hammerva Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Well given that Tom Hanks GOT IT IN MARCH and about 40% of America still thinks it is "just a flu", I think the answer is pretty clear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Quote Multiple SEC schools will have revenue from the conference deducted as a result of not following proper COVID-19 protocols, sources told ESPN. According to a memo sent by SEC commissioner Greg Sankey last week, schools will have their conference revenue distribution cut by $100,000 for each week that they do not follow protocols. The memo, which was obtained by ESPN, also said that suspensions will be considered for failure to comply. Underlined and bolded for emphasis, Sankey wrote, "Do not relax -- and do not let those around you relax -- because of a few weeks of success." But this week has been anything but successful for the conference, as two games -- Vanderbilt vs. Missouri and LSU vs. Florida -- were postponed as a result of coronavirus outbreaks. Also, Alabama coach Nick Saban and athletic director Greg Byrne announced Wednesday that they had tested positive for the virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Nothing says 2020 College football having the head coach and athletic director of the one of the two biggest teams get COVID and not only are we assuming that the Georgia game will happen but people are trying to figure out how Saban will actually coach the game.

EVA Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Reportedly, Saban tested negative on a PCR yesterday. If he tests negative 2 more times between now and gametime, he will be eligible to coach the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 He got his third negative test so chances are we will see Saban entering the stadium like Trump doing his Mussolini tribute a couple weeks ago. Only to an Austin like reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Ole Miss is undergoing quite the market correction this week. They’ve now thrown 6 (SIX!) interceptions to Arkansas after being almost unstoppable against Alabama last week. Arkasnas should be 3-1 after this win, but they got screwed by the officials last week.

Fortunately, the offense is incredible and puts a lot of pressure on opposing teams to keep up. And Georgia could not. Bama is not missing Tua at all, which was inconceivable coming into tha season.

EVA Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I don’t know who else you would put over them at this point. Certainly not any teams that haven’t played a game yet. OK State is #6 in both polls, and they’ve only played 3 games with zero quality wins. It just is what it is until the B1G enters the chat this weekend.

Pete Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Texas Tribune: Quote The Longhorn Band will not play “The Eyes of Texas” at this Saturday’s football game between the University of Texas at Austin and Baylor University after a survey of members revealed several students are unwilling to play the traditional alma mater song, according to The Daily Texan. The survey was sent to band members asking if they would be willing to play “The Eyes of Texas,” a song that has divided the university community in recent months over its ties to minstrel shows where performers wore blackface. The Daily Texan reported that a message sent to band members by leader Scott Hanna said the survey results wouldn’t affect whether the band performs at future games. The band has yet to play at a football game this season, due to safety restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Twitter: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand, I recognize that there are serious issues here related to both historic and present day racism, and I fully respect the players and others for standing up to all of that. On the other hand, watching Texas tearing themselves apart is the highlight of my week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
