Video footage has surfaced on social media showing a large group of students, some suspected to be attending Cal Poly, partying at Pirate’s Cove on Saturday.

Barstool Cal Poly, an affiliate of the blog Bar Stool Sports, posted video clips on Instagram showing students huddled closely together at Pirate’s Cove and surrounding two females doing a mock football drill. In the video, the two females begin lying on sand or mud, one holding a football.

They then get up and collide with each other in similar fashion as is done in an “Oklahoma Drill” conducted at football practices. Both females fall to the ground after colliding.

Onlookers who were huddled around the females are seen jumping up and down, bumping into one another and screaming after the mock football drill.

Additionally, a photo taken from above Pirate’s Cove that day shows a large crowd gathered on the beach. It is unclear how many of the individuals gathered at the beach on Saturday are Cal Poly students.

The Tribune reports Cal Poly has launched an investigation into the beach gathering.

Cal Poly spokesman Matt Lazier told the Tribune students who do not follow the university’s coronavirus rules, which include physical distancing and wearing face coverings, can face sanctions up to suspension or expulsion. As of last week, the university had suspended one student for violating coronavirus rules and was in the process of suspending another one.

Student coronavirus cases at Cal Poly are currently on the rise. As of Monday, a total of 113 Cal Poly students have tested positive for the virus since July 8. Of the 113 cases, 92 are students living off campus and 21 are students in on-campus housing.

There are currently 12 students living on campus who are in isolation.

Remember Stugis had 460,000 people and apparently could have had up to 240 cases linked to it, the idea these 200 people are going to impact anything is pretty slim. What a bunch of Karen’s all you critical people are. More likely to get other diseases rather than corona from this crowd.

So all the Dems are blaming Trump for not handling the Covid crisis, well you can lead the horse to water but you can’t make him drink unless you physically try to force him so do you want the USA to be like China and completely forcefully rule you? It’s sad that these students don’t have a clue that their actions also put others at risk but do you think they would listen to any adult. ” Not “

do you think they would listen to any adult.


That’s why the adults need to take some responsibility and slow this Covid train down before it runs back off the tracks and shuts SLO county down again.


Higher education is easily delivered remotely. These students could have received their education remotely … over the Internet. A professor can deliver a lecture live, or recorded, just as easily as in person.


Instead “the adults” invited these students back to SLO and now they are holding superspreader events. Soon they’ll be downtown shopping, dining, etc., asymptomatically spreading Covid to the locals.


Tests will spike.


SLO will move back into the purple zone.


More businesses will be shuttered.


Just so kids (who could be learning online) can get back to partying.

Send them home. We can get along just fine without them here. Anyone else tired of the trash, traffic, noise and crime from these entitled adults?

Can’t, Heidi needs the votes.

Inexcusable… all those students violating covid rules at the beach, when they COULD have been gathering at downtown intersections to protest for social causes.

Looks like SLO Brew Rock re-opening the first time. Made the mistake of popping in there once. Didn’t stay.

At least they are not blocking the freeway and depriving others of their freedom. Who cares if they want to party. It’s their lives.

“There are currently 12 students living on campus who are in isolation”.
