DAYS LATE...
...but no dollars short because of this.
I heard the guys on KJR the other day talking about the Huskies' thrashing of the Ducks. One of the guys nicely noted that Mike Bellotti adjusted stupidly after Cody Pickett was knocked out. How?
Well, Cody gets knocked out, so the inexperienced Casey Paus comes in. Good, right? The sensible defensive scheme, then, would be to absolutely stack the line and make the newbie quarterback beat you through the air. Makes perfect sense.
What really happened? The Huskies had freshmen running backs Kenny James and Shelton Sampson run roughshod on the Ducks. Stupid stupid stupid. Softy joked that it was like the Ducks were playing one of the Seahawks defenses from the next day; I'm thinking the third-down defense where they have a 3rd-and-15 and they drop back in pass coverage and a no-name running back finds a seam and gets the first down.
But anyway, this was really a no-lose situation for us all, as Jeremy and I would have laughed at whoever lost the game, and it just so happened to be that the Ducks lost and not the Huskies, though the Huskies losing would have made for much more gratifying listening experiences to KJR.
Well, that post was worthwhile if you cared at all about college football and stuff. I barely do.
