    I'm willing to believe 38 tests said "positive."

    Who knows if they were sick now, sick back when, or never sick?

    We'll likely never know.

As has been discussed ad nauseum there has not been, and apparently still isn't, reliable tests. Which is why it is laughable to blame President Trump for not mandating national testing way back in February-March. There were NO tests back then, and now 6 months later, still don't have tests we can actually trust as accurate. Well, politics aside, since I really don't like discussing politics...

    Hopefully we'll soon here that ALL or most of the 38 positives were false.
    I saw this article about Stephens, it's just a sensational headline to be honest. Their college canceled/postponed the football season back in July, so the story is that he got it elsewhere and happened to be a football player best that I can tell (it's unclear if they've been practicing from what I could see). It's certainly a sad situation when anyone passes from the disease, but it seems to be getting shared on various sites (but not your post) in the context of "see, I told you they shouldn't be playing football".

    I pray we have no similar levels of sickness on our team and they all recover quickly.

    Why stop there? Put everyone in a medically induced coma. There is no need to take any risk by doing anything at all!

    I knew this would happen back when we announced we'd be testing 3 billion times a week. But I never found any actual action plan for the inevitable positive result (beyond "welp just cancel the season then, thanks for your generous donations").

    But if ULM sucks this year (which they will) how many LSU fans show up? Will it even be worth the hassle and degradation of competition.

    It is a very convenient excuse. Also have been a lot of students moving back to school the past few weeks.

    I tend to think the SEC was pretty smart to delay the season start to the end of Sept. If that was the case with us then this up-tick in player cases would be a minor concern.

    Curious as to why you think that.

    Not if there is a buy-out due ULM, probably can't afford it with the lost revenue and recent raises. Plus word is the Baylor game was for expenses only.

    Not "word" truth. Our AD is spreading bad information to make his stupid 2 for 1 seem like a better deal. Most of us knew it was a HORRIBLE deal when announced.

    Holtz as much as said, "I know we were gonna lose anyway, so why go to Baylor when I have a slim chance of beating my Daddy USM in two weeks."

    Well it makes sense. Power out, they gotta go somewhere to shower, stay out of the heat, eat.

    If you had a child in school, you wouldn’t need to ask. I have a college sophomore that is at Baylor and thrilled to be back. I also have a son doing virtual “learning”. Virtual has been awful for everyone I know. Hopefully someone has had a different experience, but I don’t know them.

    I do have a child in school, that's why I asked. My son, who graduated high school this spring, took 18 hours of college courses online his senior year. Did fine, 4.0 GPA in the college courses. An added bonus is he already has one semester of college under his belt. Lots of his friends took similar hours with no issues. At Mississippi State, this semester, a couple of his classes are totally online, while most of the rest of his classes have some online component. All professors or their grad assistants are available for one-on-one discussions, same as in the "in-person classes".

    A student has to be motivated to watch the lecture videos, do the assignments and study for the exams. Same as if it was an in person class. I guess it could be argued that a student must have the ability to learn more independently in a virtual environment. Plus millions of Americans work in a virtual environment. That fact is only going to be more relevant in the future and has been and will continue to be exaggerated due to the corona virus.

    Now moving away from your parents and living on your own at a university is a lot more fun than living at your parents house and taking classes online. I bet our grandchildren will do most of their post high school education online, if not all of it.
