Well, in the language of WSU fans everywhere, "They Coug'd it." I didn't see the whole game, but the minute I saw that the ESPN guru's were picking WSU over Colorado I KNEW that the Cougs would lose. Just one of those things. It's like a sixth sense, or perpetual pessimism. Expect the worst. And if they win, hey, all the better.

They didn't look all that great last week. We'll see if this loss can galvanize the team and maybe a winning/bowl season will be our reward.

On the plus side, the Seahawks are off to a good start. They could go far this year.

And, if you like underdogs, check out Fresno State. I'd be scared if I were playing them.

And to Susie -- tough break. I never expected ND to get past UM. Sorry 'bout that.

I also watched the Miami - FSU game. That was a thriller to be sure. The Kid was watching it with me and she was pulling for Miami. As she went to bed, she made the comment that there was no way Miami would win. When I told her that they had won in OT, she exclaimed, "It's a miracle! I don't believe it."

Ah yes, football is back and all is right with the world.
