    What did Davarius Daniels ever do that got him suspended? He’s on Malik Zaire’s new video cast but I didn’t watch the whole thing.

    Got it. I forgot that was the probably the tutoring thing. It’s just crazy that it was enough that he never got a look at the NFL even after some decent CFL seasons.

    Watching now. We were DEEP into hoops at that time. Had 4 season tickets and traveled. Around this time we learned Conte Forum is an awful basketball venue.

    he has done pretty good in the cfl. I agree, thought for sure he would get a look in the nfl. Although the talent at the wr position flocking in the nfl every year is pretty insane nowadays.

    Have a 7 month old golden and got her right around the same age (8 weeks?).

    Let me know if you have any questions. They look adorable as tiny puppies but they’re absolute land sharks with teething. It gets a lot better as they age, but they’re huge by the time it happens. Molly is already 55 lbs.

    I'm TMB dead but I'm not afraid to rise from the dead like a phoenix and e-murder folks like it's 2013.

    Love you.

    Probably because you're not a fully invested ND mod like me. I've become the new PATND3.

    His dad was on the podcast with Eric Hansen, it’s a really good listen. Him talking about making calls from the hospital is crazy.

    So how many of you think we are actually going to have a college football season, and if we do, how many games do you anticipate ND plays?

    I'm still thinking there's no way they play. I hope I am wrong.

    Its sad because Indiana has done a pretty good job handling Covid but looking at other states I can't see how ND travels out of state or lets other states in. Would you feel safe sending a team to Georgia the way things are going?

    Hope I'm wrong too but I agree.

    they're going to do literally everything possible, but people keep being stupid and cases keep going up. ND is going to be (apparently) super strict with masks, social distancing, travel to and from campus so we'll see.

    I'm definitely expecting the games to be played. Too much money involved. Dates and venues may shift and the stands will probably be somewhere between 0% and 25% full but the games will be played.

    Edit: bowl games are another story... I bet a lot of mid-low tier bowls cancel the games pretty soon and many of them could actually go under for good.

    the lack of recruiting expenses does work in their favor though but yeah, i see a bunch of coaches surviving a year they usually wouldnt

    Prediction...
    - All games played, and at least *somewhat* on time

    - No more than 15k in attendance at any game, at least through October

    All games played? Now that's optimism. I am very skeptical localities are going to allow all games to be played, let alone schools are going to be able to manage the inevitable outbreaks that will arise among the players. Sequestering a professional soccer squad for an abbreviated season is far easier than an 85 man roster of college kids attending school during the week while playing over the weekend.

    Guess we will see.

    looking at Covid numbers, I would say if things continue or get worse @Ga Tech is off and the university might not feel safe bringing in people from Arkansas, even with testing. Luckily they don't travel to states where numbers are bad.

    Not having fans would suck but it could be an economic boom for bars and restaurants.

    I've got family in Arkansas. Every time going there as a kid I was amazed at the level of black hillbilly. It was creepy how backwoods these people were.

    bertwing is Blytheville an exception or the norm of Arkansas?

    I just assume everyone in Arkansas is some version of what was on HBO documentary Banging in Little Rock

    (I'm sure there is some form of redneck/hick gangbangers that wasn't featured on the doc)

    Think there is too much money on the line for ncaa not to try to play. If they dont I think that may start the decline of the whole thing. College sports will be on the way out and minor leagues for nfl and nba will replace

    15 COVID cases at Texas today. 6 at Baylor. Univ. Of Houston has also already shutdown summer practice. Fauci also seems skeptical.

    Not a great start to the season. I don't see how they make this happen in time for the fall. Absent rigorous testing protocols and effective means of quarantine, it's going to be a mess. Heck, just the costs just to enable teams to stay healthy enough to play will be too much for many schools to manage.
