Covid concerns could easily be a cover. When you must unexpectedly cancel practice and don't want to give your team the real reason, you say "covid concerns."

Or it's likely just a cancelled Sunday practice (which isn't typically a real install practice in any event) the day after a road trip with another road trip Friday.    It could mean something but that is the most likely scenario.  It would be a little more shocking to cancel a Tuesday practice but a Sunday practice?  Nah.

I wouldn't expect to hear they cancelled it to fire the coach until the fire him.

 

You don't tell the players that

Yeah that's bs. Sam was playing on one leg and one hand for majority of the season. Something else is up

Looks like I picked the wrong Starbucks this morning when I easily could have done HP Village location for the bonus MILF situation. And just for fun I have a text into one BMD friend to see what he is hearing. I see some BMDs on TV at the hoops game on ESPN, checking their phones a lot. Hmm.

Offense is tired from actually moving up and down the field for the first time since week 1.

Canceling Sunday practices is shocking because that's our best practice of the week according to Tom.

Perfect response. I’m smoking a brisket later this week and making chili with leftover point. 

Did that about a month ago. Dayum was it good.

Re: practice cancellation - Gonna need to talk to the players at some point, but now is not that time (I suppose).

That would have been an uncomfortable practice. 

It would've been really uncomfortable when he had to pass out new playbooks with Longhorn decals placed over the OSU logo on the playbook.

Put me in the camp of a verified practice cancellation means something is going on.

We've said for a while that cdc would probably not act on Tom until we're officially out of b12 contention. That happened last night. That part is done.

Leading up to today, the common refrain was that if Tom was coaching at Sunday practice after we're officially eliminated, that's a bad sign. I've been anxiously watching that part.

Now practice is cancelled, and we're supposed to believe it's just rest? These guys are banged up every week, and we practice. I don't buy that and I don't buy covid from a group who flew together as recently as last night.

If practice is really off, I personally find the most likely explanation to be that something is going down. Doesn't mean Urban, but something with Tom for sure.

LOLOLOL.  That's a perfect reflection of MENSA culture.  Soft.  

Practice isn't exactly intense across the board (NFL/NCAA) this time of year.  It's a Sunday 'practice' day after a road trip W with one of the worst teams in D1 up next week.   Could it be "cover" for something else?  Sure.  But there really isn't anything shocking about cancelling Sunday practice given the circumstances.

I dunno. Not sure I buy that excuse, definitely something to watch....

Apparently no reason was given for the cancellation to the players. No news of a team meeting or anything though. They have the rest of the day off.

Wow. Definitely something to watch. Hmmmm

In a perfect world. Herman is being fired today. They just coincidentally cancelling practice for any other reason seems to defy logic. 

Not saying its not being cancelled for other reasons. But when the whole CFB world is waiting on this to happen. Cancelling for any ther reason seems ...weird?

That Browns team is going to end up winning 11-12 games. 2020 is odd.

I'm the opposite here.  why would you cancel Sunday when it is always our best practice of the week?

Except we've struggled to beat that worst team in D-1 for the past two years? Not saying run them ragged but a day off for beating a meddling KSU team is horseshit, just because KU is dogshit too.. Nah

Agree. I don't know how these things typically work, but wouldn't players typically be given the first notice? Instead, they'll find out through twitter.

Or Tom would've mentioned last night that we'll take today off and start planning for Kansas after the weekend.

I mean I think we've all known that Herman BS coach speak.  I think it's just as likely coaches are coasting and want a break, want goodwill from players after a W, etc.   I'm just saying none of us would blink an eye if we were undefeated right now and Sunday practice was cancelled.  Coaches do this shit all the time in the NFL after a W.
