I heard the Assistant to the Assistant regional TSSAA  man said that SOME schools will have full capacity stadiums while SOME will not.Told Mark Packer that Monday.So it looks as if football is a go "for now" and some will get back to somewhat normal.Im expecting us smaller schools to be the ones to get back faster than the bigger ones.

If the media keeps up with the ITS GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY I look for them to pull the plug.I have alot of friends in the medical field that are saying BS to alot of the "positive tests"!!We will never know the truth.

That's what I'm feeling! Another move by the liberal D's to garner more control....And yes, its bull....Not ONE of those experts came out to demand rioters and protesters stay home; Not one threat from a D governor or arrest or citation for a gathering of 10 or more, and that told me all I needed to know! 

I will say this, it is entertaining to see these lefty elites (who want police--law and order--abolished) scream for police help when they get attacked and wonder where law enforcement is SMH

None of the teams from this era could compete with the teams of today.  We now have so much better training facilities and methods, conditioning, nutrition and supplements are better understood, plus just the decades of football styles and plays from which to draw.   Guys playing today are much bigger and faster.

However.....    I would dare say that most of the young men in this picture had done a day's worth of farm chores before they WALKED to school that morning, they had their football practice and picture pose, then WALKED back home to finish up another day's worth of chores before bedtime.

So of the 2 groups, which one is really the TOUGHEST?        Interesting huh......

I'd say this was 6 man football at the time of this photo.

I'd say this 55 group was pretty tough.  Heck, they ain't even wearing face mask.  You had to be tough in those days.

Much tougher back in the day, Boys worked like men from an early age and even fun time was completely different. Couch was not the favorite place,kids stayed outside and got a lot of physical activity.  Apples and oranges.

While the 55 kids couldn't win against today's teams,  they  would leave a lasting impression on today's kids
