given the shake up that occured in the top 10, the next biggest game this year may be november 10th in berkeley, ca. of course, i dont want to get too far ahead of myself but damn....

go bears!

One hell of a game indeed. That guy was about

• 6 inches from the goal line and
• 6 inches from the sideline when he fumbled, and the ball wasn't more than
• 6 inches from the pylon when it went into the end zone

Talk about a game of inches.

This is the first time I've seen the "fumble through the end zone is a touchback" rule really affect the outcome of the game. I believe there was one in 1990 but I didn't see that game (Russell White of Cal was the fumbler).

Cal - Oregon produces some of the craziest games ever played. I was actually at Memorial Stadium to witness the comeback win from 30-0 down in 1993. The game in 2004, the one Cal won on essentially a missed extra point, is totally tame by this series' standards.

Go Bears!!!

P.S. No, I'm not looking forward to November 10th yet. After a home game against Oregon St. (which never seems to be easy...I still remember the quadruple overtime game in 1996), Cal needs to go visit UCLA and Arizona State which are a combined 9-1 with no losses at home....
