State fans are throwing an absolute hissy fit over their bowl cancellation. Doernan, who apparently is unaware of how things really work, blames the NCAA because UCLA was infested with so much COVID they had to withdraw. While it is unfortunate this happened only hours before kickoff, does he really expect that this creates a special situation? The game was in California, for cryin' out loud and if too many UCLA players tested positive there wasn't going to be a game. Besides, the NCAA had nothing to do with it. The NCAA doesn't control the bowls. State is lucky - they're getting the trophy as if they had played, but the NCAA is not awarding them a win, so they, a la UCF, awarded a win for themselves so they could have that elusive 10-win season. The rumors that UCLA waited to let anyone know of their situation are now largely debunked. Memphis, which found itself in far-off Hawai'i is accepting its fate, but not our friends from Raleigh. They are exhibiting their usual sense of victimhood and claiming a win they did not earn on the field.
