You betcha, baby!During this crazy, pandemic year, you've got to take a laugh when you can get it.
So if there is no football, what is the impact to you?

To the point of this thread, if there is no college football, there will be zero impact for me.
This is where I am confused. So colleges and unversities are re-opening for classes, but apparently it is "too dangerous" to play sports?
I think Coach Frost made some damn compelling arguments as to why they should play. Well, good thing about football being cancelled is that now I can cancel my Directv and save 118.00+ dollars a month.

we train the same demographic and we aren’t shutting down. Not comparing the Military to college sports but doesn’t that seem ridiculous?

Now you are going to have extra money to ransack the local bars........that money should last at least 3 days....
This is how I know it’s political...We don’t have a dog in the fight. Just taking care of recruits and charging on. No reason why football can’t do the same. You think these kids aren’t going to party etc. ? We shut down the base and the little bastards jumped the fence.
I would have done the same at 18.
Oh sh** when I was 18-24 years old, I was hell in high heels!! I was the type of girl who'd go shot for shot of whiskey with the fellas, steal their girl, and be ready for a street fight at the drop of a hat. I'm 50 now, but I look back on my youth and almost cringe at some of the mind-numbingly, batsh** crazy things I did. You, or anyone reading this, ever had a parent tell you don't hang out or be friends with that person because your parents knew trouble when they saw it? I was that trouble.
At a club one time, a guy was giving one of my friends a hard time. She clearly wasn't into him and told him. He called her a bi*** and said he'd kill her. Looking back, I know he was intoxicated and there's a 99% chance he didn't mean it, but 22 year old intoxicated me took it seriously; I grabbed an empty Bud Light bottle from a nearby table, chucked right at his head, it hit him right in his left eye, I rushed him while he was staggering, and hit him in the face as hard as I could. I then kicked him in the crotch like I was punting a football. Being drunk he went down like someone dropped a sack of potatoes.
Oh yeah, I was something at that age.
Sounds like me a couple of times. Broke a dude's arm because he came after my dog. Was at a party and this guy thought I was married to this other guy (not my hubby) because he saw us dancing a couple of times. He comes at me with a plate of bbq rib bones. I had this brand new outfit on and I was like "Hells no, he's not ruining these clothes." He approached me and went to flip the plate on me. I was ready and reached underneath it and flipped it on him. His pristine white shirt and pants were covered in bbq sauce and I got a standing ovation because he and the skank ho he was with had crashed the party. Definitely one of my finest moments.Oh sh** when I was 18-24 years old, I was hell in high heels!!

My first few years in the Navy I made E-4 three times and I got a check for $4 and then $6. It was supposed to be 45 days restriction and 45 days half a months pay taken times 2 months...but pay personnel messed up and took the entire month. I had to sell my car. My Senior Chief got the CO to lift restriction. Not because he was trying to take it easy on me but because we had a Corpsman Cup Competition and it was at another base. He said Sir...You tasked me with winning this year and this young dummy is on the team.

I used to like to start fights with Sailors....all the time.....Imagine that, huh Chief?My first few years in the Navy I made E-4 three times and I got a check for $4 and then $6. It was supposed to be 45 days restriction and 45 days half a months pay taken times 2 months...but pay personnel messed up and took the entire month. I had to sell my car.

And then, once I sobered up a little, some of my best mates were Petty Officers in our Advanced Avionics class..... 
I wholeheartedly agree. I'm not saying we should play football during a pandemic, but how in the world is re-opening large universities okay when football is not okay?
Hmmmm, let's see here....you've got a population predominantly late teens/early twenties....you've got dorms with two or more people to a room and four or more to a suite.....you've got cafeterias for crying out loud.....you've got classes, student unions, gyms, and libraries -- not to mention the off-campus hang-outs. And the University is going to tell me with a straight face that it's all been 'totally redesigned' for safety??!?
If they want to do that with a 'wink, wink,' that's one thing -- and I suspect it was done, in part, to pave the way for football this fall. But when the Powers-that-Be realized they couldn't pull off CFB this fall, the whole notion of in-person college classes looks ridiculous.

I'm stunned (heavy snark alert). WTF did they think could possibly happen? Kids away from home, some for the first time. I suspect heavy partying, no social distancing or masks, possibly even C-19 parties. In person classes are absolutely a recipe for disaster at this point in time. Or at least to my way of thinking.
I hear you, Uenth! You and I have been pretty lock-step regarding our thoughts on this matter from the beginning.
By the way, you speak Perfect Snark, you'd think it was your first language.
LOL . I'm merely a graduate of that old course: "Snark as your second language".I hear you, Uenth! You and I have been pretty lock-step regarding our thoughts on this matter from the beginning.
