Hey all, Bud here. Just want to say that about five minutes after the show ended,

the Big Ten decided to postpone its season and try to play in the spring.

That said, the discussion you're about to hear is still relevant since it's about why

or why not to postpone the season, looking from the viewpoint of multiple parties involved

across all the different leagues. So we hope you enjoy, and yeah, it really doesn't change our opinion on this stuff.

What's up? Welcome to Barton and Bud. This is Barton Simmons. He is Bud Elliott. And I'm back.

I've been partially back for the last month or so. But I am sitting back in my house, fully employed from paternity leave. And, you know, I think I have a Phil steel coming in the mail like today or tomorrow. And I can't wait to open it up and look at all

the schedules that I can just rip out and throw away. But it's been a wild couple of days,

man. It has been, man. I was going through some of my preview magazines right here. We actually wrote the, I think we

wrote the recruiting part of this back when I was first hired and got the emails like, hey,

you have 5,000 words that are due by the end of this week. It has been a crazy week, man.

Last week, I thought we had a good show.

We talked about how the schedules are coming out, and that's pretty neat.

We got excited.

We lamented the lack or the loss of some of these non-conference games, but I think we were

still pretty happy to have games.

It's like, man, this is,

I'm pumped up.

And even if in the back of your mind,

there's a little thing that says,

eh,

I haven't really said to it is your guarantee.
