Should college football as a whole have taken this week off to remember 9/11?

This is the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and it lands on Saturday this year. Seems every year more people forget. College football was canceled after those attacks 20 years ago. You could make a case either way for playing or taking the day off in remembrance. I hope we at least take some time to remember what happened 20 years ago on Saturday at least.

No. Life can’t stop. We can remember the loss and keep going. There are things that can be done during games to respect the day

I don’t think there will be any lack of 9/11 remembrance next weekend.

We remember in Aggieland.
Had a nice pregame video with George Bush too.

Not going about our lives normally is how the enemy wins. So no.

No and should have played 20 years ago. To stop our lives just gives the terrorists another win. Live your lives in remembrance but still live your lives

I remember that weekend we skipped football. It was a surreal moment in time. I remember making it up right before the SECCG. Ole Miss ending with Vanderbilt. Unreal.

It was canceled because of the fear of terrorist acts at large venues. Why would we cancel twenty years later? Hopefully the universities will use the day to honor the memory.

Why would anything be canceled on 9/11? Isn’t that letting the attack shut us all down again? Letting them win in a sense? This is America. frick that. We gonna drink. We gonna football. We gonna wear our sissy blue shirts and whoop a terrorist arse.

No. They will all do some kind of moment of silence, which is nice.

You are a complete and utter moron if you actually think that 1/6/2021 is in the same universe as 9/11/2001.
There's certainly no shortage of morons anymore.

No

No, we should nuke Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia on 9/11, and play double the football.

Commemorate 9/11? Absolutely and I'm sure that all of the games will, regardless of where they're played. Certain locations will likely have a different feel to them. I'd imagine that games / events in or close to the NYC area will certainly have more emotion attached to them.
Not play because of it? What kind of reasonable case could you make for that? Lord, you're ate up with the dumbass tonight.
On that subject, I remember that 20 years ago, then SEC Commissioner Roy Kramer was holding out for playing games on the weekend that followed 9/11. The SEC would have been the only league to play that weekend, which would have been a massive mistake. Even many of the players were against it. Eventually, he deferred to public pressure and relented. LSU was scheduled to host Auburn that weekend and the game got pushed back to December 1st, along with Tennessee vs. Florida. It turned out that both of those games would determine who ultimately went to Atlanta that year.
