Normally, yeah.

I don’t know how you can defend having a game in a venue where family members of the players are not allowed to attend,

Be nice if the governor there followed his own advice - he should be in jail

Except that it is, apparently for many of the players. fans? Of course not. Fans are clueless obviously.

That a coach whines about something in a press conference and invokes his players as cover is not evidence of much to me.

I’m sure kids want to be burdened with less class or don’t want to be up at 5:30 or spend their summers tied to the town they live in so they can get yelled at by strength coaches to life weights four times a week. But that’s how this goes.

Shoot, some kids don’t have their parents at high school games in normal times because of jobs or other situations. It sucks. But life sometimes sucks. I don’t disagree with moving the game, but doing it just for moms and dads ain’t gonna happen. (There are probably stronger business reasons to move the games, and we will hopefully see those come to light)

There there’s not a single good reason to keep it there outside of contracts etc. Otherwise all of the sites And bowls would have the same rules but there you need to be very “unique leader” in California. Please stop trying to justify it as if it makes sense or something. Pure stupidity

For the most part, this is correct. We agree!

I'm not trying to justify it at all. I think that if a state has to be cajoled to allow spectator sports at all, finding a way to not have spectator sports is super legit. Moving the game is fine and dandy (if ND is the top seed, Indy makes more sense, less so if they are not)

But that kids want their parents there is, maybe a good reason in a moral sense, but neither a functional nor good one in a real world sense. I'm sure those kids really, really want to spend Christmas with family. And a lot don't get to so they can play in deeply inessential bowls. (I'm also sure they want to do what they want the night before games ... but this is not allowed either)

Yes. I think it is the California Governor’s latest restrictions which are making this challenging.

If you had the opportunity to read that article what Kellie is saying is that he personally doesn’t think his players want to play across the country if their families can’t attend. He is saying that first they have to get to the playoffs but if they do his players have already been pretty vocal about what they’ve been through this year.

It probably is a hollow threat but I can certainly understand why a player would feel that way. Why can’t they just play in Indianapolis or the Cotton Bowl or somewhere where families could attend.

I agree. So yeah, let's take kids from Ohio, Alabama, Indiana and South Carolina and ship them to California, where they can't have any fans and can't do a f'ing thing while they are there because the governor is an idiot control freak.

F that.

Yes! YES!

Do that so the housing prices are lowered and I can move closer to friends and family.

What if there is no place left to work? You might look at Austin.

the playoff tells the 4 teams where to play

Big is just lucky to get an invite to the party
