We may have lost that night but it sounds like Coach O knew what he was talking about with the Sissy Blue comment.

Lol. I bet they aren't giving parking refunds for all the tailgaters

Nice of UCLA to make the call so late. Really have to look out for the airlines and hotels that weren't cancelled.

This just reminds me of what happened to UT in basketball where Memphis cancelled last week an hour before tip off. This is insane and honestly will drive away fans from attending sporting events in the future.

"You get a refund" yeah on our ticket? What about travel, lodging, and food? The fans need to demand better because without them sports are nothing.

“The average weekly infection rate for the five weeks before SEC football began was 0.44 percent, while the average weekly infection rate during the SEC football season was 0.18 percent.No evidence suggests that SEC football activities have led to COVID-19 outbreaks in the communities hosting the games.”

“Our findings are consistent with a recent JAMA study that found no instances of in-game COVID-19 transmission among college football players during last year’s 2020 football season. The hypothesis that SEC stadium gatherings would result in increased COVID-19 transmission is not supported by the data.”

This is the very thing that will destroy all bowl games which aren't playoff games in the future. Nobody wants to travel across the country, book a hotel, Rent-A-Car, set up a tailgate only to be canceled out on a couple of hours before game supposed to kick off. The fans won't put up with that.

The game was in San Diego so I’m sure the State fans will be fine. Plenty to do there.

Sad that we are canceling events over the new Omicold variant.

WTF are they doing testing athletes the day of the game unless they are symptomatic. Something doesn’t add up here. No way they had that many symptomatic players that they couldn’t field a team on game day. Something stinks about this
