Have a friend in icu on a vent with Covid. Great man, father, and grandfather and huge vol fan. Next 48 hours are crucial. Wife had it and didn’t need hospitalization. Don’t understand why it hits some people harder. Prayers for him appreciated.

The Vols are playing football this fall. Don't know what the season will look like, but I will be seeing Orange and White running through the T on my TV.

I give it a 50/50 shot at best in the spring.

Yeah it will probably be a short fall season followed by a spring season where NFL caliber players won't participate.

I dont think any games happen in the fall

There will be football in the fall..fans will be limited but there is wayyyyy too much money on the line for these colleges

Doubt they would have come close to stopping that offense.

That Nebraska team was the most dominate team ever. Kinda short sighted to write them off so easily. They destroyed everybody in ridiculous fashion in every way. They statistically and comparing them with their era, are the greatest team ever. Easily.

I mean, they did destroy a pretty potent offense for its day in Florida and a couple years later embarassed a senior Peyton Manning who was about the closest thing ever to 2019 Joe Burrow.

It would only be a mismatch because of the era's and advanced scheme LSU played. None of the Nebraska coaches would have an idea of how to stop that because they had never seen anything like it.

I think it would be high scoring and close though regardless, because you still see how modern teams struggle against the triple option. Georgia Tech would give Clemson fits. This LSU defense wasn't that dominate. Nebraska would've run it down their throat.

Ten stayed with Nebraska a little while because they sold out to defend the option and put all 11 within 5 yards of the scrimmage. Then Nebraska started floating the slow footed TE 10 yards down field he would be wide open. Even Osborne remarked during halftime that Tn. was successful in that scheme for a little while but Nebraska adjusted later in the 2nd Qtr. Nebraska with Scott Frost and that option executed so well that no one could stop them very long.

And the players who want to make it to the league. They haven't stopped training even when this thing was way more unknown.

If he can hold onto the ball I would love to see him back at RB.

My man. It’s been lonely on this hill.

My guess is it would be restaurant style. Entering, leaving, and anywhere out of your seat it is required. Sit down and you can take it down. After all, we'd be sitting staggered, face to back, and with a row or 2 of separation. I'd think this would be enough to not require a mask while sitting at your seat. Jmo.

All games at night would suck because no guarantee your team is televised. Bama, Clemson, OSU, etc would take up every channel each Saturday and everyone else would be SCREWED. Would be terrible.

That’s how Bristol is doing it next week. Mask required on entry and anywhere in places like concourse. Can remove it when you’re at your seat.

once took a Swede & Columbian to see a game. Spent first half explaining soccer versus football. we drank a lot.

As for the "Shamburger + Thompson not giving up a TD all season when they were both on the field stat"...not just that...neither was credited for allowing a single passing TD all season...0 combined.

Fwiw, Alontae allowed 3 and Burrell 2.

 

[tn88volfan]

1. Worley
2. Guarantano
3. Simms
4. Dormady

Lsu would have gotten about 8 possessions against 1995 Nebraska. They curb stomped a similar team that year in Fla. No way in hell LSU hangs with Them for 4 quarters

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and prayers. My father in law passed away about 45 minutes ago...I am just glad my wife got down there in time to be with him and her family before he passed. I am headed down there in the morning.

My mothers last words to me are the greatest comfort..."There’s a brighter day..everything is gonna be alright"

Sorry to hear about your Father-in-law. My prayers are with you and your family.

No FB this season.

What is interesting in that article is it said there was consensus among ADs that if students are not on campus, there will be NO football, because they couldn't ask players to come if all other students were told not to for health purposes.

I had previously heard from the scientific view that the best/most likely way to have football is if other students were NOT on campus, thus the players would be more isolated. Having 10k other students on campus would be WORSE for the players.

Lord, we are not going to have football for a completely inaccurate reason, aren't we?

I remember hearing John Henderson called out Clausen at halftime, but never heard anything other than that.

Shoulda called himself and Haynesworth out for not being able to handle a backup QB doing draws.

Stanford just dropped 11 varsity sports.

The left coast is weak minded and has no gumption.
