USC--San Jose State game canceled?

[Deleted]

Saw this on the 4 letter board. Rumors are starting that the fires in Cali might cause the Trojans first game to be canceled.

Not good for USC if this happens. You don't want Barkley first college start to be in the Shoe...at night...against a top 5 team. Even though San Jose State sucks it's still good experience for lots of new faces on their team.

Agreed. This would favor UOS.

I doubt it will happen but it would be great for us.

It may or may not, but if you are following what is going on out their right now, it is very possible.

I am not familiar with the area.

It is very bad, I read the smoke was all the way to Denver.Did you see the fire tornados? Unreal!

You don't think moving it to a neutral site is more of an option? I'd think this is what USC would push for given they have a lot to lose if their team plays rusty in their first game. They have had tough openers before and played well, but they've never (in recent history) started a TF at QB.

It's a little hard to schedule a neutral site in 4 days...

Yup. This is the first time that USC has ever opened the season with a TF at QB. I think the last time a TF started a game was when Todd Marinovich was there, so it has been a while.

Was this your original source?

Their scrimmage with San Jose State will likely be rescheduled due to the fires. Call it an educated guess on my part. Things are getting BAD out there. - GB

Same thread, but I used the actual article and not GB's windbag rumors. After I saw the article, I went to a different board and saw they were talking about it too.

I did like the scrimmage line, though

That was good.

I love the idea of us being their first game but my prayers go out to all the men and women fighting the fire as well as the people losing their homes.

We can smell the fires in Vegas so they must be pretty bad...

The Hayman Fire outside Denver in '02 was bigger than the current Station fire outside LA but I got calls from friends and others around the country who assumed we'd been evacuated with fire leaping up the sides of our house, and the city of Denver burning down. Of course that wasn't remotely close to true, but the sky was fillled with smoke, creating a sense that it was actually a cloudy day -- just like now where the sunsets in Denver are extra orange due to the particles in the air from the LA fires ... like the ash in the air around Seattle from the volcanic erruptions in Alaska.

Maybe the USC team will be so distracted by the 'fires' back home that their focus won't be on winning in Ohio, but I'd be shocked if the game tomorrow is cancelled and from news today - 48 hours newer - things in LA are far better.

Got this email from a client who is an SC Alum/season ticket holder -- I asked if the USC/SJSU game was going to be cancelled due to the fires -->

"No…the UCLA game is probably going to be cancelled…SC game is far enough away…the Rose Bowl is literally a mile away from the fires though…"
