Another great step forward in the war against coronavirus! Does it mean a ton in the grand scheme of things? Not really, but it’s still a good sign.
Voluntary activities is the first step towards teams getting back to having full practices. It’s the first step in a long series of steps of getting football back.

Now, we need players to step up and get to work. You can bet the powerhouse teams will start grinding out June 1. You can bet your life on that.

If one team is going to have players engaging in football activities, then we all need to get to work. I’ll be damned if I let Ohio State get reps and not the Wisconsin Badgers.
The season is 100 days away! Only 100 days away! Let’s grind it out and get to work!

It’s a step in the right direction, and I couldn’t be happier to take it. Together, we’re going to win this war!
