And this was just one guy's opinion.... that I wanted to share with Hoosier Sports Nation. However.... the Bugeaters HAVE to get better.

Their priorities aren't your priorities and that's no one's fault. I doubt you'd make fun of any of these guys to their face, so don't do it on a message board.

btownqb Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 You do realize all college basketball players would be doing the exact same thing the CFB players are doing, right? Alllllll of them are tweeting #WeWantToPlay but yeah the players are "crying". Just an incredibly misinformed stance you've taken on this topic.

Then put me on ignore because I can have my opinion just like you can. I don't agree with most of your post but don't tell you are getting annoying. We saw last week how they said the players wanted to play yet we still see more and more players opting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be playing. Your health is not their worry, nor should it be. Saying they're crying... just immature. I would you'd be better than that.

Seeking6 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 SEC schedules announced tonight. Fun to see fans talking about the what ifs,etc...I'm beating the same drum but the Big 10 better hope they are right. If SEC, ACC, Big 12 all play, have partial fans and no problems this fall.....there won't be enough lube to what the Big 10 is in store for this fall. Which is why I keep saying the same thing. Why the rush? They could have made the same call in early Mid-September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Carolina has had high numbers. Huge party school. A lot of schools haven't started or just are beginning to like IU. I really think its just a matter of time before we see spikes at most colleges reopening campuses. It's going to be hard to prevent the partying. I have seen some "football schools" take huge precautions to keep players in their own bubble. USC(South Carolina) is one. Will be interesting to see if they can stay negative. I'd think players would have a lot of peer pressure from other players not to go out and party. You wouldn't want to be the guy that got it and forced your team to forfeit the season. Go Hoosiers!!!

I had a long discussion with our team last week and explained to them... they don't want to be the guy that isn't wearing a mask/doing all they can, that ends up with the virus and shuts us down for good. Obviously a fair amount of the time we can't control it, but still need to do all we can. The numbers are absolutely staggering how low percentage of people under the age of 54 that have it though. It's pretty hard to drop below .1%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of coaches in the past probably let certain players get away with extracurricular stuff but I bet most have drawn a line now. You go out and party or sneak your girlfriend in... your off the team. One bad egg and the season's shot. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why there are spikes. Correct....but my comment was mostly made as joke. Seems like the spikes being reported are only happening where football is taking place. Not the schools where they've cancelled. Just my two cents on media bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
