Ugh. Get well. The only silver lining about an injury so early is that the recovery time is there. And at least we know now, as opposed to getting all excited during the summer only to have player X knocked out a week before kickoff.

I meant to post this yesterday but it slipped my mind. In state cornerback Brandon Johnson picked Duke over N.C. State, Wake Forest, Tennessee, Northwestern, App State, East Carolina.

He is 3 stars, 5’10” 170 and fast.

I am trying hard to excited for the coming season, I'm just finding it difficult to get my hopes up that there will be one.

I told TNT that we should have a September yard tailgate, and play some game from a past season on the TV with the grills fired up.

I’m same as you on the optimism front there probably will not be a 2020 season. :( The health situation needs to improve rapidly and I don’t see it happening.

The True Blue 'Cue Crew has committed for our tent this coming season, but we (I) haven't paid the fee yet and won't until sometime in July. Hopefully we'll have some clarification about the season, games, attendance, etc. by then. When we do pay the fee, I'll need membership fees at that time as usual, even though there may be nothing "usual" this year. Time will tell, but maybe not all. :9f:

I was just thinking about that, Ozzie.

I went ahead and got my tickets, but not feeling warm and fuzzy about there being a season. :9f:
