SDSU on the fires
Just talked to an inside contact at San Diego State, and he said the following::
*UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero and SDSU AD Jeff Schemmel are in constant contact regarding the fires.
*After going through the same situation in 2007 - fires knocked the SDSU's game against BYU from Oct. 27 to Dec. 1 - the Aztecs are certainly understanding.
*As of Monday morning, both programs are far away from a point of no return.
*Wednesday will likely be the day they make the decision.
*With the two schools being located so close, with no airfare involved, makes travelling a lot easier.
*But they haven't gone down that path yet.
*Final comments: "To be honest, it's too early in the week for talk about cancellation. Today's call was to bring everyone up to speed. There will be continuous contact throughout the week."
*"Barring a really severe situation, this will go away."
Hmmm... I'd hate to drive all the way to LA and not have a game, but such is life.
I have family that lives just off of Linda Vista, and they said it's actually not that bad where they are, about 1/2 mile from the Rose Bowl. Since the bulk of the fire is moving into the Santa Clarita Valley, I'm hoping that the fires aren't too bad towards the end of the week - especially given the fact that the weather should improve substantially by mid-week.
Obviously, however, concern about the football game is way down the list of concerns for everyone involved in this, I'm sure. Still would be nice to have something to look forward to on Saturday.
Things will decided much earlier than Saturday, I imagine.

Jon, was Willie Mobley at practice today? That would indicate his transfer is fully complete.
The game time should be changed to 7:00-7:30. The comfort level will be improved over 4:30 as well as the air quality in the evening. It could be miserable at 4:30 with poor air quality and high temperatures.
