According to this tweet, Dan Patrick is wrong.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:05 PM ^
Dan ‘the ?’ Patrick
September 14th, 2020 at 4:05 PM ^
Well there's a shock

***Insert Southern Belle Gasping meme
September 14th, 2020 at 9:06 PM ^
I, too, am getting the vapors.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:25 PM ^
Great minds...
September 14th, 2020 at 5:54 PM ^
Agreed...seemed the most appropriate illustration, given the request.
September 14th, 2020 at 9:07 PM ^
Who knew I harnessed so much power?

National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon I is such a great movie. Really need to watch it again
September 14th, 2020 at 9:05 PM ^
Tim Curry as the Wilderness Girl is so good.

Liquor, food, and gaming? That’s a cool little bar in Kalamazoo.

I would only trust Rebecca Black, not Blank. Especially if she said they were voting on Friday.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:33 PM ^
God dammit.
September 14th, 2020 at 5:14 PM ^
Everybody's working for the weekend, weekend
September 14th, 2020 at 5:49 PM ^
And a friendly FYI, there is a sequel that she did...Saturday. Never got any hype but, now she is setup to do a weekend sweep for a possible Sunday!!
September 14th, 2020 at 4:11 PM ^
I think this is bad news. I don't think they have the votes.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:12 PM ^
It was it is then. We all go down together.
But if OSU and PSU etc played and Michigan didn't? Yikes. Would've been a self-imposed death penalty.
End of the day, it's Go Blue and beat the fuck out of OSU.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:18 PM ^
I totally agree. It is all or nothing. The teams that didn't play would be so disadvantaged going forward. I think that is another reason there is so much pressure on them to play. If the conference doesn't play everyone else will negative recruit them into oblivion. Additionally, conferences that are out of sight are out of mind. I hope they make the right decision whatever that is, but what a tough spot to be in.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:13 PM ^
Oakland.....
September 14th, 2020 at 4:13 PM ^
Blank was also a Dean of Public Policy at Michigan, fwiw.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:14 PM ^
So you're saying a conference that threatened to drop the hammer on one of its members (Nebraska) when they made rumbles about going their own way & playing, is going to follow the same process for their next decision?
September 14th, 2020 at 4:16 PM ^
But wait! What's this about the schools having a vote? That can't be. Some slappy on the Internets said that Gretchen Whitmer is **not** going to allow *any* football?! And what's a "chancellor"!?!
I smell a commie, antifa rat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 14th, 2020 at 4:17 PM ^
That smell you're smelling might be the doodoo on the sidewalk of your city.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:42 PM ^
The only places I've ever been that smell like shit are all in the midwest. The west coast smells like roses, sea salt, and fresh mountain dew (not that mountain dew).
In all seriousness, I think SFBlue was making a joke about all the crazy Whitmer conspiracy folks.

Business Insider: People are pooping more than ever on the streets of San Francisco
https://www.businessinsider.com/san-francisco-human-poop-problem-2019-4
To each their own I suppose.
September 14th, 2020 at 5:12 PM ^
According to the Daily Beast, somebody just pooped on Pelosi's driveway, which I find uncivilized but hilarious.
September 14th, 2020 at 5:37 PM ^
You are insufferable
September 14th, 2020 at 6:12 PM ^
Have you even been to SF wd?
September 14th, 2020 at 8:03 PM ^
Who would want to go there with the human poop problem?
September 14th, 2020 at 6:24 PM ^
I don't know what city you're from and don't care. But I what I can tell you with certainty, Tucker, is that it's not half as beautiful as San Francisco.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:24 PM ^
SFBlue was this supposed to make sense?
September 14th, 2020 at 4:16 PM ^
In a stunning turn of events, all 14 B1G schools leave the B1G.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:27 PM ^
Actually, Purdue stays behind bringing new mean to the one in B1G.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:18 PM ^
Fuck if I know what any of this means. I guess the "if we possibly can" does leave some doors open either way
September 14th, 2020 at 4:18 PM ^
It seems that various Badgers may have been the "anonymous" sources that emerged Friday and over the weekend. If I recall, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was one of the first to break the story, and now the UW Chancellor is speaking. It would be great if someone in the Big Ten office would make a statement or issue a PR to stop, or reduce, the rampant speculation.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:18 PM ^
I don't believe anyone, so we might as well stop posting. If by Friday a decision is made yes or no to a season. If we don't hear anything, then we are not playing this season.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:22 PM ^
There must be some mistake. I was told that Mark Schlissel and Gretchen Whitmer had agreed to sabotage the football program and let all the best players transfer to Ohio State without sitting out a year
September 14th, 2020 at 4:23 PM ^
This is one of the few things I find interesting in all this mess. Rutger's president said he is absolutely convinced he made the right call, would he really change his mind that quickly? If it was a close vote for yes is he really going to put his team on the field when he thinks it's dangerous? Is there some mechanism the big ten could use to force his hand?
September 14th, 2020 at 5:45 PM ^
In fairness, the quote in the OP mentions all B1G teams but not 14 teams. Easy explanation could be that the UW Chancellor may not consider Rutger as part of the conference.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:31 PM ^
Yes but what does Sir Yacht say?
September 14th, 2020 at 4:42 PM ^
Sounds like Dan Patrick talks out of his ass quite a bit.
September 14th, 2020 at 4:50 PM ^
The tweet is less than clear. She says all the schools are going to do the same thing "if we possible can." Which means it is also possible that all the schools won't do the same thing. This seems to be at odds with it not being a school by school thing.
September 14th, 2020 at 5:06 PM ^
"if we possibly can"?
So, we all want to work together but we might not...
The decision ostensibly has to do with the various schools feeling as though they can play football safely or not. If enough schools feel that they can, are we saying that the schools who think its unsafe will just play anyway because democracy? Seems odd
September 14th, 2020 at 5:13 PM ^
she's a univ. of minnesota grad who runs Wisconsin.
Isn't there a by law somewhere that wisconsin disallows this?
