Memphis/Houston game in danger

97and03 · September 11, 2020

The dramatic uptick in positive tests, according to the source, has been attributed to a party bus that members of the team were on after last Saturday's season-opening win against Arkansas State.

So they win and then get on a party bus?!? Brilliant

That's what I was thinking. Brilliant move by Memphis! People are sure dumb sometimes.

Stuff like that should cause a forfeit if the game isn’t played. Just plain dumb!

I don't expect young people to put their lives on hold indefinitely because I might be too old and frail to survive this virus.

These are not just «young people» they are a team with mutual responsibility to do the right thing for each other and the school that is paying their way.

Big difference in putting your life on hold and taking responsibility for your actions. The season has started and they put themselves at an undue risk

Kudos to you for your unselfish sentiment. Hope we’re all back in Appogee soon with covid19 in the rear view mirror ! GMG

Yes blame the kids because the coaching staff had no say in what the players do. Weak leadership is at fault, from the coaching staff to the administration. There are going to be positive tests, so what, play your backups as punishment and lose the damn game because your coaches were too b**ch made to keep a group of kids of a damn party bus

So your view is it the coaches fault for not locking down the team? A little confused. The education on what to do is out there and at some point the players have to take responsibility. Seems too many want players to get a pass whenever something goes wrong.

How about 50/50. Coaches for failed leadership....student athletes for failure to follow rules...responsibility.

Play those who are cleared and possibly lose game or forfeit.

Well guess what leadership starts at the top. Coaches failed in accountability team captains failed in enforcing the standards of the team (if there are any?) it was dumb and incidents like these will show which teams are serious about competing
