Alright boys, who's headed north this weekend? And who has an extra ticket?

Is week 1 the only stream only game or are there others?

New boss is taking me duck hunting in costal North Carolina mid January for 2.5 days, weather is historically in the 40s. He has given me a list of things to bring. Is there anything else I am going to want/need or is dead weight and I should just leave it behind. For the things I still need, recommendations are welcome.

12 gauge
100 shells 2 shot
Waders
Waterproof camo jacket with hood (mine doesn't have a hood, is that critical)
long johns
Camo hoodie
Thick wool socks
Camo fleece toboggan
Camo ball cap
Camo face mask (don't have this)
Camo gloves (or this, probably okay spending big money on gloves)
Shell belt
Blind Bag

Have a job opportunity there, will be in the office downtown. Lower 30s, no kids. Wife works at hospitals so we're good there. Need a yard for my dog.

Any place to look at/ avoid? Anything I should know other than what you pick up living in the next state?

Haven't heard anything.

Omaha and OKC bound! Now for the links.

Baseball looks to build on an impressive 2019 and start of 2020 before getting shut down. So far Auburn is either barely out of polls or in the #20-25 range. Richard Fitts and Ryan Bliss have been getting named to some 2nd and third team All American lists.

Looking at getting some more pmags and I ran across THIS LINK. Has anyone ordered from there before? Anything I should look out for?

The NCAA Division 1 Council is set to vote today on eligibility for college athletes. The Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) of the power 5 conferences issued the following letter last night. LINK

quote:

---

“We are aware that eligibility relief presents extreme challenges for universities and the NCAA. Our job is to stand up for what we believe is right and fair for athletes,” the letter states.

The group is requesting “immediate support” for housing and food for student-athletes. With many campuses shut down during the pandemic, access to food is an issue the group wants member institutions to remedy. It suggests more awareness and access to the Student Assistance Fund, which is intended to assist in covering student-athletes’ non-athletics-related costs while attending an institution.

“If the NCAA focuses merely on eligibility relief and does not aid those who are unsafe and unable to pay for food and shelter, then we have already failed our peers as collegiate athlete leaders,” the group wrote.


The group requests that all athletes that did not have the opportunity to complete their championships season be given an extra year of elgibility. That would include all Division I spring sport athletes as well as winter sports athletes who qualified for postseason events that were canceled.

The third request is to have returning seniors’ scholarships renewed and those scholarship not count toward financial aid limits.

“Roster limits and competition fields should also be expanded to accommodate returning seniors and incoming freshmen,” the group wrote.

“Now, more than ever, it is imperative for our college athlete community to unify and support each other by standing up for what accurately represents the unified voice of college athletes. We are United as One.”

As I see it they will do one of the follow:
Give seniors a year back
Give everyone a year back
Give no one a year back

How do y'all see this playing out?

This wins the internet today.
