Dec. 27: Military Bowl — Boston College vs. East Carolina
Dec. 29: Fenway Bowl — Virginia vs. SMU

So far, four bowl games have already been outright canceled.
Central Michigan will now play Washington State in the Sun Bowl on Dec. 31 after both teams lost their original opponents because of COVID-19 issues. Miami had to drop out of the Sun Bowl, and Boise State withdrew from the Arizona Bowl.
"We are grateful for the diligent work of the Sun Bowl Association, the Pac-12 Conference, the Mid-American Conference and Central Michigan University to ensure the 2021 Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl will be played," Washington State athletic director Pat Chun said in a statement. "A special thank you to CMU's director of athletics Amy Folan and head coach Jim McElwain for prioritizing the bowl experience for both teams, especially the seniors who will be playing their final college football game."

One of the fruits of fear porn is unintended consequences of the ruling elite getting their entertainment cancelled. Broadway shows, restaurants, movie theaters and the like.
Cancel Omnia
Also feel bad for the players.
I was hoping the Rose Bowl was on that list (not too late!) - because that’s where I walk my dogs and they close the area during games.
With the recently shortened 5 day isolation period, and the fact that OmiGod is just a cold, some of these games could have been played. But by all means, let’s PANIC !!!
The teams were irresponsible by relying on what they knew were leaky vaccines and most likely were not taking any other protective measures.
this will really stop the F joe biden cheers.
The 2021 Rose Parade was cancelled and the “Rose Bowl Game” was played in Cowboy Stadium in Texas. So we Trump supporters held our own Rose Parade. We gathered in the Rose Bowl parking lot, our cars and trucks festooned with MAGA banners and signs, American flags, and Gadsden flags, and we drove along the parade route, turned around, and returned to the Rose Bowl. We were several hundred strong.
This is the only Rose Parade in which I have ever participated.
Everyone run away with your arms flailing. Someone can down with a cold. ALL COLDS have always been know to be strains of corona virus. 1000’s of strains which is why you get colds throughout your entire life.
When told the Wasabi Fenway Bowl was cancelled, the man replied that the reporter was full of horseradish.
As long as they don’t cancel The Poulan Weedeater Bowl.
The only teams who will be covid free (miraculously) will be the four team playing this Friday!
Can you imagine if this is still happening during the NCAA basketball tournament? Teams would be advancing to the next round in the bracket not by winning games but by having their opponents forfeit because of Covid.
Now this deserves to be remembered!
For the Southerners amongst us, the equivalent would be the Okra Bowl and being full of succotash! ENJOY!
Alabama Football Coaches Bill O'Brien And Doug Marrone Test Positive For COVID-19

Good they got it early so they can be at the game.
Might as well cancel the Rose Bowl as Ohio State key players are quitting on them. :-(
Meanwhile Tom Brady played the 2004 AFC title game while sick as a dog with the flu.
Bend the knee. /s
The ACC has lost two bowls and hasn’t even played a game yet.
Awesome, i love that.
Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl?
Has El Paso really fallen that far?
From the Texas College of Mines, to a Teachers college with Tony the Tiger?
