Why not some good news: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...weeklong-pause

Oregon resumes practice and plans to play. Also Villanova is scheduled to play again soon after nearly a month pause due to two separate Covid shutdowns.

More good news. College baseball teams are now practicing. Hopefully that will lead to games being played this Spring. There's a D2 school near me (Point Loma Nazarene University - home of the Sea Lions) and they have a real nice field overlooking the Pacific ocean.

I like good news! It doesn't happen very often these days, so kudos to Oregon and Villanova.

Vanderbilt women's basketball calls off season due to Covid and injuries.

I really think that is what postponed the Santa Clara/Gonzaga game in Spokane. Saint Mary's across the Bay can for example travel just fine as can USF in the WCC.

It is what happened. Santa Clara County makes no exceptions.

Thanks laker. I didn't know that. They're a lot better than our MBB team. Santa Clara County has the toughest Covid-19 regulations that I know of. Those teams have been based in Phoenix, Arizona since the season began. I guess the women had enough and decided to go home. But once you return to San Jose you might not get out again due to those Santa Clara County regulations.

So it really is like in the song Hotel California. "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!"

I thought I'd loosen things up for a second during this pandemic with a laugh before more dominoes fall. And today is Betty White's 99th birthday. Kudos to her!

I just saw that San Jose State women's basketball has called off their season. I thought you would be interested.
