The Tucson curse strikes again!

At least they're presumably vaccinated and not just "immunized" like a certain alum. Hoping their symptoms are mild and they're back on the field quickly.

Also, supposedly 99% of the team was vaccinated right? I certainly hope they got a real vaccine and not the Rodgers Crystals and Herbs Rub Down vaccine.

I guess as part of Aaron Rodgers’ cash donations to the football program, he sent along a side of COVID to go with it… 🤦🏽‍♂️

Well, we shall find out come game time who they are. The good news is the game is going to be played unlike last year where our entire position group were affected and we didn't have enough players to compete.

Wilner reporting that, "roster depletion significant". Also wrote, "could only happen in Berkeley, lots of frustration". So is it City protocols we are following...again?

You can not lose to a team that hasn’t won since 10/5/19 v NAU...COVID or no COVID. A loss would be devastating for Wilcox, and would be the nail in the coffin for this disappointing season.

Just a question of who it is. Trivial or Fatal? All depends on who.

Maybe not the right thread, but I've gone from being a huge Aaron Rodgers fan to absolutely detesting the guy over the last 48 hours. He's now taking medical advice from Joe Rogan. What an embarrassment to himself and our fine university.

PAC-12 protocol is 10 days of isolation if you test positive. Would like to know if there were any positive tests vs. contact tracing. If they were positive before Wednesday, they could make the next game.

This feels like the first stage of what will be a test of many stages to get to a win.

When the hell did the City of Berkeley, a municipal entity within the County of Alameda, have enforcement power over the University of California-an entity of the State of California? When did cities become more powerful than the states? Isn't it in federalism the order downward federal, state, county and then the city? UC as an entity of the state does have the assets to carry out the COVID testing enforcement of its students and athletes. I know, malfeasance is now an acceptable tool of governance.

The spell-checker switched to through from throw. This sucks and is the end of the hope for Cal football this year. The Peoples Republic strikes again.
