Goldenpride Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 17 minutes ago, ChineseFlu said: it will be a pleasant surprise if it does. Too many programs delaying starts with many teams that are having trouble because of out of state teams are delaying start time. A lot of states are going to spring for football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEdMo Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 The next 2 weeks will tell the tale. If there is an increase with cases with schools starting back then it will all be shut done. I dont Think it should but everyone is being Chicken Little and the sky is falling. I am A person in high risk with numerous underlining health issues and I am Not as scared as all these people. God knows my time. I take Precautions but I move Through life. I really Hope people will pump the breaks on this issue and let the kids play ball. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drunken Sailor Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 I will be surprised if we make it halfway through to be honest. Too many places that have already started that are seeing numbers escalate quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurplePower68 Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 As bad as I hate to say it, I don't believe we will finish the season. Hopefully I'm wrong but odds are against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TryNotToSuck Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 If the TSSAA were to follow their original plan and start the season on September 18, then I would say yes that we could potentially finish a season. Saying that, I believe that playing games in August, is a huge mistake. Everyone wants instant reaction. I guarantee you that teams would be playing tomorrow if they could. I know that Shelby and Davidson Counties are coming out and say no football until September, but there are going to be tons of school districts that will rush and potentially screw things up. That's my worst fear. In addition, the players aren't ready either, they just aren't. I know the Milan and Peabody game has a lot at stake, especially if the current status of what's going on at both programs. But both of schools are a "football first" school and will play that game. I can't think of anything to persuade both programs to not play. Personally, we should be going with the college route and play a "shorter season" (7-8 games). But, people are apparently starving so much for football that they're going to play and potentially screw this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have know idea what players your talking about but if you drive down hwy 72 just before the AL. Line you will 69 players who are absolutely ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not a valid argument. Three weeks of contact is plenty. Used to be that way for years. You ain’t gotta beat them to death for a month for kids to be ready physically. Only difference will be the first game or so may be a little sloppier from a technique and schematic standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
