Somebody explain to me how they could play at the Citadel on Sat. and then "come down with Covid"? They are on the road and isolated.

This smells rotten!!!

WTF?

Is our football game at VMI this Saturday cancelled as part of the package?

More than likely. By cancelling the FU game they avoid 2 of the top 3 teams and only have 6 to play.

Sure does since the CDC says to wait 5 days if you have been exposed because it won’t show up until then.

He can do it more quickly because he doesn't have that arm in the way to roll over...

By far, their most distinguished graduate is George C. Marshall. He would be disappointed in the absence of a plan and poor logistics...

I think, maybe, you meant to post this in the “ VMI fakes COVID and avoids going to Greenville” thread or quote 1 or 2 posts from that thread.

I got it though - nice. Funny.

The SoCon had a 25% success rate in getting FU's make games in, WCU road game was the only 1 of the 4

25% is not good enough when your team is competing for the league title, I reserve the right to complain as much as needed

Anyone surprised? Doesn't bode well for our football game, either.

I have to admire the discipline displayed by our Paladins. We had one issue caused by a false positive. They have worked hard and sacrifice much in order to play. It's a shame other teams can't be as disciplined.

I give a lot of credit to the Furman administration for doing what it takes to keep the students safe, even though some on this board condemned everything that was done.

For those complaining about the SoCon.

Looks like the CAA is doing a very poor job of managing Covid or maybe they just have several VMI types.

What if VMI had positive players or coaches. Just a crazy thought. Maybe they are telling the truth.
