Who's their 3rd string?

 

[HuskerGarrett]

Such a shame we won’t get to face him

 

[huskermack]

Damn. That changes things considerably.

Someone on RSS said Alvarez will work to get the game cancelled if it's a real positive, and that makes so much sense to me for some reason 🤣

I thought the same when I saw that comment. Like... oh yeah that seems more likely.

Is he better than what we've got?

Yes he is. I’m wondering if the 3rd stringer is at this point?

Nobody that is any good, that’s for sure.

Wonder if it could be a false positive? Idk.

I actually hope its a false positive. I don't want the game cancelled due to Covid positives.

Very well could be, but I'd think he'd at least have a confirmation test or tests. You'd also think he sat out of today's activities due to this, and perhaps tomorrow? IDK.

Our luck has been kind of shit the last few years, could this be the break we need to build some confidence?

But it has to be a certain number of positives, not just one. I can't recall what the threshold is off the top of my head.

You're right...I forgot about the threshold. Here is the rule:

If either team’s positivity rate is greater than 5% and its population — including coaches and on-field staff — is greater than 7.5%, the game will be canceled and considered a no contest. In that case, neither team would get the win or loss.

I really don't know what that means exactly....

 

[Mavsker]

Supposedly his two roommates tested positive as well. Can’t imagine three guys who live together all tested false positive.

Odds this game gets cancelled?

Low. Like 17:1

Low. Like 17:1

Well the morons on RSS would beg to differ....those imbeciles seriously believe that Wisc will actively now try and get the game cancelled. I am not shocked they don't realize that by doing that they would be sacrificing basically half their season.

I don’t believe they actively will but if 3 dudes have it rooming together who have been with each other all week /weekend I would guess more positives will come out in the coming days... just like other schools outbreaks & cancellations they’ve dealt with. I sure hope not but It’ll be something to watch this week
