Is this Omicron surge a threat to post season play?

Dawgs80

Absolutely. Saban is already taking steps at Bama and I assume we are as well.

Dawgwired

Very well could tarnish the post season. I read yesterday where saban has put in protocols for meetings etc. I’m sure every team in playoffs is trying to address it too. I’m not sure what they will do if one team or both teams have out breaks. Do they postpone it in both cases? Or do you just play with who you got? The flu decimated some teams this year. I think in one game Boston college (?) had 30+ players out.

PerroGrande

Yes, definitely. That's why I started the other thread that got closed. I think it is a real threat. Michigan has a lot of cases and the positives are happening in vaccinated people. Groups that are blanket testing are finding a lot of positives. It is mostly mild according to reports, but that will still cause the forfeit or postponement. I don't think we got a definitive answer on what the protocol for our post-season will be if Covid cancels a game, but it sounded like forfeit was the best guess.

I'm voting up because I appreciate the comments but am bummed about the possibilities. The Dawgs have got to have a chance to make up that loss against Bama.

Possibly. It's kind of hard to separate the truth from the hysterics these days. My hope is that the vast majority of people have either gotten the virus, or the vaccine. So there's not a lot of people left that are completely unexposed. I guess we will see what happens with the football teams, but at this point I'm not very worried. Especially since the worst of it seems to be hitting the states that were very aggressive in their shutdown measures.

Was just watching Dawg Nation Daily. Connor Riley was on and this came up. According to Connor, players are not tested unless they have symptoms. Just FYI

That's good news! In the other thread were my post got edited that was my expressed main concern.

Reading the NCAA guidlines it looked like ALL players had to be tested before arriving at the game. That concerned the hell out of me, because most young healthy men have few if any symptoms. I would hate to see the CFP screwed up because of a coronavirus.

Yes it will but probably shouldn't.

Covid has hit our team. Not in big numbers, but we have to keep it that way

Thanks for the info. My understanding is that this variant clears pretty fast. Hopefully that is true and everything will be good.I trust the staff and hope all will be good to go. Same goes for Mich.. I think everyone wants both teams full go.

JoeClark

Ummm SDS just reported JTD is in protocols... Hopefully it doesn't spread too far and all are well who might be in protocols

volatilis

Yeah, serious enough for the NHL to 'pause' their season.

As long as it stays the way it is RIGHT NOW we should be fine.

DvilleDawg

They probably should have locked the team and coaches in a room together after the SECCG and let them cough, sneeze, burp, and fart on each other and got this out of the way.
