DAY 31 of isolation...
Today is the day...I need to go to the grocery....kind of queasy about it....I have some chicken and ground beef left...but out of steak ( we have been chowing down on steak), coffee, half and half, lettuce, tomato, eggs, toothpaste, dish washing detergent and just a bunch of stuff...
It is pretty outside...blue sky, temps 30's this morning but 60's predicted for afternoon...we'll walk one of our trails. Earlier in the week, we followed the old trail that was part of the Trail of Tears as the Cherokee were marched from Fort Butler on the way to Tennessee and then on to Oklahoma.

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.
The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.
See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Re: Just Checking In.......
The athletes shouldn't be back to playing before school is back in session. That is just common sense to me.

Re: Just Checking In.......
Hope all is well with everyone....... I’m reading where there is much debate about the upcoming College Football Season. The topics are broad in their scope as to the whether’s, how’s and when’s with the revenues generated by football driving the conversations and discussions. That’s understandable considering those revenues fund the vast majority of College Athletic Departments. My question is this, are fans going to attend the games or will the schools be willing to simply settle for the TV dollars???

Re: Just Checking In.......
My guess is if they have to go fanless several sports at the schools will be cut, because football and basketball funds all other sports at schools.

Re: Just Checking In.......
I’m wondering even if the decision is made to have the season is some shape, form or fashion that includes fans..... will the fans show-up in numbers that would matter??? Meaning would enough fans show-up to cover the cost of setting up a stadium for a game??? I have no idea what that cost is or would be, but just looking around I would think it would be considerable.
My crew has decided not to attend this season, provided there’s no vaccine. There are just too many people in the stadium, restrooms, concession stands, parking lots, hotels, restaurants, bars, etc. Just don’t want to catch it and sureLy don’t want to give it to anyone...... and knowing that money is the primary driver when it comes to NCAA decision making, I’ll err on the side of caution on this one.

Re: Just Checking In.......
Outstanding views. If I make it down to Birmingham this summer I make make the trip over and check them out. I like the mountain courses. I've played several in Tennessee.

If fans are allowed they will come. I don't know if we will go or not. I go back and forth about how serious this thing could be. They use numbers based on what they are trying to justify. I just don't know if it was worth tanking the whole economy.

Yep, I figure you’ll right about the fans showing-up, it’ll be interesting to see how many do. Those TV dollars will be an influence to the, as Donovan might say, ‘Eunuchs’.
Hopefully, the right call was made on shutting things down....... as we know being Football Fans the call is made based on what’s believed at the time the decision needs to be made and if it works you’re a genius and if it doesn’t you’re a freakin’ idiot.
Right Derek????
