when first presented with Orgeron's comment most of our players have caught it you said "a claim is just a claim"

Then when I linked to you your own comment, you tried to spin away from it to "didn't say he "knew" or that they positively did"

If he didn't say "most of our players have caught it" then a lot of journalist misquoted the guy

Let's say most players on the team did catch it during the summer. Most doesn't mean every. Only a few players tested positive before the Alabama game. There are over 100 players (including walk-ons), staff, trainers, etc players are exposed to on a regular basis. Players are only exempt from the contact tracing protocols if they've tested positive within 90 days of having contact (that is quite literally straight from the SEC COVID protocol manual). It's been well over 90 days since Orgeron made that statement, so it's really irrelevant. All the COVID contact tracing data is automatically sent by SEC schools straight to the SEC. What exactly are you trying to do at this point? Trying to pull at strings to prove Orgeron was lying in July because his team fell under mandated COVID protocol in November? Let. It. Go. The game is going to be played.

From Associated Press:

quote:
“I think, not all of our players, but most of our players have caught it,” Orgeron said during a video conference, adding later that he did not know the percentage of the roster that had tested positive.

It was still cute that you tried to use that quote against Orgeron
