  2. God you’re a dumbfuck. Maybe if the governor of Florida and the governor of Texas and trump(trying not to CR) did their fucking jobs, we’d have college football this fall. Fucking moron

  6. This reads just like a deep state conspiracy. What has Billy said or done in the past that would make you feel like he has the mental capacity for situational manipulation , sans emotion? He's just not smart or organized enough to pull that off. aggy's razor, friend. The stupidest explanation is probably the right one.

  7. This is a HOT take. Unfortunately what it misses is that those are all pro sports leagues. It's not about the NCAA and University AD's being inept, although there is a fair amount of that to be sure, it's about putting thousands of student-athletes in a risky situation for which they are not being compensated; not having the resources to test them; not having the power to compel them to live in a bubble; and not having the financial resources to deal with years a resulting liability due to COVID-19 complications, etc. And masks are a big deal. If the background reservoir of the virus were not so high, some of the risks mentioned above would be lower, and more tolerable.

  8. I wish I could say I was surprised at how fast the discourse turned to having football is the only thing stopping many of the players from turning to lives of crime, but here we are.

  9. I really don't think you've thought this through. Like at all. So if players get a known infectious disease that kills them, then there should be zero liability for the money makers because you think that they might have gotten it somewhere else, also? And you think that college football should be played this fall despite professing the belief that there will be deaths. You want them to play even though some of them will die. Honest question, what's wrong with you? If the players are not playing then their safety is their responsibility. They are in control of their behavior and their environment. If some of them were to die it would be tragic. But we don't need to upend the entire concept of liability just so you can watch football. If you were actually concerned with their safety and truly believed that the campus bubble would keep them safer, then what you'd be proposing would be for them to stay on campus and in that bubble but not play any games. Games involve additional staff, travel, unknown third party contacts, etc.

  11. Texas and OU are not going to the SEC. If that were to happen, the Big 12 would announce everyone's playing immediately. If Texas and OU leave, they aren't coming back and the Big 12 knows that. Dammit, you people made me go realignment. Fuck you Covid.

  12. There are a few issues at play here: 1) If you described college football without context (university sanctioned gatherings of 100+ people in closed quarters with extensive physical contact where mask wearing/social distancing is near impossible) every single university in the country would cancel it before you even finished your sentence. Allowing it to proceed while other, far less dangerous activities have been cancelled, is an admission that football players are not "normal students." 2) We live in a society of blame. The same people that are pleading to play right now would most likely be the first to try and sue the school/conference/NCAA if they get sick/die from COVID acquired on the football field. Just look at the Marlins fiasco ("Of course the players want to play...how could the MLB not cancel that game after there appeared to be signs of an outbreak?!")... and those were professionals being paid to play. 3) These players are still students. Let's throw out a scenario where a team returns from a game with an outbreak. Now, you are putting an entire campus of students at risk. Even if you get the entire football team to accept responsibility for their actions, do you want to be the school President when a kid who doesn't give a shit about football but shares an English class with the football team and gets sick because of a virus acquired playing a university-sanctioned game? I love this sport with all of my heart and want to watch it in the fall more than anything. But a lot of people are disingenuously trying to oversimplify the issue.

  14. If there is a more greatly deceived group of people regarding their own intellectual ability and clarity of vision than sportswriters, I've never seen it. Watching them debate whether there should be a college season where they have to expand from the usual world they don't well understand to the broader the world that apparently makes no sense to them at all makes football-fucking monkeys look like Rhodes Scholars. Yes, let's let the people who must see themselves as invincible to do what they do on the football field weigh the risk and consequence in broad exposure to Covid. Let's get Joel Klatt to expand on the scientific data he's seen and pronounce Covid of negligilbe risk to those of college age. No scientist knows the long term effects on the body from being infected, but Joel does! Let's have fans cooped up in their houses running out of TV to watch call everyone pussies who doesn't back up those would-be invincibles in their quest to put invincibility to the test! It's all a Marvel Comic anyway. I seen't it on the TV ever'day. America has got this wrong at every step. Sure, let's pump up the balls and put on the cleats based on the innate genius of Joel Klatt and anybody else with access to a broadcast mic. I want college football. It's the only sport I still care about. I shouldn't get to decide based on either my desire or my grasp of Covid. But, of course, I'll defer to Joel and the pretty QB from Clemson. Idiot World Oh, I left out the sports writer and fan inclination to make statements out of guesses. A&M loses five games. The Brockermeyers are coming here. Bob Stoops will win a half dozen national championships. There will never be a college football playoff. Baylor will be punished any minute. Don't sweat the Covid. I seen the scientific data and have heard from authorities. ABSOLUTELY NO POLITICS!!!!! World. See: idiot.

  17. It's important to remember that the cowards in Nebraska ran scared to the Big Ten because big old Texas was getting too much power in its conference. It sucks to see them get railroaded into doing things they don't want by the other schools and revealing how little power they truly have in their new conference.

  21. Can you folks that have a personal dislike for Icono take it to another thread to discuss trannies, tailored jerseys, Cougar High, etc.? It gets really tedious reading these takes in every thread in which he posts. It's starting to remind me of the gaggle of clingers that used to follow Rocko and Derka around posting the same dumb takes about pay stubs, Camaros, obesity, etc.

  25. This is a pipe dream, but imagine if being the cultural outliers in the Big 10 makes Iowa and Nebraska reconsider conference affiliation? They're the only Big 10 schools west of the Mississippi (save for like 3 buildings on Minnesota's campus). Nebraska obviously should be in the Big 12, and Iowa fits completely. If you could convince the SEC to swap WVU for Mizzou you could have this: Big 12 North: Iowa/Iowa State/KU/KSU/Nebraska/Mizzou Big 12 South: OU/OSU/UT/TTU/TCU/Baylor All of a sudden you have returned college football to a place of regional cohesion, with pretty much every major conference being geographically contiguous.

  26. Lmao. This is so fucking stupid. MLB, MLS, NBA all started up. PGA started back. NFL will start up. But it's about masks for college football? Nah. the NCAA and these conferences are just fucking inept and have no idea how to handle any adversity. But yes, blame random people who didn't wear a mask as to why college football might not play.

Nahlin/Wells wrote at the time about what a big deal it was and how it was evidence of Herman's work/desire to upgrade the walk-on program at Texas.
