[farmdogvol]

Just announced, #2 WR, starting CB and starting tackle not playing in bowl game for Purdue. Things are looking better all the time. GBO.

I'll never understand this line of thinking. Beating someone that's nowhere near their best means exactly what? If it's just a win hell let's move to the MAC. We can get all kinds there

Sounds good, but this is also a reason to cancel in their eyes. "Covid protocol" gets you out of everything

Me - "No thanks, honey. I can't go to your parents this weekend. Covid protocols"

This has getting cancelled for “Covid” protocols in Purdue’s program written all over it. You can’t convince me that Texas am didn’t run from their game and I could see Purdue doing the same with all these opt outs/missing players. Hopefully the game happens but the more players they announce are going to be missing the more I worry the game will get cancelled

I'm very concerned that the game won't happen, because of all this covid nonsense. I wish it was scheduled for today. Every day between now and kickoff makes it less likely that it will be played. Keeping my fingers crossed.

With Texas A&M not playin in their bowl look for a lot of teams to follow suit. In my opinion one more team cancels and it’ll be like dominoes.

I feel good about UT already in Nashville. Is Purdue there yet? I haven't heard

I used that on washing the dishes last night.

Send the Vols to the Hawai'i Bowl as replacement for UH.

IMO, these mid & lower tier bowl games are truly becoming just exhibition games, w/ folks opting out.

But, we've been operating with one hand behind our back all year b/c of how many players left...we were just really fortunate that we had a coach and a QB/team who performed above expectations...so, I'll take the win any way it comes to us, if it works out like that.

Exactly why I didn't even consider looking for tickets. Guess you could always just make it a long get away trip or vacation, but at the prices the MCB was asking of the UT fan base....no thanks.

Remember that time when we thought, oh look their backup QB is playing, easy win.

 

[SaintLouisVol]

If they want to cancel it, I imagine they need to do it pretty quickly. With the game being fairly early in the day Thursday, there'll be folks traveling maybe even as early as today and certainly tomorrow and Wednesday.

That hasn’t mattered with the other bowls, Memphis was the day before. Maybe it’s intentional hoping the fans will at least come to their city and spend money.

Tiger High would chicken out just like they did in basketball . . .

GBO

It means you beat them.

It's not just A&M. Several other teams have already opted out: Miami, Boston College, Virginia...

 

[jeff1vol]

Does anyone know WHY these players are out? Opt out or Covid??

Memphis BB canceled a couple hours before tipoff.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

Not going to cheer for the other teams players to get Covid. I'd much rather have 2 healthy teams and we still win the game.

They’re not covering their noses on purpose so that they’ll get sick and not have to play.

It’s a win, no one is going to look back at our record and see how many players were out those games, they’ll only look at wins and losses.

No one worried about it while they were beating us. Just wta of whoever shows up to play
