Does the NCAA invoke the Hurricane rule here and postpone games?

Why should the games get postponed?

 

Re: Riff ram biff bam H1N1 by damn!

But what if Sneed gets it? Could we be infected?

 

Re: Riff ram biff bam H1N1 by damn!

Considering H1N1 is very contagious but nowhere near as dangerous as people originally feared (unless you have an underlying medical condition), they should treat athletes who get it like they would any other athletes with a different variety of flu - tell them to stay home but go about the rest of team activities as normal.

 

Re: Riff ram biff bam H1N1 by damn!

The article in the link didn't say it was H1N1, just "flu-like symptoms." You can maybe connect the dots but it's not certain its swine flu.
Either way, Ole Miss has a bye this week and plays Division I-AA Southeastern Louisiana next week. They should be fine for now, football-wise.

Regular flu's not running around yet, Batman. It doesn't hit until later in the year.

Mandate from the feds is: If you have a flu right now, go ahead and assume it's H1N1.

 

Re: Riff ram biff bam H1N1 by damn!

I never went to the doctor, but I think that H1N1 may be what I've had. I've had flu-like symptoms for about a week, but it never got so bad that I couldn't function, so I never bothered with going to the doctor.

 

Re: Riff ram biff bam H1N1 by damn!

I have it right now. It blows. Doc told me exactly what OTR said. She also gave me a prescription but said that the only people who really need the drugs are people who have other medical conditions. She said the human body, after the initial shock, shouldn't have much trouble fending off H1N1 unless it's busy fighting other stuff too.

They shouldn't cancel any games for what I've had. It's been five days. The first four sucked, and today it feels like I have a simple head cold. I'm sure by tomorrow I'll be fine, if only a little weak because I haven't eaten much in the last four days. It's not serious enough to cancel football games.

It's "flim flam, bim bam."

If you're gonna poke fun, get it right.

"Who the hell are WE ..."

 

Re: Riff ram biff bam H1N1 by damn!

Well, if half your team has it and the other team is worried about half ITS team getting it, not to mention all those flu germs floating around among 60,000 people, there might be some concern there.
Plus, say this thing lingers at Ole Miss for a couple weeks. Would you rather postpone a meaningless game against Southeastern Louisiana or be at half strength for a conference game against South Carolina?

And OTR, I hadn't heard that about assuming it's H1N1. I stand corrected.

Ain't no sweat, man.

My mom's a nurse. We talked about it tonight some more. She said Tamiflu works on H1N1 same as it does the other flu -- get it in you early in the sickness, and it'll have an effect. Day 3 or later, and you might as well keep your money and suffer for a day or 3 more, because the Tamiflu won't do dick.
