Everybody is disappointed but it happened. Not playing is in the best interest of the team.

With the large number of sick players we have, Coach Fisher needs to be in College Station, and putting his full energy into monitoring the situation and making sure everything possible is being done to help them recover fully.

We owe that to the players and families.

Merry Christmas Jimbo.

Oh dear Lord lol

Oh ffs.

Jimbo will be like a Civil War doctor in a hospital full of dying soldiers!

I was one of the people very disappointed with our withdrawal and had doubts about the validity of it, especially when Bost made his post on Twitter.

With this being said, another school withdrawing from a bowl game put my doubt to rest. Bryce Foster confirming that covid is really an issue in the team helps, too. I really do hope he and the other students going through it gets better soon though. Covid really is nasty, even if it isn't life-threatening to younger healthier people.

Although, it really doesn't hurt to have a second team to root for in times like this. I'm glad I have one.

Anyway, I'm sorry for the panic from my end. I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas Eve.

What?

Pray for the fallen.

RIP

Nothing can stop what is coming.

I hope everyone is quarantined up tight… passing the time with regular chats with their position mates… watching short clips over and over again on iPads…

Look, it is what it is. Turn in your tickets and quit the 12th Man Foundation if you think they just canceled to duck mighty Wake Forest.

Not worth debating.

1. ***** about getting the Gator Bowl versus Wake

2. ***** about not playing the game due to Covid

3. ? ???

4. Profit

Right, so what exactly does a 12thMan do then? Do we just yell or what. Is there not a practice squad that can represent??

Are you really that stupid or just trying to sound that way? Grow up!

I've been laughing at the sips who keep saying, "just play the walk ons!"

Either they were exposed with the rest of the team or they weren't invited to the practices and can't play.

Either way we can't field a team.

Jimbo Fisher made his decision based on facts. Everything on this message board is based on rumor, speculation, and wild hopes.

We couldn't play. Drop it.

Unless you are a sip, then keep trolling below this comment.

No sense playing WF with our B team...

A team of 3rd string and walk one would not be simply destroyed by a middle tier D1 program. They would likely be hospitalized.

We have available 13 TOTAL scholarship players on defense. Odds are that leaves multiple positions with no starters or even 2nd string. That's not just accepting defeat, it's risking serious injury.

How's that? They practice against each other every day. Are you saying the walk ons would suck so bad they'd get hurt? Against Wake Forest?

So the walkons, who bust their butts against 3,4 & 5* talent week after week, would get injured due to the talent gap presented by WF?

The players getting injured would be the 13 scholarship guys who are not rotating out because coaches are afraid the walkons are a guaranteed score.

How are college educated grownups so naive. Do you people really think Jimbo is manning the phones, calling in favors for invermectin, and bringing over chicken noodle soup?

The only thing Jimbo is monitoring is his latest million dollar deposit and the temperature on his hot tub, whilst four fingers deep into a glass of pappy van winkle.

Everyone should try reading this post in their best Shelby Foote voice with Appalachian fiddle music playing in the background. It really brings out the pathos.

The biggest day this month was signing day. We inked the best class in history and have a seasoned QB coming to town. Bowl game? Sure would have been nice to play but we are following the rules. Missed practices are huge but we will have an Uber talented team next year. Can't wait to see us play.

Unless there's injuries, sickness, or players opt out, then we'll see...

What's the point of posts like OP? Is it virtue signaling? How can we be more like you?

Genuinely amazed that the narrative between us and tu has been about us opting out of the bowl game more than Rutgers being more qualified than them to take our place!

We lost a family member yesterday that spent the last week of her life in ICU on a vent. Everyone on that side of the family echoed the same nonsense about COVID being fake, not that bad, plus all the same vaccine misinformation that I've read in this thread and others. They were all taking horse dewormer as a preventive - a lot of good that did them. A couple of them severely ill and now one of them is gone.

This stuff is pretty bad. Maybe some of you won't get sick in a bad way when you get it but some of you might or maybe you share it with someone who dies from it. In short, this cycle will continue until more people start taking it seriously. I had it last year before vaccines were available. Took me months to be able to go up a flight of stairs without losing my breath. My wife had lingering heart problems from it. We were lucky.

Ill catch hell for the above post from the willfully ignorant wannabe politicians on this board. So be it. Merry f'n Christmas. I'll be back next fall. Thanks and Gig em.

yes, think of the children! most here do not realize that every week during the Fall, we are sending dozens of Scout Team players to the St Josephs ICU.

It's college football's dirty little secret.

If the walk ons would get hurt playing the 5* why were the high-end players even allowed to play high school ball?

Arkansas is going to play. Alabama is going to play. Georgia is going to play. This is the Sec; you field a team no matter what.
