And the College Football season begins!!!

And Cal marches down the field and ties the score at 7. Joe Ayoob was 4/4 for 55 yards and the TD on the drive.

Oh, sure, root for the bad guys. Ya namby pamby flatlander.

Unbelievable. Washington allows Cal to complete a 3rd & 14 and a 3rd & 24 on this drive.

Go Cal!!

I gotta say, I am liking the instant replay in college. Some really bad calls are finally being reversed, like Cal's second TD.

*whacks Dimwhit with a stick*

What happened on the TD play? I can't see the game and have to follow along online.

 

[Dimwhit]

It was a long pass play. The ref ruled it incomplete, but the replay clearly showed he had the ball with a foot about a yard inside the field of play. Not sure how the ref missed it, but it got corrected.

Of course, Washington just fumbled a punt return but the ref called the guy down, and they didn't look at it. What goes around comes around...

And stop hitting me with that stick, dagnabit!

I have faith that Willingham will turn around the UW program, just not this year. I see 3 wins for them, 4 if they get lucky. It's a sad time for this longtime Husky fan.

Pick-em games so far

final --

ND over Michigan (missed that one, but it only cost me a point; Michigan had no business being ranked #3 anyway)
Virginia Tech over Duke
BC over Army
Auburn over Mississippi State (dropping 10 points here has allowed me to sneak into second place as I write this)
Iowa State over Iowa (on the other hand, if we had any Cyclones fans, I'll drop when this registers)
Cal over Washington
Georgia Tech over UNC

in progress -
South Carolina leads Georgia 9-7
Boise leads Oregon State 14-7 (I'm glad I only put two points here, but I took Oregon State as part of my "never go against a BCS team playing a minor conference team at home, unless the BCS team is a perenial doormat and the minor conference team is really good" policy)

He'll fix them, but yeah, probably not this year. Watching the game, it doesn't really seem to be as close as the score shows. Washington has had a few lucky breaks that have kept them in the game. But I am impressed with the Huskies this year. They are vastly improved. They just need another year to really click.

Doesn't help that the Pac-10 is very competitive.
