at the cost of costing their teammates a chance to play a season?
Whether you opt out or not can't depend on your team's record. FWIW, I don't think that's happened with Pickering. I think he has legit reasons.
If I were a coach & a guy opted out because the season isn't going well, I'd kick him off the team & never want to see his face again. it's Ok to opt out, but you better have a legit reason
He said in his twitter message from 247: "Pickering, a true sophomore and regular at nose tackle, posted this news at 1:40 ct. ?I love Mississippi State University and all the people surrounding it. There?s not a school I (would) rather play for. God has a plan for everything. This is not about transferring but something I have to do. That being said I will be opting out of the 2020 season.?
Does Vegas have odds on us not playing another game this season?
I like Pickering a lot. Hope he comes back to us next year. Good fella.
Are you saying a player playing football makes it more likely that said player's grandparents will die from covid? Bc that would require that the player be more likely to get covid playing football than not playing football AND that said player is going to be around their grandparents before December 19.
Or just saying that players may want to opt out bc things in life are more important than football and they don't want to worry about football right now?
Damn, dude, sorry to hear about that. I hope you're recovering well. Now may be a good time to get really well acquainted with that four-disc ABB Fillmore West set that came out earlier this year.
On the topic of the thread, it sucks and is a big loss, but so it goes. If dude had or has symptoms that are rough or has seen some friends or family members having a rough go of it, I can't blame him for sitting out the rest of the games following a rash of player infections.
Wow... this is one miserable 17'n fan base. If I've lived half of my life outside of MS, I can legit root for another college, right? Insufferable...
Cancel season will stop the bleeding with our team, program and Leach. If I'm Cohen, I do all I can to cancel out.
If we play we get run over by everyone. Olemiss will beat us 72-0. Our D is good but due to injuries, Covid and attrition our D is depleted. O is hopeless so what does that leave us?
Glad Pickering is staying. He may be doing it because of health issues, maybe he doesn't feel comfortable with the spread of Covid or he may not feel he is in shape to play properly. At least he can't get hurt bad enough to mess up next year or spring.
We need Pickering, Crumedy and company on D back.
