    I haven't paid much attention to the tailgating situation, but I think they were going to announce something prior to the first game.
    We will be required to wear masks unless eating or drinking... so my water bottle will be in my hand at all times while seated. :D

    Don I see Ryan Day is still talking about playing this fall, starting in October. What do you think, can it really happen?

    From what I have read, there appears to be a division between the 14 Presidents of the conference. 8-6 against playing due to Covid 19. A lot of lobbying is going on behind the scenes. Another vote will not be taken until there is a majority in place to play. Once that happens the vote will take place and announced. I am anxious to have everything resolved. The time element is crucial if we are to make the CFP.

    Terry, I just saw this on 11 Warriors.com site:

    Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday that the Big Ten will not vote until this weekend “at the earliest” to decide on when its 2020 football season will be played.

    I read somewhere that the Michigan President is a big barrier to the Big 10 playing.

    I have read that as well Bill. Coach Harbaugh definitely wants to play and is actively campaigning to resume play.

    You think that if Michigan holds out it could cost them their coach?

    I couldn't imagine Harbaugh leaving Michigan over this.

    Also only got a glimpse of new Miami QB D'Eriq King last night but it looks like he's going to take up where he left off, being a dynamic playmaker at QB.

    I doubt Harbaugh would leave but he is really upset about not being able to play.

    Contract expires at the end of the 2021 season. Given his temperament, his frustration re how M and the B10 handled the Covid issue might cause him to go back to the NFL but his ties and emotions re M are substantial and deep.

    Well if you are an OU fan and want to watch them play Missouri State it will cost you about 55$ for the pay per view.

    I was kind of surprised that OU ended up on pay per view. They are a team that has a lot of fans, with a reduced number of games available, I would have thought that they would be on network or cable.

    Granted the opponent is ho hum, still it's OU.

    Hey AJ... you need to see if the SEC would swap NU for Mizzou. I'd have more fun in Lincoln than at Mizzou. :cool:

    Memphis has suspended football activities after a lot of players turned up positive. Initial reports are that there were a lot of players who were on a Party Bus after their game with Ark State. But one of the players said there was no Party Bus, that it was the Ark State players who infected them. I'm guessing he just wasn't invited to the Party Bus!!

    Lies Dog! Nobody Had A Party Nor Was On A Party Bus!! Arkansas St needs to be the ones Tested❗️ We've been doing what we're supposed to do , all this came after we played them! https://t.co/5YPJBw2Dx4

    There are.going to be a lot of upsets and a lot of sloppy play this season. At least that is my prediction. Turnovers and broken plays from teams a players you don't expect to have them is what I'm expecting.
