Better get ready for no season

1. Many have been mostly right for several months.

2. Many have been mostly wrong consistently for several months, and fought the right ones every step of the way.

3. The wrong ones still try and move the goal posts or try and rewrite their roles in history. See how sensitive they get when you link to old threads. Watch them employ Whataboutism.

4. The costs of being on the wrong side has been immeasurable. Losing fall sports is insignificant compared to 150k dead Americans and a recession. The posters didn't cause those things, but they don't have the humility to say they were wrong.

5. So calling them out is fair is far as I'm concerned. They aren't bad people by any means, but at least a few are defensive and sensitive to being told they were consistently wrong. Humble thy selves.

The scientific community, comprised of worldwide epidemiologists who have spent their entire careers in the field, have been right, by far, for the most part. Faced with the knowledge, governmental officials around the globe have been challenged with many very difficult decisions to make. Obviously, some have fared better than others. Failures to be focused and determined, yet fluid and dynamic, in decision-making have been costly ... not a time to be stubborn.

That's ultra far right extremist BS and you know it. You want 4 more years of Trump's ineptness combined with an obstructionist GOP Senate...it's why we're in the shape we're in. How are those Clorox slushies working for you?

Biden is awful. He’s been in government for years. He’s done nothing. Why in the world would anyone want that perv is beyond me? Regardless of how you feel about Trump.

This is all about money, nothing more.

Dude, this election is all about Trump. Nobody's voting for Biden. Everybody's just voting for or against Trump.

should be the opposite.

Why? You said it yourself. Biden’s done nothing in 40 years. He won't do anything in four. Trump's the wildcard.

 

[Grumpyolddawg]

Peace brother.

Same to you, I really dont like politics.


But here is something I hate sharing , hoping it is wrong but afraid it isnt. A couple of our posters are saying to brace ourselves for what's coming. If it's true , expect an announcement soon that the season is going to be delayed with practice starting in Dec. Hopefully they are wrong about this but they normally have good info.

 

[ace on the river]

The MAC canceled all fall sports. SIAP

 

[catben]

should be the opposite.

It will be by November 3. After the first debate, poor Joe will be exposed for what he is and isn’t.

 

[catben]

If every other conference call’s it quits, would the SEC buck them all and continue with a season?

Don't doubt the chance for a season is slipping away but don't think the Dec thing is likely. Don't forget many schools, UK, TN and I think UGA but many others too, are looking to get students off campus by Thanksgiving, they're not going to want a bunch of jocks hanging around. Short of a season, what I'd like to see is a focus on getting winter workouts/spring practice up and running with hopes of starting 2021 on time. Meanwhile, get a handle on Covid...others worldwide have done it, US can too with a strategy other than "let's ignore it and hope it goes away."

MAC coaches complaining that schools are already trying to poach their players.

Unfortunately that has been the same story the last few elections. Trump is in office today because Hillary was a terrible

I can't disagree with anything you said. 20 is ghb going to be a wash I am afraid. I honestly have no clue about the plan to get kids off campus, but I dont think that is a factor, Aug practice starts with no classes CV in session. But a Jan start would put conference bb and fb in direct competition for dollars. I guess the best plan would be to forget 20 and have spring practice for the 21 season. Just give everyone a one year bump to 95 on scholarships for the sr who want to stay

This is a straw man. No other country better off than ours today did so “inevitably” (think you mean infinitely). They did pay people to stay home for three months and bailed out industry for lost business.

We are the richest country on Earth and posters acting like we gotta penny pinch to make it through.

As I already linked to your thread, you virus worshipers were wrong. 4 to 7 million dead, bla bla bla- you people are insane. I quoted everyone single one of the virus worship posts- please defend that 7.5 million dead Americans horseshit, you virus lover. I guessed around 50K deaths which is actually close when you consider the fact that many non corona deaths are counted as virus deaths. It's still closer than what you psychos were predicting- 10 millions etc. Good call, Corona lover.

. This virus is an upjumped horse manure bad flu season. As far as the lost jobs and recession, that's on you and your beloved, but misguided, lockdowns, that created the lost jobs in the first place. You virus fans are disgusting and I don't even think that all the disaster that you wreaked on this country is going to give you what you want in November. You people are horrible, and will do anything and everything for politics. Horrible people.

Another bad forecast, unfortunately. Geez ...

Flu deaths average between 12,000 in a good year to 50,000 in a bad year. This thing has took out 165,000 in five months. We have better treatments now and are losing 10,000 every 10 days. That's almost the amount of a good flu season.. We will be lucky to play this spring..You can go ahead and play , but I predict that it would last two weeks at most.

 

[Ldgator]

IMO not that outlandish when you consider how things abruptly changed in 24 hours. No way the MAC has that kind of influence.

 

[WildcatofNati]

Not a single one of the virus fans has a word to say against hundreds of thousands of rioters and protesters jammed up like sardines, screaming their lungs out, and completely failing to social distance in late May and early June. But let's get rid of football and close down restaurants and bars again. Disgusting.

Did those cities see a big increase in the numbers of infections? Now compare that to Florida and Texas during that time.

Pedo Joe being prez will ruin the nation.

Yeah, vote for the guy who has the hots for his daughter, raw dogged a porn star while his wife was at home with their newborn, and is a serial adulterer.

That's between him and his wife, none of your or my business. Felt the same way about Bill and his alleged little indiscretions.

 

[ukalum1988]

Peace brother.

Peace to you as well. I hate when politics gets on a football thread.

 

[JC CATS]

Funny thing is I think this whole COVID-19 is bullshit. Locking down the country and everything. The people who want you to believe everything is doom and gloom just got the first school needed to put pressure on the rest to have no season. Worst part about the whole situation is that none of this would be happening if it wasn’t an election year.

I don't know if I would call the whole thing political with 160,000 dead and 80 other countries want to get rid of their leader also?

 

[JC CATS]

What about, "beat the virus"! Yes, great idea. Might as well try to "beat" a hurricane or a tornado, while we're at it,

Some countries are handling it pretty well

 

[JC CATS]

CTE is a lot bigger risk than CoronaVirus and that doesn’t shut down college Football. Well not yet anyway.
Hopefully you Coronabros keep tabs on these college kids if the season is cancelled. Make sure they are home tucked in bed at mommies house.

This is just ridiculous. Nothing is real dude

 

[truebluewildcat]

So if everything from about March until now or from now going forward into the future was really about saving lives, we wouldn't be talking about coronavirus at all. We'd be talking about shutting down fast, sugary, processed, food industries. We'd be talking about social distancing from the candy bar aisle in grocery stores. We'd be talking about closing down concessions at sporting events, but not the actual event. We'd be talking about people going outside more and being more active, not staying home.

If by the end of the year corona takes out 300,000, that won't even be a statistically significant number of the population of people who have already been weakened by one of the other more pressing public health issues and more than likely on their way out anyway.

So corona at the end of the day, can't even manage to make a dent in the population that is most susceptible to it.

 

[sluggercatfan]

Its 2020 boss...this is the new normal...

Only because WE THE PEOPLE are letting it be. Don't get me wrong ...we certainly have folks preparing it to be and many are following like sheep even refusing to be furious at the very country that is the SOLE cause of this catastrophic pandemic because WE THE PEOPLE elected an AMERICA FIRST president. What a sad nation we are in the process of becoming...that said, I'm looking forward to the coming season . I've had season tickets for 40 years so I'm hoping we faithful fans are allowed in. #GOCATS

 

[sluggercatfan]

The "virus" is now causing me to like posts from Kyle and occasionally a U6 fan. Strange times, but at least we'll have football, whether the virus fans like it or not. If they don't like it, they can stay home, stay safe, and socialist distance and enjoy their satanic new normal. And they can also keep parroting that "we're all in this together" (hilarious, by the way).

"We are all in this together " depending on who you are...then it's fine to do whatever you want.

 

[Johnfarrel]

Some countries are handling it pretty well

Well, France's deaths/known cases is 12.9%, UK is 14.9%, Italy is 14.1%, Spain is 9%, Germany is 4.2%. The US is 3.2%. If keeping people alive is the goal, few countries are doing better than the US, and the Euporian democracies with the exception of Gernany are doing badly. As the number of known cases goes up the death rate drops.

Unlike Dumb Donald, Dems don't ignore the facts. Maybe once Biden takes over we can beat the virus with better testing and tracing instead of bleach injections and sunshine.

Yes!!...this is the guy we want... being a useful idiot sir!

[TBCat]

One would think listening to medical and scientific experts is common sense...

Ughhh.

Dr Fauci in March "Masks are unnecessary and just protection theater"

Trump in March "Masks are unnecessary"

Dr Fauci in April "Corona is heat sensitive and will go away in summer"

Trump in April "I believe this will go away in summer"


I believe the problem is Trump did listen our health care experts. And that seems to be his biggest mistake. I don't care where you stand on Trump or Biden, but you have to admit our health care experts were a massive liability to us. Remember the CDC? Yeah they actually still exist, at least in theory. I remember believing they were our first line of defense against something like this. For some reason however that now seems to be Bill and Melanie Gates.

Our health care experts, and again I am not talking about the doctors treating patients this is about the administrators. They have not shown themselves to be worthy of being taken seriously. Nothing they have done has demonstrated even minimal competency. From not being able to produce tests at the start of this thing to now having tests that are producing 100% positive rates. And even worse that those centers producing 100% positive rates are still operating. Why would you continue to operate a testing center when you are getting back results that you know is impossible. And yet those centers keep producing bad data.

They have also allowed their expertise to be clouded because they themselves have politicized their job. Telling us that going to a salon to get your hair cut is going to explode the infection rate but some how thousands of people, not wearing masks, crowding streets doesnt? They lost me the moment they declared the riots as a health care necessity. That tells me that your statements are completely political.

 

[sluggercatfan]

For sure the Democrats are absolutely idiotic for nominating two of the worst candidates to run against the most polarizing and vulnerable Republican in my lifetime. However, the scare tactics you just used in your post are largely imaginary and wouldn't hold up to even the most basic level of scrutiny.

For starters, the VP has zero power to do anything except break ties in the Senate. Zero power. Guns and abortion should be near the bottom of everyone's list of issues to vote on because neither are going away anytime soon regardless of which side is in power or who's on SCOTUS. It's just not happening yet many people continue to cast a vote solely on these issues.

Secondly, your point that if Biden wins this country won't exist in the same way is ridiculous. The far right said the same thing when Obama was elected, yet here we are. Biden is purely a transitional one-term candidate so the Dems can get Trump out of power and run someone with a pulse in 2024. He'll do absolutely nothing meaningful in either direction as POTUS.

The far left and "woke" crowd have gone full retard, but the far right claiming a Biden administration would be like the early days of Nazi Germany is equally stupid.

Before you ask, I'm likely voting for neither.

IF JB is elected...please Father in Heaven NO...he is only a vessel, or havent you watched him lately. Whoever is vp will be president inside of a year. Then Bernie, aoc , barry will be making all the decisions.
