Now this hurts... Big 10 reportedly cancels season
« on: August 10, 2020, 05:30:27 PM »
I live and breath Penn State football during the season. Grew up with it, my family's affiliation with Penn State goes back well over 100 years when my great grandfather was a student there, then my grandfather, then my father...

Went to many, many football games there.

I hope the Big 12 doesn’t, I think Iowa and Nebraska would play in the Big 12 for one season.

Doesn’t bother me a bit. After the end of last year’s season I’m not ever worried about the problems the NHRA is having. I have plenty to do with my time.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Well,  I figure we'll be knee deep in the coming civil war so I wouldn't be able to enjoy  proper football anyway...


Seriously,  this *expletive deleted*ing blows, it's the one thing I look forward to on TV all year.  I actually pay for sling Sept-Jan for NCAAF.

Can't say I care much about sports ball games either. 

However it certainly seems like something you were looking forward to Mike, sucks to be disappointed.  =|  Hopefully they can work something out for the season after if COVID is still an ongoing issue by then.

Nah. Unlike most people, I can multitask...

Pet my dog with one hand, listen to the game on TV and cast aspersions at you wankers all at the same time!  :rofl:

I don't want to lose Big 12 College Football. (note this is not the Big 10). I haven't been to a concert (or live show) since February, I'm used to going at least every other week to a concert or live music. It's killing me not to enjoy Saturday night listening to a live band. College football is something I look forward to every year, last weekend in August through the first week of January. I try to limit myself to watching one game on Saturday, usually Iowa State Cyclones (Big 12), but if that game isn't broadcasted or a bye week, I normally watch Iowa Hawkeyes (Big 10). I don't need any more disappointments this year, November is going to bad enough with Biden/Harris probably being elected. I saw at least 100,000 acres of corn flattened yesterday by the dechero, trust me you don't want to out in the countryside with 106 mph winds. How my work car wasn't destroyed or the farm house I sheltered in is still standing, I don't know. Right now they are estimating over 10 million acres of crops were destroyed, many of those farmers are College football fans, I hope we have some football this fall.
