How will this effect us? Will it?

If we have players test positive, then yes. If not, then no.

So they don't worry about the "contact tracing" part of it?

Based on an Orlando Sentinel article, it SOUNDS like those players tested positive last week and did not travel. But it's not 100% clear.

They will retest A&M players and if we're negative great, if positive players wont play. Simple as that

In a semi-related matter, anyone notice Missouri vs Vandy was postponed?

"No. 10 Florida has five new COVID-19 cases.
The school reported its latest testing results Tuesday, four days before the Gators host defending national champion LSU.
Coach Dan Mullen praised the way his team has handled coronavirus protocols Monday, avoiding a major outbreak with the highly transmissible virus.

"If you look at what we've been able to do ... I think we're a model of safety of what we've been doing during this time period,'' Mullen said. "I'm really proud of how we've handled everything and how safe we've been with everything we're doing and all the precautions we've had in place during this time."
The team had 21 positive cases once players returned to campus in late May."

I'm not worried given some of our tackling. Barely touched them.

Was going to make the same joke...if it is their WRs, we've got no worries. Our guys may not have been within 6 ft all day.

Florida canceled football activities. Up to 19 Players positive.

ETA: paused activities

As for contact tracing, if players are symptomatic then you only really focus on contacts in the 48 hours prior to symptoms starting so we'd probably be out of that window.

Seems fairly aligned to our luck...beat a top 5 team...cancelled due to COVID-19

Between him saying this right before they got shut down, and him wanting the Swamp filled immediately, its increasingly obvious Mullen is living in a fantasy world.

Vandy is down to 53 players which is below either the SEC. min or the NCAA min

No they aren't. They think they have to pull them down every time they talk. That or they walk around with their nose sticking out.

All this makes me wonder -- what would Listeater eat in a Covid-19 world? Wonder if that list would be safe?

You missed the joke. Keep wearing your mask in between bites in your own home.

All I know is I trust the Florida student newspaper writer who broke this story a hell of a lot more than a school coached by a guy who when he was at Miss St once tried to walk out of a presser and threatened to stop talking to media after reporters asked him if two players were injured that he had just seemingly implied were hurt.

At least we beat them BEFORE Covid. Imagine if they got Covid after, this win would never have happened.

Bad news. We will likely see some Ags test positive and people will discredit our win due to Florida players being sick on Saturday but not knowing it yet. Bummer.

Hell football players are more than reasonably fit, though some lineman are pretty fat, and 18 to 22 years old, play though it.

Basically. Will give haters and pollsters reason to discredit the win.

I bet the UF players went to parties Sat night back in Gainsville...

19?? so... they aren't even trying to take precautions right?

I guess we're about to find out how much the act of playing football may or may not spread this thing...

The Titans didn't seem to spread it to the Vikings. I know it's a different sport but there wasn't team-team spread in baseball either that I know of.

This thing is really hard to spread if you are moving around in a wide open space.

Odds this thing can be directly tied to the opposite team is unrealistic, even if it does happen so likely will never know.

Good point- here's hopin!

And I guess in years past when we heard of entire teams getting the flu, it never really seemed to hit the team they just played

A really old couple came into the doctor's waiting room. Both on walkers.

He: Pull your mask up.
She: I will

He: Pull your mask up.
She: I will

He: Pull your mask up.
She: I will

I had to leave before she pulled her mask up.

Atleast the Arkansas game should be safe unless Arkansas gets it
