Awesome! I have something else not to watch now!  :rofl:


But seriously, I'm fairly certain colleges/sports leagues have been cutting their own throats with all the delays/uncertainty/cancellations that are undoubtedly responsible for at least some of the animosity towards them beyond the decision to spit in the face of half the country.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

If you are not in the US and referring to soccer, then yes.

Do they think the schools in Michigan will participate?

Still not a lot of specifics out yet as to who's doing what or when.

Sorry, I just don't get excited about big muscular sweaty men playing with balls.

It's all Trump's fault

Quote
    Note the date: 9/16/20, the day the vaunted Big Ten became the SEC. It choked. It got scared. It sold its soul for football. My @usatodaysports column on the darkest day in Big Ten history: https://t.co/uaWfgpgSqO

    Or, we could call it the Trumpeting of the Big Ten. It was just two weeks ago that Trump, desperate to win votes in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, told the conference to play football. Originally, the league stood its ground. Rutgers president Jonathan Holloway aptly called it “cheap politics.” But wouldn’t you know, the university presidents ended up following right along, giving Trump exactly what he wanted.

Hot damn, college ball is the one sport I really enjoy, and was looking forward to. 

The Big 10 was looking seriously bitchmade when they pulled the plug and the SEC/ACC/Big12 just carried on.

This year has actually made me appreciate Jim *expletive deleted*ing Harbaugh.  The guy coaches the enemy team, is a giant ahole in general,  but he put himself out there for college ball so I'll give him that.  OSU is still going to wreck his team whenever they get around to meeting  :cool:

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.
