This is one of those things where I don't feel like the season is officially real until we have a time for the first game. It makes me uneasy.

Why on earth would anyone be working against it? Makes no sense.
A lot of the talking heads I've seen on ESPN are SERIOUSLY ANGRY that the SEC, ACC, and Big12 would dare to have a season. I'm not sure if they are just angry Big Ten and Pac12 fans, or if there is something else going on.
We know that the Big Ten and Pac12 DO NOT want the other teams to play for a championship without them, so they're incentivized to try and stop it.
My guess is that they are far left politically. When a group of people become almost giddy about a pandemic, because it will "change things forever" and creates a "new normal", you come to realize that nothing (for them) is more important what winning, politically.
Yes, because GEORGE SOROS is funding a New World Order in which libruls are running America into the ground so that he can short the U.S. stock market and invest heavily in the Chinese stock market.
Yes, by all means, ESPN WANTS college football to die so that their parent company gets all the crazed sports junkies to watch Disney Plus.

Not sure where all of that came from. I just said that my guess is that some of the talking heads are a lot like friends of mine, that seem to be rejoicing in the current situation, as it leads to an advantage for them, politically.
But, whatever you say.

But yes, I have some far left friends that seem almost giddy about the current state of affairs, although they'd never say it out loud.

RE: Nobody in the stands. Now let’s talk tv.
This could be an incredible opportunity for Tiger football. It would be so awesome to go undefeated and get to bi@ch about not being in the playoff discussion even with 2 conferences out haha. Everyone is starving for something to take their minds off this covid sh$t. Could make for some big exposure if we play.

Unfortunately, you KNOW they will put two SEC teams in before an AAC team sniffs the playoff.

True but Memphis and the AAC will receive a lot more exposure. Good thing our conference has a lot of good teams.

You get that quote from Tucker Carlson? I know many lefties as well as many far rights. Some media and many social media protagonists say that but not normal people. Maybe you got it from the QAnon folks.

Nope. Just personal observation/conversation. I have quite a few far left friends.
But, I do like Tucker Carlson.

The Dudes on the street can't agree with each other on the T.V. However, 80 percent say they'll be playing and
TIGERNATION will benefit.
Ike will be happy when the first game is played and super happy after the Tigers whip arky state

Also at stomping the bejeezus out of that squirrelly 4 eyed douchebag on opposite him at MSLSD when it comes to ratings. Might even be higher than the squirrel and that Maddow fella combined.
