UCLA Game in Jeopardy?

[GooooMarquette]

Newsome will impose strict new rules on SoCal when the ICU bed availability dips below 15%, and speculation is they could reach that level this weekend. If it does, it seems like it would jeopardize the UCLA game. We have already seen the 49ers, Stanford and Cal move games when the rules were preemptively imposed in the Bay Area, so I would have to believe this would affect our game in Westwood.

I hope UCLA is proactively looking at alternate sites, or perhaps just coming to MKE. Other teams have shown flexibility in setting up neutral site games on short notice (Omaha?), so hopefully we don't lose this game to the pandemic....

We all know any strict new rules Newsom hands down will apply to everyone but him.

Play the game in Las Vegas! UCLA could bus here and we have plenty of arenas.

The low hanging fruit would be to just play the game at the French Laundry.

Ha...I'm sure chef Keller would love to feed the refined pallettes of these young athletes!

No problem with your comment - but get it off of here. Put it on the Covid board.

Cracked me up. Well done.

UCLA said game will be played as scheduled. No fans obviously.

Good to hear.

Is UCLA sure?

As of now. Obviously that could change.

With BLM on MUs unis, we could just call the game a protest.

Well played.  +1

The game won't be lost to the pandemic. It would be lost to the commie hypocrite Newsom. That is the correct reason.

winner!

Does anyone honestly believe MU is going to play every game currently scheduled?   Please.

Not at all. I'm surprised that they've played 4 already. However, if a game does get cancelled I'm going to get super mad at someone and vent on Scoop. My entertainment > others health and safety!

No one has said or implied any of the sort in the slightest way in this thread. And you both know it.

I think there's a decent chance of it. That said, there are only 6 more games currently scheduled, since we haven't seen the full Big East schedule yet.

The discussion has been whether the UCLA game will go off on schedule.    The discussion had drifted toward the political.    My question was appropriate and there was nothing wrong with my tone.

Did you see the win over the Badgers?

[nyg]

UCONN just went in quarantine.  I give it two more weeks with the Thanksgiving surge coming and entire NCAA season in jeopardy. 

[tower912]

At best, the season is going to be choppy, no flow and MU will be lucky to get 20 games in.

Basically what Tower said plus it's only pragmatic to expect multiple games to be cancelled. Willie positioned the possible cancellation of the game not as a health/safety measure but that of a 'commie hypocrite' (one of those descriptors he uses properly the other I think the real definition escapes him) i.e. blaming a specific person. I was merely pointing out how silly/selfish that angle is.
