Just heard the Big10 has announced Conference-only competition.

Not announced but expected.

Just heard the Big10 has announced Conference-only competition.

This will have ripple effects. I could see the SEC doing some home and home scheduling to add additional games.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

I dont expect football until August of 21 at the earliest. I also have my doubts on whether MLB actually plays this summer as well.

Yeah, baseball not looking good at all.

ESPN reporting B10 is likely to play conference only this fall.

[titansvolsfaninga]

I already have planned my fall around not being able to attend a game. If no football this fall became a reality, this is a good chance to please the wives and girlfriends with fall activities that’ll last a good 10 years.

so are you alternating Saturday's with the wife and girlfriend? To spice things up, you should schedule them both on the same Saturday.

SEC only! Let's go!

I'll take that over no football anyday. If Covid stays at bay through the fall, maybe expand the playoff field to get that natty.

SEC only! Let's go!

Still doubt it happens

I worded that poorly. Yikes.

Also, I would cancel bowl games and do a 16 team playoff or something along those lines.

 

[Pepe]

that what?

I think it's something like cooties

Now I'm all for this idea if it gets an expanded playoffs. Less bowl games more playoffs please

 

[Pepe]

I think, organically, thousands won’t come anyway. They’ll take a wait and see approach. Just open it up, require masks upon entry at least for a little while, and let people, by their own volition, go or stay home. That’s not so hard.

We could have football if we only had inorganic fans

 

[bignewt]

Everybody goes conference only Notre Dame be like

LMAO

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.

Peyton had no business playing in that game with his messed up knee. Imo, the blackest marks on the careers of Fulmer and Cutcliffe

Well folks, not gonna get to test that vaccine for y'all. Tested positive Tuesday. Fever and sniffles is all I've got to report so far. Went for a two mile run this morning.

Dammit, you just had to get sick.

In all seriousness, prayers.

 

[Pepe]

Where did I say Peyton was equal to Joe Burrow? He is the closest thing, as far as a college QB capable of running a pro type of offense and make pro level reads yes.

Yes Joe can run, that is a good point, but still, its not like those florida tennessee offenses wouldn't do **** in today's game. You think 95 florida and 97 Tennessee would get killed by 2019, Texas, Florida and Auburn, who took LSU to the wire?

You can't honestly think that modern football is that far ahead of football in the mid-90's.

That Oklahoma team that LSU destroyed would go back and compete against 95 Nebraska.

By your logic, not even the 2001 Miami team would have a chance because the modern offense is too profound. Give either Miami or Nebraska the time to prepare for it and they could probably handle themselves, especially since the LSU defense aren't world beaters.

Also, Nebraska probably could have put 80 on them if they didnt let up. Were close to 70, but got tripped up at the goaline.

Another pointless comparison of eras

Well, Clemson and Ohio State are going undefeated.
