Tulsa 12/12 Cancelled

[Gilenerm]

According to McMurphy, UC COVID issues are the source of the cancellation

Dean Straka with CBS just confirmed the same. It really sucks to find out that we are the issue. Was hoping that we could keep it together without any issues. This means we will now have 3 weeks off before playing SMU in Dallas, which is not ideal.

The game for this Saturday has been postponed until Dec. 5

I am glad we have schedule flexibility to move game to December. For those testing positive, prayers for speedy recovery and mild or no symptoms. Get well soon, then get back out there.

The AAC title game had wiggle room built in. It can either be played on Dec. 12 or 19 depending on need. I’m betting it will be on the 19th because this is probably not the last cancellation we’ll see.

We might have to reschedule SMU, if we have a 14 day quarantine

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we don't play another game this season. The COVID is much more prevalent, but it is becoming much less lethal.

Was looking forward to the game Saturday, but I had a really "bad" feeling about it.

I doubt that the SMU game will be affected. Shut down practices/activities, and keep testing. The 14 day quarantine for close contacts is without testing. CDC provides close contacts can resume activities if they have two negative tests at least one day between testing. The vast majority of players should be able to resume practice early next week (pending their continued testing and adherence to safety protocols. Next Man In. Even players that were tested positive have a shot at playing in the SMU game.

Date change and we’re TBA again

Time and channel are still To be Announced. Seems like we found out last week about this time day.

And now they are announced .

This game has been cancelled entirely as of today. It will not be made up and we will see Tulsa next weekend in the AAC Championship. The site will be determined by the CFP rankings that come out tonight (?), which means it will 99.9% be at Nippert.

just another in a long line of disappointments in 2020. The good news is that we haven't had anyone seriously affected - well at least that we know of - and we are well stocked for 2021. I am concerned about playing in a championship game where we haven't played for four weeks.

[coach]

This is good for us. We weren't going to get any added swag for beating Tulsa twice regardless of what anyone thinks. They're going to be off two weeks as well. I would have rather played one game for it all from the start particularly swapping a time change game at Tulsa for a home game in cold weather here. Not to mention they're lobbying Dewine to let fans in on a limited basis. Beat them soundly and it's all good.

[Bearcat Chris]

With the chilly weather and UC's 17 game home winning streak, UC wins by 20.
