Warning: Political Takes 2020 College Football: the “season” has officially started

[SaltGator]

Did Mullen actually say that a COACH may opt-out? Please tell me some asshat coach won't get paid if he doesn't want to work. Fire his ass!

If Knox and English opted out, would it really matter?

Have these geniuses thought about how teams are going to stay under the 85 player limit if most of the senior class returns and incoming freshman also want to be on the team?

That only works if we burn down a couple of RVs during our protest. Thats the new "peaceful".

That's been my question from the beginning, and I've yet to hear it answered.

Here's another, if we get spooked mid-season and close shop, where do we play games like ut and Mizzou next year. Or for that matter, where is the fsu game played next year? Are these college towns who are going to get hammered by all this expected to give up the following year's contest as well due to natural rotation?

These are the details that otherwise bright people have completely failed to address. Again, no different than UF sending emails asking for money because of the money they'll lose this year. I was never asked for my opinion on this. You unilaterally decided to cancel, or radically disrupt things, based on a virus, not me. If you can't afford to pay your bills now, you should've thought about that or maybe brought one of those mathematics professors you employ into the discussion. If I'm giving any extra money to anyone, it's the local Gville businesses who had no say in the matter and are getting filleted due to your overreaction and/or inadequate access to Excel.

Well my post was a parody of Bait’n’s story above and was said in jest. But I promise you, if I ever visit your hotel and am not killed by gunfire en route from the airport, or pulled from my vehicle and beaten savagely by protestors, I will wear a mask when I enter the building. I don’t want anyone there feeling unsafe.

Brilliant.

SEC: No matter what happens, we do this together.
ACC: Together!
Big12: Let me ask Texas first.

I can see the campaign rallies now...

“Lock him up...lock him up...lock him up..”

One day old man, I **** on your grave. Count on it.

Where do you get this stuff from?

Wait, you make these scientifically baseless statements to generate clicks. Damm and it worked.

I get by #SCIENCE from peterpuffers on CNN who know that cotton stops viruses.

Oh How much I needed something like this, awesome.
With all that’s going on right now with CFB.....that was a breath of pre Covid.

Oh how I wish we could just ignore all the nonsense and get back to Football without talk of player unions and COVID and banning tailgates.

ESPN would talk about Football, not BLM and “social justice”!

Is it possible?????

 

[Double Gator Dad]

some people actually think that the reason they cancelled the season was cuz these players were connecting so much on social media and they started stuff about unionizing

This is the typical liberal approach to an issue, create a negative result for either outcome.

If you play football this year, you don't care about the safety of your slave players
If you don't play this year, it is because you are trying to stop the players from unionizing.

Apparently hypocrisy can be very rewarding some times

@tbhorka: Mississippi State corner Tyler Williams will opt out of the 2020 college football season because of COVID-19 concerns, his mother told the Clarion Ledger. Williams, a redshirt junior, was set to be a starter. He's a big loss for the Bulldogs. Mississippi State corner Tyler Williams opts out of 2020 football season

So pretty much any returning seniors next year won’t count against 85 scholarship limit

What was it Ron Burgundy told San Diego to do? That's what I feel about Franklin's commentary.
