Im reading all kinds of things on Bucknuts and other twitter accounts accusing Clemson for breaking COVID protocols and that the NCAA is looking to postpone the game so that ALL players are available? Is anybody else hearing these kind of rumors? Apparently Disney has already contacted Ad sales informing them?

Herbstreit was trying to call me this AM, but it was was too early to talk to that guy, so I sent it to voicemail.

I dunno, maybe that's what he was calling to let me know.

Lemme have a cup of coffee, I'll call him back, and then report back with what he said.

Would be stupid. There probably isn't a scenario where ALL players/staff are COVID free. Barring a large scale outbreak on a team it's something you just have to account for and work through.

Probably just Ohio State looking to change the rules again to buy a banged-up Justin Fields more time to recover.

Apparently, almost all of Ohio State's defensive players have tested positive since the Clemson game. This is going to get real interesting....

Or Waddle coming back for Bama?????? No...there are legit concerns that Clemson NOT testing their players, led to a COVID outbreak on Ohio State. There are a bunch of defensive players on Ohio State who now have it. Game is going to be moved to January 18th is what i'm hearing?

Yea, but Waddle will be back and healthier for Bama. I'll take that trade-off.

I bet the +8 the other day and I was thinking that might be a bad idea as I could get ratfricked by some COVID stuff. But, it can go the other way, too.

They dominated already without him, he’ll just be icing on the cake

Why test if you don’t feel sick?

Because you can still spread and by asymptomatic.


Why is this such a hard concept for people to grasp?
