You need to tell that to the TSSAA. I understand where you guys are coming from, but until they cancel it it is in the back of your mind that they have to be ready.if they decide to play. I thought when they had the meeting last Tuesday that they were going to cancel and they didn’t. So you have to assume they will play until it is cancelled.

You know they have been bombarded with emails and texts to not cancel. As much heat that they get during the year they are trying to make it look as if they are doing everything that they can to keep the heat off of them. Pull the curtain back to see the real OZ and move on.

Probably are right and seems like a good analysis. I know one thing. Every body is home right now in Gibson County.

I am a left of center Democrat who hates Socialism. I, in no way consider Bernie Sanders a Democrat. He himself has declared himself has an Independent for many years. He is just using the Democrats to move his agenda forward. Please, take notice the Democrat Party through many State Primaries have rejected both Sanders and Warren for a more Moderate Joe Biden. That is a provable fact if anyone thinks it is Fake News.

However, many on here have labeled me a Socialist / Idiot and at 56 years of age I am too old to care what people think of me and do not want to take the name calling fight on.

I'm with you on the Democratic party and the socialists piggybacking them. Our generation realizes the difference, and vote accordingly... what worries me about the gen x'ers, gen z'ers, and some of the millennials, is that they haven't seen the practical application of socialism, and what the utopian society advertised quickly evolves into once put into practice.

They're doing what they always do BigEd. Putting forth to the public what they'll catch less heat for, when they probably realize by now that at the very best there's a thread thin shot that basketball and the spring sports will play another game in the 2019-2020 season. I'd have more respect if they'd just put out a definite deadline dependent upon schools reconvening and leave it at that.

If you are paying attention to what is going on, and it does not appear the TSSAA is, there is no way any tournaments will take place.  It is a tragedy, but most likely reality.  

I'll give them credit for not going ahead and canceling it when they met a week or so ago. We were still in the early stages of this, and it seemed premature to cancel stuff a few months out. However, with the recent developments of school being out until at least late April, they need to revisit their decision.

Sports like baseball and softball are a little less reliant on conditioning and could get up in running in time for Spring Fling still, but every other sport likely wouldn't be able to. Basketball will require at least a few weeks of practice, and in my opinion- some sort of warm up scrimmages. Soccer is heavily reliant on conditioning, plus they haven't played much of their season. With the way the timeline is going, you'd struggle to get all of the qualification stuff taken care of in time for State, even under the best case scenario. Track is strictly conditioning, so the same applies; however, it is a little easier for kids to stay in shape on their own for track.

I hate it for these kids. As someone who went to state in multiple sports, I recognize just how significant those achievements are and how hard these kids have worked. For the Seniors in spring sports, they've had their entire year taken from them and that will burn. However, in looking out for what is best for these kids, I don't see any way that they'll be able to get them enough time to get in shape to avoid injury. 

I commend the TSSAA for trying, but it is time to start investigating how they'll handle not finishing the basketball championship.

    • 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 .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
