    These outmanned bush league matchups are unwatchable

    Sending these kids out short handed to get pummeled against teams with all their players is wrong. TV contract or not it?s time to call a spade a spade. Shut it down until things get back right and the stands are full. A lot of people are hurting no reason these greedy networks shouldn?t be too.

    Maybe they took a team vote. Maybe these guys have been practicing hard all season and it is wrong to keep the 49 who wants to play from playing. It's not about you or me. It's about 49 guys who want to play football.

    I can see the warrior side of it too but sometimes you have to protect youngsters from their selves. It?s not just us I?m talking about , it?s the whole dynamic going on. The talent drop off is too much and just looks like punishment IMO

    Speaking of greed in general, can't eat but one damn steak at a time even if you have two hands

    I don't think we'll be seeing a wholesale slaughter of players tonight, or at least I hope not. It's not like we're sending kids out that have never played football before. They wouldn't be on the team if they weren't pretty good in high school. A casual observer probably won't be able to tell this game apart from any regular game this year. All games this season are screwed up.

    Maybe have the other team only dress out as many as the opponent?

    I suppose that might be a reasonable option this season, but it reminds me of the team mom yelling "That's 5", meaning the tee ball team had maxed out runs for the inning.

    Our athletic programs depend on those Freddy networks.

    I believe that's the issue. ESPN, CBS, and ABC shouldn't be the ones driving university operation. In a situation like the pandemic, it's a conflict of interest and potentially dangerous to the players.

    It's also why we will never be successful long term in college football. Because the money is driven by how many people watch. And people watch the blue bloods. And that pays the bills of the universities when the big market teams win. And round and round it goes. The more money you have and people you have in college football, the more you matter and will have people put back into you.

    Hindsight the dogs tonight changed m mind for me. If not for this game I would have thought this was a hollowed out team barely hanging on. When in truth as a team, we are rising like a Phoenix from the ashes

    Just an FYI, but the next time you want to opt out and be a huge ******, the correct phrase is Busch League. Spelling matters.
