before that vanderbilt and missouri canceled because of the coronavirus and quarantining of players. columnist from "usatine, it is great to see you and terrible to talk about what's going on here. you wrote, quote, this is utterly predictable and what's happening is ultimaterly shameful. did arrogance lead to this, in your opinion. >> absolutely. ar began among a lot of football coaches and players. this has been true for decades because i've covered this sport a long time. there's a sense you can never show weakness. you can never have anything other than this grand, grand confidence. it's a big shouldered sport. we love it. i love college football. i grew up watching it in fledo, university of michigan, but that is certainly right now the problem. the sense that college football can take on covid. we know that just is not the case, that college football is going to have a difficult time handling covid-19. you knew it when they decided to play college football. we see it in a bigger way, brianna. this is the riskiest roll of the dice we've seen in college life, not just sports. 18 to 22 years old bein

well, we mentioned josh hawley, this is the senator from missouri saying what we learned from tonight's presidential debate, biden is going to end usa energy independence and destroy remaining blue-collar jobs so that we can go back to being dependent on foreign oil and embroiled in endless wars. great plan. but i'm sure the bidens will find a way to make money out of it. and this from senator john barrasso saying, joe biden just admitted that he would end the oil industry which would kill good jobs and the u.s. energy independence and hike your utility bills. our families will not forget, calling it a big mistake, and then scott wong of the washington post pointing out that vulnerable democrats are already breaking from biden on his oil industry comments, pointing to this one in particular from kendra horn, a democrat from oklahoma, who says this is one of the places that biden and i disagree, we must stand up for our oil and gas industry, we need in all of the above energy approach which is consumer friendly, and protects oklahoma jobs. i will keep fighting for that in congress. that is what the democrat from oklahoma in that toss
