A sports story that is not really a sports story: Stanford @ Cal postponed to 12/1

Air quality issues due to the Camp Fires.

Sporting News

"First and foremost our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by the tragic California wildfires," Cal coach Justin Wilcox said in a release. "While we realize the importance of the Big Game, right now our thoughts are centered around so many who have been so deeply affected. Our primary factors in making the decision to postpone the game were centered around the health and safety of our student-athletes, fans and everyone involved in putting on the game. We look forward to seeing you in Berkeley on December 1."

The Air Quality Index on Thursday afternoon in Berkeley surpassed 200 — into the "very unhealthy" range.

Cal canceled Thursday night's men's basketball game against Detroit Mercy because it was determined a significant amount of smoke had seeped into Haas Pavilion. Following NCAA and Pac-12 guidelines, Cal's outdoor athletic team practices Thursday also were moved indoors or canceled out of safety concerns.


Stay safe, Nor Cals!
