HAWAII 32, FSU 29 OT

It is a distinct possibility that there will be a two-loss team in the BCS championship game on January 8th in Miami, but I am very skeptical that it will be Fresno State, their excellent schedule nothwithstanding.

After tonight's 32-29 overtime loss to Hawaii AT HOME, let's recap this glorious season so far.

9/1 - A 24-7 win over Rutgers, who is now 1-4

9/13 - A 13-10 loss to Wisconsin, who is now 3-2

9/20 - A 55-54 2OT win over Toledo, who are 1-4 and lost to Ball State 31-0 tonight

9/27 - Another monumental win over a BCS opponent, 36-31 vs. UCLA at the Rose Bowl. UCLA is now 1-3 and has been outscored about a billion to 5 this year. And they scored 31 points off of Fresno State's defense when Bullard High would probably have held them to 20 or less.

And now this masterpiece tonight. Hawaii moves to 2-3 and Fresno State is in a class with Weber State as a team that has lost to the Warriors. Weber State lost out on the island, however. Pat's boys managed to turn that feat at home in front of a sellout crowd.

Several things are pretty clear at this point. First, the disappointing season of 2006 wasn't an aberration. Last year's winning season was.

Second, Tommy Brandstater makes Paul Pinegar look like David Carr. Get rid of the freakin' ball, for crying out loud.

And finally, Hawaii is FSU's daddy. Everybody do the Haka Dance now!
