2020 The Game that Wasn't

[Turbine]

They've only been playing football for 18 years.

Irresponsible kids.

I like the rematch idea, if contracts can be changed...two top 20 teams in the Camelia Bowl is a huge get for that bowl. ESPN has the clout to get this done.

It's not a "rematch" its a Bowliticized Championship.

So does everyone on here truly believe if this were to happen a couple weeks from now in the playoffs that the game doesn't go on? If you think it does your fooling yourself they will hide this as if it never happened. Money will trump this bulls$%t all day long.

Fire Gill for this. I’m sure the vote will be 11-1. T-Joe has a lot of irons in the fire, needs to add this one.

This is the biggest lie a commissioner dropped on UL since DICK Oliver of the SLC mailed the MBB championship trophy to USL (first championship after death penalty) instead of presenting it in person saying it was the way it was always done yet pictures were available from the prior year’s presentation.

Be thankful in all circumstances the Bible says. Yes! Thankful I can pull for Cincy tomorrow.

+1!

So, if the rumor is true that a coach got Covid and tracing is the reason the game is being canceled, does that mean no actual players got Covid???? And we're canceling the game over that? This stinks to high heaven.

[WestUCajun]

Yes it does stink. The Gumbo Hens were afraid to play us and risk an undefeated season and the Sunbelt powers gladly complied and cancelled the game.

[Tripple Threat]

When Napier tested positive, he quarantined himself. Did his testing positive cancel a game because of contact tracing? I don’t remember how that was handled.

ok, bad choice of words on my part....

Ok
Reality
CCU flopped out of SBCG.
NOW WHAT?
I agree with the next best thing :
Play them in a bowl.
If we’re to win tomorrow , and Tulsa won, we “had a chance” to make it to a NY6.
However, after I saw the travesty of a two loss Florida dropping ONLY ONE SPOT -after losing to a 3-5 UN ranked, BAD LSU team, leaving an undefeated Cincy team BEHIND them, I doubt that would have occurred.
If we won tomorrow, and Cincy won, we would be back to our bowl choices that have been discussed on this board for the last two weeks (nothing really exciting)
If we lost tomorrow, same thing.
Now, we have a bowl with meaning against a higher ranked opponent.
Let’s make some lemonade out of this jar of phis that CCU just dumped on us!
