College football 2020 offseason thread

I missed all the posts that have appeared throughout the years complaining about Les Miles. I am glad to see they will return.

 

It was before Les, but one of my buddies put this one up a couple of days ago:

"UAB had more wins from 2015-17 than Kansas did. UAB didn't play football in 2015 and 2016."

 

I read this and, being a strange person, immediately thought in a Neil Diamond voice "turn on your hot mic!"

 

Then there's this:

Orgeron: 'Most' of his team has contracted virus

"Most of the team" has gotten COVID per Orgeron. Yet somehow article says they are playing in a week or so. How's that possible?

 

I think that he means most of them have had it. That begs the question of stats and when, etc.

Of course, the SEC has COVID well in hand and will be testing to be certain that everything is fine. No worries.

 

What is it about San Diego teams and Carson?
SDSU To Play 2021 Football Games in Carson - Times of San Diego

 

So Texas Tech has had 75 positives? Seems rather reckless.

 

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

I guess I'll toss this in here. I figure it will get seen.

Copped from a friend's post, but he's the type who gets the facts straight.


"College Basketball decision day is tomorrow.

The NCAA will (hopefully) finalize the parameters for the 2020-21 college basketball season tomorrow. Here is the current thinking of how it will go. Some or all of this will surely change as it is debated.

• Season start date - November 21 (or 11/23 or 11/25)

• Minimum number of games played to be considered for the NCAA Tournament - 13 (currently 25) . For schools choosing to play the minimum, all 13 games must be against Division I competition.

• Maximum number of games allowed - 26 (currently 31); 28 if playing in a Multi-Team Event (tournament). Another report set the proposed maximum at 24 or 25 games.

• Schools must play a minimum of 4 non-conference games.

• Conferences will be given flexibility to name their regular season champion as the recipient of their automatic bid. Freeing conferences from the expense of staging a conference tournament, if desired.

• The NCAA Tournament structure and timeline will remain the same - 68 teams, 14 sites beginning in Mid-March.

• Testing will be required 3x a week."

 

It's only D3 but my son and 13 of his 25 soccer teammates have all tested positive in the past two weeks. Most were asymptomatic -- two kids have a fever and a cough -- but it spreads fast, especially in these settings where the student-athletes spend so much damn time around each other.
