I have never been so happy to see this matchup! Honestly I just want to watch live football!
BYU vs Navy
- Thread starter 9nationalchampionships
- Start date
Happy. happy, happy. There has been virtually nothing of interest for me these past six months.
Tried to watch Memphis vs Ark St game Saturday until the commentators decided to talk about race and race relations for 8 consecutive plays without even acknowledging that their job was to cover the game. Warm up your mute button.
Agreed.... the non game commentary should be before the game, halftime or after. Let the game exist!
I think most fans like to get away from politics and other issues when watching football. Football brings you together as a team and teammates as one unified group. Each player has each others back no matter where you come from as far as I remember playing football. We all were together on the field and off the field.
Well.....I am a huge hockey fan and despite the Pens failures I have been enjoying the hell out of these playoffs. They have been great. But I have to admit, now that it is "game week" for HS, college and Pro, this is the first sense of some normalcy for me since the pandemic completely changed the world.
It is weird, I mean football really is trivial, but it is truly America's past time now, and America needs some irrelevant diversions from everything going on politically and healthwise. Because this obsession and divisiveness is not healthy.
Hang in there TF, emergency call just went out to Camp Lejuene but maybe to late to save the Navy tonight.
I figured it would be a bad day for the Midshipman right at the beginning of the game when Herbstreit said that Navy hadn't done any live blocking or tackling since their abbreviated spring practices.
I managed about 10 minutes of that game before I went to a re-run of Below Deck Mediterranean.
As a lifelong avid college football fan I can honestly say that was unwatchable, even in the midst of a sports-starved pandemic.

This may be the rule rather than the exception. Modern football is so regimented and structured. From spring practice, to summer conditioning, to 3 a days in camp. Now that has all been disrupted. Between the abbreviated practices, and teams canceling practice due to COVID, I'm not sure what we'll see this fall.
Also the no fans for football was very very spooky. You can cue all the Heinz field jokes for Pitt, but there is a big difference with completely empty. I wonder if players will have a hard time not treating it as just a scrimmage.
I wonder if refs will be inclined to ignore "home field" factors now that crowds are out of the equation.
Of course Notre Dame always gets those mysterious home field calls whether they are at home or not, so there is that.
