I don’t believe any of their data for 1 second

Come on man!

Fortunately, or unfortunately, your belief has nothing to do with the numbers.

You don’t believe that one conference is good to go while other conferences are struggling? Even though this is the SEC, known for putting athletes first? How dare you.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

They are one of only 5 Power Conferences to play this fall, not to mention many G5's. UConn? All of New England, save BC? They have intramural tryouts.

Which of the major conferences are actually “struggling”? Sure, there’s been a game here ior there that was cancelled, but most that were, were by the non-conference teams that were going to play them. Good grief we have some posters that have gone nuts since we’ve decided to be one of three schools to opt out.

None of the major conferences are struggling. Over the next 4-6 weeks the percentage of games being cancelled will continue to drop.

No one should feel vindicated or invalidated at this point. We know enough now to say some players across the country at different sized schools have gotten the 'rona. Contact tracing and isolation has definitely affected practices and has caused some games to be cancelled. There is still the possibility, as more games are played and more travel occurs, that the situation can get worse. It's a dynamic and evolving process of getting games played.

Right now only thing I am confident in saying is I think there is a high probability is month of October will have almost a full slate of games. I wouldn't bet a wooden nickel on what November and beyond holds for the season.

Cool, no one cares. Stay under your covers.

Its not what you know its what you can prove.

This week in the SEC, the Tigers vs the Bulldogs!

I genuinely wonder if, by week 4 now and all the preseason stuff we know was going on at other schools, most of the rosters on these SEC teams have gotten it, but the teams simply refused to report cases and somehow get away with it. The OU coach came out and explicitly said they would be hiding their COVID data for “competitive reasons”.

And once they’ve all had it, they likely won’t get it again (during the season).

conspiracy theories everywhere. We may be able to tell by who plays and who doesn’t, just sayin.

 

[Exit 4]

You can see it now- SEC school wins national championship and 5 years later some kids let it out that 1/2 the team had COVid and played anyway. This story writes itself.

Yeah like the LSU player who was out with “illness” lol

It’s not too much of a “conspiracy theory” when Lincoln Riley has explicitly said he’s doing it

Of course this is going on. But it doesn't mean it is school or coach sponsored. Players exposed themselves in August and September. Schools don't have to report details, and can cite HIPPA until there are FOIA requests. Setting aside "we don't know the long term impacts", the players know the same statistics that were cited earlier -- 99.9%+ safety for them personally. These are athletes that take PEDs, sacrifice their personal lives, workout all year, etc. To think they aren't taking steps to ensure they and their team get to play is illogical. And the most logical step to ensure they play is to get infected 30 days prior to the start of the season.

the SEC has three teams that are tigers and two that are Bulldogs. There are many weeks where it is the tigers vs the Bulldogs.

Appendicitis??

Regardless of which team wins, this story will be true of that program.

 

[Chief00]

The SEC is adjusting to this as many successful businesses are. Randy with his “no change” attitude just is not psychologically equipped to handle the current environmental. Change is necessary.

Can't believe it took someone that long to get the joke! Of course, a ND fan would notice.

Does ND have any sports program that is historically mediocre?

unfortunately, football seems to fallen into that category. From Davie to Willingham and finally to Weis we were less than mediocre. Hopefully Kelly can bring us back to where we should be. He has taken steps in that direction, but there is still a ways to go.
