We count our losses in Normal Minn—-this ain’t no Badger “no contest” game: Fiction

Over some strong stiff coffee this morning at Betty Lou's in Normal, Mn the grizzly bass fishermen had a fieldday over the breaking news story that the Wisconsin Badgers who had a wonderful win last Saturday with a history making performance by their new quarterback---were stunned this week as that quarterback and his backup as well as the coach and a dozen players tested positive for Covid. The even bigger news was that the Badgers who were scheduled to play Nebraska this coming Saturday requested that the game be considered a "No contest" and not count as a loss. Meanwhile all across Wisconsin covid is rampaging and folks are dying. For keeps. So I just blurted it out"What do you think.?". The old fisherman responded: Up here in bass fishing country when you are not getting any nibbles in one location one moves the boat or changes the bait. Doing nothin is not the plan. Change is required. "As for the badgers....they need to count the game with Nebraska as a loss. And then change the remainder of the football season till the spring. Not counting losses is not the manly thing to do.
