Apologies if this has been discussed, but I didn't see it anywhere. I assume spring practice is at least postponed, since all the students have been/are being sent home, but has it been called off entirely?
All teams are in the same boat, but it's certainly unfortunate with a new DC and a new LB coach trying to get started.
You have to feel for the guys who gave up their last HS semester to enroll early so they could participate in spring ball, if in fact it is going to be cancelled all together.
Spring Practice?

Here is a story from gopowercat.com about spring practices and other related issues. Yeah, I do feel for the kids, the coaches, etc. Hopefully, the worst of this blows over in relatively short order and we can get back to a sense of normalcy.

Feel bad for them? Poor guys.... Pffft. ... C'mon.
I love sports, but this may be a much needed reminder of how out of whack we are as a society. I don't feel bad for them at all. They're probably, for the first time in years, getting a complete hiatus way from sports and nobody is "out working" them because everybody is on break. I bet many of them feel "relieved".
I'm betting it's us adults having the hardest time with this, not the athletes.

sports are a diversion from everyday life. they serve a good purpose in that way. i see progressives, liberals, moderates, right-wingers, gays, straights, catholics, jews, whites, blacks, married, teens, children, and so on all cheering k-s-u in unison at the bill and bramlage. beyond church it's the only social platform we all come to share equally.
Why is there something rather than nothing?
Thank you stlcatfan. Looks like it's just postponed for now, but I'm betting by the time we get to the end of March it will be cancelled.stlcatfan wrote: ↑March 14th, 2020, 7:29 amHere is a story from gopowercat.com about spring practices and other related issues.

The ripple effect economically because of whats taking place now is going to far out weigh anything anyone imagines from a health perspective. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be taking sensible health precautions now, I'm just saying the current health issue will be tiny in comparison to the coming GLOBAL financial and economic impacts. SMH....

I don't think the economic impact is going to be as bad as people think. Sure, it's going to have a negative impact, but we were doing pretty good otherwise and will come through this ok, imo.Tbonespop wrote: ↑March 14th, 2020, 3:12 pmThe ripple effect economically because of whats taking place now is going to far out weigh anything anyone imagines from a health perspective.

I hope you are correct. I worry not just about the US, but when you shut down multiple economies (and some of the largest ones), it has a ripple effect. Hope this all blows over in a few weeks, then tapers off over a few months as the warmer weather comes on.wild@nite wrote: ↑March 14th, 2020, 5:27 pmI don't think the economic impact is going to be as bad as people think.

I hope the U.S learns a lesson from all this -- that we're better off making our own 'stuff' rather than outsourcing.
