There you have it, folks! The ball is rolling and we’re back. We’re getting our sports back.
I love how the conference said it’s “voluntary.” Give me a break. Once these schools get the green light, athletes are going to return without a doubt.

There’s not a school in the SEC that won’t have football players back June 8. It’s laughable to think differently. There’s no chance any team takes longer.
Once Alabama, LSU, Auburn and Georgia get rolling, everyone else will jump right back into the action.

Damn, I could cry right now. I’m that happy. It’s been a long war against coronavirus. It’s been a tough war against coronavirus.
Victory is on the horizon, and the SEC getting back to playing football is a huge step forward.
Health experts: college football might be canceled this season because of coronavirus.
