Latest update from Reddit CFB. The old school UConn Huskie is cool!

Not really. It's a metaphor. So many get out of sorts when serious events are used this way. Again, these are meant to be metaphors... never literal comparisons.

At what point does using said metaphor become ridiculous?

Lou's hyperbole on the Normandy invasion is just as stupid as when they compared Antifa to the D-Day landings. Both references are in fact insulting to those who went through it. Comparing playing football- or street riots- to the hell that they went through that day is embarrassing.

IMHO, ol' Lou is out of touch with reality. If I had a son or daughter playing college sports I'd want them and their schools to put health concerns first and foremost.

By the way, I know that RedditCFB's graphic has been posted in this thread quite a few times, but I want y'all to know that on more than one occasion we've updated it based on sources I found through this thread.

On behalf of all the contributors to this thread, we appreciate it. :)

According to KNBC-TV in LA, the Pac 12 and Big Ten will be releasing their decisions soon, possibly today. And odds are they'll be postponing their fooball and other fall sports seasons too.

I just wanted to give kudos to Fred Roggin (below left) of KNBC-TV. He's the one who made the above comment on the 11:00 news last night. He's known as the dean of SoCal sports for good reason.
