2020 football season revamp
The Question:
BLACK, BROWN, OR GRAY SQUIRRELS?
Ace: I have photos for this.
Brian: Focus guys, there's news. Hockey is back.
Seth: What about the months of content we had planned? I was just getting ready to post Round 1 of the Draftageddon of Past Draftageddons.
Next week Heiko drafts a goat.
BiSB: The plural is "Draftsageddon"
The Mathlete: This is the most MGoBlog comment of all time.
Brian: First overall pick is the one where Heiko drafted Kirk Cousins to play OL.
Ace: We’re getting closer…
BiSB: Speaking of sports where sometimes you run out of dudes at a position group...
FOOTBALL BACK.

Ace: Feeling for the Northwestern players who had to quarantine in Lake Michigan.
BiSB: Cant' catch a respiratory virus if you don't respirate. Also can't coordinate any union activity.
Ace: Let’s get ready to compartmentaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiize. The good news is we’ve covered college sports long enough to be well-practiced at this.
BiSB: Do you think Fitz didn't know what the word "quarantine" meant, and was too afraid to ask anyone, so that was his solution?
Brian: Anyone associated with Northwestern football knows what quarantine means because they were quarantined from the endzone last year amirite
Ace: It feels good to get these jokes off again. Context be damned.

We can do this because people support us. You should support them! The show is presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan we’d be furloughed SBNation writers right now. Proceeds from the "Those Who Stay Home" collection are going to support our front line workers at Michigan Medicine. Our associate sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, and FuegoBox

1. Is football back? How?
starts at 1:00
The rumor is the Big Ten could resume play as soon as October 17th because there's a rapid saliva test that they think they'll have available on campus. Idea would be eight games + conference championship game a day before the playoff selection. How would this season look? Who made it happen? Call the Pac 12?
[The rest of the writeup and the player after The Jump]
Various seasons that may or may not happen. Per Penn State's rivals site, sources detail the hypothetical spring season:
- A pre-set eight-game schedule will begin the week after New Year's Day, likely kicking off on Wednesday, Jan. 7 or Thursday, Jan. 8, and progressing through the weekend.
- The goal will be to not have games overlapping with each other, opening up multiple television windows to various broadcast partners.
