The Houston Cougars game against North Texas has been cancelled due to cases on the North Texas team.

This the FOURTH opponent that has cancelled against the Cougars due to covid issues....SMU, Rice, and Baylor had cancelled already.  Baylor had been a replacement after a previous cancellation,

Indiana going to Phase 5 reopening. Any chance we can get fans in the stands? I thought the B1G said no fans.

Yeah the BIG has said no fans across the conference. Other conferences have left it up to each school.

Valparaiso high school football...went to state in 5A last year.  Won their first two games this year (against Penn and LaPorte)......week three game cancelled against Griffith due to covid issues at Griffith.  Week four game cancelled against Michigan City because of covid issues at Michigan City.  Played in week five against Chesterton and won a hard fought game.  Week 6 and 7 games now cancelled because of covid issues with the Valpo team (20 in quarantine).

So seven weeks in, they will have only played three games.

In other region football, Hammond schools are 100% virtual for the semester and had originally cancelled all contact sports.  School board voted last week to allow contact sports.  The four Hammond schools will start playing in week 7 and have three games each before playing in the sectional.

The one good Hammond football team -- Morton -- was already struck hard with talent loss as they had Cincinnati recruit JoJo Johnson transferred to Merrillville last January.  In August, after the Hammond schools announced that they were postponing fall sports, three other members of their football team transferred to Merrillville as well, including a D1 recruit defensive lineman and their starting quarterback who had thrown 17 touchdowns and no interceptions the year before.  They would have had a decent team, now they've lost a lot of talent and will only have three games under their belt.

And your point is?   Nobody was claiming the students would die.  It’s who they go onto infect because this thing is contagious.  There’s missing the point and then willfully ignoring the point.

I’d like to see where you got this. I’m not questioning it but I’d like to read it.

I have an idea of how IU is keeping their numbers low with their “random” mitigation tests.

Yeah, me too. Does "hospitalization" equate to overnight hospital stay? That would be a positive stat, though 48,000 positives in the community that "feel okay" are less likely to quarantine effectively. 

Get me a vaccine relatively soon and I'll feel better about the whole stinking, confusing situation.

Hospitalization has always meant to the FDA and hospitals that you are admitted and provided care.  I don’t know the context of the numbers or anything like that.  But if the definition were to be anything other than that I personally wouldn’t trust them.  Not saying that is the case here at all.  Just hospitalization is usually a relatively easy bar to achieve.

Based on your logic we’d still be in full quarantine with no one interacting because of the fear of spread.   The “herd immunity” conversation was always going to be the way this virus played out  (or vaccine if you want to believe that). The sick and vulnerable take extra precautions and the healthy live their lives like they have for virtually every other epidemic in the history of the world.  

The point is, the kids are doing great and that is very important.

Smh, nothing but fear porn at this point.

Students are much better off on campus amongst thousands of their young & healthy peers than at home in closer contact with people at higher risk in their own families.  In my county, Notre Dame has dozens of new cases every day, but no hospitalizations so far.  Even with the students here, the 7-day positivity rate is at 3.1%.

Your logic implies we need a worldwide full lockdown until the virus kills itself off.

Notre Dame itself is at 1% on the 7 day positivity rate.  Which if the county is at 3.1% that’s not too bad.  It’s not spreading into the public.  Most of Notre Dames tests are from people most likely being around someone in contact.  The state of Indiana imo has done a really good job.

The MAC is going to have a 6 game season.

I think we are learning that this year is going to result in more upsets than normal.  K State takes down Oklahoma and Mississippi st up 10 on LSU with 3 1/2 minutes left.
