    By being a different personality that Daddy Brock hasn't already clashed with.

    Daddy Brock: Coach Saban, how are things going when talking to the boys?

    Saban: Tommy is a delight to speak with on a daily basis, a lock for the 1st round to be sure

    Daddy Brock: James tells me he hasn't been able to touch base with you

    Saban: who?

    you're welcome to sit this one out

    In the highlights from LTtxfan, he looks like the kind of QB who could wreak havoc in a Mike Leach type system, with all the quick flips and slants, plus a few deep balls.

    Well you’re on a football board and you are an idiot. Did you know viruses are contagious, especially this one? And every team and coaching staff are high risk. Easy enough for you?

    you are such a dumb fuck that you just disagreed with the poster most likely to vehemently agree with you

    It was Malibu and Big Red to be exact. Was he also the coach that thought Cosmi was a horrible take?

    speaking of former posters

    what was the poster that came on to shaggy breathing fire and brimstone about some perceived slight?  he came at the owners/mods and they promptly changed his username and avatar to something hilariously shameful

    anybody remember this? (name of user and what the mods changed it to?)

    We're going to argue in circles around each other on this. My point is that there are enough inherit dangers in football that we don't need to add another. Yours is that football is a dangerous sport, so what is one more? But you have your head in the sand if you haven't seen the increasing discussion about the future of football, the safety of athletes, and more and more parents being hesitant to allow their kids to play.

    And COVID is more inherently dangerous to a football team than CTE. Coaches won't get CTE from standing on the sidelines. Athletic training personnel won't get CTE from being in the training room. A strength and conditioning coach won't get CTE from being in the weight room. Students on campus won't get CTE from a player sitting in class after a coach covered up his concussion symptoms so he's available to play on Saturday.

    tell that to John Mackovic

    I don't think there's any way forward for the seasons. I think the big xii and acc are at least proceeding with caution. The SEC schools are going full retard. 

    There's a really good chance this all gets called off by the presidents of universities if students come to campus, there's an outbreak and they send everyone home. It's just stupid to think that 18-22 year olds are doing to make the right choice when we know the big spike in Texas at least was from bars opening back up and drunk people just not caring about anything but partying. When I was 18-22  any age I can think of all I wanted to do was fuck bitches and get drunk.

    No they don’t, and no there aren’t. Frivolous lawsuits are like unicorns. On the rare occasions when they occur, they are rapidly dismissed and usually at the cost and expense of the plaintiff.

    There are already 150,000 potential wrongful death cases. Where are all the tens of thousands of lawsuits? Where are all the tens of thousands of lawyer advertisements for these cases?

    Your post reads like that of a tort-reforming insurance industry propagandist.

    do you realize you are talking to the foremost authority on all things aggy?

    But again, whatever protocol they are following are not following, if the infection spike they are responsible for can't directly be contact traced to a football game or practice, then there's no chance of a class action suit against the university/conference/NCAA/coaches/medical staff.

    did any law suits come about when there was the initial spike when players checked in and quarantined?

    A bold prediction!

    But almost every conference outside of the Big 12, ACC, and SEC is looking like they won't play so just by sheer numbers that will probably be true.

    I'm simply suggesting that the players that aren't playing aren't going to be following much of a protocol and the ones who are playing have the best medical care and protocols money can buy

    Ok, but is it cowardice, or financial prudence? I'm not sure that their leadership is 'scared'. I just think they are behaving like executives looking out for the long term interests of their business, which any good executive should be doing. And, as someone very correctly pointed out earlier in the thread, it's one thing if these athletes are geting paid the big money. It's completely different for me to sit in an office all day and 'bravely' risk someobody else's life, and perhaps the lives of their friends and family, when they aren't making a dime, and I'm raking it in directly as a result of their efforts (and risk). Here on this message board we can argue, "that doesn't matter". But in those boardrooms with their legal teams, I'm sure it's been pointed out that that fact would be mentioned in front of a judge quite loudly and publicly in every one of the plethora of class action lawsuits that spring up when a traceable infection spike is linked directly to a football game or practice.

    There will be more covid19 cases in the B10 and PAC12 student athletes while they sit out than will occur in the conferences that are going to play
