    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 it's more that there is no one who can actually make that call this far out with 100% certainty.

    Sometimes there are higher powers that make that call. In cases like what we are dealing with now.

    agreed ... but if planning isn't started now then nothing will happen for sure ... it's easier to cancel on short notice but impossible to start on short notice
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    Either result is possible, and granted we still don't have perfect information, but us not playing would require us finding out something new about the virus that makes it much more dangerous than it is now, or us just overreacting.

    I think the smart bet as of now is that we will play, although there might be disruptions if the summer really slows down the spread and then we get a big spike when it gets cooler. Hopefully we will continue to work though it over the summer and whatever spike comes will be manageable.

    My point is simple. Why does the University say "we can't wait to see you (at David Wade) this fall, instead of "we hope to see you"?

    I think they said exactly what they meant to say (because they know we will be playing football this fall).

    It's more like they are trying to sell you tickets. They don't know yet but they have to plan like we are. They won't make that call anyway.

    They are trying to sell a product in a world of uncertainty.... games be still be cancelled, rescheuled, moved, played without fans, or who knows what else. At worst they have to refund the tickets. better than not selling them to start with...

    In other words, this is carrying on with giving people hope we can go back to normal.. because yes it's too far out to make a decision truthfully.

    All in the message. Buyer psychology. Have to sound confident not passive to the consumer. but again they did say we can't wait to see you.. which implies...some day we will.. not exactly when this fall.

    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.
