If I learned anything from Wisconsin earlier this year, number of positive cases doesn’t mean ****. They were well within the Covid capacity for the strict big 10 rules and cancelled anyway.

with thatsaid, sounds like k state much more likely to play
B1g rules are different, allowing you to game the system.

Big difference between how the Big 10 & Big 12 handle things. Big 12 explicitly states that if you meet the minimums (including walk-ons) and choose not to play, you forfeit. Big 10 minimums are for scholarship players and they leave it up to the teams to decide if they can play without penalties for choosing not to.

Heard that test results came back better than expected and game will proceed as planned (unless Friday testing hits them hard).
Yup, I was told that their total positives within their team dropped by more than half. Looks like the game is going to be played barring a ton of positives come flying in. K-State's going to be down a lot of guys though.

It's my way of throwing shade on not teaching cursive in school anymore. I find the standard up & down print to be painfully boring. The nuns at Bishop Heelan would have surely disapproved as well. Glad we cleared that up.

I will date myself here, but I was reffing varsity bb games at Heelen in the late 80's, and they had the officials dress in one of the rooms the nuns used. We were in the middle of dressing when two walked in, and the first one stopped and said, "Oh my!", pivoted and exited. Thankfully we already had our black tights on so weren't standing there in tighty whiteys!

That would be a game to put a Howard Brown in at running back.

did you see that long run he had in his video? Dude can run, regardless of his size. Can you imagine hitting him with a full head of steam? Pitty the CB or undersized safety!

This isn't the Big 10 where they have to sit out for 21 days.

And the second one stood there and admired the view?
