We have thousands of TN players, parents, coaches, and administrators in limbo. Make a decision. 

I don't know what communication exists between TSSAA, the State Board of Ed, or the governor's office. But if there's an executive order in place that prevents you from doing your job then someone should be asking is this going to be extended or when's it going to end. Is there anything we can do to affect your decision? What info do you need from us?  The day after the Executive order was extended schools received a statement from State Ed Dept saying the order does NOT apply to schools. Why does the same order apply to school sports? 

Good post.

Even in that thread its stated kids aren't in a high % of danger more or less. "For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two

I preface this post with I am not opposed to having a football season. I want a football season.

Football is not school. There is no social distancing in football. Yes, I know kids won’t social distance in the hallways. However, anyone that has been a part of a football program for any amount of time realizes this. It’s not a sanitary environment no matter how much you clean and use safety measures. Ask any coach who has ever had MRSA get started in a locker room. Stomach bug, flu, etc. 

Once again, this is not an opinion about whether or not to have a season. But that’s what the powers that be are thinking. On a side note, I realize we are all very concerned about sports. The truth is the vast majority of the people in the state of Tennessee are much more worried about somewhere to send their kids so they don’t have to find someone to watch them while they are at work.

All that is not necessary if Lee amends his executive order. He's waiting on TSSAA's "plan of action" before deciding. Why wasn't this plan created in May or June? Why didn't the governor reach out to the state's high school sports governing body and give them a heads up about his concerns or requirements?

I would agree that the governor should have communicated to TSSAA but TSSAA was already in a no contact executive order before it was extended. TSSAA should have known there were going to have to be guidelines in place for football to be played and for the executive order to be amended. Not saying nothing and zero communication never works.

Good news about California is it won’t stop football around here. We may not have it but California won’t be the reason.

I know a little 1A school in Blount Co. who is on the phone with some California players as we speak. Great selling point, play ball here in the Fall, and move back put West and play in the spring.

I kid, I kid.

      Yeah they both should be good games whoever matches up with who. Wartburg has beaten Oliver Springs all 4 times they’ve played this year but they have been close games. I believe Wartburgs first sectional appearance was last year when they went to North Greene. Good luck to you all!

      Farragut Blue VS Grey game… oh boy

      By Elias287 · Posted

      What did they do this year? Every other year, I’ve gone to one. It’s been a little scrimmage and then a bunch of games like a quarterback throwing challenge, O line versus D line, push-up challenge, etc.    But not surprised, nothing new that the program has been on the decline since they lost their recruiting middle school coach. The baseball coach still does his fair share, but he recruits good baseball players. Not good football players, and decent baseball players, definitely nothing like the middle school coach could do, he left for a middle school job down near Cleveland high school a few years back.

      Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.

      We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.
