Just thinking the delay of 8 or 9 months would have an effect. I could be totally wrong. What do I have to base this on? Nothing at all. Just wondering about the delay. Weather would be better for sure.
If the alternative is to play with no fans in the stadium, they might be better off waiting to play until spring. The revenue from home football games is so important. A season without ticket revenue would be devastating. And many programs have fixed infrastructure costs that won’t go away if the season is not played.
Got this earlier this morning. Would be great news if it would work on all patients across the board.Cataholic wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 10:47 amIf the alternative is to play with no fans in the stadium, they might be better off waiting to play until spring.

Our only hope for fall football might be that a vaccine is developed before then.
Obviously I'm not educated on this specific drug combo you cited. But I think you bring up something that gets lost in all this mess. I get that fear sells. I understand that CNN and Fox and other news outlets insist on a 24-7 "death toll" ticker on their channels. It'd be amazing if they did that all of the time with everything that kills tens of thousands of people. It'd be redundant, but fair.RickRund wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 11:34 amGot this earlier this morning.

Virus vaccines have been rare until not many years ago. The speed of vaccines is now pretty astonishing. They are developing many paths to look for vaccines.ilovethecats wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 11:44 amObviously I'm not educated on this specific drug combo you cited.

However, in all of these doomsday, worst-case scenarios, predictions of millions dead, then hundreds of thousands, our "9/11" and "Pearl Harbor", people don't seem to be considering the science. Maybe I am way too optimistic. It's my nature. But we have the smartest people on the planet working almost non-stop to fight this thing. I might just have more faith in the doctors and scientists than I should. But I truly trust that we'll come up with ways sooner than later to beat this thing, and it will be more than just keeping people from going to school and working for the next year.
Cool article. Thanks.
There is a lot of fear mongering going on. It is hard to tell what is factual and what is fake news. The mainstream media has been so focused on making Trump look bad versus just reporting the facts. It is frustrating.ilovethecats wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 11:44 amObviously I'm not educated on this specific drug combo you cited. But I think you bring up something that gets lost in all this mess.

I don't think we need a vaccine to have a season, just a treatment or better yet a cure.Cataholic wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 10:47 amIf the alternative is to play with no fans in the stadium, they might be better off waiting to play until spring.

Great question. Playing in the Spring, and then Fall 3 months later, would certainly throw a kink into offseason healing, surgeries, etc.The Butcher wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 12:55 pmIf they played in the spring (2021) would the next season be the fall (2021)?
Especially for teams who go deep into the FCS five round playoff bracket.91catAlum wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:03 amGreat question.

Right! you'd have to start the "spring" season in early February in order to have playoffs in May and the chipper in early June. (then start fall camp 2 months later?? yikes.) I just dont see that working very well.MSU01 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:20 amEspecially for teams who go deep into the FCS five round playoff bracket.91catAlum wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:03 amGreat question.

Or shorten the season by playing a conference schedule only, then having a 16-team playoff. That would put the entire season into a 12 or 13 week window, or the normal length of a regular season. Not playing non-conference games would also likely be safer, as it would lessen the amount of traveling around the country that teams would need to do. But that would take away the opportunity for teams to get their big paydays against FBS opponents, which many rely on. It will be interesting to see what happens!91catAlum wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:50 amRight! you'd have to start the "spring" season in early February in order to have playoffs in May and the chipper in early June.

And I think we can forget about the "better weather" theory, February is often our worst weather month in Montana.
Feb-March-April is no better than Sept-Oct-Nov.
I could see them contracting the playoff field to 16 teams maybe... even that is 4 weeks of playoffs, though.
No !!! This can't happen. It would screw up ESPN'S coverage of track and field and the corn hole playoffs.MSU01 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 10:17 amOr shorten the season by playing a conference schedule only, then having a 16-team playoff.

I'll take Sept/Oct/Nov every single day of Feb/March and FebMarch2.091catAlum wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:50 amRight! you'd have to start the "spring" season in early February in order to have playoffs in May and the chipper in early June.

It's an interesting idea. I could see it working if there were no out of conference games. Just start with league play.91catAlum wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:50 amRight! you'd have to start the "spring" season in early February in order to have playoffs in May and the chipper in early June.
