There is so much misinformation about just what is going on with vaccinations. Sacramento County says only tier 1A which is some essential health care workers and residents of some care facilities, yet I know many whose only category is that they are over 65. They all got shots,...one couple already has had their second...and they all said no one ever demanded proof that they were in Tier 1A. Even saw people who appeared to be well under 65 (though I cannot say those people weren't frontline essential workers.) One person could not get an appointment but drove their spouse who had one. Clinic gave both of them shots and booked them both for No. 2. I try 20-30 times a day and can't get anywhere other than we're all booked, try another time.

Or waiting for some other school which is on the line...leading again to “not going to happen.”

Spartans' season ended with a thud in a 34-13 loss to Ball State.

San Jose State had a heck of a season, defeating Boise State in the MWC championship game.

To be, as they say, "fair and balanced":

For the moment at least there is an exception to Hawai’i’s strict quarantine. You can travel to a few of the islands after a negative test from approved testing programs. My neighbors took off for Thanksgiving week on the spur of the moment, taking their three children (grade school to college) with them. If you could arrange the practice facilities, could you do an NBA type bubble in Hawai’i? Send the whole league there? Probably not with mid-major money.

Could they follow the 49ers example and play in another location? JC gym in Sacramento or Solano County? Golden 1? Share a gym with UOP, St. Mary’s or, shudder, Sac?

Thanks. I assumed as much, but would it have killed some copywriter for the Beg West to add a sentence or even a phrase to that effect? "....which had previouslytentatively been rescheduled for the spring of 2021..."

Announcing on December 10th that you are cancelling fall sports is, as I said in my earlier post, "slightly confusing."

Given that the release was issued in December this is only slightly confusing, unless it means that even thoughts about delaying fall 2020 sports until spring 2021 are now being cancelled altogether.

So that would be that “fake news” I’ve been hearing so much about?

It was ASU. Meanwhile UCLA and Utah cancelled, so PAC-12 sends Cal to LA.

Gotta be tough on the scout team, many of whom may not have travelled to Tempe. (OK, I know there won't be scout team practices. And how do you prepare for an opponent on two days, while you are on the road, and weren't even scheduled to play each other in the revised season schedule?)

Ivy League now cancelling winter sports:

...and Indiana beat Michigan today, 38-21. Indiana the Beast of the East? (Though to be fair, the Hoosiers have a lot more experience playing in front of small crowds.)

Anybody have Indiana beating Penn State in overtime on the road?

I'm a generation up on you. My dad was in college as the war broke out. Finished his undergrad in three years and medical school in another three because curricula were compressed for the war effort. Went to Europe in the army of occupation in '46 or '47. Had an uncle who was in heavy combat. I think he was in North Africa, but for sure landed at Anzio and spent three days under fire in a foxhole on the beach. My Dad says the uncle (his brother-in-law) was never the same when he returned. Probably what we now call post traumatic stress disorder.

And to wander further off topic my father-in-law was a pretty decent baseball player. He was stationed in the U.K. as a mechanic in the army air corps during WWII. They would patch up planes after bombing missions to get them ready for the next raid, then play ball the rest of the day. A bit like "M*A*S*H" in that they would often play against other airbases in England. I always joked that he kept the world safe for democracy by playing ball.

Point made, and it does feel weird. The whole season feels weird. I follow a Big Ten team out of family loyalty. The conference started play last weekend. Coming up on the second weekend of play and the Wisconsin vs Nebraska game has already been cancelled. Those two teams could be competing for the conference’s West division title, but they will not play. All very strange.

(Not to be a jerk about this, this is not the first season the Ags have not played football. (Three "nots" in one sentence...?) UC Davis started playing football in 1915. They did not compete in 1918 due to WWI and from 1943 to 1945 due to WWII.

I have to begrudgingly admit there are practical reasons for names on the uniforms. Look at a program like USC. There are so many players that numbers are repeated with a number on an offensive player and the same number on a defensive player. The game program (at a small forutne) doesn't help as much as having the name on the jersey does.
