I knew that frikking game would get canceled at the last minute. But I promise not to mention that another woke state team cancels a bowl game playing a southern team.

I'll keep it to myself this time. I wouldn't want to offend anyone.

But, you didn't keep it to yourself.

I'll promise to use the sarcasm font next time to service you better.

Don't need you servicing me anytime, Chief.

I'm just trying to figure out how a state can be "woke". And how your geography theory works exactly? Did Texas A&M, UVA and Miami relocate?

Facts never matter.

Facts do matter. Like nobody is dying from Omicron. Fact used to be if you were vaccinated like myself you were good to go. You guys that can't see the forest for the trees is not a me problem. It's a you problem comrade.
Nice, someone with a brain, +3 for you , “ comrade “, LOL priceless

Seriously? You need an explanation? A woke state is synonymous with blue states that have ridiculous covid restrictions. Like the state I grew up in Illinois.

It's bull**** that a team can yell covid on the day of the game. Imagine you're from Memphis and go to Hawaii to see your team play and the home team *****'s out on game day. Who's responsible for the hotel, plane tickets, etc.?

Are you telling me nobody had covid a week before these games?

You honestly need an explanation?


The rest of the world is laughing at it and our enemies like Russia and China are fanning it and laughing their butts at it.

Not to derail the thread, but if you ever listened to CCP figures talk about the US you'd know that's not what they're laughing at.

I was pointing out how ridiculous your comments were. You honestly couldn't figure that out? The restrictions that led to the various teams withdrawing weren't based on any state restrictions. Therefore the particular political party that dominates State government doesn't have anything to do with it. And the last time I checked Texas, Virginia and Florida were Southern States.

It is great that data seems to indicate that the Omicron variant isn't as deadly as the earlier variants but it just got here and we need more information before we just blow it off. At this point about 60 percent of USA covid cases are Omicron variant and it was less than half that a couple of weeks ago. So we are dealing with plenty of Delta variant cases currently. Also, I doubt "nobody is dying from Omicron". One of the things about it is how easily and rapidly it spreads. If half as many people get seriously ill or die from this variant compared to delta but twice as many people get Omicron as got Delta aren't we still seeing the same hospitalization and death numbers? If it's more than twice as many, well you see where that is heading. I hope this is the beginning of the end of this pandemic but it's never a good idea to get ahead of ourselves.

Are you guys a tag team? We need more information on cancer too.

If we're so uncertain what the ramifications are of covid right now on the safety of college athletes, then shut it down. That's the whole point of this argument. Virtue signalling schools are cancelling games at the twelth hour. That's bull****! They need to be held accountable. If there so ******* woke, then they should decline accepting any bowl bids. No way on earth at least one player isn't infected.

If we test athletes two hours before a game and they're ok, who's to say they aren't ok after the first quarter? Should we test them every five minutes? Can you see the stupidity in all of this?

Test the athletes one week before the game and make a decision whether or not to play at that time before we force fans to **** up their vacation.

Accept responsibility for yourselves if you're afraid. Just watch the G'damn game on TV then if you can't handle the "trauma".

It's common sense.

Therefore the particular political party that dominates State government doesn't have anything to do with it. And the last time I checked Texas, Virginia and Florida were Southern States.

But there IS a huge difference in WHEN these cancellations occurred:
1) Texas A&M cancelled more than a week prior to the Gator Bowl and a replacement team (Rutgers) was named as a replacement so the game will be played
2) Virginia cancelled 3 days prior to the Fenway Bowl
3) Miami FL cancelled 5 days before the Sun Bowl

Key point - all of these cancellations actually give fans time to cancel or change their plans and NOT spend $$$ travelling to the bowl site, staying in hotel, etc.

Now compare it to:
1) Hawaii cancelled late Thursday evening about 20 hours prior to the Hawaii Bowl
2) UCLA cancelled 4 hours prior to the Holiday Bowl

Do you not grasp the points being made?? First, both MEMPHIS and NCSU fans who spend serious $$$ flying out to Honolulu and San Diego got FUKKED by schools that were about 10 miles (Hawaii) and 90 miles (UCLA) from the game locations. Second, how is it UVA, Miami, and TA&M all somehow announced their cancellations at least 3 days prior to the game date yet Hawaii and UCLA wait until mere HOURS from their respective games?? IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT TWO OF THE MOST COVID RESTRICTIVE STATES IN THE USA CANCELLED LITERALLY AT THE LAST FEW HOURS.

Very interesting point. Maybe canceling schools, should have to pay the payout moving forward.

Sucks for NC State team and fans. This is a double whammy considering what happened to NC State during the College World Series. There should be some way for the team to be compensated.

Well I know who they are praising all the time. So that should give you a clue.

And the Holiday Bowl has been cancelled.

I'll keep it to myself this time. I wouldn't want to offend anyone.
I'm just trying to figure out how a state can be "woke". And how your geography theory works exactly? Did Texas A&M, UVA and Miami relocate?

Seriously? You need an explanation? A woke state is synonymous with blue states that have ridiculous covid restrictions. Like the state I grew up in Illinois.

It's bull**** that a team can yell covid on the day of the game. Imagine you're from Memphis and go to Hawaii to see your team play and the home team *****'s out on game day. Who's responsible for the hotel, plane tickets, etc.?

Are you telling me nobody had covid a week before these games?

You honestly need an explanation?

I was pointing out how ridiculous your comments were. You honestly couldn't figure that out? The restrictions that led to the various teams withdrawing weren't based on any state restrictions. Therefore the particular political party that dominates State government doesn't have anything to do with it. And the last time I checked Texas, Virginia and Florida were Southern States.

But there IS a huge difference in WHEN these cancellations occurred:
1) Texas A&M cancelled more than a week prior to the Gator Bowl and a replacement team (Rutgers) was named as a replacement so the game will be played
2) Virginia cancelled 3 days prior to the Fenway Bowl
3) Miami FL cancelled 5 days before the Sun Bowl

Key point - all of these cancellations actually give fans time to cancel or change their plans and NOT spend $$$ travelling to the bowl site, staying in hotel, etc.

Now compare it to:
1) Hawaii cancelled late Thursday evening about 20 hours prior to the Hawaii Bowl
2) UCLA cancelled 4 hours prior to the Holiday Bowl

Do you not grasp the points being made?? First, both MEMPHIS and NCSU fans who spend serious $$$ flying out to Honolulu and San Diego got FUKKED by schools that were about 10 miles (Hawaii) and 90 miles (UCLA) from the game locations. Second, how is it UVA, Miami, and TA&M all somehow announced their cancellations at least 3 days prior to the game date yet Hawaii and UCLA wait until mere HOURS from their respective games?? IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT TWO OF THE MOST COVID RESTRICTIVE STATES IN THE USA CANCELLED LITERALLY AT THE LAST FEW HOURS.

It is awful that these games are getting canceled. I'm as disappointed about it as anybody. It's just that I don't put any stock in conspiracy theories.

RE: Holiday Bowl canceled
Lets try to avoid this thread getting into politics. I know its related--but its just ends up being a food fight once that line is crossed.

The rest of the world is laughing at it and our enemies like Russia and China are fanning it and laughing their butts at it.

Not to derail the thread, but if you ever listened to CCP figures talk about the US you'd know that's not what they're laughing at.

Well I know who they are praising all the time. So that should give you a clue.

And the Holiday Bowl has been cancelled.

Who is that?
