Was hoping they made it the opener. Want to take Michigan’s soul right off the bat.

Thank God

The SEC trading in their balls for a hatchet wound between their legs almost screwed me out of football during dove hunting weekend

Wisconsin vs Minn in Wk 4? Frick off with that nonsense. The battle for the ax needs to be a cold weather game.

Looks like Michigan will win its last game of the season for the first time in years.

How are things going to work for the postseason with no uniform start date? The SEC starts a month later than this.

If they play regular season games with no fans there’s no reason they can’t set up a 4 team playoff with no fans. If that ridiculousness is even still needed in 6 months.

Bama/UGA is on 9/19 right? LSU starts another week after that That's 2 weeks after the B1G starts and the B1G has an additional built in bye week. It's not that different I don't think.

Looks like championship weekend if it happens is the same for everyone

Makes sense why multiple captains mentioned “beating the breaks” off of Michigan in their interviews yesterday.

Please let this game happen. It will be a blowout of epic proportions.

Oh look, an OSU/B1G thread.

Oh look, CatsGoneWild has posted in it.


I guess some things haven't changed during the pandemic.

Autist needs to learn to STFU until he wins a big game.

There won't be a season, anyway.

quote:

While we appreciate the Big Ten’s recently announced plan for the upcoming season, we believe that the conference’s proposal falls short in certain areas. Given that the players are the primary stakeholders in the business of college sports, we believe any course of action moving forward needs to include player input. We are deeply disappointed with the lack of leadership demonstrated by the NCAA with respect to player safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that the NCAA must — on its own and through collaboration with the conference — devise a comprehensive plan to ensure the safety and well-being of players leading up to and during the upcoming fall season.

The NCAA — which is known for its zeal for regulations and enforcement — has had ample time to prepare for the safe return of its athletes to competition, yet it has done nothing. Its laissez-faire approach is forcing each conference and each school to create its own plan, resulting in inconsistent policies, procedures and protocols.

Given that the NCAA and conference leadership have not asked for our input, we feel compelled to call for clarity, commitment, and action regarding our common-sense proposal below.

We have started a dialogue in good faith with the Big Ten and hope that the NCAA will follow suit. Given the short time frame, and with our season at stake, this conversation must happen now.
