  2. The current IHME models state that Tennessee will have zero new deaths per day starting May 12th. At that point, temperatures will be above 80 degrees. Is it possible that it might return in November? Sure. But no way you cancel High School football with zero deaths, probable treatments, and a bunch of possible scenarios. Also we are finding out that Covid19 is not as deadly as previously thought and that there might be herd immunity by August anyway. One more thought, if you are on Social Security, Medicare, or Disability, you can always quarantine yourself as you are at a higher risk. Playing football and attending games are not mandatory.

  4. Not trying to sway anyone's opinion just providing food for thought Well its kind of a big deal if you break down a couple of data points. People will latch onto the idea that the flu kills more people in a year than the COVID-19 virus does. Well statistically since we don't have years of data to project COVID-19 numbers lets project on what we do know. Seasonal flu kills 1 in 1,000 people where as current data on COVID-19 is estimated to kill 10 in 1,000. So COVID-19 is deadlier than the Flu as of right now. The Flu death rate is 0.01% but COVID-19 death rate in the US is about 1.5% (8.4% in Italy but they play that brand of football where they frown on using your hands on the ball so lets stick to the US numbers) According to the CDC numbers reported from 2/1/2020 to 4/11/2020 there have been 5,228 Flu deaths and 13,130 COVID-19 deaths. COVID-19 is also more infectious than the flu. With the flu the average person will infect about 1.3 persons whereas with COVID-19 that number is around 2.25 people. As an individual it doesn't seem like a big difference but over a 90 day period that one person by spreading the infection ends up infecting 2,184,164 people. That same scenario with COVID-19 infects just short of 4,000,000 people. On 22/01/2020 the CDC reported 1 COVID-19 case in the US, and as of 18/04/2020 there were 720,630 cases and every day is more than the day reported before. The most alarming part to me about the COVID-19 virus is that it is reported to initially be an animal virus and at some point last year mutated and was passed by animal to a human where it mutated again and is now passed person to person. This evolution through natural selection could prove to be difficult to get ahead of initially but like so many other virus outbreaks only time will prove if we acted appropriately. Just for Context here are some US Virus events for comparison. Remember 1 reported case in January this year and we have 13,130 in about 3 months 1793 Yellow Fever between August 1 and November 9.approximatley 5,000 deaths 1906-1907 Typhoid fever approximately 10,771 deaths 1918-1920 Spanish Flu approximately 675,000 deaths (BTW it wasn't until 1942 that we developed a vaccine) “mother of all pandemics” "Life in much of America came to a standstill in October 1918 as municipalities shuttered public gathering places such as schools, churches, theaters and saloons" 1921-1925 Diphtheria approximately 15,520 deaths 1916-1955 Polio approximately 3,145 deaths

  6. Not many. I think its 6-7 starters from last year. Last seasons senior class was pretty loaded up with athletes. We have some athletes in the lower classes just not very many started because of the senior class being so large. I think they will get better towards the end of the season. Coaching staff seems to always find a way to get them ready to play and I think we will have a solid team. Losing so much due to graduation makes it extremely difficult to get a whole new batch of kids ready to play Region 7 ball. Let all just hope we get to have a football season with all of the stupid that going on right now.

  7. Hope all is well in Maryville and every other part of the state. Batman's family is anywhere from Kingsport and Greeneville on out to the west coast. I talked to BVD the other day and we agreed that just watching another football game might be a while . I hate this for all of us and I'm guilty of saying things to the younger folks like this.Your grandfather's were ask to fight in wars and all your asked to do is stay at home and play videogames.I know it's not easy and can remember when Batman was young .When talking to someone on the phone that was in New York the other day,I was also reminded of how this is a fight we must all take very seriously until better days come back and we can all go watch those great high school programs like the Red Rebels again ! Stay safe football fans and let's all try to protect our older loved ones .

  9. You can't keep pushing it back without hurting basketball. Most basketball teams will have played over half their schedule by Jan. 1. And there is no good solution because of the varying numbers in regions. It is time to realize that some will get virus (like flu) and get sick but few will die except those with underlying conditions and the elderly. We can't wait til there is no one getting it. We can go 15 mph on interstate and cut all deaths in travel but no one wants that. It is time to live again. And I have no problem with those who want to shelter themselves in. Use common sense and we will get through this.

  11. The 5 classes would be fine just wish they would look into Ga. playoff system and create a bracket. 1seeds and 2seeds play at home and others traveland play teams they usually don't get to play. Lets have a playoff and not have the same teams play each other the first few rounds, this would build some interest.

  12. Tn has a bad name in the recruiting world for QB’s. Not many go to next level and do well. Recruiters claim its the offenses hs coaches run in TN. Very little open passing games like in Tx-Callie-GA-FL
