Will Va Tech play football this season?

[NorthernVirginiaCane]

Stupid column as the hospitals there are still empty

 

[TriStarCane]

Risking their lives? 7 months in and we are still acting like this is the movie Contagion. It's clear these dopes had no idea what to do, but please cut the drama

So you’re telling me, a team can’t play football bc there are too many cases in town? It’s obviously not that serious if nobody has been put into the hospital. Seems to me like they have zero control over the team and want to blame it on somebody else.

you are totally missing the point. even if the disease is safe for 99% of the people who contract it you can't allow it to spread through the community and a football team. you have to isolate anyone who tests positive and anyone they have been in contact with. there are only a finite amount of players on a team. once you have multiple exposures you can't field a team/

I understand that. I didn’t read it all, how many players tested positive?

That also proves my point. Fuente couldn’t control his guys and they went out and caught it.

I have never liked VT, but began to hate them when they used the legal system to bully their way into the ACC when Miami joined.

I might hate VT more than any other program. They built their program on beating us when we were down in the late 90's. Then they rode our coattails into the ACC. ***** them. Hope they never play another game.

I despise VT, but let's be clear. They are a distant #2 in rivalry to F$U and my hated for the Lizard surpasses all. The Turkey is our 2nd most important game every year and it is absolutely pathetic that their clown show cannot get it together.

**** the Turkey, and more so if we can't play them this year. Not only should we get them at home next year, they should have to play all road ACC games the next year on account of their asshattery.

 

[Goulds Cane]

Aren't we on a 2 game losing streak to them?

 

[furd]

And just how many players have died from this pandemic. Asking for a friend. Take your time and get back to us.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Something seems fishy with the whole VT can't play football thing.

 

[AllAboutTheU]

Aren't we on a 2 game losing streak to them?

No, we smoked them in 2018 on the road and of course 2017.

 

[Goulds Cane]

Ohhh thanks for correcting me, I remember they beat us last year

 

[JgDaCane]

Hopefully not. I’ll take another bye week.

 

[RightSaidFred]

Even if they do play, I can't imagine they've been able to practice. These kinds of disruptions do matter. If they do play, they're going to be terrible.

It's pretty unbelievable that a school in Roanoke Virginia, a small and isolated town with very few cases, is having such a hard time coping with Covid.

What can you say, except to tip your cap to Julio Frenk and the UM people for doing it right. Knock on wood, but we seem to have all the right protocols in place and you never seem to hear about any issues on our side, even though we're in one of the biggest metro areas in America with lots of cases. Really good job by the Miami admin, it's gotta be pointed out.

what does this even mean because it is completely irrelevant?

 

[423Hurricane]

Whether Fuente is culpable or not, he’s not endeared by the fan base anyway. Alumni I know aren’t impressed with him and this will only add fuel to the fire.

 

[IndayArtHauz]

Amazing that you thought this.

They have an open facility. It's not restricted to football players. More factors involved than at most other ACC schools. Our perspective is colored by the size, and ability Miami has to literally isolate the football team in every way.

 

[DTP]

A school in the middle of nowhere can't keep their players from getting covid but a school in a metropolitan area of over 6 million people can keep it under control. It's pretty obvious that the staff, players and student body at VT don't give a **** about safety protocol. Because if they did, they could field a healthy football team. Honestly, if they can't get it together, all their games should just be foreited. Why should the rest of the league have to deal with this because they didn't take the issue seriously?
