A&M out of Gator Bowl

[bamawriter]

At this point it should be that you sit out, test daily, and are back in once you produce two negative tests. There is no logic behind the 10 day rule.

Sub in Texas so the aTm heads explode.

This.

Perfect

I’d laugh if we could get some kind of scenario involving Texas and the team scrambling to get to the bowl game in time.

They’re all on the bus to the game, shaving while also hurriedly trying to put on their pants and shoulder pads, all at the same time. Some of them show up on the field with no jerseys, backwards jerseys, or jerseys only draped over one shoulder pad.

Each helmet only has half the Longhorn logo on a single side because that was all they had time to do.

As it should be and I’ll go one further . The NCAA should have this as a comprehensive policy for ALL sports & all participants instead of the current piecemeal arrangement that varies by conference affiliation . If this were the case chickenshart coaches couldn‘t use it as an excuse to weasel out of a game an hour before tip without taking the L .

That’s a totally hypothetical scenario regarding a coach weaseling out of a game at the last minute btw , I don’t believe that any coach would do something like that .

I take it you're referring to the Memphis BB game. If Memphis was forced to forfeit what would that do for UT? Give them a "quality" win? Anyone with half a brain cell would look at UT's resume and see that UT & Memphis didn't play. I'm not sure what a forfeit would do for UT's resume.

A&M soft like an uncooked loaf of bread!!!!

It’s not the Impact to the resume that is of concern . I’m not saying that Coach 1 cent intentionally did a COVID flop. I’m also not saying he didn’t but there should be a comprehensive policy where if you can’t play you forfeit in the event that if a coach and or program decided to COVID flop they would be held accountable in the form of taking the L. If it’s a legitimate outbreak , which this may very well have been since UM also had to cancel their game with Alabama St then I still think the team unable to compete should have to forfeit if a rescheduling is not possible .

Why even have big rosters if you aren’t going to play those guys too?

It’s ridiculous those guys can’t get a shot when others can’t play.

So last year when we played Vandy, I think they only had like 54 scholarship players. Are you telling me that TAMU has less players than that?

Down to 38 scholarship players total. Only 13 defensive scholarship players.

It looks like the bowl plans to look for another team. How would that work? Weren’t all the 6-6 teams given bowl spots?

Jackson State or the I-AA champion?

 

[vollygirl]

Jackson State or the I-AA champion?

Primetime would be ridiculous. Lol

 

[KINGSVOL]

Could this actually happen? They are looking for a team!!!!!

Or Jacksonville Jaguars

Rutgers is probably going to be the team.

Rutgers had first shot, but declined...Illinois will go if contacted...

Reports I’ve seen said they are still considering and leaning towards accepting.

Just saw where JSU was blown out against a 6-6 team. Nevermind.

Sounding like it’s going to be Rutgers:

I think it’d be lame for Tennessee to back out of a bowl and an opponent we already committed too. Plus fans have already gotten tickets and made hotel arrangements. Not gonna happen

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

I'd be pissed since I live in Nashville and look forward to seeing us paint Nashville will Purdues blood

 

[VolPack22]

Sounding like it’s going to be Rutgers:

This is what I said in the other thread wanting UT vs Wake. Not sure why people are wanting us to back out of a bowl to go to another one. That would set a bad precedent.

I’m also not sure it would even be possible to do, in all honesty.

I had read where they had declined due to players not being on campus, that sort of thing...But it now seems like they will play

Apparently they (or at least, a lot of them) still were:
