That is all

Florida football pauses team activities after COVID-19 spike

That is all

Lame

That is all

The defense has been paused all season.

Hard to pause something that never started to begin with...Must have just hit pause went to grab a beer n never came back

 

[AuggieDosta]

This will continue...sadly.
Florida Gators football activities halted due to positive COVID tests

 

[maheo30]

Our entire defense...

Well, at least Covid made a stop.

You know, the totality of the self-inflicted damage we're doing to our economy and directly people's lives will not be clear until this crap has ended. And it will be bad. Very bad. My own mother, who is staying with my sister as she recovers from knee replacement surgery, won't let me visit unless I am tested, test negative, then quarantine for two weeks prior to going there. And she works in retail. Crazy. None of this makes any sense to me. And aside from the original, now-faulty "two weeks to bend the curve and spare the emergency rooms" argument at the very beginning of this, it's all been downright silly. Well, silly if it weren't so serious.

That we've suspended football activities is disappointing, but let's face it - kids huddling, blocking and in our case, trying their hardest not to tackle while dumping sweat and boogers all over each other - this was inevitable.

Selfishly, I come out ahead if the Corndog game is rescheduled for later in the season. Thursday, I am heading out on a bike trip through SC, NC and GA. Odds are I won't be in front of a TV Saturday afternoon and Corndog is one of the games I look most forward to each year.

This is nothing more than liberal academia, who run UF, telling our governor and couch....we call the shots. Sit down and shut up peasants.

Cancel culture at its best.

So are they blaming this spike in cases on the big crowd at Kyle Field?

They will never say. Keeping you in the dark protects their narrative. The liberal way. It’s way too convenient this comes right after the governor lifts restrictions and the coach pushes for limits on attendance taken back.

They’re blaming it on Trump, Systemic Racism, and White privilege...in no particular order

this.
As crazy as it sounds LSU did it right. Just let them all rub up on each other in the off-season and pass Covid around braving the 99.997% chance young healthy men in that age group will be fine so your team gets heard immunity and won’t have to deal with it during the year.
I know this sounds insensitive, but I can speak from my Own anecdotal experience of dealing with both me and my wife being infected back in the late spring. Having the Rona absolutely sucked and wasn’t fun, but I would have much rather endured it upfront knowing that the overall likelihood is that now me and my family enjoy immunity statistically speaking.
Another part that I have found absolutely ridiculous is the 14 day quarantine for people who have just been tagged as Being in contact with a Covid patient. To me it would seem that two negative test should clear you to return right back to everyone else without needing to wait two weeks as if you were sick despite the fact that you’re not. A lot of nonsense being flouted as an exercise in control. That being said prayers out to the guys who are dealing with this right now.

You know, if this happens just five days earlier, or even if Malik Davis just doesn’t fumble, we are potentially looking at our first ever undefeated season.
