Braddah, college football has been my favorite sport for some years now. This was the most promising season for Hawaii football in quite some time for many reasons. The writing was, quite simply, on the wall.

Serious question. I never played college or professional sports. Do I have eligibility if they go to virtual football? Like Madden football?

The Mountain West Conference is canceling its fall football season, announcing an “indefinite postponement of all scheduled fall sports” and, with it, UH’s schedule, the conference and school confirmed.

“We were hopeful we could carefully and responsibly conduct competition as originally scheduled with essential protocols in place, however, numerous external factors and unknowns outside our control made this difficult decision necessary,” Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson said in a statement.

The MWC said it will, “begin to explore the feasibility of rescheduling fall sports competition, including the possibility of those sports competing in the spring, and develop options for consideration. Athletically-related activities and training opportunities for enrolled student-athletes will also be evaluated consistent with NCAA legislation and guidance, as well as state, local and campus parameters."

Maybe JJ got his wish?
Not doubting, not hating, not loving, just hoping because I am a fan.

People are adaptable and and generally quite resilient - this is terrible news but its a global context and I'm confident that UH football and college football overall will come back strongly in 2021.

At this point I am not confident about anything good happening. But on the bright side, that is usually how things feel before they turn around.

For these players that put their best foot forward thru the coaching change, cancellation of spring ball and then a summer of fears and concerns of the pandemic and of playing this season, you have to empathise with the emotional roller coaster that they have been on. Yet to my knowledge very few of the players got off. To be in their shoes and to see the daily gloom growing, yet continuing their roles as players, working out, conditioning and zooming in on team meetings is lion hearted. The decision of not playing was correct, and this page in UH football history should roar loud after what these players, coaches, and team has gone through (sacrificed) this year.

It would still seem reasonable to me to have exhibition games during the season with all travelling players tested. Maybe this is a far cry from reality but I would guess that with a Spring season some people are suggesting, there will not likely be a mass produced vaccine which will prevent the spread like people are hoping. The quarantine ban would have to be lifted and the season shortened to just a few games plus the Hawaii bowl which would also be an exhibition game.
