Spot on.

"And the quarterback is toast!" A little of topic, but it's a very memorable movie line (Die Hard if you're an old fogie like me). Much like high school, I'm hoping for a season, but I just look at trends and get nervous. Notwithstanding, Purdue brings a lot to the table and will hopefully stay healthy if the season goes. Their new schedule does look tough, going to Michigan won't be easy, but at least we get Ohio State at home.

You are correct. They had to cancel because they are independent in football and with most conferences playing in league only, they were the odd man out (much like me:)). But, not to back down from my fatalistic demeanor, Covid-19 is a certain death sentence...

UConn not playing football this fall:(

I kind of knew that. Benton Central is a rival school of mine who suffers a similar fate.

As you were.

Not at all. I don’t believe he (as well as me) wants to eliminate everything. This pandemic is serious, don’t be so blind.

I think it’s Hammond Tech.

Is there some underlying reason their games keep getting postponed?

I live in it also. But on the southern edge. My wife works in Hammond.

Not this year 🙂

Not surprised. Shameful, though.

Admittedly, I was not that optimistic of a full season. You may choose to think of me as a Donnie Downer/Gloomy Gipper, but I think more of myself as a concerned father, citizen, and not to mention one hell of a model American. But the fact that two MLB teams have had not just one or two players, but rather nearly the whole team come down with the thing, leads me to believe we probably shouldn’t press forward. I don’t see it as locking the kids up, but rather giving them hopes for a better future.

As long as he doesn’t follow Illinois.

Bear in mind we have a lot bigger population than Italy and Canada.

We’re going up against something we never have before, please remember this.

I used to live near the zoo also—Belden & Commonwealth—great neighborhood.

Not good for the DAC. Lake Central, however, will be playing football although e-learning.

Add select players from Watseka, Paxton-Buckley-Loda, and Dwight to South Newton's roster a look out! We're talking juggernaut... Sweet! Best of luck...

I agree. We’re not doctors, epidemiologists, scientists (although it would be very cool to say “Back off, man! I’m a SCIENTIST!!!), but just football fans. We can immerse ourselves in any type of journal, research, etc., but it’s meaningless. The State of Indiana has much more qualified people.

It wasn’t.

Maybe they’re getting rid of all hostile nicknames—so long Indians, Rebels, etc.
