Ladies and gentlemen, I’m on day 29 of coronavirus isolation, but I’m not giving up one inch of ground.

Now more than ever, the debate about the upcoming college football season is under the spotlight. Some are saying the season will happen, some are pessimists and some believe a middle ground will be found by the fall.

I don’t know what the plan is, but I do know if there’s one group of people you don’t want to mess with, it’s college football fans.

Below is a live look at fans from the SEC to the Big 10 if coronavirus seriously tries to cancel the season.

If there’s one thing the past 29 days have given me the opportunity to do, it’s reflect on my priorities and passions.

What am I willing to lay it all on the line for? What am I willing to cross any line to secure? The answer has become crystal clear, folks.

The answer is college football. Coronavirus might have jumped out to an early lead, but this war is quickly turning in our favor.

Together, the world of football has stood unified to win the ongoing battles against coronavirus. Never before did I think SEC and Big 10 fans would stand shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, but that’s what a common enemy does. It drives people together.

It took us a little bit of time to figure out what coronavirus is all about. We needed to learn its schemes, the playbook, tendencies and then we formed a game plan.

Now, it’s time to win this fight in the trenches. Anyway, it’s the man who is willing to die for that extra inch that is going to win.

If coronavirus thinks it’s going to cancel our college football season, then it has another thing coming.

If you think I’m going to let coronavirus take away my football season, then you just don’t know what I’m all about.

It’s day 29 of isolation, and my mission to save the season has never been clearer.

We will fight to the last man, adapt, push forward, sacrifice but we will never give up. Surrender isn’t a word I’m even familiar with.

We fight until we’re exhausted, and then we’ll fight some more to save the season. If you’re not all in by day 29, then just get the hell out of my way.

Man your posts, gentlemen. There’s a lot of this war left to be fought, and I’m happy to be fighting with all my fellow college football fans.

Coronavirus had no idea what it was getting into when it decided to threaten the season. We’re going to light this thing up like it’s the 4th of July. Enjoy the scene from “Band of Brothers” below to set the tone, and I’ll see you guys in the fall.

Now, let’s go win this damn fight and save the soul of this nation.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
