Why is this a dark day? Isn’t it great news that testing has improved in a month? What we’ve learned is so much as to make this big of a difference in a month?
In 1917 Rutgers went 7-1-1 and in 1918 we were 5-2 including several games against military teams. If my recollection serves, military bases were the focal points of the Spanish flu pandemic. No testing, no cure, no vaccines and no understanding that viruses existed then, yet football in 2020 is worse?
ok but again the data shows it’s safe to play. That‘s good, no? Or are you rooting againstgood, positive data?
Christine Brennen is the Steve Politi of Karens
Says the guy with > 35K political posts here. He misses the CE Board but won’t admit it.
I agree with everything you've said other than describing her as a "journalist." There aren't any in mainstream media today . They are democrat propagandists , not journalists.
This is what happens when you let women and nerds write about sports
Did you read the post I responded to? Guess not but to put it simply, college football hasn't shown it's immune to the virus and there are teams who couldn't play due to outbreaks. Got it now?
That wasn't the question. Now, ask the affected teams, many more than I mentioned. if it's a "so what?"
This is a crapshoot that hopefully will turn out ok.
Let's not forget a lot of "so what" from the beginning has put everyone in this situation today.
Big Ten’s plan is 200x better then the other conferences.
big ten is testing DAILY with rapid testing, this is a game changer
Yeah? No shit?!? College players from the same team tested positive??? Holy shit.
I can't believe this happened!
Surely it won't happen again.
Ya know...I post on a rock and roll board....but it's only rock and roll.
Typical childish response when you have nothing worthwhile to say.
Strange how many people must die before you take this thing seriously.
And BTW me and my wife have the whole house....not just the basement. We just worry when we have to go out there where there are the occasional a-holes who think they're being put upon by being told to wear a mask.
As my uncle so wisely said...."My generation was asked to storm the beaches of Normandy and so many Pacific islands. This bunch doesn't seem to respond well to being asked to wear a mask and sit on their couch."
If the B1G made a mistake it will be found out.
They are supposedly basing their decision on the medical evidence currently available .
If they are bowing down to any pressure not based on science then this writer is right in sounding off.
But that won't be known until play begins and with a month to set up health safety measures , as it stands the ones bemoaning the move are acting like chicken littles.
Those discounting the games being rescheduled as not relevant are acting like the too blind to see crowd that discounts anything and everything that goes contrary to their desires
Those games must be taken into account, but used as proof that if anything looks a little off, safety will come first and game will not be played.
I was fine with the B1G saying games wouldn't be played because of safety concerns .
I'm fine with the reversal using the medical findings they reticently review that made the B1G open the season again for conference play.
As for media types, they have a right to their opinion as I have a right to reject it now and see if I'm right or wrong doing that by what happens after play starts .
By the end of season we'll all know.

Was he gulping Oxi when he was slammin others?
Lets make politics the issue when you don't like what a journalist wrote
Discount all achievements because we don't like her column today and need to make what she wrote a political statement instead of a opinion about a sports related matter.
Lets look at her resume

After graduating, she began working for the Miami Herald, becoming the Herald's first female sports reporter in 1981

But believe if going to defend or attack someone's job performance should try to learn about that person before making an accusation.
Many here probably know about Christine Brenner as a journalist, I didn't and want o share my findings after seeing her put in the propagandist category
We played in both 1957 and 1968,the other big flu epidemics.Could it be because neither Ike nor LBJ were running for re-election?
I gave up reading newspaper/ESPN sports writers a long time ago
