So if we have games, then conference only
Does that push the ACC and the SEC to actually play 9 games?

Yes, but only because the SEC will expand and invite The Citadel and College of Charleston.

And those schools will be playing games 2x a week.

Like LSU is going to give up a home game against Texas.  Seriously?

For a weekend of partying and football, hell yeah. Purely as a fan, preserving the LSU road trip for better times is the number one thing I want to see.

Not only that, we need to reserve the right to go to their campus and bitch about every little thing. Also, if you attend the game and do not wear one of those personal air fans (regardless of the temperature), then you're not doing it right.

I don't see this as a choice at all

All I see is college football

With all of the best draft-eligible players not playing. Now, you might like that because it's college football, but the product won't be nearly as good as it would be in the fall.

Sure it sucks if Trevor Lawrence, etc doesn't play.  But it only sucks because you know they aren't playing.  The product on the field will be the same it always is.  The best players leave every year.  And new players step up every year.  That's college football.  It will be the 2022 season played 6 months in advance.

If all non-conference games nationwide are canceled it seems like a pretty easy thing to do to have all teams agree on changing the dates of their scheduled non-conference games by one year. That's a lot of bad press if you're one of the handful of teams that doesn't agree to it.

If you play it without crowds and have to move it, play it somewhere it will never be played under normal circumstances like a good high school stadium.

Cancel the whole season.  Stop stringing us along.

Just think it will be a home game...in the spring.

No league will be "immune" to the issues of COVID, can cash cover for a lack of population (think future recruiting turf), for some..?

No way they let it be a home game for TX or OU on a one off year.. so Jerryworld it is.. goddamnit just cancel the season at that point.

But what if none of us (neither Sooner fan, nor Longhorn fan) can attend the game, the oddity of the situation is mind boggling... 🤨

This is entirely inaccurate and misleading.

They are extraordinarily shitty people. Nothing "just" about it.

Would be a smart idea of college football to have a bunch of smaller 8-10 team conferences all within the same geographic footprint. You could have one consisting of schools in Texas plus maybe Arkansas, for example. You could call it something like the "Southwest Conference" or some such.

That's stupid. How could we do that but also include the obvious schools like West Virginia and Iowa State?

Why is JerryWorld a better alternative to the place that's completely open and will have no one in or around the area? Again people, the Cotton Bowl game was played in that stadium, without the State Fair around it, for decades. You can play a one off game at Fair Park without the State Fair as long as Dallas is still willing to allow it and pay for it. Assuming the contract is locked in, Dallas will have to pay unless they tell the teams the game can't go on. I highly doubt they do that.

Your avatar makes me ragey. Fuck you, Steve Patterson! How in the living fuck did UT decide he would be a better AD than Oliver Luck?!  That decision alone set us back about 10 years. We’re still in the process of recovering from it.

I'm fairly sure Patterson doesn't read this board, but since your message is one that it is vitally important he hear, I believe it would be appropriate for you to Google his current whereabouts and make sure that this gets said to him directly as soon as possible.

I'm just pretending to think there is still a chance.. All signs pointing in the same wrong direction.

Like looking around the poker table unable to find the fool.   Damn it.

 

 

Bring on the spring season. January - April is the shittiest time of year anyways; this will make it fun.

Unlike those other towns the red stick is pretty badass. Plus I was going to stay 3days in Nola the day after the game.   Covid sucks

Last time I was there, I saw a billboard bragging (complaining? hard to tell...) about having a higher murder rate than Chicago. 

I honestly can't think of anything beside the LSU dance girls that redeems that place. Not one damned thing.

They can probably get out of the contract easily enough. I was just thinking in terms of safety (only one team would need to travel), operating costs (playing on a home campus for free) and logistics (safe, clean, updated locker rooms for both teams).

I would lean to Cotton Bowl myself but sounds like teams hate it from a logistical standpoint and we know the locker rooms are cramped. They could also look at SMU, the Star or a high school, I guess.

Shit won’t be better in the springtime. That’s when a stronger wave 2 is hitting.

I didn't say it was worthless, but if making judgement calls on what's the least fun time of year, that's it. Late spring - summer = mountain climbing season, low workloads, shitloads of sun. Fall - early winter = football, hunting, great weather, holidays. Late winter = Super Bowl, March Madness, and loads of shitty cold and darkness.

Hope for a vaccine or continued improvements in management. Management of the disease on a case-by-case basis is vastly better now than three months ago. So it's obviously reasonable that will be even better in another six months.

Spanish town Mardi Gras is probably the best one in the country. 

The State Fair of Texas was canceled this morning.  So if we're going to have football this fall, we probably need a different location for Texas-ou.

That's not what you said. You said if there's football, we'll need a new site. If there's football, our AD and OU's already said their plan is to play at the Cotton Bowl. Sure, it could change but until that moment, all this talk of playing Austin, Norman, or JerryWorld is pointless.
