Rattler looks the part…but should we be playing football at all?
What a long and strange journey it has been to reach the beginning of an abbreviated season of Sooner Football.
The schedule has lost two of the bigger games of the year in Tennessee and Army. And the remaining games are not guaranteed to be played.
Several teams across the country, including in the Big 12, have had to reschedule and even cancel games due to the current pandemic. I was surprised that they went ahead and planned to play any season at all this year.
The Pac 12 and Big 10 had cancelled their fall seasons with an eye toward maybe playing in the spring. (Although the Big 10 has since changed course and is now set to start October 24 th .) I assumed that the rest of the Power 5 would follow. But I guess they decided there was too much money involved.
