The Southeastern Conference won't get more than two weekends into their season. [View all]

Think about it. Each game will consist of 22 guys in intimate contact for two or three hours, swapping several different kinds of bodily fluids -- sweat, spit, blood -- as well as breathing heavily and inhaling and exhaling each other's exhalations. In red states where the virus is out of control.

What is wrong with this picture?

There is no way that virus is not going to run rampant through every Southeastern Conference football team.

I will be surprised -- no, beyond surprised, I will be positively STUNNED -- if they get through two full weekends of play before they are forced to call off the entire season.

I love college football. I am a lifelong Alabama Crimson Tide fan. Also a Mizzou Tigers fan.

But I have already resigned myself to the unalterable certainty that there will be no football this year.
