For those that care about the OSU/Covid stuff, this is the closest I've seen to a legitimate report on it. Emphasis on closest and legitimate.

I saw that earlier on Reddit. Definitely not sure how real it is but it is interesting that he is going against a lot of message board info I have seen.

Zero clue if it's true, bht I saw something on Instagram that their first and second string kickers had tested positive and aren't making the trip. They have a true freshman there now. Once again, caught it in passing, so zero percent sure if it's true, just sharing what I saw.

The truth… team is ready!!! Coaches have them prepared and they have movie tonight. They will have walk through before lunch and leave 2.5 hours before game. Practice has gone great. This team is led by seniors and 4th year players that care!!! They came back for one reason, To win it all!!! We will miss Dickerson but he will be on sideline cheering!

I expect DeMarco Hellams and Brian Branch to start. They both played great last game and are ready! The key on defense is stopping their 2 backs and TE. Battle and DeMarco will have to play great. They are both great tacklers. Look for them to come up and put pressure.

We need pressure on their QB from Barmore, Anderson and Allen. Harris and Moses will need to be strong up middle and cover edges. Have to stop them on 3rd down!

Waddle… if he plays, it will be his call. If they had a 5th captain it would be him. For him to even try to come back shows what kind a player he is. He is respected by every coach and player!

Mac has been the best QB in country all year. We need one more game like previous 12!! Ohio State plays a ton of zone and you have to take what they give you. Look for a lot of underneath but take shots when blitz.

Bama thinks Tyreke Smith and Tommy Togiai are out with covid but no way to know. We have nobody out with covid!! I appreciate all the positive/funny posts all year! Let’s finish this tomorrow night!!!

Wonder if any of these guys know what the party line was.....
Probably learned "birds n bees" from sears catalog

If Bama wins this will lead to the "If" excuses.

If Ohio State had to play a full schedule they may not even have gotten this far anyway.

...they're like Bama and Clemson - loaded with talent. Next up...

With the margin of the win maybe this will not be as big of an excuse as it could have been. Would the margin have changed maybe. 28 points doubtful. Would they have held us below 30 points? No.

my question is why did they suffer from so many Covid issues when we practically had none? That's the defense I'd throw against any blowback about who they were missing. I mean the B1G was supposed to have some really stringent protocols, right?

Most of Bama's team had Covid, but it was before the season. Some during the season, but not much to have an impact. It hit the coaching staff harder during the season.
