It truly never ends when it comes to coronavirus causing problems in the world of college football. It never ends.
Think about all the games we had canceled this past weekend. Now, one of the most highly-anticipated games of the weekend might not happen.

However, bagging the Alabama vs. LSU game would certainly take things to a new level, and it would without question be the biggest cancelation within the SEC.
I’m simply not ready for this game to not happen. Don’t take the Tigers vs. the Crimson Tide away from us!
