Ladies and gentlemen, we made it to the end of the college football season, and the predictions about players dying turned out to be completely wrong.

Despite all the hysteria and fear, there wasn’t a single player who went down because of coronavirus. I can’t stress this enough, the fear porn failed. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Specifically, let’s take a look back to June. In June, CBS Sports published a piece where Dr. Sheldon Jacobson claimed multiple players would die if the FBS season happened.

“A few of them could end up in the hospital, and you’ll have a small number who could die. I don’t want to sugar coat it for you. I just want to give you the facts…If everybody comes together under normal circumstances, we’ll probably see that kind of outcome,” Jacobson explained.

Folks, we can’t let anyone forget how this happened. Don’t you dare let people forget where they stood in the war to save football.

When we said we wanted the games to safely happen, we were told that we didn’t care about safety. After all, players would die!

Very few in the media had the courage to stand up and call BS on all of it. I will go to my grave smiling knowing that I went down on the right side of history.

There were some minor hiccups along the way with canceled and postponed games, but none of the terrible predictions about death and hospitalizations came true.

Never forget the people who tried to make you believe we couldn’t play football. They might never apologize for what they tried to do, but we’ll always know who stood with the good guys.

To those of you who stood with the local communities, players and the rest of us supporting football, thank you. You all deserve a beer!
