The First Team is melting down on XM Radio regarding Alabama's Bid Day yesterday

They have been talking about Greg Byrne publicly shaming UA students on Twitter yesterday afternoon. McElroy isn't happy with Byrne and is calling him and others out for "virtue signaling" on social media yesterday. Horowitz believes this is a bad sign for college football due to the lack of people masking up and social distancing in those photographs. McElroy made a good point, however, in that if there were no football players there then this is not a big deal. Keep the team isolated and taking online courses is what he advocates, because he believes keeping them in a bubble is the only way football goes this season.

It's all part of their plan to cancel.
These people are morons if they actually thought college kids would mask up and isolate

Football isn’t going to happen because college students are idiots

Why would college students, who have a minuscule chance of suffering significant symptoms from COVID continue to make themselves prisoners voluntarily?

Using # of cases as the metric is going to being this whole thing crashing down.
You keep seeing tweets and stories about # of students required to quarantine.
Nobody says how many are sick versus asymptomatic.

This is dumb. No football players might have been there but they’ll eventually interact with those who have been out and about. 18-22 players aren’t going to stay bunkered down in a dorm coming out only for football practice.

If this was that big of a deal, they would have told students not to come to campus

Using number of cases as the deciding factor in every was a losing battle from the start.
Of course in the beginning we just needed to flatten the curve. It’s almost like they are cherry-picking data to fit their agenda.

Are you really surprised? That's the way they've been operating since this pandemic began. The vast majority of people who have tested positive, particularly in the infant-40 crowd, have either been asymptomatic or have had very mild symptoms. I personally know only one person who for-sure had the virus and her symptoms were a sore throat and the loss of taste and smell. She didn't even have a fever.

Local highschool had to go virtual because over 1/4 of their students had to isolate. Headline was “Over 150 students sent home to quarantine”
Facts of the matter? Students went to a party for the graduated seniors hosted by the now seniors. 10+ of the graduated seniors tested positive so everyone around them and then everyone around those had to isolate. To my knowledge, none of the current students tested positive.

They told students to come to campus to avoid huge hits to their enrollment.A lot of bait and switch going on with # of in person classes for students.

When will the goalposts ever stop moving? So now the number of people going into bars in your town affects whether your football team plays?
If the people in power, don’t start taking a hard stance and dealing with the consequences of their decisions no matter what we will never get back to a semblance of normal life. Ever. The virus will be here for the rest of time.
There will be outbreaks every year from now on, do we continually go through the outrage of people getting together to enjoy their lives from here to the rest of time?
So fricking tired of this. If you want to play football Byrne, nut up and quit being outraged at people going to bars.

Yea, I'm pretty much past caring at this point. Playing would be cool, but whatever. This whole soap opera sucks.
MLB has figured out how to navigate through the bumps of all of this and realized that just having games and doing creative things to get those games in is important - as long as I have that to watch through late October I'll survive.

Once again, Greg is the exception that proves the rule re: the gump intellect.
All kidding aside, it's difficult to not like the dude.

As if it wasn't obvious that people were gonna start testing positive once kids got to campus. It's just another example of either complete hypocrisy or extreme stupidity of our elected leaders.
All this concern expressed for 100 football players on each campus because of "interactions with the student body" yet no concern for the thousands of "ordinary" students and their interactions with the student body? It's so obviously see through. Everyone wants to grab their share of the money pie while throwing another group under the bus to "rationalize" each's reasoning. At a certain level it's not even politics. It's just each group of money hungry people "making concessions" in order to get their piece of the pie. The trickle down effect of following the government's lead. Eventually every group has been lobbied against that it's either open all of it up or shut it all down. There's no "victims" left to concede.
I'm for the approach of using the "experts" own words against them. Go with the assumption that covid isn't going anywhere. Adjust and move forward with as normal an existence as possible. Are they gonna keep the country shut down for eternity and destroy our economy even further than already? When taxpayers have no more money to give who's money is the government gonna use to "re-stimulate" the economy? Is a little virus with less than half a percent fatality rate really worth another depression or worse, complete failure of our economy? It doesn't matter who the president is if we are cowering to fricking China in a few years because our citizens have no money. Can't let our own leaders turn our country into anything less than the bully we are. No matter what side of the political aisle you're on.
