    Default Big Ten Football bends the knee

    According to Jeff Potrykus from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, while the announcement timing hasn’t been, that the Big Ten is returning has been confirmed, with it being an eight-game schedule to be played in a nine-week timeframe.

    Because, science lol.

    Or maybe because Trump got onto them about not playing. Or maybe because they didn’t see body bags piled outside of other Power 5 stadiums, many teams of which have already played 2 games.

    Don't watch football. Go outside and throw a football instead. For our resident "medical expert", a tee-ball is best.

    Between the shoe companies and the fanbase is an awkwsrd place to be. Stupid decision in the first place.

    They just didn’t want to miss out on the TV payday

    Time will tell if it is the right or wrong decision, hard to believe they can keep hundred traveling college kids in a tight enough bubble to prevent problems, LSU certainly couldn’t

    Cowardly decision.

    Illogical decision. Play one game. Everything ok? Play another. Etc. The chicken shits waited till the other conferences started and once they saw ‘nothing much COVID wise’ was going on, then they started thinking about lost revenue.

    Next step, fill the stadiums.

    The most any team has played is one game, and the “nothing much COVID wise” is yet to be determined

    You got be living under a rock, “fill the stadiums,” we got close to 200,000 dead in seven months via a virus spread by social contact and you want hundred thousand people sitting shoulder to shoulder?

    Enough with the fearmongering. Get out and live your life. Once you show fear, a government's gotcha. Fear, worry, anger and anxiety
    are horrible for your immune system, too. Knock off the daily death roll calls. Get out and be peaceful and happy.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Someone is going to take the first step. Not fill it necessarily, but you get the idea.
