As we near the beginning (hopefully) of college football season, we also near the return of Fansville to the forefront of our brains. A lot has changed in our world since we last saw Fansville. COVID-19 hit our world, we stayed inside for months on end, the term "social distancing" became part of our lexicon, wearing a mask became common practice, and yet here we are with still more questions than answers. It begs the question, how are things going in Fansville? As with everyone else, they were hit by COVID-19 too, but what is not known is how they have responded and how the town is fighting COVID-19. There are many questions, and the concerned viewers of college football need answers.
DOES FANSVILLE HAVE A VACCINE?
Possibly the biggest question of all, if Fansville has a vaccine then one might presume that they have returned to normal life. Let's say Fansville does have a vaccine, was it developed at State or Tech? The school that developed the vaccine would have the ultimate argument ender for all of eternity. "We beat you three years in a row." "Well yeah, but we saved Fansville with the COVID vaccine sooo..." Another question about the vaccine (if they have it) is will they share it? If Fansville has a vaccine but refuses to share it they could possibly become a college football empire for 2020. State and Tech would be the only schools who would be playing a reliable schedule with no potential COVID changes (yes, they just play each other over and over but there would be no changes). They could snag the best TV slots, taking some of the money away from the Power 5, especially those who are not playing. It makes economic sense for Fansville to keep the vaccine to themselves, as they could rule college football for 2020 and establish themselves as a major factor moving forward.
ARE STATE AND TECH OPEN FOR IN PERSON CLASSES?
This is a very important question as it could impact the upcoming football season in Fansville. If State and Tech are open it could mean that Fansville has made great progress in slowing the spread of the virus, or it could just be a money grab like we've seen across America. It could also raise questions about amateurism in Fansville. If State and Tech are transitioned to remote learning only, but the football teams still play, what does that mean for the athletes? Do they even want to play football, or are they concerned about the risks of the virus? Are the athletes going to take this opportunity to end amateurism in Fansville? Is amateurism even a thing in Fansville? The entire economy of Fansvile could hinge on this issue of whether State and Tech are having in person education or not. It is paramount that this question is answered.
IS THE REST OF FANSVILLE OPEN? RESTAURANTS, GYMS, BARS, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ETC?
We need to know how the town of Fansville has recovered from the virus, and the answers to this question will go a long ways towards telling us what phase of reopening Fansville is in. We need to know if the children are back in the Fansville public schools. Online school might inflate student grades allowing for more kids to get into State and Tech, but in person school would put students at a greater risk for contracting the virus We need to know if the bars are back to serving Dr. Pepper, and if residents will be able to watch State and Tech play at these establishments. If the bars are open, do they have an earlier curfew? Are the gyms open so Fansville residents can get in shape for the upcoming season? Tailgate season (if they're allowing such things) is right around the corner in Fansville, and it is important that the residents are in shape for the season.
IS EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF DR. PEPPER AN EFFECTIVE CURE FOR COVID-19?
Maybe Fansville doesn't have a vaccine but the constant drinking of Dr. Pepper is a treatment for COVID-19. This still puts Fansville in a great spot regarding the spread of the virus, as all of the citizens are avid drinkers of the 23 flavor soda. If drinking Dr. Pepper can drastically lessen the severity of cases, then Fansville can be significantly less concerned about the spread of the virus and quickly build up a herd immunity to it. If this is the case, expect life in Fansville to be a lot closer to normal than our lives currently are.
DID BIG FAN BRING COVID-19 TO FANSVILLE?
When we last saw Fansville Big Fan was terrorizing the town. Yes, he was defeated, but did he bring the virus to Fansville. It is a distinct possibility as shortly after Big Fan's arrival was when lock down and quarantine began. If so, Big Fan hurt Fansville in a lot more ways than just causing damage and destruction. He hurt the health of the citizens, the local economy, the ability for students to receive a formal education, and the potential football season. If Big Fan brought COVID-19 to Fansville then he is a bigger enemy than anyone could've imagined.
