Kudos to Alex Brink and company for a resounding victory over Daisy, Daffy, and Donald. Besides the annual trouncing of the Huskies, there is NOTHING more satisfying than beating the new nation of arrogance, the Oregon Schmucks. Add a running game to a weak opposing defense, and little Alex becomes THE MAN. And so he was today, 20 of 23! That’s lights out, people!
With the win, the Brink-led Cougs have clinched no-worse than a tie for the coveted NW championship, and in so doing, are ONE stinking win from bowl eligibility.
On top of that, win at UCLA next week, and we return home 6-3 to face an Arizona team to go 7-3. Do that, and we will find ourselves in the Top 25 again for the first time in 3 years!
That all said, with the injuries to the DTs and Brackenridge’s hammy in tow, next week is going to be tough.
UCLA will be ANGRY after choking a lead to Notre Lame in South Bend, but if we weather the storm early, we’ll be alright, cuz offensively they’re just not that good and with the 3-4 and a healthy Tyrone, our D is THAT good!
Moreover, Brinkhater believes that the Brink-led offense now has confidence, momentum, and a lack of top quality opposition to slow Brink down. IF the DTs can come back by ASU, dare i say the Holiday Bowl is in site–assuming that CAL and USC go to the BCS with one loss records…
In any case, with 9-3 and 8-4 real possibilities now, its time to get excited again about Cougar football!
Brinkhater’s no-brainer score for next week:
WSU 38 UCLA 27 (we win in the Rose Bowl, unless, of course, we’re playing in the Rose Bowl)..
Enjoy the win Brinkhater army! Enjoy the win!
