Really don't want to lose men's soccer, women's basketball or baseball. Those three sports actually pull their weight most of the time.

Calling it now, somewhere in the bowels of social media in the next few weeks, someone will comment that the only reason more people are dying is because of more testing.

Will 5-5 teams go to bowls? Will there even be bowls?

10 conference games would mean each team would play an additional team from the opposite division. I'm sure we'll get Iowa while Purdue will get Maryland.

I think we'd be in a better spot right now if masks had been made a priority early on. Federal leadership could have found a way to make it patriotic. "Make a mask for yourself, make masks for your family, make masks for your friends! It's the American thing to do!" More businesses probably could have stayed open, the curve probably flattens earlier, and we would be a lot closer to normal than we currently are. Imagine if Trump tweeted new styles of masks every week, instead of all the stupid **** he tweets now. But instead of making this a patriotic campaign, he had to be a macho-man and act like wearing a mask and showing compassion for others is a sign of weakness. Now most of his followers are anti-mask and abhorrently anti-media. Look where it's gotten us.

I wonder if other countries have people creating fake "face mask exempt" cards. I bet in some countries it would never even be considered.

I rarely put any stock into what pro athletes say anymore. Many of them are flaky and are vague with their intentions; it's what money and fame do to people. Peyton Mannings don't grow on trees.

I decided to look at the Pacers' Facebook page comments (thank you in advance for your condolences) and was honestly shocked at how many fans are saying they want him traded because of this. Others were saying it's Paul George all over again and he wants to play for Miami when his contract is up, even some saying his injury won't fully heal and he'll eventually go the Andrew Luck route and just quit. Indy sports just can't catch a break the last few years.

Won't happen. The current federal leadership is too divisive, and people are too committed to their political beliefs to change the way they think.

Disney World is licking its chops. If it's open, you know people will still go there and cough all over each other.

Kind of wish some of the businesses in my community would loosen their grip a little. Went to the library today, which is under construction with everything moved around in addition to the mess that Covid has turned it into. Didn't know where to return my books, so I handed them to a librarian, who told me "next time, use the drop box." I guess touching a book that someone else touched is dangerous now. The Animal Shelter has been closed since March. It announced today it will remain closed indefinitely after planning to re-open next week. I get why we need to be cautious, I guess I just don't know why everything has to be upended in an area that's actually doing pretty well right now.

I think a C is fair. We had a nice year, but blew our last game in embarrassing fashion. The program hasn't had a good offseason, either. Recruiting really needs to pick it up. Maryland and Rutgers signed better classes than us. We're in big trouble if that continues. And it's absolutely ridiculous that we haven't beaten OSU or Michigan since the 80's.

I know, just felt like pointing out to some that this has turned out to be a lot more serious than initially thought.

Florida's numbers are insane right now. They've been pumping out 8-9 thousand new cases a day for several days.
