The Holiday Bowl between the North Carolina State Wolfpack and the University of California Los Angeles Bruins was canceled Tuesday due to a COVID-19 outbreak within UCLA’s program, ESPN reported.

"We are extremely grateful to the Holiday Bowl, students, fans, sponsors and the people of San Diego for their support this week," UCLA athletic director Martin Jarmond said in a statement. "We are deeply disappointed for our young men in the football program that worked extremely hard for this opportunity. My heart goes out to them. The health and safety of our students will always be our North Star."

Let’s skip all the bowl games this weekend, rip off our masks and take a nice walk out in the woods. Get some fresh air.

Why aren’t they postponing them? It’s a lot of money for these schools.

The schools are stuck on stupid—as many of us have suspected for years.

Um.. no self respecting southern girl would ever forgoe a few hours of football and go anywhere. Man up kids, roll tide. This is the last weekend of sports played by men.
Sorry, hockey makes me cold just watching it.

Massive loss of money. I feel for those traveling from NC. They will be spending weeks getting refunds: tickets, flights, cars, rooms, etc.

They can always play at the Fauci Bowl.

Masks are optional ... for certain people.

What’s the deal if one of the final four Covid outs Friday? Say Alabama is shut down due to Covid and Michigan/ Georgia play. No way Cincinnati and Alabama can play and turn around for a 1/10 championship. I would assume one of the four crapping out due to Covid will cancel the whole shebang.

I thought Holiday Bowl was a song by Lindsay Buckingham.

Photo of Fauci thoroughly enjoying his freedom with mask down ....

“So I said to my buddy Xi, ol’ pal, if we succeed in getting half the American population killed off without you firing a shot, then how can you still promise me to be the People’s Socialist Impeccable Leader of the American Province of China? So he says, “Don’t worry my dear friend. You can still rule over the people left who didn’t get the shots. Don’t be a bully, my friend, that’s my job.”
