    The western half of MD is pure Steelers country. Baltimore and the suburban sprawl just west of it are Ravens, then the rest of the state is Redskins. The northeastern 2/3rds of VA is Redskins, the far west is Steelers and the southwest is Panthers.

    The northwestern quarter of OR is Seahawks, the southwest is 49ers, and the eastern half is Cowboys (?!)

      And NoVa has absolutely no college football presence, unless things have changed in recent years. Doesn't help that the local schools are UVA, MD, and VT, and only the latter ever had a few good years in the last few decades.

        VaTech has become very popular. Other than that it's Pedo State.

          ESPN reported that they think this all originated from a player who threw up in a game vs. S Florida.

          And now the Titans in the NFL are reporting 8 new cases.

          Can we review who thinks this is being controlled well?

            Generally, I think sports have gone pretty well, certainly better than many predicted. Hockey just finished with no problems. The NBA has entered the Finals without any problems. Baseball has entered the playoffs, and other than a bumpy start primarily involving St. Louis, MLB has managed.

            College sports were always going to be the riskiest because the participants are young people. Yes, I know that slap shot's teenager takes this very seriously, therefore all young people are taking it seriously, and dx will break out his crayons and charts to prove me wrong. But honestly college aged kids are going to take this less seriously than professional athletes or the rest of us working from our pantries, and because of that, sports like college football, college basketball and college hockey are going to see some bumps along the way. The question will be, how do they handle it.
            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              Well the NBA and the NHL isolated so they had the best chance at working. They listened to the science and acted accordingly. Baseball didn't and the season almost didn't recover after the disaster that was the Marlins and Cardinals. Since that debacle teams have been pretty hardcore keeping their players in line and the playoffs are all neutral site as was suggested for the whole season. (again listening to science)

              I think college basketball will figure out a way to make it work because they have time. (same with hockey) Football, especially certain leagues south of the M/D line sort of crossed their fingers and prayed. The Big Ten I think will be better off because they paused and still have time to formulate a proper plan. Doesn't mean it will work but at least they have the time. In truth though as long as the players are on campus with other students who have free will to leave and go other places the players are at risk. Since it appears the youth have bought into the fact that they are immune to the disease...well there ya go.

                Basketball logically should have it the easiest to contain/control given the # of players per team. Football - even pro - should have the most difficult time.

                  ND FB has 18 positive tests among players, they are going to practice tomorrow. So far 25 players are isolated, 14 in quarantine.

                  Forgive me for questioning the process for college football to be allowed to play.

                  (the new part is that ND is announcing that they will practice tomorrow)
                  That's the power of a player association. ND has all the power, so life goes on. Unless you're the kid Brian Kelly killed of course.

                    ND started testing positive last week. They've probably had enough time to do contact tracing and are satisfied that everyone who should be isolated/quarantined is at the moment.

                    The Titans (and by extension the Vikings) are still in the time frame where the test may not even show up positive for someone who is infected.
