Beat me on the thread by a minute.  Cool that they are playing the game but that has to be tough on whoever is planning.

I’d imagine all if UNM’s games will be played on the road this year.  Also I merged yours, @sebasour & @#1Stunner threads into one.

Cool! Though is it true that NM hasn't even practiced yet? Are there safety concerns for the players going into a full contact game situation if this is true? I didn't play football, so I don't know this...

It's what our local soccer team did this year. It's a bummer, but you gotta take what you can get I guess

Can UNM play this game?  What has changed if anything since last week when they said they couldn't play?

[Bronco7454]

I'm struck by the fact that they did NOT do this exact same thing last week for the Colorado State game.  Instead they chose to announce that THEY, i.e., New Mexico, would not be playing AT Colorado State last week.   And somehow that game was ruled (apparently by the MWC) to be a "no-contest".  When it absolutely SHOULD have been ruled a FORFEIT by New Mexico.

I would love to see a statement from Craig Thompson explaining what changed in Bernalillo County that allows New Mexico to travel to San Jose this week when they couldnt travel to Fort Collins last week.

I doubt if we’ll see anything about it from the MWC “leadership”.

This seems like just one more step toward cancellation. I’ve had this mentally penciled in as a bye since the schedule came out.

I thought that one reason was the 14 day quarantine by going into the state and that NMEX if they left state would have to quarantine for 14 days when going back.. what the hell changed

They might have decided that they just aren't coming back for awhile.  They're on the road the week after to Hawaii.  I.e. they could decide to just stay on the road for a month and see what happens.

Big change in New Mexico from this week to last week

Wow, I didn’t realize Covid was so much better under control in Cali than in New Mexico.

Well, didn't Colorado have unhealthy air due to the fires last week.  That's one reason.  Also, it might have occurred too late in the week to make it happen.

The positivity rate in Santa Clara County is 1.5 - 1.7%.  The issues in California are really near CSU-Carson and CSU-Fresno (So Cal and Central Valley).

Sorry UMN won't be able to host the game. I had SJSU winning this one before the change of venue.  Go Spartans!
