Amazing, since that means they will lose a lot of money. Supposedly, Rutgers is next in line to play in the bowl.

This won’t be the last episode....might be several bowl games which get a new team or two.
I expect March Madness to go the same way, where you have three starters out with Covid and the team debates whether to attend and do a dismal showing for the initial game.

Utah State is pressing to replace A & M. They’re a great team this year.

It could very well be over if the NCAA members adopt the new NFL protocols...
It will be amazing to see just how many players magically heal.

Man, A&M is having a lot of hardships.
I just read about the crash of that two seater plane into the cemetery next to Kyle Field stadium last night.
The Aggie fire department is in scene and has recovered 200 bodies, but they vowed to keep going through the winter break to recover them all.

Speaking of Utah, three Mormon women are in a car, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head.
Who is driving?
A: their husband.

What’s the difference between Auburn and Cheerios?
Cheerios belong in a bowl.

I think it was more than COVID. They don’t play until the 12/31. They just lost their starting abs to the portal. I think another player opted out.

Rutgers won 5 games this year.
Which is like a 10 win season for any other school.

Several players decided to go pro also. ESPN reported that the team was not able to put enough players on the field.

According to SEC rules, they did not meet the minimum requirement for players. However, the rules also state it is still the school’s option. So much for the 12th Man tradition.
