Hawaii’s most lucrative and highest profile football game in jeopardy

The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors are supposed to get a chance to prove themselves September 19th, when they're supposed to play the Oregon Ducks who are gonna be the number 10 team in the country.

The Rainbow Warriors already have NCAA rules on what bowls team and trophies teams can play for based on conference, which hurts them; now they have to deal with potentially missing a chance to beat a top ranked team due to covid.

Governor Kate Brown of Oregon said “There is some difficult news to share, Large gatherings, including live sporting events with audiences, concerts, festivals and conventions will not be able to return until we have a reliable treatment or prevention, like a vaccine.”

It could be months or even a year before there Is a vaccine for the virus. It is understood that health and lives come before liberties and luxuries. The schools should be given a chance to play with no fans in attendance barring they meet standards.

Governor Brown went on to say " “The Oregon Health Authority is advising that any large gathering, at least through September, should either be canceled or significantly modified. I know this is really, really hard. I will miss visiting our fairs and festivals this year."

Can't get more modified then playing in an empty stadium. While it takes the home field part out of it for the Ducks,  it would allow them to continue to develop students who's careers are at stake.

Like all big named ranked schools, whenever questions about playing the Rainbow Warriors comes up, The Ducks ducked the question.

The athletics department at Oregon released a statement, “We will continue to work with state and local officials, public health experts, and campus leadership in navigating all of the unprecedented issues surrounding COVID-19 and when our student-athletes will be able to return to competition. The health and safety of our student-athletes and community will continue to be our top priority.”

Since the school is running from the Rainbow Warriors, Had to go and see if the team could go duck hunting. According to Ferd Lewis who gives hope for a chance for Men from Hawii to play the children from the mainland.

Lewis wrote, "Oregon’s state health officer and epidemiologist, Dr. Dean Sidelinger, told the media", “So I think as we approach football season, we can see how the disease is behaving in our community, what kind of steps could be taken around the team themselves and the coaches and others around the team to see if they can safely start. But as you heard from the governor’s remarks, large gatherings will likely not be happening through the end of September. So if — or when — those activities resume, they would likely resume without the fans in the stands, but hopefully the fans watching them from a screen in the safety of their own home.”

That's great news for the Rainbow Warriors, as there is a possibility that the cowardly Ducks, Might have to play the jetlagged Bows from Hawaii after all. This is a must play and win for Hawaii, who due to NCAA bowl rules; doesn't have a realistic shot ever at the National Championship.
