Apparently, someone didn't get the memo...

Most people by now have probably heard that Thursday's Cal Football game has been cancelled due to the imminent arrival of Hurricane Ivan on the Gulf Coast.

However, Southern Mississippi Football head coach Jeff Bower is unhappy about the plan because he was, um, not informed our decision.

From the AP Bulletin:

"That was (Cal's) decision," Bower said Tuesday. "That was a unilateral decision (which was) totally wrong by them. They didn't communicate with us whatsoever. We had told them we would make a decision by noontime on Tuesday - plenty of time to decide their plans. They were dead-set on not wanting to come. Very unprofessional."

I hate to point it out to you, Coach Bower, but we Californians aren't so good with inclement weather. Especially hurricanes. That's why we live in California. So, you shouldn't be surprised that we decided it was not in our best interests to travel across the country to play a game in the middle of the path of what is now a Category 5 hurricane. But hey, maybe that's just the element your team prefers to play in.

In any event, California will still play/destroy Southern Mississippi @ SoMiss, with the game probably to be re-scheduled for an early December date.Email This Post!
