And so it begins.....you really think a Spring season happens?

Farewell spring season. We hardly knew ye.

Assuming that spring football actually happens, would we get a decent amount of ESPN broadcast time since there won't be FBS competition pushing it out?

I have a feeling even if FCS is the only product... ESPN doesn’t really care.

It may depend on how much basketball is being played.

And cornhole. Can't forget about the cornhole.

That was my initial thought too. But with NBCND owning broadcast rights that's probably a big no. And no way in hell ESPN would simulcast that shitty production.

They will put it on plus like they always do.....free for them.

A second vaccine facing likely approval has now nudged the odds up to 60% the season happens. We are now looking at excellent supply of vaccines....suspect Pfizer will largely be used in large centers and for health care workers, and Moderna will be used on the rest. My money is on March for mass vaccination, which means football teams with resources will likely be late Jan for Feb (much more likely)...just depends how long to get through health care, elderly, and first responders.

Correct on all counts... it will be on ESPN plus -- what we will see though is an uptick in hard core CFB fans, who want football year round, watching the games -- which is a good thing!

Personally, I am just hoping it happens -- my fandom is currently wavering -- having trouble getting excited about anything football related -- and I hope that changes.

I've been watching some of the classics lately to try to keep my fix going. Watched the K-State game this past weekend... it never disappoints.

But if you need a quick shot of Bison adrenaline straight into your bloodstream give this a watch:
