Soooo, here are your TV times: Week 1: Sept. 26 – Mississippi State at LSU, 3:30 pm ET / 2:30 pm CT Week 2: Oct. 3 – Texas A&M at Alabama, 3:30 pm ET / 2:30 pm CT Week 4: Oct. 17 – Georgia at Alabama, 8 pm ET / 7 pm CT

COVID shreds Auburn, LSU position groups

The COVID-19 pandemic may have hit the University of Alabama’s school population hard, but it’s hit Auburn and LSU’s teams harder. Auburn hasn’t been able to practice since Tuesday, because positive COVID-19 tests meant practice was cancelled on Thursday. Wednesday’s practice may have been due to the virus, but also due to social justice issues, but Auburn hasn’t been transparent about it. And when they do step on the practice field in the burning, humid heat, the team will only have 16 players due to positive tests and worries about exposure to the virus. “We are learning as we go here,” Malzahn said, according to 247Sports. “Every day and every week is a different challenge, and we talk about the teams

How do you keep players ‘in the bubble’?

  Right, so keeping players in the bubble’s going to be tough. It’s pretty obvious that the kids who are going back to school think that just because they passed a COVID test between March and now that they aren’t ever gonna get the plague, so they are gonna hang out, drink and do dumb stuff, because they are students. Football players aren’t different, particularly with all the distractions. And no, we ain’t talking about studies, since a lot of college football players wouldn’t be in college if it wasn’t for football. Hell, it’s a miracle most of them got through high school. A great friend of mine was pursuing the sort of lifestyle that would have made Hunter S Thompson proud

Three Auburn players have tested positive for the novel Coronavirus, the school has said. The players – as usual with these cases – have not been named – are isolating themselves from the team.

Report: Five Alabama players test positive for COVID-19

Five Alabama players have tested positive for COVID-19. BamaInsider didn’t say who the players were, and the University of Alabama did not disclose their names, confirming “player privacy regulations” to Simone Eli of CBS-42. “I’m told the players were tested Tuesday, practiced together Wednesday, and received the positive results today (Thurs). Source tells me that no players showed symptoms/signs,” she tweeted. “Further, I’m told that nearly 50 players were together yesterday on the band field. (As we saw in many videos) Those players “should” be in quarantine moving forward, source says. She added: “Source did not specify names, nor did I ask. Did say it was one lineman, a couple skill position players and one quarterback.” Meanwhile in Tuscaloosa –

Why the college football season will DEFINITELY go ahead

Earlier on Saturday Fox Sports’ writer Joel Klatt tweeted: “The college football season will 100% go ahead…. Fans will be in the stands at some capacity in most of the stadiums….The season will likely start on time”. Of course, everybody jumped on this like Klatt’s words were gospel, and he had to basically write a tweet back to Reddit’s CFB board saying: ‘These are just ‘thoughts’”. It didn’t take time for Clay Travis to snipe at all the other sportswriters, effectively saying that it was bad news for other college football writers that the season wouldn’t go ahead. Someone forgot to say to him: Why would college football reporters not want a season to go ahead, bearing in mind college

The No.1 player was Spencer Rattler, who is considered to be the de-facto starting quarterback at
