What's the word on players actually "sick" vs "positive"?

Feel bad for the players, especially those who were going to suit up for the last time.

I blame Calzada…. I kid!!!

Are any players actually sick, or did they just "test positive"?


If they tested positive within 3 days of the flight you cannot fly.

Wow.

Better safe than sorry.


Really? Football is more dangerous as a sport then Covid is to a football player.

Thanks Brandon.


We're not playing because we're scared to run our backups backups out there and get beat by 5 scores.

but all you need is a negative test to play, right? if you are vaccinated. i.e. no quarantine requirements.

this blows.

Yeah Fr. I'd much rather be given Covid than trotting out on an SEC field on Saturday in terms of risk

Well if that's not some bull****…

I figured something was up when the association canceled the office watch party on Facebook

85 scholarships, 7 we know have declared/left. Round up to 10 missing.

Puts us at 75, w/o counting walk-ons. Add back 10.

How many are out & for how long?

NFL has a 53 man roster, expanded practice squad for this year.

We can't make it work? How about move the game back a week?

Play the game.

At this rate we will have teams pulling out of games due to COVID forever.

COVID is here to stay regardless of what we do now whether we like it or not. Shutting things down and canceling things at this point is dumb.
COVID has always been here. Your government, China, bureaucrats, media, and politicians just found a way to use it as a weapon because the public has become ultra cowards and fear everything.

That's probably a good thing. We have a walk-on QB, and will be without our best RB, OL, DL, and DE.

After that joke of a game in Red Stick (RUSHING 3!), we don't need another loss added to this meh season.

Actually most of the players took the useless govt juice & we're still here…

After watching the backups play against South Carolina, I wasn't real hopeful in seeing them do well against Wake.

How many players hospitalized? I hope none of them die like so many other college football players that have died in the last 2 years. ..

CDC data shows the most common symptoms so far are cough, fatigue, congestion and a runny nose.

This sounds horrific. I can't imagine what they are going through. Glad they cancelled the bowl game.

Athlete survival is the most important thing right now.

Xi, Brandon's business parter, is responsible for all this. Remember that.

Thats what I tell my patients. Get busy living because this thing is here to stay. Take precautions if worried, but people need to get back to their lives.

Mississippi opted out of the A&M game that would have given the Aggies a 10-1 season and probable playoff birth. It happens.

Good for A&M. Hopefully, more schools will start opting out of meaningless bowl games...using whatever excuse necessary.

Im feel strangely apathetic to this decision. Definitely dont love it but certainly dont hate it. We were going to start our 3rd string walk-on QB

Im moving on and staying on the momentum train of our recruiting class.

I don't believe it for a minute. We must have 200 people on the roster. Let them play. I wanted to see Bost given a shot.

Nobody (or a lot on here), seemed excited about the bowl or opponent up until this point.

A smart AD and coach would put out a PR statement volunteering to take A&Ms place in the bowl because they ain't scared along with Dear Recruits if you have buyers remorse come play with manly men.

What a ****ing sad joke this has become.

Sucks for WF that A&M used this as an excuse to not play the game.

Yeah. I'm SURE that's what the recruits decided to come to A&M based on.... On our ability to play in hte Gator Bowl.

Zero chance. They're shut down on that until spring now.
