The Independence Bowl cancelled the game because no team wanted to play Army. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/30570455/left-bowl-mix-now-all-army-black-knights-coach-jeff-monken-want-chance-play-memorable-9-2-season

I know that this has been a weird year and you can't judge an entire system based on a year like this. But......the system needs repair. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/first-and-10-college-football-is-at-a-crossroads-solution-expanding-the-playoff/

Total BS that 2 and 3 win teams are playing and Army isn't.

Not saying what happened to Army is fair, but I can understand why nobody wants to play them. You take a big injury risk whenever you play a team like that, and doubly so when you have to prepare for them on a week’s notice.

I realize that the service academies and a few others probably couldn’t compete at this level without extensive employment of the cut block. But if you’re a P5 upperclassman on the brink of a pro career, why would you risk going up against that in your last game, especially after managing to escape this hell season unscathed to this point?

Hate that for them.

BDV's point well made though. I recall we had a rush of injuries against AF several years ago.

I'm sorry, but the cut block excuse is pure bullshizzle.

You actually believe that SEC teams don't use cut blocks in certain situations?

They should be nominated to take Tennessee's place in the Liberty Bowl since we are out due to COVID

No I really want a bunch of our players injured.  Why not?  They get a scholarship.

And you're a A S S H O L E

Always have been

Been meaning to ask, during one of our previous friendly banters, you said you wanted to meet me one day. Do you recall that?

What I have been meaning to ask,is what exactly were you implying with that?

Because trust me. You DO NOT want to meet me.   

Old man.

Seeing that none of you guys are actually going to fight each other, I think we can call this discussion over.

Nope.  Don't recall wanting to meet you.

Old man? 

Is that the best you can do?   Pretty weak, really.

Well it happened a few years ago.  You said "I look forward to meeting you one day".

To be clear, I don't want to meet.

It has just always stuck in my craw that I never confronted you over the comment at the time.  I really should have.

You claim not to remember.  So....

Sorry you feel slighted. I only remember people that I give a rats ass about.

I don't feel slighted in the least. In fact, I would be very happy to never hear from you again.

But what I am saying very plainly, is you had best never imply a threat at me again.

I can't believe I let you get away with it the first time.

And if you ever do repeat try to "meet me" for any reason, I can guarantee you that it won't go well for you.

And because you, as usual, are too slow to figure it out, the "old man" reference means "you're too old and tired to back it up anyway".

As usual, I have to explain shizzle to you.  Oh well.

Hope all that is clear now.
