Bit of exaggeration, but you're right, happy solstice.

I will definitely record that and watch early AM tomorrow before work; sad to admit I am starting to feel more surprised when games are played than when they are not.

A Festivus for the rest of us....

Likewise. These "Other Games" threads seem outdated ( cursed? )

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

A shout out for Reno putting this out for us regularly. Thank you so much Reno.

Hear, hear!

Thanks too to all the mods who put up with so much jazz on here and keep coming back for more! :-) Thank you for allowing us to have this GUBoards community.

Good story line. Leon Rice returns to Spokane to face his alma mater with a couple of Spokane kids on the roster. Should be a good game. WSU finally looks fairly healthy so I think they’ll be too much for BSjc.

ASU bound to open soon. Maybe time for RB to go back home.

Fortunately there was no dip in the pool before I dropped my shorts in the Dr's office earlier this morning. Unfortunately she DID diagnose a classic case of shingles. Edited to say the new vaccine (which I got 2 years ago) is 91 percent effective ... by getting it treated early (and being vaccinated) I'm hopeful that it shouldn't be too bad. But I WAS thinking about George Costanza before seeing this thread getting Seinfelded.

I’ve heard there’s a great new post onset med that works wonders but has to be introduced early early.

Per ESPN:

The Big East men's basketball schedule continues to be disrupted by COVID-19 concerns as Wednesday's game between Georgetown and Providence has resulted in the third cancellation and forfeit this season.

Because of COVID-19 issues within the Hoyas' program, per Big East policy, the game will be a forfeit and a loss for Georgetown and a win for No. 22 Providence, who entered the AP top-25 rankings after a win vs. UConn last week.


Sorry to read the bad news on the medical front, GoZags. . .

Texas Tech 78, EWU 46 F

Texas 68, Alabama State 48 - F

Liberty is on to the Final Four of the Diamond Head Classic as they beat Northern Iowa 76-74.

PAC12 has "adjusted" its basketball administration policies (in light of the C-19 resurgence ). Press release:

https://pac-12.com/article/2021/12/2...2021-22-season

Excerpt:

In the event a team is unable to begin or complete a regular season Conference contest because of the unavailability of participants due to COVID-19, the Conference shall reschedule the contest, while being mindful of student-athlete health and safety considerations. If the contest cannot be rescheduled, the contest may be considered a “no contest” upon review and approval by the Commissioner. The Conference office shall have the option to levy a forfeit in the event league standards of sportsmanship are not met in the process of attempting to reschedule a contest.

This policy shall be retroactive to any results beginning with the 2021-22 Pac-12 basketball seasons. Therefore, the previously canceled December 5 UCLA at Washington men's basketball contest may be rescheduled at a mutually agreeable date or declared a no contest.

I maybe way out of bounds here but: Shouldn't there be ONE set of adjustments across all conferences ??
