I really hope no one else caught it, and that the player that did doesn't suffer lasting damage. I hope the players are properly minimizing their risk for the health and safety of everyone around.
Is that wind coming from the north or a giant sigh of relief from the entire state of WA that they don't have to grind through another 4-hour rockfight against us?
Shame it had to happen like this. I hope everyone recovers quickly.
The only silver lining that I can find out of this news is that at least the University is taking the contact tracing part of the COVID protocol seriously. I have my doubts that that aspect of things was truly followed by other schools (or pro teams) around the country. Hopefully, all the other players under quarantined do not get the disease, and the one(s) that did get it will recover.
As you can probably tell I'm emotionally charged right now, if it as caught at like a store or restaurant I'm fine that's an innocent place, but if this was caught at a frat party on campus during halloween someone needs to be taught some damn responsibility regardless of their standing within the team.
Hopefully we will be able to play against ASU, depends on how long quarantine goes and whether additional players test positive I guess. They did the right thing.
Terrible optics for the program and the conference. Why would any blue chip recruit consider Cal or the Pac 12 with how clear they've made it this season that they don't really care about football? 1 positive test on the whole team gimme a break.
Based on nothing but a hunch, I think the cancellation is likely due to the quarantined players testing positive as well... Hopefully I'm wrong. And hopefully whoever got it recovers fully and quickly.
Sad bear noises 😢

I know damn well it was probably brought in by someone who went to a Cal Halloween party those things go crazy even when not everyone is campus.
This season should never have been played. I hope the players who caught it recover with no long term issues
Cuz Cal....

*hello darkness my old friend*
We spoke with Coach Wilcox and broke down the local public health rules that led to the game getting canceled here: https://writeforcalifornia.com/p/why-cal-football-canceled-washington-huskies
fuck.
I blame myself for prewriting the gamethread with the line "Cal actually gets to play a game"
