Minny - Wiscy Is A No-Go!

I am not even sure if the Badgers qualify for anything at this point ..... I thought it was 3 strikes (which they now have) and you're out............I guess the virus is going to do what the virus is going to do.

They don’t qualify for the big championship game. Northwestern come on down
Surprise surprise the teams that are doing a shitty job at containing the virus are more competitive on than us on the field. Hmm I wonder how that correlates?

UW-Minnesota cancellation ends 113-year streak
With Minnesota having to cancel Saturday's football game against Wisconsin because of coronavirus-related problems, the longest uninterrupted series in FBS history will end at 113 consecutive years (1907 to 2019).
and the conspiracy guy in me wonders if this game would have been cancelled if they beat NW last week? Hmmmm...
Perhaps Pat Fitzgerald and P.J. Fleck are collaborating to level the Barry Alvarez scripted playing field.
Barry might have pissed off enough people with his Covid shenanigans, that the step-children of the B!G West are uniting to neuter the big fat f***

This entire season is an absolute farce..
I still cannot get over the absolute urgency to play games during this pandemic.But, 0 - 5 is a fact.
This could be NU's 2nd appearance in the conference title game. Meanwhile, Michigan still has 0. You hate to see it.
I don't think Ohio State has had any COVID issues, right? Or Northwestern. Or Indiana.
Looking up and down the top-25, a whole lot of those teams have had little to no COVID issues. They seem to be just fine in navigating the COVID issue while also fielding competitive teams.
So, I'm not sure what conclusions we can draw from that quite yet.
They suspended team activities after 30? players tested positive during team workouts before the season.
That's true -- forgot about that.
But I assume that coaches and the majority of the roster who didn't get COVID are still vulnerable to it.......and they haven't had any problems over the past few months. And seeing as though COVID rates are high in the Columbus area, apparently they're doing something right.
Is there any real evidence that we're behaving in a more restrictive manner than many other programs who have also avoided outbreaks? I know Franklin has been very vocal about it, but I do wonder how vocal he'd be about it if we were 4-1 right now instead of 0-5.
Everybody is dealing with the same challenge. And those programs who don't take it as seriously are going to pay for it (like Wisconsin).
Are other teams going to admit they aren't following state guidlines in order to normalize practices and possibly promote breakouts?
If the season were to end tomorrow, really only 3 teams would have found value, maybe 4. OSU shows they are still OSU and recruiting will not suffer. NW and IU show they are pretty good and get a recruiting bump, maybe Iowa. Then there are our guys and Michigan that look like train wrecks and will likely take a hit in recruiting. I wanted football back as well, but now.... hindsight
It's not fair. What couldn't they cancel any of our games?
Jealous.
Jealous.
But, 0 - 5 is a fact.
I will take the blame for that one. In week one I was watching the SEC play games and I said “Man, I want Penn State football back in the worst way!” The rest is now history........
