Game on?

[Goal-line]

Was driving home this afternoon listening to 590 radio and there was some speculation as to the possibility of the Wisconsin game being cancelled. Anyone have any confirmation on this?

A few other threads address this in more detail. Rumors of the game being in danger seem to have some credibility, but it is by no means a foregone conclusion at this time.

Lot's of discussion on this in the HCD explains thread.

The Badgers' test positivity rate is close to the threshold that would force it to stop regular practice and competition for at least seven days.

With a 21-day mandatory quarantine, I'd say any sort of legitimate football season for the B1G is toast. Of course, it was designed that way by the B1G brass.

Wisconsin appears scared to play us, so they are using the Bat Flu as an excuse to back out of the game, those dirty rodents.

On the otherhand 34 FBS non B1G games have been canceled so far this year.

And those people play in leagues that allowed for scheduling flexibility. That's what is so infuriating about this.

Many of those have been postponed or rescheduled. We will have 34 cancellations in just the B1G.

So by the snakebit logic (which there’s no question has some credibility over the years for us), if this game isn’t played then that means we would’ve won.

We win every time we take the field this year. Or not in this instance.

This team needed to play and it’ll be bad if we lose out on playing this game but in the big picture, if we come out having played seven or eight games that’s better than zero games.

At least that’s how I am approaching this crazy year.

Now why the conference is even in this condition has been discussed till the cows come home.

Bottom line is we should’ve just stuck with the initial plan and adjusted from there. A far more workable solution.

I think my attempt at humor was lost.

I don’t think so. Why would they intentionally design the season to fail?
