What an interesting weekend of football.  We’ll have full coverage of it on today’s Happy Hour, but here were some things that struck me as interesting enough that I would sit down and type them out.  Either that or things that aren’t good enough for use on the air.  You decide.

• I’m already sick of hearing about what a testament to the toughness of the team Arizona’s 2^nd half comeback was.  Grit, determination, toughness, resolve; theses are all words in some form that fans have been using to describe the effort.  The 2^nd half effort may have shown those qualities in the team but here are some other words; unprepared, unfocused, sloppy, poor, shredded.  Those words describe the first half effort, which was just as much of a reflection of this team’s personality.

• That being said, what an amazingly entertaining college football game to watch.

• I also decided during this game that it does bother me that Oregon uses 73 different uniform variations.  There’s still a cost associated with producing all those jerseys probably offset by all the Ducks fans who then purchase the new merchandise but it’s still an off-putting move.  At some point in the future, Oregon will have uniforms made entirely off sewn together 100 dollar bills. 

• Did anything else remotely interesting happen in college football this weekend?  I don’t think so, unless I completely missed it which would be concerning because you know, it’s my job.

• Wait a second, they are now making movie trailers for video games?  That’s just annoying.

• Seriously, the NFL may have just had its Tim Donaghy moment.  The officials in the Steelers/Chargers game reversed a last second TD by Troy Polamalu because of an illegal forward pass.  This decision came AFTER reviewing the play and it was obvious to anyone that didn’t have gambling vision, that there was no forward pass.  The result of wiping out the TD?  The spread was preserved and covered by the Chargers.  There is absolutely no other explanation that makes sense.

•     Always a lot of fun to watch a football game in the snow, especially for the first time.  The aforementioned Steelers vs. Chargers game was played in true winter conditions.  Meanwhile, its sunny and 80 degrees here and somehow I’m the one jealous of the freezing fans.

Lots more tonight on the show about Arizona football, Arizona basketball, the NFL and what ever else I can come up with between now and then.
