'Twas tongue-in-cheek; some may remember that I'm the Stanford guy rootin' for UW this year. Many of us SU fans knew that we had to have reduced expectations this season, and that was before our Fall graduates leaving; the Covid quarantines; plus the myriad injuries which have decimated SU this campaign. Some advice: RELAX...you will be one of the top, if not the top, seeds in the NCAAs. Keep your eyes on the prize! In this screwed-up "season", the NCAA Tourney's the only thing. We just want them to play. They want to play. We want them to play. That's all. Well, those members of Stanford's defending 2x National Champs surely wanted to play...this past Autumn...also. Due to the draconian protocols of Santa Clara Co., they couldn't even practice for most of the past thirteen months (let alone just being on campus). Ten matches was NOT what they, nor we, had in mind! Peace out. |

I keep reading people all blaming Santa Clara County, but how has your women's basketball team (in the national semis) been able to practice and not had a game cancelled since December 11th according to its schedule? |

I keep reading people all blaming Santa Clara County, but how has your women's basketball team (in the national semis) been able to practice and not had a game cancelled since December 11th according to its schedule? This has been covered many times. When the Santa Clara County order was issued in late Nov, Stanford paid for the football team and the men's and women's BB teams to live outside Santa Clara County. The rationale was that their seasons had already started. They did not pay for any other teams (i.e., the spring teams and the fall teams whose seasons had been moved to the spring) to live outside SCC. The SCC order said that if you left SCC and did something prohibited by the SCC order, you couldn't play/practice in SCC until the order was lifted.
If you're interested, check the Stanford thread (and IIRC the PAC-12 thread, though it's mostly in the Stanford thread, where it should be). |

Math is impossible this year. I guess this clears up the whole NU player tweeting “it wasn’t COVID related” and us all scratching our heads! Clears up everything except the "why?" I am guessing we may not find out what was going on. |
