Re: COVID Breakout on Football Team

Sweden also has the highest death rate per capita except the US. Per the numbers I am seeing Sweden is lower than UK, US, Spain, Brazil, Belgium among others. Also lets keep in mind are those deaths comparing apples to apples, and lets wait and see what happens when places that locked down open bac...

Re: Let’s go!!

Looking forward to see the details. I have heard 4 home, 4 away...with up to 11000 fans being allowed, depending. Not sure how the season ticket / game ticket thing is going to work out either. Hopefully this site will keep on top of the news and process, as our state media sucks A$$ (with the exce...

Re: When the college football season starts

A lot of this is driven by fear, which is what I have such a difficult time understanding. I've never been afraid of cops. Every single one I've interacted with here in Longmont has been awesome... but that's not everybody's experience, and that's maybe why I should just shut the hell up and listen...

Re: Embarrassed to be a Cowboy, we need someone like Scott Frost at UW

Four years? Hasn't Frost only been in Nebraska for two seasons? Frost had a winning season in 2017 just for a different team. If this is the joke in Nebraska, that indicates some sort of transference in the minds of the fans of institutional problems onto their current coach. Or is it just a genera...

Re: Embarrassed to be a Cowboy, we need someone like Scott Frost at UW

I just had to laugh about the “Scott Frost” part of this post. The joke in Nebraska is that the Huskers should be glad there is no FB this year...Because for the first time in 4 yrs. Frost won’t have a losing record! He also said by year two NU would be competing for B1G West title and in year 3 ev...

Re: The MWC is canceling fall sports.

I would love to have some Cowboy football to look forward to this fall. Since I moved to Texas I don’t hunt anymore (I tried it a few times to put some venison in the freezer but it isn’t really hunting here. You sit in an elevated box and shoot one when it comes to eat the corn you put out) But I ...

Here is a link:

Without football, Wyoming could lose $8-15 million in revenue

Some good info about season ticket refunds, practice, and the current situation in general. I get being frustrated over this, but this is mostly out of Burman's and the University President's hands.

I'm wondering if he's wrong on eligibility? Has anyone seen anything on how the NCAA will handle eligibility in the case of spring football? We assume it just shifts to spring but haven't seen an announcement. If you play a few games in fall and play in the spring does that count as 2 years? If so,...

Re: Bad News Coming Our Way

Honestly, with COVID, it makes sense that your large lecture hall classes be remote/online. Is it as good as being in the classroom, no, but how much interaction actually happens between the students and lecturer in those classes? I guess my point is, if these large lecture hall classes are the ones...

Will UConn even be FBS by then, or will they drop to FCS. They cut a ton of sports today. Depending on how long this COVID stuff continues, we could be looking at some big changes in college sports. That written, I have seen that UConn may be dropping from 24 to the minimum of 16 to stay FBS. I wou...
