    Game on! Now that's finally some much needed good news for a change.

    The ESPN article mentions Scott has been talking to Kevin Warren the Big 10 commissioner about coordinating seasons and having bowl games. The testing machines are suppose to arrive at all the Pac-12 schools by the end of the month. I'm assuming the testing would need to be setup for practice to start so I would imagine an early November start might be about the fastest they could get games going. There's still plenty of hoops to jump through. Maybe I shouldn't be super excited yet, but I must say I am. Go Ducks!
