Have read a couple of articles(including local) and heard some national rocket scientists about Andy Ludwig. His bio on the Cal Bears website refers to him as "one of the nation's top offensive minds". Am I missing something? I won't deny the guy was part of a magical 2008 season for Utah, but the Utes ranked 35th nationally in total offense. The defense really carried them and finished 11th. They had three wins by 3 points and another by 2. They beat New Mexico and TCU scoring 13 points. Their senior quarterback Brian Johnson marched them in for game winning scores near the end of regulation three times. Let's not call this guy a genius just yet. He's been around 20 years and just because Cal has beaten up 3 cupcakes he's "anointed". We all saw his work. He's a pretty good coordinator, I'll leave it at that.
Looks like Matt Barkley will be back at quarterback for USC. Is there a team whose shoes you'd LESS like to be in this week than Washington State? Oddsmakers have installed the Trojans as a 44 1/2 point favorite. I also saw that Stanford is a TD pick over Washington despite the big Southern Cal upset.
Saw "Real Sports with Bryan Gumble" on HBO last night. A segment on dog fighting. Some of the pieces of dirt involved kidnap people's dogs to use as practice for the vicious monsters they're creating. They tape their mouths shut so their animal can learn to kill. It was horrifying. There is talk Michael Vick might play for the Eagles this week. I know he's been doing the tour & speaking to young people about how to avoid his trap and that's great. Hopefully some good can come of this. It's still obscene he's already back in the NFL. I remain disgusted.
Remember, we're at Sam's Place on Wilson Street off West 11th doing today's show. They will be giving away a pair of 50 yard line tickets for the Cal game Saturday morning at 9:30.
Okay, let's give away some loot. Will award a $50 gift certificate to Cafe Zenon downtown, plus some Oregon apparel. E-mail your answer to the following to stevetannen@live.com
Was talking on yesterday's show about Tony Romo who has posted some nice numbers, including 36 TD passes in 2007, but has failed miserably in the playoffs and late season crunch time games. Not to mention he blew the big debut of the new Cowboy Stadium in front of the world. Since the merger of the AFL & NFL(1970), there have been 3 quarterbacks to lead the league in touchdown throws three consecutive years. Who are they? Good luck.
