Many have claimed that the 2020 College Football season will be unprecedented. However, college football has already been through a pandemic-riddled season in 1918 when the "Spanish" Flu ravaged the country. Gabe and Alex dive deep into the 1918 season to see what it could teach us about the upcoming season in the age of COVID. They also theorize that Jim Harbaugh could be fomenting war in Canada to get the Big 10 season going, breakdown Georgia Tech's amazing run under John Heisman during World War I, and talk about Ohio State's disappointing season a century ago.
