During town hall earlier today with Johnson and Monaco:

1. Wants to play a full season. Mentioned 56 games 30 SEC and specifically mentioned in-state competition at mid-week games.
2. Believes both players and fans deserve to see the schedule by winter break.
3. Wants fans to recognize the situation hinges on how the virus behaves over the next few months.

Thought I'd post it since I listened to most of the town hall via FB.

Cool. Winter break starts after Thanksgiving this year, yes?

Good to hear that. I'm still not real optimistic about what this means for live attendance, as even a 50% cap (assuming it's going to go up at some point), after having most of last season cancelled, would be a real kick in the nuts, but maybe things will look different at the end of November.

I thought that thought as I listened to the Town Hall. He mentioned the time until the break and it was approximately that time frame, yes.

FWIW, LA Tech just posted their 2021 schedule. It has 56 games and includes midweek games against Arky and Ole Miss. We'll have to wait and see if that holds up, but it's clear that the SEC is not expecting to initially schedule a conference-only slate.

they will delay as long as possible.

At this point if there is a season, I don't see how there is that many people in the stands. If you skip every other row; have 6' between people. how many can you get in Olsen. How many will be pushed to the berms.

Bjork addressed baseball/softball at this week's Town Hall by noting volleyball and soccer were scheduled for the spring with practice (and games? not sure) to get them ready for their tournament.

Said he hoped to have schedule for the diamond sports soon. Noted how the continuing situation is affecting the scheduling. No comments on number of games or possible start date.

LSU coach was on radio today in BR saying the league is leaning towards four game conference series(Fri/Sat/Sun), with no mid-week games during conference.
