Not trying to COVID shame, I promise. But two COVID outbreaks in four weeks and SEVEN games affected by COVID this year makes me wonder if any of this is worth it??
And it’s not doom and gloom. It’s just the reality that none of this seems worth it. Come back in the spring, make it mandatory everyone gets a vaccine by then (assuming there is one by then; I believe we will have one avaliable by early Feb.), and try again in 2021.

Taggart needs to get these kids to stop partying and take this thing seriously. Stay smart and isolated . Put the team in a bubblePosted On: Oct 8th 2020, 9:51 PM #396616

How do you suppose FAU does that? Would love to hear your plan.

Yea it’s difficult to expect that of 18-22 year olds in a campus where there is regular contact with the general student population daily for the most routine of tasks. I’m with Jake. We had a game saw the team play and that was basically our Spring Game. We don’t need to deal with anymore uncertainty than we are already dealing with. Cancel the rest of the season and go home with an undefeated C-USA record and claim the conference title again based on win percentage

Yeah, all you can really do is ask the guys to take accountability for themselves in respect for their teammates. Easier said than done with 18-21 year olds. Just a crappy frustrating situation.

The problem isn’t a player going to Subway or Chipotle to grab lunch. Wear the mask, socially and you’re fine It’s going out to a bar after the win or another student not socially distancing in their own time.
The bubble prevents that — and if you don’t follow the rules, you’re punished. What can Willie realistically do if he gets video of a player at the Irishman with no mask and socially distancing?
All of this sucks because it’s out of everyone’s hands. It’s up to fate, and playing the season when it comes down to the 11th hour is pointless. And this is from someone who hated wearing the mask for months.
Ok, I’ve ranted enough. Go Jets! Oh wait.

We don’t even know for sure if the kids were partying. If they were you think FAU Football the only kids partying?
