And Miami out of the Sun Bowl. ACC took a hit today

All Covid Conference

Seems like every bowl game with an ACC team in it has contracted the cooties.

Don't jinx Louisville. We're 28 hours from kickoff and so far so good.

Ooo, a better one: Always Catching Covid.

And: Abruptly Canceling Contests.

Oops, wrong sport.

Ohio St bowl cancelled tomorrow

They cancelled the Rose Bowl!? I heard they cancelled a bball game.

You are correct, sorry. Lot of cancellations flying around and sports guys reporting both hoops and football stuff.

What are the chances that someone is going to call our teams to play?

Marshall vs. Fresno in the Quest for TV Money Peach Bowl. Presented by Fortnight.

I'm there for it.

The best part is where it becomes the national championship game by default.

Alabama, Georgia and Michigan cancelled the press from practices today.

Hiding missing covid players? Hm..

I take back what I said back after the first Hope video, Cincy winning the title in a year the Dawgs have a great shot because everyone has Covid would be the most Georgia thing ever.

So what happens if Georgia, and, for example, Alabama and Cincinnati all get the Rona?

Does Michigan win by default, or do we try to get one other team healthy for a national title game?

Yes.

Since there is clearly a nonzero chance of omi impacting the cfp, the playoffs will be following the these completely arbitrary rules.

If one team can't play, the other advances. If both teams in a semifinal game can't play, the other game will be for the title.

No idea what they will do if all four teams can't play.

Georgia has had some cases including JT Daniels, which I'm guessing makes Bennett the starter no matter what. I believe Bama has coaches in the protocol but no players.

Also, because everyone, everywhere is dumb. Evidently real human beings are convinced the CDC just shortened the Covid quarantine recommendations to benefit UGA, since you know, UGA and the CDC share Georgia addresses.

Georgia and Hope go to therapy

UCLA canceled 4 hours before kick yesterday. NCSU not happy about it.

Lots of back and forth. Rumors of the equipment managers cleaning out the locker room already before the cancellation was announced, and a lot of other chatter.

All the rumors and accusations sound familiar after that happened to the UT v Memphis basketball game in Nashville.

Nah. I can't possibly imagine Chip Kelly doing something not on the up and up.

Ags looking damn responsible for canceling 8 days out! Bowl found a replacement and everything! But not before the spirit of the 12th Man was impugned.

A thing I literally heard tonight:

"The Cheez-It Bowl is brought to you by........... Cheez-It"

Bowl season, amazing.

I'm going to be stewing for awhile. I'm assuming SEC Shorts is going to love this.

And the fake injury thing is such a joke, they have to put some kind of rule in place to stop it. Teams that run really fast to keep a team on their back foot are negated by random dudes just faking cramps every third play.

TN shouldn't have let it be close enough to go to overtime. We had horrible secondary play and Hooker just was off enough tonight we probably left a couple of TD's on the field. But that call is flat BS.

It was a very exciting game. Purdue was down some good players but played a hell of a game. Just hate to see this ref crap make it controversial.

Oh well. Still a much better season than I expected out of this team, and they're definitely fun to watch.

*I'll remind you of another touchdown taken away from the Vols this year in the Mustard Bowl.

*****Deep Breath*******

OK, out of my system. Maybe.

Or you know... a kicker could have won it in regulation.

Going to be a lot of close things in an OT game that could have turned it either way. I only watched the last 5 minutes, but I saw like 35 points scored. Was nuts.

That's a 57 yarder. We don't have that kind of kicker. I told my wife when he lined up we had about a 30% chance on that one. We were closer on the prior two deep balls in that series. One of which Hooker overthrew a wide open guy, and the other one where Velus Jones was pulled from behind so much that his jersey was stretched out about a foot but no call.

Tennessee had guys behind them all day. They had guys wide open in the middle of the field on us. DB play was not good on either side.

I think I said about that. UT had plenty of chances. Shouldn't have been within a score. Doesn't change that horrible call at the most important part of a game. How do you make that kind of call at that time? You know if you screw up, you're going to be dragged for years. (This same crew several years ago was suspended by the ACC for two games for bad calls).

Until the sporting world pays refs well, we will continue getting crappy refereeing. The damn NFL uses part-timers who have entire careers outside of the NFL.

f*ck it's those guys? The ones that botched the Duke v Miami lateral final play mess? Those assholes are the ones that screwed Louisville at Wake this season.

Exactly them.

Cincy has played really, really well!

And yet.

Well these games have sucked.

Yep

It's in keeping with the theme.

This is very funny, at least.

The state of college football in a nutshell:

After tonight, teams from outside the Southeast are 3-12 in CFP semifinals.

They're just better at football down there. It's not a media creation.
