I have wanted to post a couple of times that we fit the description of a team that would cancel their bowl. QB already in the portal, though my hesitation to post is that Noland played a good bit and Brown wasn’t exactly amazing back there. But still, we have some guys that won’t play in the bowl game, starting QB gone…we get hit with Covid and I’d say we’d probably pull out. Same can be said about most teams to this point though.
My gut feeling is we are one Col. Zeb Covid positive away from cancelling, but if we are able to play we will show up.
Not wanting this thread to derail, but I could be easily convinced (I may have already convinced myself) that China intentionally released this onto the world because they were pissed at Trump for upsetting their lucrative trade imbalance with us. Those crazies over there are fine with a little population-thinning anyway.
It’s been pretty well reported that the effects of omicron are less severe than previous strains, yet people keep losing their minds.
Understand a heavy dose of Duke’s will protect y’all?
Miami being without it's OC (Lashlee to SMU), 2 assistant coaches (went with Lashlee) without it's DC & HC (Manny Diaz) was going in severely short staffed. This may not be that bad of an outcome for them.
Great point. Florida having a post game scuffle was a bad look, especially for a team that showed no fight all season. But with a lame duck coach there is zero accountability and discipline. In those situations, it’s probably best not to go bowling at all. Even in our own program, when the players knew it was Holtz’s last game the crap hit the fan.
More bullshit, play the f'ing game... All you need is 25 players, kicker and two on the bench to play football... Real football players can play both ways...
Shame they dont have to sign some kinda contract to keep them on the field when the recieve NIL money. Kinda like the real world.
Players and fans of the teams schedueled to play in games that were cancelled?
This admin won't cancel even if we have to get Perry Orth an extra year of eligibility. Mayo might cancel if they decide it's too much of a risk, but do NOT look for UofSC to back out.

Legendary Duke Could Have Been John Wayne's Whiskey
This is a good bourbon. At $38 you are paying a slight premium for the branding, but that offers a good conversation starter and a ready-made pretext to sample a bottle. We’ll never know for sure what John Wayne would have thought of his namesake bourbon, but I think The Duke would have approved!
You're putting most of the burden on the players, however the yearly coaching carousel has a big impact on the bowl system as well. There are several teams (Nevada which is on TV as I write this) is one of teams impacted, the HC leaves takes some assistants with him leaving a short handed staff and putting them in a almost impossible situation.
If any time in the future folks around the world wonder how the United States of America, supposedly the wealthiest country in the history of the world, could have the worst outbreak of this virus on the entire planet, they should just read this thread for insight.
