playing. They're both doing it in isolation and if that doesn't work, I don't see football being able to get over the hurdle either. Personally, I don't have much confidence in the 2020 college football season either, but I think how those two leagues fare this summer will go a long way to giving us a clearer picture.

The school will discontinue men's and women's fencing, field hockey, lightweight rowing, men's rowing, co-ed and women's sailing, squash, synchronized swimming, men's volleyball and wrestling after the 2020-21 academic year. Stanford also is eliminating 20 support staff positions.

gawt ###, that was some beautiful alliteration with the "seersucker" and the "sucking (of peanuses) and the "Saturday" and all that.
I may even change my avatar to a homosexual in a seersucker suit sucking shlongs on a saturday.

for us to suck again so I can get lower deck seats.
We can still be good, but all the obscenely rich old guys that buy 20 season tickets in the lower deck and resell 16 of them making money and making their 4 seats and equity all free are deaded...then we can get lower deck seats!
/s
Butt seriously.

lose revenue. I won't go so far as to say they've become money hungry monsters, but every year I want to say #### em a little more. Like a lot of companies that get big, they've completely lost sight of their core customer base.

They've turned into a corporate game day experience, which sucks.

Definitely agree, and the tailgating isn't what it used to be. I mean, for us it is. We still do the same #### generally. But the newcomer neighbors typically don't view our shenanigans with the same good natured/it's all good perspective. And why would they? They've invested $100k in a tailgate trailer/tow vehicle combo so they can impress people who aren't even their real friends! It's serious business.
I wonder if this is how people in Orlando felt when Disney opened up.

the more corporate and rule-bound the Clemson football experience will become. The alternative, I'm afraid, is what you see happening on game day in Columbia. The free-for-all tailgating experience would go away there too, if they somehow managed to get where we are. Big corporate sponsors won't plow dollars into a game day experience situation like you see down there.

money involved. But I do believe it will be different. No tailgating and/or fewer if any fans in the stands. Well except for bengaline
Heck who knows because this is 2020.
I just want them to play because this could be another special year.

Of course, that was before I saw the government shut down the US economy. And now, it seems we're hinging on doing that a second time. Suffice it to say, my confidence in the season is nowhere near it once was.

Don't think about what we all WANT. Forget that. Just think about something as simple as kids going back to schools - any schools. They'll be in the Petri dish of school, which is bad enough in any year, with all the others who serve them (teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, townies) and then once the weather gets cool again and people go inside to dry, indoor environments - fuhgeddaboudit.
My idea all along is to have a shortened season with no bowls or playoffs. Given the underclassmen some PT. Play against other teams. Get ready for Spring 2021 and pray we can go back to regular football in fall 2021.

which is good
however, there is a very real chance that the football season may not happen
I have come to that conclusion and I will understand when it happens
