San José State Football Returns to HSU

Humboldt State will welcome back the San José State University football team for training and practice ahead of the start of their 2021 season. SJSU athletes, coaches, and staff have all been fully vaccinated and will continue to observe general safety practices while at HSU.
The team will begin to arrive Wednesday, July 28 and depart Sunday, August 8. The public will be invited to view a team scrimmage on Saturday, August 7. More details will be released closer to the event date.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for the Spartans to prepare for their season in the beautiful Redwood Bowl,” says Cooper Jones, Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics & Campus Recreation. “We’re glad to assist San José State as they kick off the 2021 season with Fall camp in Arcata. After last year’s safe visit, and a very successful season for SJSU, we are happy to invite them back and support the team this semester.”
The Spartans will live and practice on campus, all while essentially maintaining a bubble to prevent contact between the team, the campus, and the local community. SJSU will have access to the Redwood Bowl for practice and training, and will use the Student Recreation Center outside of current open hours so HSU student access is not affected. HSU has been in close contact with Humboldt County Health regarding this agreement and will continue to adhere to county, state, and CDC guidelines.

Why? Just why?
Appears San Jose is still on full lockdown.
College kids will live in a bubble? That’s a good one.
This is a wonderful opportunity for HSU to squeeze a few more bucks out of them.
Glad they are using the Redwood Bowl as it was intended. Football!
Maybe this is a new model, summer sports camps at HSU, cooler climate, great community, and the venues (soccer field, football field, basketball gym, etc.) are awesome. What could be better than running in the redwoods for your training!
That’s good thinkin!
wonderful !
Last time they were here they were all “bubbling” down at the AA.
What a joke !!
Is there really an accent on the hozay?
Even with ALL CAPS?
Does the official website of S.J. know that they’re supposed to do that for us?
Do we sufficiently prostrate ourselves in honoring the Spanish Empire who presumed to conquer all of California without the need to involuntarily bind into servitude and/or commit genocide upon the entirety of the population in the euro-boundaried region it couldn’t possibly get around to setting foot upon, let alone dominate? Wait—can we blame the Russians for conquering California?!
Hillary? Nancy?
Love me some neo-Spanish mission hollow façades!
Conquer, San José/HSU Spaniards! Kill the Hawaii Warriors and force Catholicism upon them!
It’s weird how much history hasn’t been cancelled yet, right?
Anyway, Jackson: There better be some goddamn Lumberjack football back here soon.
