Coach Nowlin Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 On 8/12/2020 at 4:52 PM, BTF said: Apparently not. The SEC, Big 12, and ACC are still moving forward. Props to those conferences. They apparently have more of a spine than the Big 10 and the Pac 12. The Pac 12 doesn't surprise me one bit, but the Big Ten is a head scratcher. This question has not been posed yet: Would Jim Delaney made the same decision? Me thinks not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvigo13 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Ohio State, Iowa, and Nebraska football parents have sent letters to the B1G commish regarding his decision to postpone the season. Don't think it'll make a big difference but interesting nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Lincoln Riley let Oklahoma players go home. Only 25% of players left campus, but nine of those that left came back and tested positive. Muda? Are you out there? Stop shucking corn and open your eyes...

Fear of liability. High school is playing, muddle school is playing, elementary aged local and travel leagues are playing yet the Big Ten/PAC 12 punted on first down.

Had some family over on Saturday for a couple of birthday celebrations. Shucked a couple dozen ears of corn and then made cooler corn. Along with pulled pork and fruit salad it made a fantastic meal.

Arcadia, lol. Again, I do not reside in Arcadia. Do you? And unfortunately my current abode doesn't have a view of corn stalks, tractors, or barns. I wish it did, though. Have you directed your rage at the cancelling of the Big 10 season to Mr. Warren and all the university presidents who voted for the cancellation?

Muda69 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 We Can Usually Count on Ohio State to Produce Top-Tier Oblivious Athletes: https://deadspin.com/we-can-usually-count-on-ohio-state-to-produce-top-tier-1844748260 Quote If you ever need to find someone who doesn’t get it, you can generally consult Ohio State to come up with a candidate for you. That’s what we have currently with quarterback Justin Fields starting a petition, which currently has 200,000 signatures, to get the Big Ten to reverse its decision to not play football this fall due to the, y’know, virulent pandemic currently cutting a swath through the country six months after it first arrived. But hey, those dead people and possible future dead people don’t ball, right? On some level, you understand where Fields is coming from. He’s got a lot on the line here. The Ohio State QB is almost always a direct line to being a high draft pick into the NFL. Fields might even be the No. 1 pick the next NFL draft, whenever that might be. He might be concerned that not playing, or playing during or after the next NFL draft, might hurt his chances at becoming that. Or having more than a full year off from competitive football might not see his skills be as sharp, and drop his stock. The thing that Fields, or any of these other “MUH RIGHTS” morons don’t get is that it doesn’t matter if you want to play or not. We all want to do the things we can’t do right now. I want to scream at the asshat putting Dave Matthews on the jukebox over my Van Halen songs before I fall headfirst into my own vomit puddle at the bar. That’s what I want to be doing, that’s part and parcel of my life (Ladies?). But I know that what I want can’t happen right now. It’s not safe. And for those who can’t separate what they want from what’s safe, they essentially have to be protected from themselves, and those of us who actually understand the world at the moment have to be protected from them. Fields’ petition says that the players themselves can follow whatever protocols to keep them safe and healthy, but as we’ve extensively covered, any cross-section of either athletes or college students cannot. And given the extensive number of players on college football teams and the amount of teams in just the Power 5 conferences, there’s almost no chance every single player would follow protocols to the hilt and not put at least their entire team in danger. Things would have to go perfectly, as the NCAA’s own chief medical officer told CNN Sunday. Which we ain’t happening. Understand that this is America, where people feel they should always get what they want, when they want, and if they don’t it’s a violation of everything we hold dear and they’re going to stamp their feet about it in the middle of a Walmart or while pouring their apple-tini over some poor server’s head, but that’s what Fields is doing here. And seeing as how he’s still a kid, even if he’s on the precipice of being a millionaire, someone needs to tell him how things really work. In fact, they already have in the form of the Big Ten’s decision to postpone its season, but someone has to get Fields and the rest of them to listen.

You're trying too hard. The state of Georgia is fully open and both high school and collegiate football are taking place there. This is, however, a great example of common 18-22 year old behavior outside of Arcadia or whatever farming community you call home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I content those youth and their experiences are as "real" as anything a D1 OMG! Athlete experiences while holed up in the B10 football Ivory Tower.

Boilernation Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Speaking of Arcadia, great little coffee shop there called The Remnant. It has the hip rural appeal that gets mimicked in places like Broad Ripple and Fountain Square. Rural Indiana has some gems. I agree with Nowlin; Delaney wouldn't have cancelled the season. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out as it's now unclear whether a formal vote of Big Ten Presidents was actually taken.
