So we beat Oregon, end up 1-0 & get to the P12 Championship Game!

At this point, I think you roll with the punches, and get in as many games as possible. If Udub can play, go for it.

At this juncture, as a fan, I'm even willing forget all the snarky remarks made by ASU players about Cal and COVID. Just gotta move on. If Cal and Udub can pull off this game, their programs get a hero award in my books.

Oh great. OSU is now having a covid outbreak too? Cal won't even be able to play next week either.

I think you guys may need to come to grips with the fact that there is a possibility that the college football season is coming to a close. Covid is skyrocketing. We are already at more hospitalizations than we had last spring and the deaths are up 50% in a week. I agree with WIAF that you play whatever you can, but when half the conference has had issues within like a week, how long do you think this is going to keep going?

Yup. Entirely predictable. Pac 12 should have been trying to play in august/sep. Not November. Look at charts of all pandemics. Almost laughable if I weren't so passed off.

Somebody stop the Cal equipment truck semi and put a sign on it - "Have Team - Will Play Anybody Covid Free".

Will we go to the Pac-12 Championship game if we are undefeated (0-0) this season?

Go Bears!

There comes a time to cut your losses and move on. If NCAA was not so $$$ hungry, this football season would be cancelled now. But, the NCAA and member institutions salute to the mighty $$$ first and foremost.

Go Bears!

The rapid test only picks up like 70% of the positives. In some cases it is better to use a rapid test that is less accurate than a slower test that is much more accurate. For instance, in a college setting if you are testing your student population on a regular basis, It is better to use the rapid test and presumably remove 70% of the positives immediately than to use a slower test and keep 100% in the population for longer.

It is well known that the rapid test is far less accurate. I'm sure Musk knows this, but he wants to pretend like the third leading cause of death in America doesn't exist and this fits his narrative.

Washington vs Cal on Sunday is on the table. OSU having some issues. Update later apparently.

At this point, I think the financial impact is more on teh member institutions. If there is no football and men's basketball revenue, the Universities still are on the hook for athletic scholarships, coaches, trainers, and the like. The students still receive a full ride. The only expense that the Unis save is travel.

Maybe by "you guys" you mean the schools? Because, yeah, with the rates of cases and death... its looking like an August start was the best bet, and now its too late.

I dont see how the season ends by a reason other than covid cancellation.

Gee, thanks ELON! Let's fan the flames of conspiracy, shall we? The overflowing ICU's must be "by mistake" too. And the positivity rates published worldwide in error. And deaths? Caused by falls in the bathroom.

Plus, the guy's a billionaire, thanks to high technology. Apparently if it isn't HIS technology, I guess he thinks it's fine to just **** all over it. Dude, get a clue - this virus is BRAND NEW! We're doing everything we can to make accurate tests, prognoses and prophylaxes. So when they aren't perfect, don't be a dumbass, ok?

There is only two ways this sports thing works during a raging pandemic:

1. A bubble like the NBA; or

2. A coverup like the NFL.


*The nature of golf exempts it

I have always maintained the testing is shakier than they let on, which means it causes a lot of undue fear and undue confidence, the latter being potentially deadly.

Why don't we just play Furd and call it a day.

I'm curious - I posted this question in another thread but - why are we raging on the City of Berkeley for Cal's misfortunes? Yes, the UDub game got canceled because its here in Berkeley and our guys have to quarantine. Ok - rules. They suck but - rules.

But this game was supposed to be at ASU. THEY have the virus, not us. If we're going to hate on anybody, shouldn't it be them?

Lastly, if it works out that we play UDub, up in Seattle - isn't it up to King County to decide whether we can come up and play, given the negative tests of our team?

OR...are we saying that we want the game played in Berkeley because it was supposed to be played here and - well its "home field advantage"? If there's no fans, no concessions, no parking revenue - there's no loss. I would think we would try and play a game wherever we could. At this point, if we are hell bent on playing, then this is the make or break weekend. We can't make up two games.

Don't forget the 5* players. They want film and stats to max their draft. They put pressure on the conferences to play.

I still think that the ACC and SEC have the right approach. Tough out as many games as possible. They being in warm weather climates doesn't hurt either.

thanks for the info. Wife and I took the rapid tests when we got back from Park City (Utah actually traces and asked us to take a test due to possible exposure). My wife came back "slightly positive" and I was negative, which really din't make sense to me. She then got swabbed and later told she was not positive. So the rapid test, while rapid, is not that accurate, but does serve a purpose. For example, when my wife came back negative the doctor said I didn't need to be retested. .

New spin on this #@#!... Cal footbal protocols, planning, and players adherence to the rules means a 1 person issue doesn't become an outbreak.

Note I said Cal, not COB.

Guys, I don't think the season is happening.

I was hoping for that, TBH.

Just set up to play rivals in two weeks. Close the books.

Maybe UCLA this weekend
