Volquest podcast said that Knox County contact tracing is more stringent than other SEC schools. It is interesting that schools in larger cities have sucked (LSU, USC, UT, Vandy) while some of the schools in podunk places (Arkansas, Ole Miss, UGA, Auburn) have had good seasons. I bet the Universities in these areas can strong arm the health departments and tell them to go pound sand.

It doesn't excuse losing to Kentucky and Arkansas this year, but it might be a factor.

Did we have any crucial players out during any of our losses? I don't think we had enough to really make an impact on the outcome. We have stuck on offense this year

Isn't it a little late for contact tracing. I thought that was only good at the beginning of the outbreak

Both Lexington (UK) and the Fayetteville (AR) metro areas have over 500K residents...

Contact tracing is dumb anyways. It is particularly dumb to do this with college athletes who basically live with other people their age who won't be dying from the Rona anytime soon. So stupid.

Trey Smith has played all year with a labrum injury, Wanya Morris missed all of preseason practice through contact tracing while coming off hip surgery, Bailey missed 14-21 days preseason because of tracing, at one time only had 1 scholarship WR available for practice, Thompson with a torn pec, Alontae a bum leg and Shamburger and our Safeties a no show, some reported some rumored to have happened. I'd say all of that played a role in our development and our losses. It's obviously a problem throughout the athletic department with our highly ranked basketball team yet to play a game when we should be on game 4 by now.

Exactly, once the basketball team was the only one in the SEC having these issues, it became clearer that this is going to be a problem all year long for UT

I didn't realize we had that many injuries, maybe we should covid the remaining games.

I think you have less beurocracy in the smaller towns. Knoxville wants to be a big city, hence the more stringent silliness.

I keep hearing this on here but never see any actual proof of it. As a rule Tennessee/Knox County had some of the least stringent rules in place for the public at large. Kentucky has been far far more strict. To the point they had to cancel high school football games with Tennessee teams because Tennessee was basically the old West with covid rules compared to them.

Please provide the source that Bailey was out 14-21 says for Covid tracing. Thanks in advance.

TN doesn't formally release it. It's all anecdotal from Volquest, 247, The Athletic, etc.

I would assume 21 days is an exaggeration unless he went thru multiple contact tracing events. I would guess if he went thru one tracing protocol it would be 7 to 10 days max.

Why are we contact tracing a virus that most are getting over pretty quickly anymore. I question the methods and the motives at this point. This isn't the black plague and never was.

I had a higher probability of dying every time I stepped on the rugby pitch than I do from this virus.

It's all about control and always has been. The globalists just got impatient and decided to do something about our pesky individual freedoms. The virus gave them the perfect excuse.

Fall practice started 8-17 and Bailey returned 8-25. We didnt practice every day either. He missed 4 practices.

Doesnt explain why he got less than 10 reps the next month...

We're we missing any major starters in any games? No? OK

Followup: according to other VN members, Bailey only missed 4 practices from 8-17 to 8-24 due to tracing protocols so Covid is not an issue for Bailey’s lack of development in September. The blame again is placed squarely on Pruitt for not getting Bailey acceptable snaps. In fact Covid issues have no impact for us sitting here at 2-5 in the first week of December.
