Hey Rube….
| Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images Waking up not knowing what happened this week. We were somewhere around Tryon, in the middle of the sandhills, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit light headed, maybe you should drive….” And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming: “Holy Jesus! What are... |

Why a Cancelled Game Should Be a “Forfeit” and Not a “No Contest”
| Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch via Imagn Content Services, LLC This isn’t just about Nebraska and Wisconsin. This could be about Michigan and Ohio State. To be clear, I absolutely understand why Wisconsin decided to postpone football related activities. It appears that COVID-19 is making its way through their program. At the same time the state of Wisconsin is seeing record highs of confirmed deaths and hospitalizations. I believe Wisconsin would have cancelled the game even if Graham Mertz had not tested positive. They still would have... |

Of course, as this was sitting ready for publication, Wisconsin was forced to suspend football activities, cancelling the game. Still, it’s worth taking a peek at what could have been. Wisconsin started the season with a dominant 45-7 victory over... |
