Bowl Cancelled due to COVID

[TxFrog1999]

Due to an increased number of positive COVID-19 tests and other circumstances within the TCU football program, the 2020 Mercari Texas Bowl has been canceled.

“While we are disappointed in canceling this year’s game, we look forward to hosting both the Texas Kickoff and Texas Bowl next season,” said David Fletcher, executive director. “We appreciate everyone’s support, including our new title sponsor, Mercari.”

Tickets that were purchased for the game originally scheduled to take place at NRG Stadium in Houston will be refunded and processed by the outlet it was purchased through, including Lone Star Sports & Entertainment and Ticketmaster.

I am SO disappointed. Not much to do on New Year's eve now except get drunk at home.

Dang.

I’ve had this weird feeling all week that it was going to get cancelled. Probably just from scrolling the ESPN app schedule and seeing how many others already were. Still bummed though.

There must be some more bad news coming. Donati says in a statement that over the last 24 hours we could not overcome Covid, injuries and other circumstances.

Injuries? Other circumstances? Who got hurt and who else quit?

SMU doesn't count, as their dodge at the end of the season nullified our dodge at the start of the season.

I'd imagine he's talking about players that either opted out or have declared for the draft (e.g. Pro Wells) left us below the required number of scholarship players. Hopefully nothing major.

Maybe one or two others that we don't know about too, but yeah that sounds about right, and that leaves us with less leeway to absorb a COVID outbreak.

Arkie got lucky.

this reminds me of the runt in HS that would run his mouth and have to get ‘held back’ by his friends.

or also the college coaches that have the strength and conditioning coach hold them back - which is one of the more ridiculous things I’ve seen grown men do.

If only we had a crazy TCU lady yelling at people in stores for not wearing masks

So, assuming our next game is Cal in FW? Or does California still have lockdown by next September? (Likely, ha)
