How does ECU look?

"It's a huge relief being right at 100 percent, we've done about everything we can to protect our players," said Houston.

This gives them a big advantage over us come September 2.

I’m assuming this is about vaccination rates? The % I’ve heard about App is far from pleasing. So if it is about vaccinating rates, you’re certainly right. It’s frustrating Clark has not been able to get that through to the team.

Yes, our vaccination rate is so bad that bad luck could easily keep the team out of playing in a bowl game much less even sniffing playing in the championship game.

Teams who are all in for their team and about winning are almost 100 vaccinated. Nick Sabin is a disciplined coach and has his team one player shy of 100 percent.

You’re a better man than I classifying it as “bad luck”. I try to have empathy and understand, but it’s simply stupidity at this point. If Saban and Mike Houston can get their teams to at or near 100%, then there’s no excuse for the highest paid App employee (at least top 3) to not have his team there as well.

That a young Man or Women that made a personal decision on their health…that they thought would benefit them is selfish??! crap selfish is wishing that they would vaccinate so you could watch football.

Another promising thread ruined by the Covid obsessed crowd. We get it, we know where you stand, for Gods sake let something else control your mind and attention for 5 minutes.

It’s been said on here before the psychological impact of this crap is worse than the virus itself.

GO APPS!!

Only thing i say with any confidence is that we will know if Brice is the guy after this one. And if he’s not then there’s pretty good odds we wake up Friday morning 0-1.

Nope, we still have Jacob Huesman, 1-0.

A lot of dumb shit is said on here.

Correction: i said stupid, not selfish. Though it is also selfish, in more ways than just football.

Also i eagerly await your posts when we inevitably lose a game because we’re missing an entire position group. Like it or not Covid is going to be a topic of conversation around this team unless there’s a dramatic increase in vaccination rates between now and 9/2. No amount of sticking your head in the sand is going to change that.

I agree and am no better than you . I was merely hiding (lying) my thoughts in to not stir up the post any more than I have by bringing up our dismal vaccination rate and how no one seems concerned about it.

I’d be curious to see if Clark pulls the plug on a transfer prospect in game 1.

No.

Being on a TEAM is doing what is best for the TEAM.

PERIOD.

One can make any choice that they believe is best for them. PERIOD.

BUT, if you want to continue to be an active contributor to the team then you let that also influence your decision making.

But hey, maybe Sabin doesn't really know what he's doing and you are right. My bad. Sorry.

If need be he should. However, I think Brice can hold his own. In the mean time, we have a lot of talent on our team, not worried.

[BambooRdApp]

I respectfully disagree. One game does not a QB make in my opinion. Everyone is new...game speed can only be made in a actual game. In addition, we have have new OL coming into the mix....I am hopeful that we win. However, one game does not QB make. I believe we will see by game 4 or 5 we see what we have in Brice. If we are fortunate..maybe he comes out smoking game 1 and 2. However if he is average in the first couple of games, I hope Clark stays with him. If he is god awful against ECU, maybe you do pull him if game is in reach. However, I hope Clark puts him back in the saddle for Game 2.

At this point in the pandemic I would say our coaches and administrators are leaving up to the individual.

I'm confused how you think increased vaccination rates will help us not miss position groups. Especially after you just posted a tweet about how the Dolphins' co-offensive coordinator was just sent home after testing covid positive even though he was vaccinated. It would appear that having the vaccination doesn't do anything to ensure that you can keep playing because it is still possible to get and spread covid whether you're vaccinated or not.

Leaving it up to the individual is not a good idea. This Delta variant is taking the county by storm. I live in Florida and we just had the largest single day infection rate of the ENTIRE pandemic. We also are are record level of hospitalizations in many areas. Again, currently, it is ALL about risk management. Get the vaccine and you don't have to test or QUARANTINE for potential exposure. It is the best thing our team can do to ensure we have eligible players to play the game.

It can HELP us not miss position groups because according to the NCAA any player that is vaccinated and is asymptomatic does NOT need to test even if link by contact tracing. There are breakthrough cases with vaccinated people but the numbers are far lower than the occurrence in unvaccinated people AND they usually are asymptomatic. In addition, there is no way to know that any vaccinated player has COVID because they won't ever be tested. Again, as I have posted many time, this is ALL about RISK MANAGMENT with our football team. They all just need to get vaccinated and it will be a very special season, otherwise we may be in trouble.

[HighlandsApp]

The advantage ECU has along with Alabama and every team that has their entire team vaccinated is the advantage of having your full depth chart available to you for each game day.

Vaccinated players will not be tested. Unvaccinated players will be. If a team has an entire unit like say an o-line and only one of the group is vaccinated and one player in the pre game cov19 test is positive then you just forfeited the game unless you cobble up random players to play offensive lineman for a couple of games.

Teams with great expectations but low vaccination rates will quite possibly have poor seasons this year while a handful of good/better than average teams with 100 vaccination rates will have breakout seasons this year.

This said, ECU LOOKS GOOD this year and far better than we do in one important metric.

My bad, I was under the impression that these rules were in place to protect players and slow the spread. Now I see it's all just about punishing the non-vaccinated.
