For all the reasons I dislike UT, there is more reason to dislike Cal. As for football, I'm a little tired of hearing about how great the Pac Ten is. USC beats nobody, but is in the top ten. They got theirs last night, against the team who'd lost earlier to Northwestern and scored only six points, They scored 41 in Los Angeles.
I kept hearing about how great Cal's quarterback was. Then I saw him and thought I can't pull for that guy. And Texas got screwed on the ejection of their starting safetly, early. I understand the process and the intent. But guys making a football play shouldn't be penalized with ejection when the ball carrier makes an unexpected body movement late in the tackle.
I guess that a year from now, I'll be writing something here, and laugh about Texas' missing of an extra point to lose by a point. If you watch the alignment on the play, it was really funky looking. He was like a guy who just hit a really nice five iron, but realized too late that he didn't line it up carefully and hit it into the trees on the right because he wasn't headed in the right direction from his stance.
I am not one of those guys, perish the thought, who has any agreement with the sentiment I've read here recently that for the XII to be good, Texas has to be good. That is nonsense. I just want them to beat the other major conference teams when they play them ....... sometimes. But then go 0-9 in the conference.
