The general student body will be returning to Austin in advance of the season, and it's possible that some amount of those kids, along with the football players, will break all safety protocol and socially gather. It only takes a spark.
August 12, 20205 yr Assuming a season gets played, the overall winner in all of this could end up being the AAC.

It’s a really bad look and it’s way way more than 70 tests per team. By the time you test the teams, coaches, staffs, stadium people, tv people, etc. I’d guess you are looking at well over 1000 tests to play a game. And they are talking about doing it multiple times a week. Talk about tone deaf. Who is still waiting 7-10 days for test results. I am a doctor on TV and every lab I know can get results in 24 hours or less.
August 12, 20205 yr Quote I'm all for Nebraska coming back, but it has to be permanent, they have to take a partial cut for awhile, and they need to erect a statue of Bevo sodomizing Tom Osborne in front of Memorial Stadium. That's like asking for a diamond when you are just filling in for the weekend while the girlfriend is going to visit her sister.
August 12, 20205 yr Fuck OU in the ass. Add any team willing to come and play this year and move on. Hell I would let Nebraska take their place for a year just out of despite.
August 12, 20205 yr I think the BIg12 and the SEC are playing chicken to see who will bow out first. College football is not happening this fall, unfortunately.
August 12, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, NoctambulantBrobdingnagian said: I agree with this; they are starting the season The BIG12 presidents had plenty of cover to follow the lead of the the PAC12 and the B10; they didn't They will at least start the season, it is happening, and you are going to go ballistic -- these are all facts Hahahahaha keep telling yourself that. I’ll live in reality
August 12, 20205 yr 10 hours ago, DenverHorn said: Heat Stroke, Opioids, steroids, CTE.. the list goes on. This is about money/liability so I guess they think the climate and focus increases the potential lawsuits and reflective settlement figures. Yep. Plus, in all of those cases, there's no chance the student athletes can spread those things to family members, friends, or fellow students on campus - potentially expanding the liability geometrically.

Texas has the money and resources to wait, rather than make a hasty decision right now based on future scenarios that have not played out. I support the University for doing so. I'm just flagging the likelihood that after taking its time to see how events unfold, Texas could be forced to pull the plug before we get to the season opener.
August 12, 20205 yr So can a kid in one of the schools not playing now join the transfer portal to get picked up by one of the schools that will play in the fall?

August 12, 20205 yr Mmhhhhmmmm sure. O and D lineman aren’t fat as fuck (most of the time) or anything. Christ what is it with you fucking people!?!? htown is cool with college athletes dying so he can watch football While I agree with you point, as a former college OL I take offense. [emoji41]Seriously though, In today’s game OL and DL are the some of the best athletes on the field.
August 12, 20205 yr I think there's definitely legs to Riley wanting to punt on 2020 to give Rattler another year to develop while Ehlinger graduates.

But I'd think there's a good possibility Ehlinger, and everyone else in their last year of eligibility, will be allowed to play in 2021. Sure, Rattler will get an extra year to develop (and eat dicks), but if this season is scrapped, Riley shouldn't bet that Ehlinger won't be on the field in October 2021.

How does anyone not see this, it’s pretty obvious. The Ratller kid may turn out to be special, but if Riley can avoid throwing him out early, he will. And he sure as hell doesn’t want to bring a rookie to Dallas against an upperclassman. He waits, he faces a rookie.

I hate Nebraska in ways a Texas fan couldn't possibly understand. So I get this. But I miss having that kind of hate in conference. I don't really hate anyone in the Big 12 except for Baylor, and that doesn't really have anything to do with sports. If you're a fan of a Big 8 school other than maybe Oklahoma, you hate Nebraska with every fucking fiber of your being and miss having the opportunity to punk them, or given the case with their recent program, just reign blows down upon their ragged corpse as payback for 50 years of dominance, and then taking their ball, going home, and leaving us for dead on the side of the road. God, I fucking hate those cock suckers.

One player, one coach, one trainer, one manager, one ball boy, one ref, etc. to get COVID and have things go south. Is it likely to happen? Probably not but this is all about mitigating risk. Giving up one football seasons sucks donkey dick but is a hell of a lot better then destroying an entire University if it turns ugly.

August 12, 20205 yr I don’t get the Nebraska hate. We owned them. Yeah they bailed and were bitches but I put that more on Osborne. I’ve always found Nebraska fans to be great and I really enjoyed my trips to Lincoln. Winning helps that.

I feel they ran away like gaping vaginas and they should fucking deal with it. Fuck em. But you guys should totally get them on your schedule every year in non-conference play. I’d like to see you even the score.

They have always acted like the spoiled 8 year old brat who thinks they are better than everyone else because their mom and dad were HS sports stars 25 years ago. Nobody gives a shit and time has moved on but they keep living in the DISTANT past. They left the Big 12 because they weren't getting the "respect" they thought they deserved and instead of checking their ego at the door when moving to the Big 10 they decided to let everyone know that things were going to change now that big bad Nebraska was here. All bark and no bite from Lincoln. They lose and continue to lose and fall further into College Football obscurity and battle it out for 4th place in the Big Ten West with Purdue and Northwestern every year. Nebraska needs the Big Ten a hell of a lot more then then Big Ten needs Nebraska.
