Nebraska football is the drunk guy, at the end of the bar, who rambles on and on and on about how great his high school football team was 30 years ago.

Interesting thoughts! Just like masks, it will be businesses setting the standards. Many saw mask mandates as government overreach, but when WalMart, Kohl’s, et al saw the economic benefits of masks, the populace fell into line. Employers will require vaccination as a condition of employment...

You’re right. No vaccine is 100% reliable, but, they do provide some measure of herd immunity. That’s all we can hope for in this situation. Those who choose not to be vaccinated must be prepared to face some social and economic barriers. It’s their choice.

There is a vaccine for H1N1. Google it. COVID-19 is not the influenza virus. It’s a coronavirus. Do some real research.

I haven’t noticed pig piles of 300+ pound linemen at Wal-Mart or Home Depot.

“That shotgun approach risks the economy, culture, education, health, and security of the vast majority of Americans who won't get sick or die.“ The vast majority of Americans will not die. However, I wouldn’t be so quick to say that the majority will not get sick. Like Mike Osterholm has said...

How? For whom?

Even a spring season is predicated on a safe, effective vaccine being widely available. If you think testing has been a clown show, just wait for the vaccine rollout. There’s talk of a weighted lottery determining one’s chances of obtaining the vaccine. There simply won’t be 300+ million doses...

“It’s a cookbook!!”

Dowling, not Downing ... 😡 spellcheck.

That’s interesting. Downing Catholic (Des Moines) is a traditional 4A football powerhouse. Their baseball team was ranked #1 in 4A IHSAA Summer baseball. They had to cancel the remainder of their season when an active starter became infected.

This is a novel virus. Novel meaning new/original. Nobody sees this recent uptick as a second wave; we’re still in the first wave. Pay attention to our own Dr. Michael Osterholm at CIDRAP ... the pandemic has become a forest fire looking for dead wood. The reopening of...

I hope you’re right.

You’re right. You’ve got 8-10 300+ lb. linemen in close contact for 90 minutes. Breathing heavily in one pig pile after another. What are people thinking?

I think we’ll get about 2-3 weeks into the season before the whole enchilada falls apart.

I think scheduling is going to be so screwed up this year. We will see a number of cancelled games due to unexpected CV flare-ups. I’m betting that we won’t see the FBS playoffs.

If you think the outbreaks on some football teams are worrisome, just wait till the students return to campus. I suspect that we’ll see some campuses closing long before Thanksgiving break. Do you honestly think they’re just going to isolate only the infected players. Teams will be quarantined...

No college football in 2020. Texas, Houston, and now Iowa State have positive cases in their programs. With the opening up of our communities and states, it’s only going to become more problematic. No amount of testing or screening is going to help college football .. the general population YES...

I hope they do this for every position group ... OL, DL, LB, QB, TE, WR, P, K etc.etc.

Adding SKI-U-MAH as a quick cheer on kick-offs is OK, but not a great way to utilize what I believe to be one of the best (potential) cheers in college sports. Iowa has four side to their stadium and so, each side takes a letter ... I ... O ... W ... A We have three sides to our stadium...
