I'm thinking if Forrest were in the running you'd be singing a different tune.

Outdoor masks are ludicrous. TSSAA honors the governors decree but overrides county mayors who disagree with a mandate. I bet some county mayors step up and say masks are optional in their counties. M

I have talked to two different director of schools and they both said there ain't gonna be football this fall.  I'm afraid this is the TSSAA stringing everyone along again.  My one question is what is the drop dead date?  If we get to September and the order is extended then what?

I don't think that the Governor will ultimately be responsible if we don't play. A close friend of mine spoke with him personally after the TSSAA submitted their earlier request to be their own entity (as colleges and NFL), and he said that it felt as if they didn't want to accept liability on their own, but put forth the impression that they had tried to the public. He (Gov.) said that it was poorly worded, and looked to be quickly thrown together. He also reassured my bud that he would make every effort for athletics to resume this fall.

That is going to be a serious financial hit for booster clubs. Everyone is making a huge issue out of having to wear a mask when the survival of many programs depends on concession revenue. 

Most people here know my thoughts on some of the restrictions, so I wont rehash them... I will say that my opinions were stated during discussions/negotiations for measures and restrictions in order to have a season FOR THE KIDS. My revised position is this... whether in line with, or directly opposed to my personal opinions, I will attempt to follow mandates to a "T" and support whatever measures are necessary to play the games... period. 

PLAY BALL!!!

My take:

Some of the "rules" are insane.   Good luck making a 3 year old wear a mask.   The games are OUTDOORS!  If seating is limited as stated, then natural social distancing should take care of the need for masks.   Concessions stands?   Why do you need them if a mask is required??  Who can eat or drink thru a mask??   I feel the TSSAA leadership went overboard with the gameday side of it.   I don't have an issue with the temperature check mandates.   A temporal scanner is quick and easy.   

Again, my biggest issue is the masks.  If we're in a gym without the ability to distance, then yes, maybe issue masks.   Open air bleachers is crazy.

One thing I haven't seen addressed is the 66 to 75 percent reduction is attendance.   You may as well say no more travel allowed to watch your kids.   Home teams will buy up the allotment of seating prior to the games and spread out over both sets of bleachers.   Tell little Johnny's mom she'll only see half his games!   Good luck.

Why on earth would Childress state that they will maintain these restrictions even if the Governors office doesn't enforce them?   Is that his place??   I'm confused.   Shouldn't the individual counties/administrators make that determination?    Alot of things didn't set well with me from this meeting..

Maybe I am wrong but didn't  the game day guidelines come from TSSAA  working with the Governor's office.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
