I LOVE football, but, I am watching opening game for Tennessee in Knoxville. The stadium holds just over 100 thousand. It is packed to the brim. Not a single mask in sight. Screaming and spewing. But, this IS the state where parents will find you in the streets if you dare have kids wear masks, and hurt you. Lets see what happens in a few weeks. On a positive note, the team looks good, finally, and the QB is a full grown man. But, if they all get Covid and cant field a team, its a forfeit. So theres that.

Watching those fools takes away from the fun of seeing the game, it just shows how many are stupid and may be all are trump fans as well. Poor nurses, doctors and medical pros. My daughter is an ICU nurse. She cant hide away.

(8,716 posts)Thank God for HD 55 inch screens and surround sound. I am afraid Thanksgiving will not have a lot to be thankful about.
There will be and entire generation of current college students dealing with dead friends and long term Covid, if they are lucky. We Use to only worry about STDs at college. Do they get tuition refunds if the die mid semester?

(46,922 posts)I am watching the games there. So aggravating tonight to see the Bucks getting kicked by Minn.
I am sure students will wrap up the semester at Thanksgiving again this year.
And take their finals online at home.
Yes I am worried too what is going to happen in terms of health.
Ohio State is requiring all students, faculty and staff to be vaccinated and wear masks.
And Covid tests have been free and readily available and at some points in time required.
So we shall see how that works out.
Hell will freeze over before OSU gives a tuition refund for any cause.
And if a student dies during football season, OSU pries the football tickets from the kid's cold, dead hands.
That is funny. Usually by mid season you cant give Tenn tickets away. Good luck with your Bucks. I only pull for Tenn because my daughter went there. With out of state tuition I feel I own a small piece. Im a lifelong Ducks fan. Pre was why I started loving em. Cheers. Stay safe.

Columbus is a big football town, women cannot schedule a wedding during football season, especially the OSU/Mich game because no men would attend. Women have their babies by themselves during game time.
Prying tickets from a dead person's hands would just seem like a reasonable thing to do.
I am an OSU alum and my daughter has two degrees from OSU. So I own a small piece of the OSU campus as well.
The Ducks, know them from the playoff game in 2014.
Jebus God, Minn kicking ass. Darn Bucks. For all the tuition I have paid, they can at least win this football game.
You stay safe too.

(8,716 posts)OSU fought back hard. Next week, we cant be friends, go Ducks. Enjoy good opening days on the big screen, safe.

This is pure, raw human hubris, selfishness, addiction to entertainment and lack of compassion for our fellow man.
