A dedication to Bud Geraci who I grew up reading in the San Jose Mercury News.
Houston Texans became the first team in 25 years to win a game with negative yards passing (-5) thanks in large part to the Oakland Raiders stellar offense and Stooge GHkowski’s three missed field goals.
Across the BAY could at least brag about the future of their offense and who could complain about front row seats to the Reggie Bush coming out party, like the ones the 49er defense had.
College football needs a playoff. The BCS is a sham, just ask Michigan. Imagine playoffs. 1. Ohio State vs. 8. Boise State (the BCS did get this one right). 2. Florida vs. 7. Wisconsin. 3. Michigan vs. 6. Louisville. 4. LSU vs. 5. USC. No style points, campaigns, politics, stolen seasons. Just good old football.
I take it the memo got lost for those who had penciled in a USC vs. Ohio State Championship game including USC. Note on memo; a little school crosstown has its own National championship game against their heated rivals, and they have nothing to lose or overlook. There is no better time to ruin the season of a team your second rate too who has beaten you 7 straight years. Note in UCLA locker room for motivation. A win will keep us from getting zapped by the 5.0 for studying in the library as it will force our student body to hit the streets partying like the last time we have beaten USC. Party like it is 1999.
So the University of San Francisco must feel dumfounded for not thinking of Steffan Johnson as a solid blue chip prospect and letting him slip to Pacific. Johnson lit up the Dons for 23. The cities private college had their eyes on Johnson but could not seal the deal.Swoop, swoop, come up.
 Anthony Brown’s defense on Allan Wiggins would have made his sister proud, 2 time All American for the Stanford Cardinal Candice Wiggins, who was the punch line of many humorous verbal jabs. We got yo back Anthony Brown. The Cameron crazies have nothing on Pacific fans’ cleverness.
Texas A&M learned their lesson last year in the hands of the Tigers and a sign of a good team is not making the same mistake twice.
It looks like the women’s basketball team is starting to recover from the Craig Jackson era by braking a 25 game road losing streak, beating St. Mary’s 75-67.
By the way as of Tuesday both men’s and women’s basketball teams have the same record 3-4.
The high school football game of the year was played by West High of Tracy and Merced High for a chance to play at Pacific for the Division 1 section championship. Merced beat West in overtime. Merced will face Vacaville.
You have to love the parody of the NFL. You also have to love the fact Martin Gramatica did not hurt himself after the game winning field goal against the New York Giants after replacing T.O’s and Peyton Manning’s best friend.
From Croatia to Stockton, the men’s water polo team has found overseas success. Duje Kaurloto earned the prestigious Newcomer of the Year Honor while Dragan Bakic earned Third Team All-MPSF honors. The Giants managed to fill three holes this week with bargain signings in an overpriced market but need to put together a reasonable package in order to keep Manny Ramirez from being traded to the dreaded Dodgers.
The A’s should be hoping that Barry Zito will accept arbitration rather than facing him 4 times year in an Ranger uniform. If only the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors could stay healthy. How do you hold a team to negative 5 yards passing and 124 yards of total offense, score a defensive touchdown and still lose a game, unreal, it sucks being a Raider fan. Here we come Brady Quinn.
