I’m saying Houston is lying but I’d love to know if they have actual players who have tested positive. If they have 7 guys, walk ons included, the game should be played.

I love a good conspiracy but I'm not sure this one holds water. I think its far more likely that we weren't able to field a team.

I’m not saying it’s true. Just really hard to test positive so quickly after exposure unless Texas state gave it to them

I'm no virologist (and neither are you), but omicron spreads pretty fast, so I'm not sure what you're hanging your hat on here.

I’m not either. But the CDC recommends getting tested 5-7 days after a Covid exposure. They do that because Covid exposure doesn’t mean you’ll test positive right away. It usually takes 3-7 days after exposure to test positive for Covid. Which likely means if Houston truly had an outbreak, it likely happened prior to the Texas State game and not in 60 hours from the end of the game until Christmas morning.

I think teams abuse Covid rules. I think UC likely took advantage of it against Tulsa last year. If Houston wanted to play this game, they could. 7 players & a single coach is all that’s needed.

At some point, we’re gonna have to face the music on Covid in sports. And approach like you would any other illness. Jordan played with the Flu. If you can play then play. Omnicron is so contagious that there is zero stopping it. We have a vaccine, we have treatments. We just have to face the music. If you are elderly or immuno suppressed then just stay home. But sitting people out 10 days ain’t gonna do crap
With Omni. It’s coming for all of us and it is what it is.

And I’m not saying that as some radical. I’m a liberal who voted for Biden and believe In science. Science says Omni wants us. Let’s get it over with and let the cards fall.

their was an outbreak in the hawaii tournament on Christmas that affect the tournament before it finished for multiple teams .. or its a coincidence 3 of the 8 teams just had different outbreaks at the same time

houston was short on players before covid ..houston only had 11 active players not redshirting, 2 lost for the season, 2 unconfirmed status...it wouldn't take but 2 outbreaks to get less than 7..

and ive been trying to avoid saying this, but You havent looked like juggernuats you last 2 games, neither has temple, the 2 ganes likely cancelled.. houston beat a top 130 kenpom team by 40 in our last game without 4 players ..your theory would have some ground if we were playing memphis after what they just did to bama, or smu ..i dont see any advantage to ducking cincy..

i absiolutely hate making political statements on sports boards, but i think by next year they will stop testing for covid and accept its as part of everyday life.
something that i dont get is the bowl game cancelling...why not play the game even with covid and then have the entire team isolate for 10 days, its winter break and the last game .. iun 3 years you wont remeber the 10day isolation, you will remember cancelations and not playing in the bowl

Ummmmm because maybe not everyone on each team would agree with that idea. And the potential for endless litigation. And the ensuing insurance debacles. At this stage of the game (pun intended) Canceling is unfortunately the easiest path to take.

According to Kelvin Sampson this morning, the league voted today to change the COVID forfeit rule to a no contest, meaning tomorrow's Cincy game isn't a loss. Also said Kyler Edwards is currently in a boot and unable to practice, and between COVID and injuries, Houston doesn't have enough healthy guys right now to practice, much less play. Coach says they currently have 10 COVID positive members of the program, players and staff. All members of the coaching staff are vaxxed+boosted, and all players are vaxxed and will have the booster by the end of this week. Current injury status of UH players below:

Injured, out for the year
G Marcus Sasser (foot surgery)
G Tramon Mark (shoulder surgery)

Injured, out but will return
G Kyler Edwards (high ankle sprain)

Not a fan of changing the rule. I expect some "convenient" no contests now

sampson answered a few of your questions in the presser

- we had 10 positives (but that also includes staff)
- will play anyone if there are 7 available players, doesn't matter which 7, they will play
- realizes the expectations of this team has been greatly diminished, isnt as worried about results and remaining ranked (doesnt care i they add losses)
- any more major injuries they will start adding football players

other notes kyler edwards injury is worse than initially expected, thought he'd be healthy to play cincy in the texas state post game, he is in a boot and needs to get an MRI.. hasnt practiced and is unlikely to play for a little while, but thye expect him back at some point

sampson notes they will have at least 7 available for the temple game, so that game is unlikely to be cancelled (taze moore expected to return)

Ramon walker was on the verge of redshirting 3 weeks ago with a bad hand injury is now likely to start vs temple

Everyone knew this was coming once the COVID cancelations began happening in mass.

How the hell is Houston playing Jan 2?

If players tested positive on dec 25, they shouldn’t be allowed to play Jan 2. That’s not 10 days.

Seems like Houston could have played this game. They just chose not to.

If they have 7 players right now who don’t have Covid, they could have played. Taze Moore could have played tomorrow.

I think Houston abused the rule. Teams have played with 6 scholarship players pre Covid before. Plus walk ons

no he couldn't have, he still inst with the team.... he has missed multiple game
there also a chance kyler edwards might play on temple depending on his mri... he is in a boot today, no way he was playing tomorrow

houston had 10 positives including staff, would you even want to play a team with that many positives, even beyond payers???

sampson flat sid he would play anyone if he has 7 players ..

Cincy isn't good enough to duck

also of note CDC isolation is down to 5days instead of 10

It's clear that Houston feared the powerhouse that is Cincy. Even though it was a home game, we feared facing the omnipotent might of those mighty coochie cats.
