Give the go-ahead Greg

[Proud Army Wife]

Dear SEC,

since you made the announcement, but still no updated schedule...

Any day now would be nice. "Oh we're lucky if we even have a season", just shut up ok. I'm so football deprived I'd just like something to hypothesize over at this point, thanks.

You got it, P.A.W.

I dont think Greg is holding it up. Can you imagine 14 SEC ADs and coaches coming to an agreement on who to play? Probably not going very well.

More likely, the ADs and coaches are trying to figure how to keep their jobs rather than who they MIGHT play.

I honestly don't think it will be a college football season this year, they might try but in my opinion it won't last. Hope i am wrong, l love those fall Saturdays. GBO

 

[Iam4utalways]

Seems it was said that strength of schedule would be part of the equation. Just match up each other’s newly opened up dates and go from there.

There will be 10 that will have to play the Vols this year. They better be ready. We will be ready.

The P5 conferences are going to do their best to play because of the money at stake, now whether they get that off the ground or not remains to be seen. I'm just glad it's not on me

IMHO, which means nothing, I think when actual students get back on campus the resulting spikes will force closings.
No classes, no football.
Leaving the football powers saying We tried. Send your donations to save our football.

Of more concern, the Kids being returned to their taxpayer funded daycare babysitters(schools) will spread the virus like nothing else. Leaving "educators" saying.. We tried.

It is not our fault, don't hate us. We tried.
Please send money.

they see the setting of the sun in an orange-tinted sky

unsettled, the minions of doom prepare an exhausting gauntlet of foes for the men of tennessee

alabama, florida, uga, auburn, lsu, ta&m...

the giants line up to take their swing

they awaken to see their wretched ways are for naught

alas, the orange colossus had taken the day

Come on SEC! Big 10 just released their schedule

Errbody that doesn't have them already on schedule is fighting over Vandy and Arkansas. And the gators fighting not to get Bama.

Moving OSU-UM before Halloween says the Big 10 doesn't think they're going to make it thru this season.

The NFL is practicing, high school kids are practicing in sme places. ZERO fatalities so far, we can only hope they all stay under their beds clacking their knees and wringing their hands in fear until the next practice.

I have lost a friend. Fatalities are real and horrible. Thank God, most don't die.
Slowing the spread is about being able to treat and take care of the people that get sick.

Only problem is there are 14 teams in the BIG 10

 

[Rockytoptalker]

Probably going to be lucky enough to have a 4 game stretch that ends up a little something like this

Florida
@lsu
@Georgia
Alabama

Already effected one Tennessee high school football team. Also from a couple of parents it's already effected some schools that has already opened up.

This is truly amazing. I can't believe cold viruses are contagious and don't disappear after people are told to wear cloth masks.

This is why athletes should be worried:

So you know for a fact all of these young men from Greenville wore masks 100% of the time they were outside of their houses?

Did that fix it?

Love this answer. GBO!

Yeah, you're probably right, but let's at least hypothesize. That's all we got.

Yeah, I don't see Auburn or Ta&M as giants. Both are beatable teams. One could argue that fLorida is as well.
