Multiple Cal Football Student-Athletes In COVID Protocol

November 4, 2021
63,680

BERKELEY, CA – Multiple Cal football student-athletes are in COVID protocol and will not be available to play in Saturday's game at Arizona. All student-athletes traveling to Tucson will be tested and cleared prior to departing the Bay Area. Everyone within the Cal football program is compliant with UC Berkeley's COVID-19 vaccine requirements, and 99 percent of football student-athletes are fully vaccinated. Due to state and federal student privacy laws, Cal Athletics is not able to comment on the personal health of individual student-athletes.

"Our primary concern is for the health of our student-athletes, and we continue to monitor the situation closely," Cal Director of Athletics Jim Knowlton said. "As we know, this pandemic is not over. We need to respect it and understand that it can affect much of what we do every day. Even with 99 percent of our football student-athletes fully vaccinated, we have seen that breakthrough cases are still possible."

betUS put the game back on the board. currently sitting at Cal -8.5. So some additional movement toward UA but not a ton
Seems odd to me given that no one knows how many starters are out of the game for Cal. Let's take a hypothetical, if 60 - 80% of Cal's starting OL is out, there is no way the spread is that high. Nobody knows, atm, yet the spread has only moved 4 points down from its high prior to the news breaking.

The Garbers quote has caused people on the Arizona board to say Garbers is out quoting theBear Insider.

Give it a few minutes. The way social media works they'll have Garbers' dad implicated in the JFK assassination.

We didn't say Garbers is out. If they want to quote posters hypothesizing as authoritative info, J guess that's their choice.

i'm fine with this as long as garbers is there

though if garbers was going, i think MB would have reassured us by now. he wouldn't say who isn't going, but if he knew Chase was going, my guess is MB would say so. i could be wrong, of course

Well, is he out or not? Actually why don't you just tell us who IS out, assuming you know. Presumably Arizona knowsjust had to see who got off the plane and who didn't. Can't see how privacy rules apply. We're all going to know eventually. The game starts in three and a half hours.

This is the biggest pregame non-story of the season.

It is a great example of how a situation can be blown totally out of proportion by people who have no idea what they are talking about and thus are spreading false information which other people assume is factual.

Someone could write a thesis on this one:

"The gullibility of humankind - how to convince someone of something that has no basis in fact".

On a very small scale, this episode is another example of why this country is circling the drain. People have either lost the ability to employ the concept of critical thinking or never possessed it. Heck, if graduates of the "premier public university" in the country are behaving like this, it tells me a lot about how the university has failed its obligation to educate them.

Watched the Furd Utes game last night, where Furd played basically without about half its starters due primarily to rash of injuries and that had limited depth (QB, top 2 of 3 RBs, 3 top WRs, the kicker. one lineman, a corner, , one safety, and on and on), and played with some guys who had not played in some time or ever. This was the team that took down Oregon. They had a different line-up against Utah and got creamed by what could be the best team in a mediocre conference.

I know everyone hates Shaw as smug, but here it goes:

"Obviously we missed some guys who aren't out there. But we have 11 out there at a time, strap it up and get out there and play.... It's inexcusable." I expect the Cal coaches to come in with the same attitude. Strap it up guys and win.

Where /When did that start ?
Who made it this way?
Who has benefited most from it ?

The true history (beginning) of this country which it still has not been atoned for is the problem.

Do some of you people really know? Is disclosing players' playing status breaking some rule like insider trading in the stock market? This is too funny. And is all of this mess affecting only Cal due to City of Berkeley rules? Please someone help me out!

chase is reposting stuff about the game on Instagram, featuring himself, so my feeling is he's playing today

either that, or his great uncle assassinated jfk like the other poster said, of course

Thanks a lot democrats!
Thank you for confirming my earlier posts about the failure of Cal grads to grasp the concepts of critical thinking…..

Of course this had to happen for the most winnable game of the year. Because the first rule of Cal sports fandom is that we can't have nice things.

Welp we are winning on the turnover margin but gotta clean it up on this 1st down efficiency…

Here's your Internet coach spill!

-run the ball!! It'll help with play action
-convert on the turnover ! Put some points up for the love of god!!
- run glover! He's not accurate but my assessment looks like he can be useful in the RPO
- defense is doing well but I think the D will when this game !
- as always…… clock management and eliminate the penalties !

Let's go Bears!!!!!!!

If they knew which offensive and defensive players were out, Arizona could have effectively tailored its game plan on both sides.

I'm thinking we might score less than 3 and they'd score more than 3. Maybe you're right: we should announce in advance to the public all of our key players who will be out.

Why does the City of Berkeley hate Cal football so much and why didn't the University just ignore the City. The University is on State owned property. UFB
