Kirk Herbstreit - 'There will be no college football or NFL this fall'

[cawacko]

1) with no football people will go ape sh*t

2) if we reach a point where they have to cancel football we will have far bigger problems in our country





Kirk Herbstreit doesn't believe college football or the NFL will be played in 2020


The year is already off to a terrible start in many aspects but it may go down as the worst year in football history if Kirk Herbstreit is accurate.

We are all currently being affected in some aspect following the outbreak of the coronavirus and hoping to return to normal as soon as possible but the way the ESPN college football analyst sees it, this fall may be much the same.

In fact, Herbstreit recently shared his firm belief that there will be no college football or NFL played this fall.

“I’ll be shocked if we have NFL football this fall, if we have college football. I’ll be so surprised if that happens,” Herbstreit recently said according to TMZ Sports.

The ESPN analyst further explained his opinion is based on the fact we likely won’t have a vaccine for the coronavirus for some time. When you take that into consideration, it may be tough for football to continue until that time arrives.

“Just because from what I understand, people that I listen to, you’re 12 to 18 months from a vaccine,” Herbstreit continued. “I don’t know how you let these guys go into locker rooms and let stadiums be filled up and how you can play ball. I just don’t know how you can do it with the optics of it.”

Who’s ready to fast forward to 2021 already?

Meh, I only care about NCAA basketball. I've been fucked out of my suite 16 and elite 8 trip to Beihl street.
I was fucked out of SDSU's historic run. I was left with NC State hanging on the bubble. I was left with
UNC escaping the humiliation of watching it all on TV for once. I was fucked out of my prepaid trip to my next Ironman.

Time for everyone else to get fucked over too.

Will the seniors get another year?

A vaccine is not required.
Might skip preseason but i doubt it stops the season.

I suspect Kirk Herbstreit is correct that there will be no college or professional football games played this year.

I detest the thought of it...but I think that is the way this year will go.

We are all fucked.

Football is fixed.

One of my favorite tweets I saw, "No one tell Clay Helton when shelter-in-place restrictions are removed". Haha.

We should be in the middle of March Madness right now. Life sucks without sports. People can survive the summer without baseball but if football is threatened in any way, look out...

Meh, it would definitely suck but it’s too early to write it off.

March Madness is my favorite time of year. This sucks.

It's just Herbstreit's opinion of course and it only really makes news because of his stature within college football. But even just the thought of it gives me the hebbe jeebies. Haha.

One doesn't even have to be a huge (college) basketball fan to enjoy March Madness. Such a bummer.
