Tennessee Football Cancelled

Spring season in 2021 with entirely new teams. All walkons. Completely open tryouts on every campus. 1 season. 10 games. Maximum glory.

Regular scholarship play resumes as normal in Fall of 2021.

 

"Now-ow-ow....Introducing-cing-cing....Meyton-on-on Panning-ing-ing"

 

I’m going to re enroll, start at corner, and break my leg on the first play. Cannot wait.

 

Chris Fowler has some interesting comments on this year's cfb season. Slightly optimistic, but mentions the possibility of a Feb to June season.

 

They’re in the stage of asking the coaches the shortest amount of time needed to have their team ready to play.

6 weeks seems to be the general consensus.

Honestly I think this is good for the high school level. Football doesn’t need to be a year long job for kids.

 

The major league sports are about collectively undergo antibodies testing together.

I know, because I was asked to be in one of the groups that will be testing athletes. Don't know much beyond that at the moment.

Hopefully it reveals that the large swaths of the population already have the antibodies and we can worry less about all of this.

 

Glad to hear this is in the works

 

Which has been the hope since the media started giving us death counts all day every day. Half truths and media sensationalizing hopefully have led to overhype.

 

The truth is not half-truths.

 

No shit

 

I laughed, because we clearly each see the "truth" and "half truth" to be different things.

 

Gotta give context to the numbers, IP...

Yeah it was 20k deaths, but it was 20k WITH the country on lockdown for 3 weeks.

 

wonder how far back they’d push the NFL draft in that scenario.

suppose you’re Trevor Lawrence, now 3 years removed from high school. Do you risk even playing in the spring season?

 

Hell. No.

 

It would be reckless at that point.

 

Important to remember where we were in April to set up context for why what's happening now is so [uck fay]ing awesome.

I hope what Clemson is doing sets the standard for reintroducing athletes back to campus. Plenty of room for setbacks and outbreaks, but lots of reason for optimism.

So UT is modifying their fall class schedule so no students return after Thanksgiving break?

Better just skip out of conference play.

 

Yeah and classes continue during what was fall break and on Labor Day

 

Have heard rumblings of a 10 game schedule this season with 8 conferences games and all FCS games axed.
