Nah, nah, nah, you're wrong*
I'm not saying another word because I don't want to get banned for making a political post
It's possible we don't play. It's possible we do play. Anyone saying they know confidently one way or the other plus lying to themselves and lying to you.

I think they said exactly what they meant to say (because they know we will be playing football this fall).
And oh by the way, Starkville Dr's say play football like normal. Including people at the games. We're going to play football guys.

I'm prepared for us to look like absolute dog shit without a true off-season. Trying to get our current roster to grasp the dynamic of completing a forward pass is not an easy task.

I disagree, that's called fraud. If you sell something not knowing if you can fulfill the order that's fraudulent. Strong words I know, but our University doesn't get a pass on that. If they are concerned fans can't attend they need to clearly state that in all of their sales collateral (digital marketing included). Clearly explain what happens if you purchase and you can not use it. I'm on the board of directors for a large summer camp (and we are still in limbo as of this week) and that's exactly what we have to do according to our legal counsel.Quote:

I am confused and maybe fellow Elitedoggers might be able to clear up muddy waters. The NFL is discussing having digital video work to make a stadium crowd appear in an empty stadium during a possible televised game. I have a problem processing how that preparation by the NFL might relate to college football. I wonder if there is a difference between thousands of people touching something as simple as a hand rail at an NFL stadium compared to a college stadium. Also, older people are more at risk compared to the young. Who actually pays the big bucks in the scheme of things? Also I get confused with students on campus in a limited capacity, just to do distance learning on "Zoom"? If this is a method to say the school is open, is the organization truthful?
Awesome!Quote:

However if they took our money and didn't give it back if we don't play, that's another story.Quote:

Nope and it's a shame.Quote:

You are a college coach. Tell us..... can you see college football being played if the nfl is not playing or in an empty stadium?Quote:

Depends on the strain of the hospital systems. If we see 80% of hospital beds or ICU beds filled in a state,Quote:

All of those variables are moving targets right now. Depending on how it plays out we may or may not have football. Praying we get to see the season, even if it a crazy forfeit filled mess. Also hope I get to see my kids play ball. But that doesn't mean I think it'll happen. Most people right now are arguing for what they want to happen rather than just letting the situation dictate how we should act. It's defiant and irresponsible, but it's also human nature.
Ha ha, I was in politics for 6 years. Post like that don't phase me, I literally laugh at them.Quote:
