August is coming

Post by RiverguyVT »

I just got plane tickets, hotel, and game tickets for the BC game

Never been to a game there before.

Salute the Marines
Soon we'll have planes that fly 22000 mph

Guys... I can't tell you how jazzed I am for the opener.
I just hope I'm as jazzed after the game. Ha!

What do you make of this upcoming team? On the one hand, we can't be any worse than we were last year, can we?

It is easy for me to get overly optimistic preseason. Fuente seems to have a calm confidence going into the season that I didn't see in past seasons.

Relatively cupcake schedule outside of Notre Dame. Should win 8-9 games.

<--- Still says there will not be a football season.

I'm assuming that we have to make a show of it in order to get our ESPN $$$. But there's basically no chance that college football is played the whole season.

I've said it before - if we start playing the season, then somewhere, some high-profile player is going to die of Covid and that's all she wrote.

I mean, for crying out loud, in the NBA, where it should be easy to keep your players in a bubble, they are getting Covid from booty calls. If the NBA can't manage to stay in a bubble with players getting paid millions of dollars, there's no way it's going to work for bigger rosters of college students.

Did I miss something where someone in the NBA bubble got COVID?
