I think it's okay to have players go home but understand the caution.
I think had it been me I would've opted to just say at the school but some people need their family time - it helps them function properly. Give them the choice.
I think it's easier to probably limit the interactions and still have fun in Miami. You can rent out entire facilities, create a fun atmosphere in the hotel and to be honest - control more of their focus/location than you would in the same ole dorms on campus.
There are probably more eyes on them here than there would be on campus... (just a thought)
And, the weather is spectacular today! Clear, sunny, mid to upper 70's. Being outside and distanced might be the safest place they could be imo.
Football playing guide to avoid sickness:
-breathe in through nose out through mouth. Nose hairs provide extra protection
-fist bump only when celebrating. Shaking hands and high fives not allowed. Doing the griddy away from the crowd is ok. Mainly because it’s hard to control breathing while dancing
-when tackling opposing team breathe out and hold until you can get back to feet and exhale through mouth once 6 feet away
-wear gloves and change each series and use hand sanitizer in between changes. also rub a little on your nostrils for extra protection
-cough into elbow but no sneezing
-every hour on the hour gargle vod ka or listerine (if under 21). Spit out completely and rinse with water
-wear goggles
If we follow these rules we will be healthy and ready to take the Orange go Dawgs!
Have any restrictions been placed on attendance at the Orange Bowl?
Not at the moment.
Restrictions are set by the State not the NCAA, restrictions not going to happen in the State of Florida
GO DAWGS!!!
Amen!! and Hate on Michigan!!
We may get lucky as vaccinated players only have to get tested if showing symptoms. The two friends I know that got the new strain last week are already better and only one of them had any symptoms, they are both in their 60's. I'm thinking a lot of healthy young folks will not know they even have it. At least I hope so!
Here is the problem with Miami. Go out and win the orange bowl before covid numbers on the team go up. Players start testing positive afterwards without enough time between then and the Natty leaving the team depleted.
Very small amount of guys will be tested before then. Unless they self report themselves or it becomes qbvious.
What are the rules again? Must get tested if not fully vaxxed and must get tested if symptomatic? If that's the case what type of symptoms?
Breaking news: the CDC has shortened the quarantine and retest time to five from ten days. They do tack on a mask requirement, so that might negate the value to football players.
Great news! Thanks for sharing!
Go Dawgs! Hate on Covid!
One other key point here: if you have been boosted, there is no requirement to quarantine after exposure to a positive, but again, they recommend a mask for ten days instead. (maybe a helmet facemask can meet the requirement 😀)
