Washington showed how to win without a passing game.

Good OL with power running back.

Nice to see the Huskies surprise everyone last night, including Nebraska. Great win for the Pac.

After looking at the Arizona v. Oklahoma State game I’m sick! How in the hell did we lose to those guys? I anticipate a blow out at the Holiday Bowl which will also make me wonder how did things get so bad as to lose to the Huskies?

Forgot to mention, someone posted that the game was moved to Candlestick (neutral site) because the Giants were scheduled at ATT.

Mr B

Thanks for the kick. I was following asleep watching this site.

I’m in SoCal
When Fresno State played USC a few years back, some of the local feeling was – why did USC schedule Fresno; a state college located in a desert area?? They aren’t a draw. The Fresno staff(I believe head coach) stated they expect 35,000 State fans to LA .
Neutral site, not included as a home game; Fresno State is going to gobble up those tickets. It will be
50/50 attendance. It’s an away game for both teams;
we shall see.

@ Calduke:

I thought I read somewhere that Fresno State made a “neutral site” a requirement before scheduling the game with our Bears…

Whether that recollection is fact, I don’t know.

But it does provide a convenient reason to get upset at our opponents. Hahaha!

Hope that’s OK as your requested kick.

@Calduke: My guess is that this was the mechanism to schedule a game against Fresno State in the bay area without agreeing to play a return game in Fresno. I speculate that JT felt pressured/obligated to play his alma mater but that nobody associated with Cal wanted to play an away game in Fresno. FSU probably objected to scheduling an away game with no return home game.

Someone please explain to me why the Fresno State game has to be considered a ‘non-home game’(left off the season tickets) just because it had to be moved
(5 miles?) due to a conflict with the Giants game??
If the game had been played at ATT, would it be a home game and included with the season ticket.

My wild -ss guess is the the school made an agreement with the promoter and the promoter wanted to get a larger venue and ‘open ticket’ sales because Fresno State fans/boosters are good travelers and will be a major buyer of tickets.

Someone kick me

Any chance for a NEW offensive coordinator?

Do you think 2 brothers would compete against each other?
