College Football is back.....
As I've said in years past, the only thing that makes this time of the year bearable for me is the return of College Football. (I hate the fact the days are getting shorter and cooler weather is just around the corner.)
I enjoyed watching USC and Hawaii last night and my UW Huskies play at BYU on Saturday. I think it's the first time Husky Coach Sarkisian has been to BYU since he played there - it should be interesting. Concerning USC, they have a new Special Teams coach and he had several different schemes when USC completed their PAT. I think he'll drive his opponents crazy as they try to defend all the different variations. And I doubt the kicker is too happy, it seems like most of the time USC decided to go for two points instead of kicking the ball. |

During the height of all the Conference changes wasn't there something involving JerryWorld? I seem to remember some scheme that would have allowed one of the Texas schools to play their home games there. |

X-Man – Good luck to your Huskies tonight! I was looking at some point spreads earlier and was surprised to see the Huskies traveling as a pick’em game against BYU. I don’t know that much about either team (except Locker) but I do recall BYU had a great season last year. Someone in Vegas likes your dogs my friend!
EDIT: (I had to add this snippet... a nice little "did ya know".) PROVO, Utah (AP) -BYU is honoring some of its former great quarterbacks this weekend as the Cougars host Washington in the season opener. One of them will be busy coaching the opponent. Former Cougar Steve Sarkisian is entering his second season as Washington's coach. He's one of eight BYU quarterbacks selected to all-America teams that will be honored at halftime Saturday. Sarkisian says he won't be too nostalgic during the festivities. He's the head Husky now and says his focus needs to be on his team. Sarkisian led BYU to a 14-1 season in 1996. The only loss that year happened to be to Washington. Last edited by CL Pgh; 09-04-2010 at 01:06 PM. |

The Huskies are really fortunate to have Sarkisian and I hope he stays for a long time. I had a chance to attend one of their open practices last month and was really impressed. Ironically, I was a little disappointed when Sarkisian got the job because I was hoping Jim Mora would take it. Mora went to the Seahawks and turned out to be a disaster. Now the Huskies have Sarkisian and the Seahawks have Pete Carroll - I'm in football nirvana. Concerning the BYU halftime recognition, it will be interesting to see how the crowd reacts to Sarkisian's mention. |

Well, that didn't last long.....
Not only did the Huskies lose, they didn't play that great and the play-calling by Sarkisian was questionable at times. About the only positive I can see is the early loss should eliminate all the banter about Locker being a Heisman candidate. That should take some pressure off of him and hopefully elevate his performance. I still think the Huskies can have a great season but they have a lot of work to do based on yesterday's performance. |

Hated to see Boise State win in the last two minutes...
Typically I like Boise State - I think they're well coached and very entertaining to watch. That said, I hate the fact that every year there's a BCS controversy concerning their record and their strength of schedule.
I knew if Virginia Tech could beat Boise State all the nonsense about Boise State playing in a National Championship game would go away. It almost happened but Boise State manage to rally in the last two minutes and beat Virginia Tech. As I recall, Boise State only plays two real teams for the entire season and they've already beat one of them. Here's my prediction that Boise State will go 13 - 0 and there will be endless conversations about whether they should play for the National Championship. |
