The SEC is trying to get teams to join them for the season
lol

Turn out the lights, this ones over.
August 10th, 2020 at 9:58 AM ^
Word (from Pat Forde on Dan Patrick show) was that the vote was 12-2 to postpone season... with Iowa and Nebraska dissenting.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:56 AM ^
For two programs trying to salvage their reputation for different reasons, I find it curious that they want to play in this environment.
Tinfoil hat time: I wonder if there was political pressure from their governor's office to vote the way they did.
August 10th, 2020 at 11:08 AM ^
There absolutely was, in Lincoln especially.
August 10th, 2020 at 9:39 AM ^
Let’s pretend it will go away on its
own next year and see if we can repeat
August 10th, 2020 at 9:44 AM ^
A big fuck you to everyone who refused to wear masks and follow instructions the entire world seemed to have no problem with.
Those people will have a lot of time to think about what they did on Fall Saturdays when The Big House sits empty for the first time literally ever.
Orange apparently rules over Maize and Blue to them.
August 10th, 2020 at 9:53 AM ^
the NFL will likely have a season
this is also about college age people wanting to party and not socially distance - look at how what Rutgers athletes did had a huge impact
blame politics all you want, but this is also about younger people thinking it won't affect them
August 10th, 2020 at 10:09 AM ^
I think the NFL will give it a go but I wouldn't be shocked if it sort of looks like the MLB on steroids, wherein some teams have games cancelled because of an outbreak and everyone is left scrambling.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:28 AM ^
without fans it will be far easier to push the Super Bowl back in order to complete a season
August 10th, 2020 at 11:06 AM ^
That is pretty much what I'm expecting to happen.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:18 AM ^
Of course this is about politics
the minute trump said to wear masks republican polling showed mask support skyrocket
apparently, people follow their leaders. And if you elect a humanized internet troll, you don’t get good leadership
August 10th, 2020 at 11:03 AM ^
This is about both. However, an actual federal response would've helped alleviate the actions of individuals
August 10th, 2020 at 4:16 PM ^
Does no one remember him restricting air travel VERY early on and being hammered for it? I’m not saying he’s been perfect. We are trying to deal with something the likes of which have never been seen before. But damn, it feels like he could cure the virus and the haters would still find an issue with it. He will never do anything right according to the left, or anything wrong according to the hard right. He’s in a no win situation.
August 10th, 2020 at 11:56 AM ^
Good point, but it can and probably is attributable to both
August 10th, 2020 at 9:55 AM ^
This has nothing to do with wearing a mask! It’s fucking political!
August 10th, 2020 at 10:00 AM ^
uh huh. And who made it political?
August 10th, 2020 at 10:04 AM ^

As the rest of the world has controlled it. Yup, it’s a global conspiracy to take down the US President. I hear they all meet once a month to discuss at Kim Jong Un’s place.
August 10th, 2020 at 11:45 AM ^
That's my favorite take. What's more likely? There's a global conspiracy where countries have damaged their economics and seen thousands of their people die all to submarine the US president? Or the US president is a trust fund boy, facebook troll who has no business leading this country and it's showing? Hmmmmm...
August 10th, 2020 at 3:33 PM ^
No they have not. I talk to our UK and our Dutch office almost daily. It’s the same damn way over there, and they say all over a Europe. Straight from their fucking mouth. So you couldn’t be more wrong and uniformed. Go eat a dick.
Oh, and I still appreciate you getting Brandon fired bro. For real.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:30 AM ^
germl,
Fuck you you god damn coward. Fuck your orange messiah too. Fucking coward.
Its Political aahrerrrrghgghghghg
Loser
August 10th, 2020 at 10:48 AM ^
This may be the worst post I have ever up-voted.
August 10th, 2020 at 11:37 AM ^
I lost it a little, not my finest moment. Went against my own rule, dont text or email angry.
Have a good day Maison
August 10th, 2020 at 12:00 PM ^
If you can't lose your shit when we lose UM football, really when can you?
August 10th, 2020 at 4:12 PM ^
Crum,
Germi is laughing at you have an aneurysm right now.
Sincerely,
Someone who loves America and doesn’t want to move to Canada like that embarrassment that you all upvoted the other day.
August 10th, 2020 at 9:59 AM ^
I love Michigan football just like everyone else here. At the same time it will not be the end of the world for me if there isn't a college football season. There are way bigger issues in the world besides this one.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:07 AM ^
we’ve made it this long without sports. More time away can only do you good ive learned.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:01 AM ^
So I rarely wear a mask, I don't social distance and I've tested negative. Maybe a big fuck you to the folks that believe the media that this is such a horrible virus.
Truth is, if no one told us there was a pandemic, live would be going as normal.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:07 AM ^
This is what happened in Detroit when no one knew there was a pandemic before it was too late.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:07 AM ^
Unassailable logic, bro!
August 10th, 2020 at 10:11 AM ^
You’re on some bullshit, Fish. A personal narrative about how you’ve haven’t got the virus doesn’t mean shit. It’s one of the stupidest arguments out there and I can’t believe people actually use it like it’s evidence of anything. Over five million infected and 160,000 dead in the US.
August 10th, 2020 at 4:24 PM ^
I still know of only 1 person who has tested positive. One. And we haven’t worn masks for shit down here in Ft Wayne until the recent Governors order. It was about 50/50 on the masks until then. Maybe less.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:11 AM ^
Congrats? All those 170k who are dead must be faking. You should go yell at their graves about stop buying into the media's fake story. And make sure you don't have a mask on so that they can hear you better.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:14 AM ^
I'm not a fan of doxxing, but I really wish I knew who you were and where you lived so I could make certain I don't cross paths with you or anyone you come into contact with. You sound like a Covid vector waiting to happen.
August 10th, 2020 at 11:29 AM ^
Thank you. I wouldn't want to meet you either.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:32 AM ^
And some smokers don’t have heart attacks or lung cancer. Doesn’t change the science that not smoking is better for your health than smoking.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:59 AM ^
"Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill. In fact, 2 out of every three smokers does not die from a smoking related illness and 9 out of ten smokers do not contract lung cancer."
- Mike Pence, circa 2000, and head of the COVID-19 Taskforce. This country is so fucking stupid.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:57 AM ^
"I was cold once, so global warming must be false."
You, and everyone like you, are the reason football is about to be canceled. We could have had this under fucking control by now, but nope.
I've been inside my apartment for 5 fucking months and you're out there ruining it for everyone.
August 10th, 2020 at 11:05 AM ^
wow, you really are that stupid
August 10th, 2020 at 10:33 AM ^
Stop with the gas lighting over masks.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:42 AM ^
Nope, I’m gonna keep reminding everyone so we can have Michigan Athletics back some day. Because they’re not coming back until dipshits get with the program
August 10th, 2020 at 10:55 AM ^
it's not coming back until college students socially distance
the game can come back without the rest of society following rules - now if you want fans at the game.....
August 10th, 2020 at 11:33 AM ^
So are we just dropping the student-athlete charade and admitting that college sports are another form of mass entertainment?
August 10th, 2020 at 11:08 AM ^
Your dear orange leader FINALLY came out to tell people to wear masks and you don't even believe him? You're a lost cause
August 10th, 2020 at 11:33 AM ^
You’re unhinged. It’s a game. And it wasn’t happening either way.
August 10th, 2020 at 9:40 AM ^
Welp... just when my life was starting to get good, it may get boring once again.
August 10th, 2020 at 9:59 AM ^
Look at the bright side, PW---it'll give you time to join up with your biker friends.
August 10th, 2020 at 10:24 AM ^
They can all clothespin playing cards to their bike spokes to sound incredible as they ride down the road...
August 10th, 2020 at 10:49 AM ^
Well, my wifes life just got better with no football. Let the honey do list begin.
August 10th, 2020 at 11:19 AM ^
You could always make that list yourself and start working it. Surprise her.
