Starting to get nervous.

Am I the only one who thinks there’s a decent chance that the Rose Bowl gets cancelled or postponed, or that they don’t allow fans? With how this new variant is spreading, I really wouldn’t be surprised.

I’m more concerned about key players/entire position groups being held out than the game being postponed or cancelled. It would be a shame to see starters on either team forced to sit out.

I hear ya, but here’s why I’m optimistic. California (who we all know is the Twilight Zone but they seem slightly less currently) will only do something like that if hospitals are at or really near max capacity. Which they aren’t and most likely will not be. And they are only canceling bowl games for teams who cannot field a full enough roster. And even those turd bowls are finding replacements. So not even canceled technically.

Also, in-person media availability will remain, but only two fully-vacvinated media members. Only big change is no media day on Dec 30th. 🌹

I think postponed would be the 1st option. Too much money for them to do anything unless a team can’t play.

I am only concerned about players not being allowed to play because of Covid protocol.  The kids going home for Christmas makes me nervous.

The city of Pasadena seems committed to holding the Rose Bowl with fans.  I highly doubt this changes.

It’s my understanding the new omicron variant’s mild but spreading rapidly.

Hopefully, everyone’s available to play.

I don’t love that our whole team is going to Disneyland the week of the game.
