re: Troubling Word from UT Austin, Texas that may signal short season

I was a former offensive lineman, although a very light one. Most of my peers were significantly overweight even as teens. You can still be relative healthy with a BMI over 35 but this puts you at ( I can’t remember if it’s 10x or 4x) but many more times more likely of dying from Covid -19. We were all covered with each other’s sweet and blood in my day and I can’t see a face shield stopping this shite. Also as you breathe hard, shout etc you produce microdroplets which if you have Covid 19 will result in it becomes airborne.

Then they are the issues of the coaches, trainers, staff etc. It just seems unlikely that everyone can practice and play games all over the Country without some outbreaks and likely fatalities. I am guessing that an outbreak may cancel a game or two but fatalities will kill the goose.

I think the same situation exist at UT, we drop my child off next week but I full expect I may be picking her up before October.
