College Football 19-20: Where We Kinda Want Clemson As Champion.

Also, you’re framing it wrong. She’s not stupid because she doesn’t understand football can’t be played socially distanced.

She’s stupid because she’s not asking why the hell her 5yo is going to school during an uncontrolled, deadly national epidemic

UNC is going to full remote classes after multiple outbreaks and their COVID dorm was almost at full capacity after four days.

ND is going two weeks full remote and will reevaluate after multiple outbreaks.

Does this spell the end for ACC football? Of course not. Student-athletes may stay on campus and practices will continue.

Mack Brown said it will help their players...probably because no one will notice they arent taking any classes.

I think the Big Ten would get less crap if they showed the players and parents all the information that lead to the decision.

Well of course it helps them, it gets them closer to a bubble. But if you can’t even hold classes, it seems ridiculous to have athletics.

It is beyond ridiculous, but such is the shamelessness of modern college athletics.

It's been a while since I've done an athletic department post since news of dropping sports turned more to cancellations around July, but it appears another hockey team received the unfortunate call.

Alaska-Anchorage says it will eliminate hockey after this season, along with gymnastics and skiing. Sorry, jim.

Even without Covid there always seemed to be simmering worry about a couple of programs. I fear this won't be the only shoe that drops.

There's wolves, and there's the cold, starvation, and disease.

Ugh. Glad we got up to Sullivan when we had a chance. Amazing, amazing, amazing trip.

Easily top three hockey trip I’ve ever made. That includes Philly 0.6, Tampa 2016, Gophers at the Garden, Boston. So many others.

Sad, sad day for me.

You're dreaming: That didn't happen.

The budget issues in Alaska are such a mess that it didn’t seem likely both programs were going to survive, if either of them would.

UAF says they will be keeping all athletics. Of course, they have to as they’re already at the NCAA minimum of 10. UAA’s move yesterday put them at 9, so they’ll have to add something.

Some clowns tried floating a rumor that Nebraska, Michigan, MSU, Iowa and Wisconsin were going to go rogue under the leadership of tOSU and play a home and home schedule. The games would not count in the Big Ten standings and there would be no actual champion as the BTCG would not be played. Somehow people bought this...

The Clay Travis' of the world (leader of the "The Media is Out to Destroy College Football and Takes Joy in It) didnt seem to realize that the Big Ten would never sanction those games which means they would not and could not be shown on BTN. Since they will make no money off of fans in the stands that means they would be putting their players and coaches at risk for literally $0. In theory BTN and the Big Ten could blackball them from other networks as well. (since they own the broadcast rights)

Needless to say...the rumor didnt last long.

I still see some SEC humpers on Twitter insisting that the Big Ten will end up reversing their decision not to play. And I guess a bunch of angry parents have written letters to TPTB making all sorts of Karen-ish demands for video meetings, additional detailed explanations, and a reversal of the decision. *shrug*

For college football fans, and ESPN, this may turn out to be the best year ever. Non-stop college football from September to April.

 

[Handyman]

The Big Ten is apparently going to release a schedule that starts in January...not sure why it will never happen.

I’ve touched on it a bit in the D-1 threads but I’m not surprised UAF will keep going.

UAF and the UA administration (which are really the same thing) have never liked that UAA has had the higher athletics profile (between the hockey team and the Great Alaska Shootout) and join that with an institutional desire to have UAF as the flagship, traditional university and keep UAA as a glorified community college and, well, here we are.

Georgia State QB announces he has to sit out the year because he has a heart condition due to getting COVID...

Well This Will Ruin Your Day

What is wrong with people...

edit:

Scott Gudmundsen was toting a veritable arsenal as he rushed in screaming, “Police! Get on the f------ ground or I’ll kill you!” Among his gear, which all together weighed upward of 35 pounds: two loaded Glock 17 pistols, one installed with a micro RONI stabilizer, such that it resembled a rifle; two 33-round Glock 9mm magazines, containing 50 total rounds of ammo; an armored plate carrier; four 30-round rifle magazines; and two knives.

Eyeing the gun in Gudmundsen’s grip, Wesley says he dropped to the pavement and locked his hands above his head. Farrell initially tried to diffuse the situation, pleading with Gudmundsen to remember their interaction from the previous day. But it was no use. “Shut up!” Wesley says Gudmundsen yelled, repeating his orders: “Get on the ground!”

As Wesley remembers it: Gudmundsen marched up the driveway, “right over Kyle,” who was now splayed out, “and goes straight to me.” Again, Gudmundsen accused the salesmen of being antifa, which he said negated their civil rights. Face down, Wesley couldn’t see what was happening, but he felt Gudmundsen grab his ankles, attempting to restrain them. “I’m too big,” he says, “so it didn’t work.”

Instead, Wesley says Gudmundsen knelt on the back of his neck, jamming the rifle-like gun against the offensive lineman’s skull. Fearing that Gudmundsen would pull the trigger at the slightest movement, Wesley tightened his fingers until his arms throbbed with pain. He bawled and begged:

“Please don’t kill me. … Please don’t kill me.”

Gudmundsen’s reply still haunts him.

“You’re lucky,” Wesley remembers hearing from above. “I’m not going to kill you. The police are going to do that for me.”

So which night is Gudmundsen speaking at the RNC?

I thought you were doing a bit with the CC line, but it turns out UAA was a CC until '71. And there wasn't even a college in Anchorage until 1954. I mean, it was just out of the territory days, but you'd think by 1960 when Anchorage was already triple the size of Fairbanks it wouldn't take another ten years to get a four year school there.
