BREAKING UGA/MIZZOU now postponed (11/14/20)

They may as well postpone everything this weekend.

Georgia-Mizzou is 4th SEC game PPD this week

Due to a combination of positive tests, contact tracing and quarantining within the Missouri program, the Tigers' game against Georgia on Saturday has been postponed. Rescheduling "will need to be evaluated."

Kinda what I was thinking. Let's give it this one week, and see if the schedule can be managed. The conference expected this to happen at some point, and we'd be foolish to expect otherwise.

If we can't get 4-5 games on the calendar for 11/21, then I think the league needs to review if we can play anymore at all.

I just cringe when the financial fallout begins to really hit a lot of these programs. I read where South Carolina football program projects to have a $44 million loss due to COVID.

Half the teams in the SEC could afford that kind of loss, others have got a problem.

Maybe it's good for this to happen now and be out of the way. Not likely that it'll hit again this hard before this month is over. Fingers crossed

I saw on the UGA message boards that JT Daniels has been named the starter Saturday for the game against Miss State. It will be interesting to watch him. Not sure if it is because Stetson Bennett still has shoulder issues, or JT really passed him on the depth chart since he is supposedly physically and mentally ready.

Would be funny if somehow Leach could get the offense going and beat UGA, but I just don't see it. We do need UGA to still be ranked for the first playoff rankings next week though. Need Auburn to be ranked also. The win against Texas AM is looking better each day too.

Add Muschamp‘s buyout, and it’s $57 million. I don’t know what staff buyouts might be, but I’d guess they would push the total over $60 million.

And they still have to find another coach, so I guess they won't be going after anyone with a large buyout.

Wow...another $10 million here and another $10 million there and pretty soon we are talking about “real” money...

OH crap Saban doesn't have a buyout!

and then tack on the payout to coach boom

There will be a "thinning of the herd" in college football if something doesn't come forth to allow people to get back into stadiums at full capacity. Obviously the big boy programs more than likely can/will make it. But there's A LOT of well known name programs that may fall victim if this continues into 2021. Mardi Gras in Nawlins has already been cancelled for 2021...

I really hope Alabama can get the game in though. At this point the number of wins is going to come into play at least to some extent. Not only that, but I'm not so sure three weeks off in a row is really the best way to prepare for the Auburn game. This can also be read as I really hope Alabama can stay healthy and not catch Covid.

Finally, an Alabama QB finally winning a Heisman would be really nice as well.

Hoping we get this weekend in, and don't suffer any injury or issues with CoVId, following the game. It's a big risk every time the team takes the field.

My thoughts too. At least we have home games Saturday and vs Auburn, which is a little less risky than having to travel. My concern is if/when we have to travel to LSU, Arkansas, and then Atlanta 3 weeks in a row. That could be a major Covid concern, even though I know Saban is the best at trying to keep it under control... plus Thanksgiving.

I would think the players will be asked to stay in Tuscaloosa and try to be in a bubble over Thanksgiving. Saban usually has a big meal at his home for players who don't go home that day.. I doubt that happens either unless they spread out in every room in his home and/or have it outside if the weather is nice.
