It's true!  31 points is the most Georgia has ever scored in a losing
effort.  The previous high was 28 against Texas (who scored 41) in the
1949 Orange Bowl.

  Some final notes on the game.  Wisconsin played an awesome game.  The 
stats indicate a blow-out, but Wisconsin didn't make any key mistakes and
were still in the game until the fourth quarter.  Wisconsin probably has
the biggest marching band I've ever seen.  No wonder it cost $100,000 to
bring the band to Seattle.  I also liked the spunk of the Wisconsin fans.
At the time (after the game) I found it annoying, but they were partying
and acted like the owned the place  :)  

  For those who think there's something "wrong" with this Washington team,
there are some things to consider.  One is the lack of experience of the
replacements.  IMHO, the replacements are doing a good job.  By the end of
the Wisconsin game, the defensive unit looked solid.  The offensive line
needs a little more work.  Another reason is that Wisconsin played one 
hellova game.  Those guys were fired up and quite talented.  You could tell
they did their homework.  One of the Wisconsin receivers watched films on 
Washington cornerback Walter Bailey for 2 months and fried him several times
for big-time receptions on Saturday.  A final thing to consider is that
Billy Joe Hobert had a bad day.  He spent too much time in the pocket, looking
for deep receivers.  Brunell seemed to throw more screen passes, which kept
drives alive.  All in all, full credit goes to Wisconsin.  There are no 
excuses to be made by Washington fans and players.

  I'd just like to give credit to Wisconsin players, fans, and their band :)

Looking forward to the Nebraska game.  Let's see if the Nebraska fans are as
spunky as the Wisconsin fans.  I expect a very tough game on the field and a
VERY noisy stadium...  Everyone will be wearing purple...  EVERYONE, except
the Nebraska cheerings section, that is!!

After the game, Grbac said that he tried to throw the ball away to avoid the 
pressure of the rush.  Apearently, he was more aware of teh rush than he was
of the zone defense.  Throwing the ball away is the best explanation I can 
imagine for how badly he "missed" that receiver - he must not have been trying 
to hit him at all.  Then again, throwing the ball away into the middle of the
field was pretty silly.  Either it gets intercepted or you get intentional
grounding since there is no eligible receiver in the area.

Hey Tony,

The score was 71-21.  You obviously missed the last G-W touchdown in the
4th quarter where the G-W wide receiver was taunting the UCF DB's as he
ran into the end zone.  Besides,  I heard a story that Coach McDowell's
response to the G-W coach's griping about the score was something along`
the lines of "It is not my job to stop my player's from scoring, that is
your team's responsibility".  ALSO, Coach McDowell APOLOGIZED to G-W for
the reverse play.  He never intended for it to be called.

   Not up to your usual standards David. What FSU has to worry about is
after slapping around (and I mean HARD) the ACC they may try to rest of
their rep when they play Florida. This series is one of streaks and nobody
chokes better than Bowden (excepy ANY Michigan coach). Florida will be the
only team you play that has better skill positions than you (including
Miami ) and that may shock the Noles, your lines will have to win this one
and remember all they did last year was puke!  *cheap shot* Seriously
though I know since the "Seminole Rap" woofing is an offense at FSU
punishable by expulsion at FSU, so I will woof for you (not anti-woofs
either :). FSU is head and shoulders better than the ACC, these chumps
better learn to consider second place the old-timers championship, cause it
is all they are gonna get. Your hardest games will continue to be UF and
UMiami and you are due for a win agianst the Blowhards ans a loss to the
Lizards. (Notice I avoid how UF will do against the Dawgs  ;).

Maybe this is just my southwestern ignorance but do people from Ohio and the

Aha!  The ol' Anti-Woof.  Well, two can play at that game!

Cal, having a dismal road record with non-conference foes, will not
only lose a heartbreaker to Purdue (at least I'm sayin' it'll be
close, mind you - the anti-woof gods don't listen to "they're gonna
beat us by 30"), but will be so disorganized from having their MNC
(ha!) hopes dashed, will not be able to recover by the Thursday
evening Kansas game and be crushed on Natl TV.

(That last part, I predict, will actually come true.  Cal has a
*truly* dismal NTV history.)

Looking forward to seeing a game in B10 country (I grew up a MSU
fan)...

We've got 12 athletes at Arizona State now in various stages of arrest, jail
and/or probabtion.

One guy ran up $13,000 on somebody's elses credit card.  They really
cracked down and made this kid from a New York city slum write a check for
$13,000 and pay it all back.  Of course nobody asked "how come he can write
a check for $13,000?"

Three days before the opener against Washington, our 1st and 3rd string
quarterbacks are suspended for being in trouble with the law.  Our 2nd
string guy (starter last year) just transfered to Ohio State.  Our new
1st stringer was a linebacker last week.  Fans who show up at the game will
draw straws for #2 and #3.

They're sodding the prison yard now and are talking about it as a "neutral 
site" for next weeks game.  

What amazes me is some of these guys have had really shit lives.  They get
handed an opportunity most people would die for and then screw it up.  Why?
Our 1st string quaterback was burglarizing stores by walking in where everybody
could see him, grabbing a handful of merchandise (well, $750 coats and stuff
like that) and then running out.  

What is this kid thinking?  His picture's in the paper every day, he's on
television every night so he knows he'll be identified.  What he's thinking 
is "I can get away with it because I'm the starting quarterback for a major
college football team."  I'm a big ASU fan but I'd rather watch a
linebacker be a quarterback than a quarterback be a criminal.  This crap is
getting way out of hand at alot of fine universities and I want to see
the NCAA put a stop to it.

   Gee Bill, your last post that said "Michigan would have beaten
   ND if the Rocket wasn't playing" sure sounds like bitching to me.

Naw, you brought up the game and were bragging about it.  So I pointed out
one of the key features that you seemed to be missing.  I never said that
your team didn't win fairly, didn't deserve to win, or would have lost if the
game were played again.  Again: I don't understand this attitude that
somepeople seem to have that if you discuss any aspect of a game other than
the score, and you are not praising the winners, you are bitching.  

On top of that, you were trying to get a rise out of some fans by posting
toung-in-cheek inflamitory notes.  So I responded in kind, trying to get a
rise out of you.

No problem.  If Michigan goes undefeated, they go to the Rose Bowl, where
they will follow tradition and lose to the Pac-10 team.  The percentages
on the Big-10 contender losing the Rose Bowl are a lot better than the
percentages of scoring from your own 20 with 1:05 left and one time out.

Now Mark, in all sports overall, in a ranking in performance, Wisconsin did
very well in both men's and women's sports (top-4 in both), and this did
not even include men's hockey (since no Big 10 exists for that).  Sure,
Bucky bites in the "big" sports, but we aren't all that bad.  You probably
should add Purdue to your "crummy" sports list, and remove Wisconsin.  The
Boilers finish between 8th and 10th overall in this list consistently.

Because Chris is wrong.  (I've sent him mail about it as have probably a
lot of other people.)  If he handles it like he has in the past, the
pick won't count and he'll treat it as a 17 game entry.

According to the schedule that I have, Duke does play Vandy this week.  
Rice is idle.

UCLA and BYU kick it off at high noon (mountain time) in Cougar Stadium.
The last time UCLA and BYU played an afternoon game Steve Young and the
Cougs prevailed in the Rose Bowl.  Since then, UCLA has won three night
games.

BYU has never lost two games in a row in which they were both played
at home with Coach Edwards at the helm (in his 21st season).

I pick BYU by a point over SDSU and pick BYU 27-24 over UCLA...

The Cougs are eating humble pie right now and are hungry to redeem
themselves against another opponent.  Look for BYU to play tough...
