Still haven’t heard shite from Kevin Warren...

If he has a good attorney, we won't see much of him til all the law suits are settled. Michigan prez Schlissel either.

I do laugh at the notion that rapid testing is the reason for their reversal. That’s what they’ll say is the reason for changing their minds.

It’s pretty simple: the Big10 commish and presidents massively underestimated the fan and player and political/legal backlash from cancelling the season. And in an effort to keep their jobs, they’re caving to the pressure.

It's time for common sense to return to our country and politicians to sit the frick down and allow people to live their lives they way we always have. The jig is up.

And ramrodded their Cancel 2020 season initiative without approval of the boards/regents - mostly Warren and Schlissel's scam - A nearly billion-dollar blunder.

AG's are breathing down their necks.

But even that will still make them look foolish. When you say "that's the decision and it's not being revisited"...you're saying that it's a done deal no matter what anyone else does, what new news or information comes to light, new testing procedures or vaccines, etc. If that wasn't the case, they would have said "as of right now we're not playing until X, but we will continue to monitor the situation and adjust accordingly."

They doubled down on their stupid position and are likely going to get exposed for idiots.

IF there's a season,

And IF it starts on October 17th,

And IF Ohio State runs the table (would be even better for this scenario if Nebraska does as well),

And IF there's a B1G title game,

And IF at least some fans are allowed,


Kevin Warren is gonna be boo'd louder than any Commisioner/League Executive in history.

Um, they were in the B1G championship game 2 years ago.

Which doesn't really help the Penn State troll's argument that the SEC is "probably not" better.

Well, we don't have to worry about this. A couple days ago I said if the B1G continues to drag their feet, Ohio State should just play Nebraska 10 times as a warmup for the CFP

It would be hilarious if the most notoriously nice fanbase in the country finally boo'd something though




I can't wait until Nebraska visits Ohio Stadium again. I sincerely hope the whole stadium goes wild when y'all leave your tunnel. (Sadly, this doesn't happen until 2025, )

In recent years, Northwestern beat Kentucky, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt twice.

So much for that stupid point.

Oh, this state LOATHES Warren. No Nebraska Nice when it comes to the commish. And frankly some of the B1G in general. If we get to play, I'll cheer on the Huskers for the 3 games they probably win. I'll root for OSU to make the playoffs and win.

I like the Buckeyes considerably more now than in the past. Always respected that program, just didn't particularly like them.

That is going to make NHL fans booing Gary Bettman sound like a peewee football game.

The other guy was worse.

To your question, Northwestern has two relatively recent wins over Vanderbilt and Rutgers has two over Arkansas.

I'd say the win goes to Northwestern and Rutgers.

University of Nebraska President Ted Carter clarifies his earlier remarks

quote:

Asked about the comments caught on the hot mic, Carter claimed that what he was trying to say was "there is a lot of work going on to move in the right direction and he hopes they'll have a resolution soon, and hopefully that resolution will be playing football this year."

Deb Fiddelke, chief communication and marketing officer for University of Nebraska-Lincoln, had the following statement: “When there is any news to share or confirm regarding any Big Ten board decision, it will be announced by the Big Ten. Chancellor Green and AD Moos will comment at that time.”

That sounds nothing like what he said
