COVID-19 2020 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SEASON


Recommended Posts

Well Blount County just allowed a big fair at the local mall, you know the kind that rolls into town with a sixty year old scrambler that gets taken apart and put back together with an allen wrench 50 times a year by a meth head with no teeth that loves to eat sticks of butter deep fried. Now the first week back to school a kid at Alcoa Middle tested positive and so has the Mayor of Blount County's wife of all people that should not have allowed that fair to happen especially with all these numbers getting higher and school around the corner.

We hope so. I don’t know if there is proof that they help much at all. It’s the current media narrative though, so it’s assumed that they help. The interesting thing to find out would be how many folks who have been wearing masks still get the virus. I’m not sure if we’ll ever find out those true numbers however.

Seems to be putting something instead of nothing between your mouth and others has to help somewhat.

Like I said, we all certainly hope so. Problem is...so many people don’t wear them properly and touch them continuously, so germs still spread regardless. Also, some masks may be helpful and some may not be. It’s a false sense of security in many ways. With the contagious nature of this, you’d have to honestly think the masks are not helping too much...otherwise, why are protests and mass marches not condemned if everyone is so at risk in big crowds?! Mass chaos.

It is unfortunate but what happened with the Miami Marlins will not help peoples opinions.  You would think major league baseball could control an outbreak.

Yup. Didn't even take an entire week, sadly. This could certainly be a one-off situation, so I think the reaction from MLB was reasonable. But if this happens to another team in the next week or so, I don't know if baseball will continue this season.

I doubt the TSSAA is watching, but the NBA, NHL, NFL, and college football are all paying close attention.

If a fart/odor can travel thru your undies and your pants, could it travel thru a cloth msk?  

 

This debate again...

PSA - Airborne viruses aren't like farts/odors  :lol:  They don't magically travel through thin air. They require a motive force (e.g., water droplets, mucous, etc). Seriously, why are we still debating this?

If you doubt this look up "olfactory epithelium".

Thanks for fast response.   What particles are smaller an airborne V or a gas order?  Could wind move/blow like a force?  Fart from a t.end or sneezing from a nose, it’s still coming out/forced out by the body. Water droplets from a v or from a wet odor.  Have a great day everyone. I’ll hang up an listen.

    • You haven seen much football if the Blackman vs Bowling Green game u speak of is the worst officiated game you have ever seen.  Everyone on here swears Blackman was cheated, but i just can not agree.  Rewatched it on youtube, and there are a couple Blackman fans near the camera that out to be ashamed of the crap that came out of there mouths.  I dont know much about Blackman, but i didnt get a very good impression of them having much class by there entrance to the field, and instead of running on to there sideline running to the other teams sideline to cut them off when they went to run to there sideline.  Then before much is even happened in the game fans near the camera swearing they are being cheated.  Seemed like a fairly good called game till Blackman started losing there composure.  Embarassing hearing the blacmn fans making fun of someone on the other team possibly getting hurt, and calling players on the other team a dumbass.  The reason they lost thatgame was because they gave that necarious fant kid a 5 yard cushion over, and over, and over, and everytime he would catch it and get another 7 after the catch.  3rd or 4th and 1 lets give the best player on the other team a 5 yard cusion, and let him catch it when we need a stop even though he has gotten 12 yards on that play repeatedly.  Then the last touchdown on 4th down was a completly different play, but great throw, and great route and catch by fant for the last td they did not defend it very well, and it would have been a blackman win if they make that 4th, and long stop, but they didnt cover the best player on the field very well, and he caught it with the closest player 3 yards away from him.  Just give Bowling Green credit for making the plays to win.  We look stupid constantly saying they got cheated.  They straight up got beat, but no shame,bowling Green had a heck of a team.  People just dont want to give any credit to the other team when they are beat especially when its out of state.  Ive talked alot of crap to fans of kentucky teams, but we get ridicilous too often on here.  I remember the Union City fans saying how they would run it down the other teams throat playing a kentucky team.  They claimed we will run it up the middle all night, and those early 3 yard gains will turn into 12 yard gains by the 4th quarter cause thats how we always wear other teams down, and always win.  They proceded to get there #### whooped 2 years in a row then dropped that team from there schedule, and i have to give those kentucky fans credit they called it before the first year they played.  They said we will beat Union City these 2 years, and they will not renew because Union City has done this in the past before.  Went to one of those games, and the other team ran defensive lineman in every few plays, and by the 4th quarter it was union city that was wore out, and there rushing game failed late.  Instead of giving the other team credit for stopping there run game late they cried that we was gassed after bragging that we always gas the other team out by the 4th they couldnt handle that another team smartly threw fresh bodies in most of the night, and kept there starters much fresher for late in the game.  They basically put backups in on half the plays, and settled with giving up alot of yards to keep the 1s fresh for the 4th.  Instead of giving them credit the excuses came well we where gassed if we would have played later in the season we would have won its hot, and early in the year, so thats why we lost its all just excuses.  It aint like there is a rule that says UC couldnt rotate some in on there oline, and rotate a couple running backs so there starters would b fresh for the end.  They got beat because the other team smartly used depth, plus they couldnt stop the other teams offense.  We cant give credit to the other team when we lose we must find an excuse mentality espececially if its an out of state team there is no way anyone from another state in paticular kentucky can be as good or better than us.  After just watching that Blackman game they just straight up got beat.
    • What’s sad Barney is the cards in the deck are stacked against them.  With the success the MAVS are having just down I-75, any talented players are heading that way. I always said what the Price twins did there was second to none, making the playoffs and winning a playoff game is the ceiling there. On a great year, maybe a q-final appearance but that is a big stretch.  Finding a coach there is very tough. I feel for the new coach, he’s in a very bad situation and I’m not sure he even realizes it. I understand he wants to be positive and have hope, but I don’t see them scratching a win. Maybe he will prove me wrong.  
    • I agree, 2A is the only class in thet state where the west side of the bracket is tougher, not taking anything away from Marion county at all but they should run that side for years to come
    • Should be a big week in Dayton coming up with the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
    • AE has a lot of new transfers and a very good incoming freshman class to mess with the current players.  That's why I'm saying don't sleep on AE.  Many are thinking they can't get back to their winning ways but I think this 2025 team will open a lot of eyes and let the state know, AE won't be an easy win anymore.
