This is from a mailing list I'm still signed up for. This is doogdom at its finest.
"This was, IMO, the best college football weekend of the year.
1. Arizona steam-rolls Oregon, making the Ducks look sick. That was an excellent game. And it was an honest, straightforward game. It makes you wonder why the Huskies could not give the Ducks a better contest. Arizona came to play. My Arizona friends told me that fans were miffed when DAT aka Black Mamba starting talking about how the Ducks were disappointed to be going to the Rose Bowl, as if they had already won the game. I wonder if the Wildcats felt the same way? I don't know what fired Arizona up, it was more than just another senior day, but they prepared and played as if they intended to win, and they did. And the game was not close. There are a lot of lessons there for Sark.
2. ASU beats UCLA. I was sort of ambivalent about these teams. However, after our game against UCLA I started to really hate the Bruins, mostly because of Myles Jack. That kid struck me as being an arrogant punk. I do not know him. He could be the best kid in the world. And I know how irrational it is to condemn a team for one player's actions. But it is what it is--college football--and fans can be irrational I guess. In any event, after Myles Jack was mugging and posing last week, I was hoping the Football Gods would strike the Bruins down. I was not disappointed. I will be rooting for USC next week.
3. Washington dismantles Oregon State. The best was saved for last. No one saw this coming. No one. Playing on the road with a back-up QB, the Huskies took a 48-0 lead into the 4th quarter. 65 yard + TD run? Let's do that again. Thanks. One more time please. Thank you. Incredible. Can we have a pick 6? Thank you. Perhaps the best play was Marcus Peters' stripping and recovering the ball from an astonished Beaver. It was sort of like, "I'll take that, please--thank you."
Go Dawgs!
Go Huskies!"
