    Well, if the SEC plays, guess my addiction to college football will compel me to adopt a favorite team. I visited Oxford years ago and really liked the city so leaning toward Ole Miss. Plus, nationally, Lane is despised as much as Jimmy so guess Ole Miss is the logical choice.

    Report of B10 cancelling season may be incorrect

    Jim left out "and we are going to miss those 11 positives who didn't make it...".

    Wild rumours going around that the SEC will poach players from the Big 10 and try and woo a few teams to join them in playing this fall. Not sure how that would all work but hey..it's rumor time!!

    Neb, Iowa, Mich, Penn State and Ohio State to join the B12 and play the season. Yeah I don't think that will happen.

    Isn't that the tagline for this whole cluster-**** of a pandemic?
    I'm certainly not against further study, but shutting things down over a few POSSIBLY linked cases...
    Well like I said... erring on the side of massive overreaction is now the American way.

    "Conference officials and athletic directors told ESPN that the uncertainty about the long-term effects of myocarditis has been discussed in meetings of presidents and chancellors, commissioners and athletic directors, and health advisory board members from the Big Ten, Pac-12 and other conferences around the country. Last week, college administrators saw a Facebook post from Debbie Rucker, mother of Indiana offensive lineman Brady Feeney, who wrote that her son was dealing with potential heart problems after battling COVID-19."

    People can get myocardial inflammation, feel fine and never know it, Dr. Jonathan Drezner, director of the University of Washington Medicine Center for Sports Cardiology said. He said most athletes who get myocarditis will be able to safely return to sports after a restriction of activity for three to six months. But he said that in some cases, the inflammation can turn to scar tissue and put the patient at risk for an irregular heartbeat that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest, which can be triggered by exercise.

    Listen to me, nobody, NOBODY makes it out of life alive. WHY are we being pussies about this? Attack this thing head on. See the battle of Belleau Woods for reference.
