We see what happened to Basketball, could this spiral into Football Season?

I don't think it will affect regular season football.  I think as a whole, the over-reaction/hysteria will have passed, common sense will have prevailed and hopefully a cure/treatment will be in place.  Now for the spring sports that just started, and spring football...that's the question that's on my mind right now.

Losing spring football would be a slight inconvenience to some coaches but overall no big deal. Losing spring sports would be awful for the kids playing, especially seniors who have worked hard for 3 seasons to get to this point. My heart goes out to the kids who may completely lose their senior season of sports.

Amen.... I can't imagine how hard that would be thinking "man, we were really good.... we had a chance to be great and never got to find out". What if these Basketball kids don't get to finish this tournament they have battled and fought to get into?

 

Makes me sick for them.

 

BUT, I will add losing Spring Football is more important than a slight inconvenience .... Hopefully this panic blows over quickly and all kids get to do what they work so hard to do.

I dont know if it's that big of a deal.Greenback no Spring practice 4 out last 5 years.4 Championship appearances.Heck we dont even hit in practice dont have enough bodies to sacrifice.Thats been going on for 4 years.Its all about preparation off the field as much as on.We all will be just fine.H1N1 was much more of a problem when Obama was acting like a President.We didnt even get excited,over 60,000 deaths with that one.The media is really riding this one.

I can't envision this lasting into the 2020-2021 football season. I also don't think that TSSAA will restrict spring practice (as in a dead period), so it will probably be left up to the individual school districts whether their coaches are able to run spring practice as they see fit. Scrimmage games might be different, but I'd think that unless TSSAA takes the initiative to name spring scrimmages specifically as banned, there won't be a problem.

This is going to get worse before it gets better. Numbers will rise dramatically over the coming weeks, but I am hopeful that some of the actions in recent days will help to curtail that rise. Social media is not real life, but currently there are only two voices out there: "this is no big deal" guy and "we're all gonna die" guy. These generally represent the far wings of the political spectrum as well. I have no doubt he truth lies somewhere in between. People you know will be affected by this. If we can slow the spread enough to allow the number of severe cases to remain manageable, then we can keep the death rates low. I believe the sports and school restrictions will last longer than we would hope, but we will know for sure in about 2 weeks. To answer your original question: Regardless of the upcoming weeks' events, this thing will run its course well before fall football.

If spring football practice is eliminated this spring, will Tennessee do what some states that don't have spring practice allow?  "X" number of days during the summer, June and early July, to have padded practices in lieu of spring practice and in addition to summer 7 v. 7.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
