2020 CU football season POSTPONED until Nov 6th?

[Highlander]

I swear if the Mountain West starts on the 24th or even the 31st and the PAC hasn't then the PAC will be the laughing stock in college football circles if not already.

Only if that happens?

 

[somebody]

Friendly reminder that there are 3 CA teams in this conference, including 1 in the Bay Area. 10/24 is their target date for 8 games.



Meanwhile, at Pac 12 HQ...

But they play little boy football.

Over 48,000 positive COVID tests on college campuses. Shut it down.




Only 2 hospitalizations.

Zero deaths.

SHUT. IT. DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!

They already are the laughing stock, by far.

Community spread is the issue. Not about hospitalizations or deaths in this healthy pop.

This. College campuses aren't islands. There are surrounding communities with populations that are more at risk.

The person to whom you’re responding is a pure moron.

The Pac 12 ALREADY IS the laughing stock of college football. Where the hell has ITB been?

You can almost hear the frustration through Wilner's tweets

Larry is bending over backwards to keep Stanford and Cal happy-I think there's your answer.

It’s the damn Bay Area mentality. Get the headquarters out of California and into Vegas or Phoenix, and you’ll have a different leadership and cultural ethos.

When you subject yourself to progressive governance (i.e. West Coast cities), failure is virtually inevitable, even for restarting PAC 12 football.

Yes, definitely need to move the conference office to Mississippi, Alabama, or Florida.

Ahh yes, more calls for regressive governance... Just what the doctor ordered!

I am confused as to why "progressive" is continually used as an insult by anyone

Here's the concession I'd want as a fan of a program who is ready to play 10/31 (basing this on what I read): If we draw Cal or Stanford in late November or early December and they have COVID positives during game week, that would need to be a forfeit.

You bet. That 3-3 is gonna look so much better than 2-4.

 

[patebuff]

That works!

 

[ahoelsken]

I don't honestly think we'll see either one-but putting that idea out there. I think since the Washington teams are ready (from what I read) I kind of wonder if we'll play them, Utah, the Arizona schools, and 1-2 of the other six.

Take 2-4 to Vegas, well offshore, but you know what I mean.

I expect O/U to be 1.5, at most.

Won’t those playing on 10/31 be OOC games? Or do you expect them to play one more conference game than those starting on 11/7?

I was assuming they would be non-conference

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the rapid testing advantage, unless the Pac 12 also supplies the OOC teams with the same testing capabilities.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Double post

True, then they could get caught in a situation where there's no positive tests but teams are having to suspend workouts and cancel games due to contact tracing instead of actual cases.

I guess they could play conference games and then have a bye later in the schedule in the event of cancellations

 

[patebuff]

Who are they going to play OOC? The only other conference we know of that could possibly start then as well is the MWC.

 

[hawg1]

I suggest Houston.

Any OOC game depends on what the MWC allows their teams to do when they come out with something. If they go conference only, we probably have to as well. Given AFA is still heading to Army on November 7 (if I remember correctly), I would think they'd allow one game per school.

If conference only-no. I would expect the teams who started Halloween to get an off week in November or December to compensate for that.

I have enjoyed watching more football than I usually do this year but there is still that gaping hole.

I am ready for CU FOOTBALL!
