🏈 Not optimistic about football (Sankey expectx final decision by late July)

A $4B business with so much interest will make it hard to cancel it. With that said the NCAA tournament and major professional sports were cancelled so I guess anything is possible. Personally I think they will give it a go and see how it goes. Would be a nice distraction from the current events that are consuming people. Would be good for our mental health.

Absolutely agree. The NCAA tourney cancellation was shocking considering where the world was just a couple weeks before hand.

I'm into the idea someone mentioned previously... Football in the Spring. Our state high school association has floated that idea, but again, no one really has any true direction on where this goes.

I'd just rather see real football with prepared teams, healthy rosters, and legit crowds. Logistics will be a bitch to change, but we are in unchartered territory!

Our old neighborhood in Texas is requiring residents sign a liability waiver for pool access. They still have yet to open the pool and residents are not very happy.

Will fans have to sign a liability waiver?

 

[pignjig17]

Has gotten to the point I really don't care if we have sports of any kind. Especially baseball

I suspect. OSU has their players and staff members signing a pledge about behavior and consequences.

Especially Major League baseball

I was really looking forward to seeing the Tide this season. Even more so next season.

I was talking about Bama Baseball.

You can have you winter and leaves ... and when winter comes, I'll still be golfing and fishing.

There will be football this Fall (in my opinion). I think the biggest issue is how they manage the crowds. Will stadiums be at 50% capacity? 60% capacity? 30% capacity? If so, how does each school assign the ticket orders? No group will get 100% of the games. How do they space out the attendees?

 

[TerryP]

AAU tryouts are back around the SE as well as a few tournaments being held.

Ok....even-steven....
I’ll take the fall hiking n riding...

 

[50+yeartidefan]

And fishing pretty good here too....a little different than yours

@50+yeartidefan

Hiking? You got me there, but only because you're not looking out for 'gators. The swamps around here offer some very beautiful views.

Biking? I WILL NOT ride a motorcycle in Charleston. There are too many idiots on the road here; seen daily, hourly. That said, I do bike about 30-35 miles a week.

Truetrue....no gators.....but nice size rattlers and copperheads... black bear on occasion... did Forestry studies at Hobcaw Barony ( i know...Clemson) and had Leaf River and Strong River swamps when i was with Forest Service in Mississippi...swamps have their own beauty...for sure.... ( except cottonmouths) ...
Loved working in them...

Motorcycles...well.....I hate traffic when riding.... but dangers ..with the idiots driving and mobile phones...are inherent..... but.......... well.....

But 50+yeartidefan you have to be around all of those Vile people.... Nothing is worth that 365 days of the year.

I saw a picture of a black bear crossing Long Point Road in Mt Pleasant last week. Rattlers, Copperheads, and Water Mocs...see them ALL the time and that's not when hiking.

One morning a few weeks ago I was biking around the neighborhood and saw a Copperhead that was roughly 3'- 3.5' in length...good size body, right? I turned my bike around and went back to look...watched it for a second or two and a Chevy 2500 Max came down the street...he saw what I was looking at, gunned the motor and ran over the snake with his front tire. Threw that bastard up in the sky about 15' or so.

D.E.A.D.

Thats a dandy size creature.... thats a big copperhead....
the bad ones are the 12-18 inch ones...that you dont see til late...very late....
45 years as a forester.... i have seen a few...
Most ( not all) snakebites involve one of two things....
.....alcohol
.....trying to kill the creature

I don't know what tomorrow will bring so who knows about September? Maybe a crazy thought but many of the young bucks shake this thing with little to no issues and I know there are few exceptions but most at this age remain asymptomatic. I think I would rather most of my players develop herd immunity now and not this Fall. I'm no doctor but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
