THE QUARANTINES HAVE SERVED THEIR PURPOSE.

Milwaukee sports pundit Greg Matzek thinks it's silly to stage a college football playoff game in an empty stadium.

If Los Angeles county won’t allow spectators at sporting events, the event should be moved to a stadium in a state that will. Instead of hoping COVID restrictions are eased, the college football playoff committee should force the action.

In many cases, players have been on campus since June with limited ability to interact face-to-face with family. Players will not be allowed to travel home for Christmas.

What sense does it make loading a plane full of kids and flying them out to California to play in an empty stadium. None. Especially considering the other semi-final location, New Orleans, will have fans in attendance.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Rose Bowl…from Las Vegas.

Close.  "In another by-product of wrongheadedness by (likely) these same, public health officials, news broke late Saturday night that the iconic Rose Bowl would not be held in Pasadena…nor anywhere in the Golden State this year. It’s instead moving east to Texas."

Good.  Now to persuade the exiles from California not to bring their stupid politics with them.

The college playoff this year is ... strange.  Notre Dame might get to play a third game with Clemson, and Ohio State got in on a technicality.
