One of my daughters was friends with Michael Bennett's sister. They were hanging out one afternoon and he asked if they wanted a snack since he was going to make one for himself. "Sure" said the girls.
He made them a pizza. A whole pizza for two teenage girls that ate like birds.
He made himself four.
"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me."

I saw yesterday the Notre Dame AD came out and said they were considering a number around 18K to start, and the first 11K would be the students which I think is their total (full time / part time) enrollment. I am not sure how students are kept out if part of their student fees are going to the Athletic Department.
I was joking with one of my old college friends about this. Just let all of them come back get sick and then throw them all in the South Stands. The home field advantage of having the opponent spend half the game going into 40k virus infected screaming college students is terrifying.

Good article today on some of the high priority recruits. Sounds like if they can get Wolfe and Egbuka on campus for visits they’ll land them. Hopefully with the team coming back to campus recruiting visits can follow. Egbuka is from Washington though so could be a logistical issue.

I'm gonna note this here rather than the general college football thread - but I noticed on the crawl the other day UMich said there will be no football for them this season if students don't return to campus. Any thoughts on that?
What that means to me is (that the plan is) students will be returning to campus.
More and more schools are talking about having kids back on campus or at least a hybrid model.
A few weeks ago there seemed unity for all conferences that if one school couldn't play, they all wouldn't. They (Gene Smith) have seemed to move off of that.
FWIW Smith is talking about having games with limited fans in attendance. That had come a long way in a month. It wouldn't surprise me to see the football season to be played as scheduled.
