    Pretty wild that his first kid is already old enough to play in the majors

    Yeah, Duke said the Cubs being run by and employing turd humans completely turned him off to following them, and killed the fun of talking about them. Good for him. this is not what happened. he disappeared after they blew the division to the brewers in 2018 and then briefly came back when it looked like the cubs were good again early last season. his personality was always tied to the cubs winning. i know he was plenty appalled at the off-field stuff (all of us here are), but he didn't stop following the cubs because of it. tree, on the other hand, appears to have legitimately quit the cubs after the russell stuff. i remember he said something about us all being complicit if we continued following the cubs after that, and then he basically bolted. he's better than us for it. Duke very clearly stated the reasons he was paying less and less attention to the Cubs. It was very obviously related to the racist trump supporting owners and russell situation. There’s a lot of names I’d put in the box “personality tied to Cubs winning” before him.

    Suggesting players are safer under the care of the people who control college football is next level stupidity.

    I'm saying the possible harm is further spreading a disease that has killed 175,000 americans and is still spreading and closing down schools left and right with outbreaks. Of course, but if students are going to be allowed on campus, then players are much better off in a structured setting with constant testing and reporting to coaches daily. If campuses are closed, that’s another story. How naive are you to think players are better off in structured setting of college freaking football? These programs are run by neanderthals that think catching covid will only make you tougher. The only structure is coach worship idiocy.

    It's this moronic "just open everything and deal with the fallout no healthy young people are dying so who cares" ignorant conservative nonsense that is the reason we have been dealing with this problem non stop for 5 months.

    Not really. You think football players are less safe from Covid because they're playing football as opposed to doing what college kids do like go out to bars or house parties or have sex with people off Tinder or whatever the hell they do these days? Considering that football players during a season spend almost all of their time in the athletic facility, I'd say they are much, much safer than a regular student. Not sure about the other schools but at Ole Miss they do 4 Covid tests every week. Does the general student population have access to those measures? Hell no. All they had to do was push back the "season" like the other conferences did and wait and see what happens with the NFL because if the NFL can't pull it off then college football programs certainly can't. I'm saying the possible harm is further spreading a disease that has killed 175,000 americans and is still spreading and closing down schools left and right with outbreaks.

    What's the possible harm in at least trying to play a season? What if the ACC, SEC, and Big 12 have somewhat normal seasons and the Big 10 ends up sitting on their butts? The students are mostly on campus, the players have BEEN on campus for months. Hell they are even playing intramural sports up there. It was an extremely knee jerk reaction by the Big 10 to cancel that quickly. It's going to cost tens and tens of millions of dollars for those programs. Those athletic departments are going to have to cut numerous sports due to not playing. The only reason the Olympic sports are funded is because of football TV money. Given that the players were ALREADY THERE for the past few months, why in the world would they not even do a cursory attempt to play and see if it works out. Oh, and here's the kicker, they want the players to STILL stay on campus and STILL do workouts and STILL go to team meetings because they might have a spring season when everyone knows they won't. It was foolish to at least not TRY to have a season. If it doesn't look like it's going to work out then fine, shut it down, but to not even attempt it is a terrible mistake IMO. I mean, the answer to this question is fairly obvious, right?

    I could have sworn there was a thread for this but no idea where it is. In a bit of odd timing I just go notified I'm 1,969 on the season ticket waiting list, although I thought I saw closer to 1,000 when I checked earlier this year. Maybe if I go full time work from home this could happen next season.

    “A” player My bad. Didn't realize that we were still pretending that if "A" player tests positive we can just send them to their room and everyone else is fine. My bad, didn’t realize you were still in denial about your team being a bunch of selfish incompetent morons.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Only if you want to set the precedent of voiding any team's season who has a player test positive. “A” player
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Isn't that why the taxi squad exists? Why hasn't that already happened? Because one positive test means the rest of the team could be coming up positive within the next few days. The taxi squad is to have a roster available once enough time has passed that you can reasonably assume others guys were not infected, replacing the positive tests. But it can't happen day of a positive test.

    Bruce wrote a book, and tells a funny story

    I tend to agree, however maybe playing a very limited NC schedule breathes some life into the non-NY6/playoff bowl games. I find all bowl games outside of those games boring and pointless (though I see how GO5 schools may like them). I suspect the genie is out of the bottle on that front. Now that CFB has succumbed to bracket fever, I don't think the average fan is going to care about the non-playoff bowl games anymore regardless. (This is the part where I concede I'm a CFB lunatic and really like watching the NY6 games, at least, and often tune in for at least bits and pieces of the minor bowls too.) The average fan has not cared about the non top bowl games for decades.
