The Baylor Bears - Cal Bears game preview from last week's NYTimes:

Although California is returning 15 starters from a year ago, it is a group that finished the season at a woeful 1-10. A year's worth of experience should help, as should the change at head coach, but this is a team that still has a hill to climb. Baylor, on the other hand, has been steadily climbing that hill, increasing its win total in each of the past two seasons. The Bears should do at least one better once again this year, starting with a win Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Most uncanny prediction I've ever seen...

<< Amazing debut for Tyrone Willingham as Notre Dame's head coach. Rockne must be grinning in football heaven. >>

Ty did good. I don't envy him the spotlight he is under. Dennis Dodd of SportsLine had this to say about Ty:

Tyrone Willingham. However this guy ends up, you'll never see him sweat. Under the glare of a national telecast in New York, Notre Dame's new coach backhanded the defending ACC champions. Willingham showed in the season-opening victory over Maryland that he is a cool tactician who just might be able to survive the outrageous Notre Dame expectations. He has shown he can put up with all the other "stuff" -- and there is a lot of it in South Bend -- and concentrate on the bottom line. Notre Dame is short on talent, team speed and difference-makers at skill positions. But with his guidance, it looks from here that Willingham will win at least eight games, pull a couple of upsets and lift Irish hopes everywhere.

We had a mini I-AA version of the event here Thursday evening.

On Tubby Raymond Day, In Tubby Raymond Stadium (the "Tub"), in front of Tubby (closest we'll ever come to Rockne), K.C. Keeler, Delaware's first new head coach in 37 years, eked one out over perennial I-AA power Georgia Southern who came in ranked 5th.

Go Hens!

Meantime, Kudos to Papa Joe for number 328.
