterday that "We're still in the beginning of the Covid pandemic" here in Michigan. Hence, her reasoning for maintaining her dictatorship over Michigan.Big Ten could have a vote tomorrow about the '20-'21 football season and the rest the fall sports.
MSU is asking all students to quarantine at home for the next 14 days due to an uptick of Covid cases on campus. They have over 300 cases since students came back.
That's all the reasoning Whitmer and Schlissel need to hold firm on their votes.

Here’s an article with some actual information regarding the Big Ten’s process and upcoming vote. If, in fact, they have a revote tomorrow, I like the chances of fall football. They clearly know they screwed the pooch with the first go-around. Sounds like they might actually be getting their shit together.
"It's light-years different than it was five weeks ago," a conference source told ESPN on Friday.”
Reason for optimism?

I’m not betting on this clutch of incompetent motherfuckers to do the right thing. And after an entire month of demonstrated asshattery I feel more than justified in making that assumption.
But, everything I’ve read on OSU sites says October 17. They may actually get to where they should have vaguely been all along — TRYING TO PLAY. If it fails it fails. I can live with that.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Word on the street is that Michigan is voting to play.Comment

The VaTech cancellation is a harbinger of how any BT attempt to play will go down. I went through the numbers yesterday and in my analysis, I demonstrated that the data upon which the decision to cancel that home game in Blacksburg was decided wasn't contextualized. When it's not and officials are making cancellation decisions based on absolute new case #s and positivity rates in isolation they're erring on the no-risk end of the risk spectrum.
A modicum of risk has to be taken to allow in-person classes/students back on campus and play football games. I don't think there is any question that some colleges have sought and will continue to seek a zero risk solution to both. The SEC and B12 seem to be somewhere in the risk spectrum just below the 1/2 way point. The ACC, it seems, is to the left of that and the B10 to the left of the ACC. The P12 is off the spectrum entirely - confounding factors unrelated to COVID are at play for that conference.
If the rumor is true that Schlissel and Whitmer have green lighted football, I would expect both of these two to play a "see, I told you so" role as soon as a COVID cluster can be pointed to being associated with playing games, no matter how wrong the ID of that cluster might be. While October 17th may see BT games being played. That won't last.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off.

Oh, there;'s no doubt the "I told you so" politics will be in full play. Fuck, man, some half-assed, ridiculous;y stupid white paper of a study on Sturgis being a "super spreader" event (COULD be up to 260,000 cases!) is getting press. Meanwhile, of course, the weeks of protests were entirely safe.
Playing CFB is now political. It's why DSL isn't in here pounding the table for OSU to play. Can't go against the tribe.
You're exactly right about in-person classes, too. Universities have accepted the risk and, TBH, the absolute certainty that students will get Covid. That includes M.
To reiterate what every sane, rational person knows -- we're dealing with an extremely low risk group of people.

The problem with Fear Politics is that it''s fundamentally worst case scenario. That means that if someone calls you on your fear-mongering you're most likely to be wrong because, well, the worst case scenario doesn't happen often. It is, by definition, on the far end of the bell curve. So, if someone has the balls to push past your garbage fear-mongering you're probably going to look like an idiot. So, that means you amp up the Fear-mongering to 11 to stop that from ever happening. And then, when someone does call your bullshit, you have to openly root for bad shit.
That's pretty much exactly what we've seen with The Media and Florida/GeorgiaTexas. Of course, as was entirely predictable, the fear-mongerers were proven almost entirely wrong. But that still doesn't stop them from somehow finding numbers or stats that inspire fear and transitioning to some sort of different argument to get in an "I told you so." The Sturgis "study" is textbook.
As it relates to the B10, this is pretty much what they tried to do with myocarditis. They knew mere infection wasn't going to cut it, so they had to go with something else that, to no one's surprise, proves equally unavailing.
I think when you look at the way, say, Ohio, Georgia, Florida, Texas, etc handled it that the policy decisions are far more gearing toward overall reality. That is to say, they balance far more factors other than just saying, "OMG! People COULD die!" and ending all further inquiry.
As a final aside -- "could" is the about the worst word in the English language for a news story. Could makes the statement virtually meaningless. When I was actually litigating cases I never let motherfuckers get away with saying "could" -- there were always follow up questions that either put specific parameters on the statement or ended up with the admission that they can't say one way or the other. The world could end tomorrow.Last edited by iam416; September 13, 2020, 08:10 AM.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
