COVID-19 2020 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SEASON

[Sidelinehustler]

Looks like this thread is going to get the death penalty too.

What are the thoughts? Will we revert back to a normal, 10-game schedule? Or one of the shortened versions? I kind of think we are leaning back towards the full schedule.

Posted this in the other thread, but almost every bordering State has announced football to start on time.

Bama also has some good guidelines...

This article linked on CoachT says MS will probably be delaying the season at best

No we can talk about politics as long as we all agree. But when someone starts challenging that point of view with actual facts instead foxnews facts. You all start saying we need to stick to football. 
 

Fact, the reason why we are in this mess is cause we Don Not Have A National Plan To Combat Covid-19 Period. You know why we don’t have a national plan. Because Trump thinks any plan will damage his chances of getting re-elected. 

We get it, you don't like President Trump.  Go to MSNBC.com to vent.  Political talk is unnecessary on these boards.

So if football gets the exemption and next week becomes heat aclimization week. Pads the following week. We should be able to start on time right?

It seems like that could be the case. Makes logical sense.

Remember that time when the President ordered a halt to travel from China and other trouble spots and Nancy Pelosi and the reest of the dems called him racist and encouraged her constituents to come to Chinatown and have a huge street party? 

Yeah, didn't thin so.  

POTUS will be fine.  It's the dems who need negative covid news to dominate the news cycle.  Continuing to hide their candidate in his own basement isn't going to work.

Good article. Love Louisiana's (LHSAA) response to the legislator trying to delay football!

This is the problem with a regular start time. Some local districts are not going to want to start tackle football when cases are going up.  Those local districts might might be more than happy to hold starting practice until August 31st in hopes of cases going down.  I think that you might see some districts balk at a normal start time and cancel out of fear/concern. An abbreviated season might be a compromise that helps local districts feel more at ease with giving  the go ahead to start actual football.  Remember that just because the Governor and the TSSAA say you can play football the final decision lies with the individual school districts and just like Governor Lee's decision and the TSSSA's decisions are being driven by liability concerns so will local districts.  Lower case numbers, hospitalization numbers and deaths would help ease those concerns.

*Please keep your political opinions out of this.
