Sunday morning QB

Random thoughts about yesterday's college football games...
  • UCLA was completely outplayed by Stanford, the score closer than it should have been. They are good defensively but need a lot of help on offense. Still, a good foundation of offensive players who could be stars in a better environment. It's a young team. There's definitely hope.
  • Oregon smashed Washington State, may climb in the rankings, with added pressure to bring their screwup star back. I don't like what's happening in Oregon football at all, haven't ever since they sold their soul to Nike for a new stadium. The mess down there is a long way from being resolved. My prediction: the star will be reinstated. Other teams will bait him. Finally he'll break again, and the mess will be uglier than the first time, the coach will leave or get fired, and it's back to square one.
  • Caught the last half of the Idaho game. They looked good. An unusual coach! He hugged players who did something well, he climbed up to greet student fans at the end of the game.
  • Washington should have beaten Notre Dame but the latter made THREE goal line stands, two when Washington had first and goal on the one! All credit to ND defense but, man, if you can't score on six tries from the one ... Washington, too, has a bright future, I think.

Chores and maybe some writing today.
