Well shit

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. Let’s 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 can’t field a team, it’s a forfeit. So there’s that.

And we are all family members watching their loved ones refuse intervention and as a result will have to watch them hit rock bottom before they realize they were wrong. (If they don't die in the process)

Will be a Covid Buffett for the virus. Nationwide, stadiums will be packed and screaming. All we can do is stay home and isolate. Double mask when we must go out act like we are in a shut down. Stay safe and let em all die.
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 can’t hide away.

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 STD’s at college. Do they get tuition refunds if the die mid semester?

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 can’t 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. I’m a lifelong Ducks fan. Pre was why I started loving em. Cheers. Stay safe.

Expensive and hard to get, people will fight over them, and go to great lengths to obtain them.

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.

OSU fought back hard. Next week, we can’t be friends, go Ducks. Enjoy good opening days on the big screen, safe.

Yes, and U-KY and Louisville fans are among the worst.

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