ChineseFlu Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 With Lee just extending the no contact through end of July football is over this fall and I am outraged. What can we do? Should we go looting our local Wal-Mart. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooWhoWiseMan Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 The order was through August 29 I thought? Which means schools starts after Labor Day like the good ole days. I think it is obvious that football will not start on time. Now the question becomes will it be moved to Spring or even Winter knocking out some of those sports 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets say best case scenario the order is lifted on August 29th. Football teams would not have had full practices so you must wait 2 to 3 weeks to get athletes acclimated. So you are not starting till the middle or end of September. Then you are looking at having to adjust schedules some regions have 7 to 9 teams so how do they get in full seasons. After today I began to lose hope and have started talking to my son his senior year football season may not happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioneer42 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Going to be bad when other states are playing football and TN is not. Because it will happen. It is based on governors and all won’t go Lee’s route. Better get your protest signs out. Other states will be playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could say that is the best case scenario but we don’t really know that or what the worst case scenario is for that matter. None of us know what will happen in the coming weeks. I learned a long time ago not to worry about things I can’t control. We all just need to sit back and wait and see how this unfolds and not automatically expect the worst. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarneySox2007 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Saturday Night I went to the local Dollar General at 9 p.m. and must of been at least 40 people in that place and I didn't see one person with a mask at all and even the employee's. As I was getting ready to get in line I could hear a a big lard azz woman coughing her head off in an isle over from me with no mask. There were three people in front of me as I stood 6 feet behind them and two younger guys came up from behind me and stood right on my back and I told them either get in front of me or back off so they took my invitation and went ahead which I didn't care but they knew I was mad. Soon as they did a woman who heard the whole thing go down moved right on up and took their place. I couldn't wait to get out of there before somebody hit my go to jail switch. When I got to my truck and sat there a minute as I cooled down and I thought of how irresponsible that whole thing was it came clear to me this isn't the only place this is going on. Everyone has let their guard down and my first thought was this will be the end of high school football for 2020. Those that know me well are on my facebook page and saw where i posted on this incident Sunday morning only to be met with I'm not wearing a mask and all the other nonsense they've heard from who knows who. I knew from the beginning there wouldn't be a football season in 2020 because there would be an extended period when the rush of idiots came out of hiding. I'm a realist and know you can't depend on most human beings for anything so what happened with the extended period out to August 29th is no surprise to me at all. As we get closer to that time we'll see another extension and have to make plans to move football to spring. Hopefully they can come up with a cure for this stuff in the meantime so life can return to normal. If not I have doubts even on a 2021 season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
