Just When You Thought the Football Season Was Over

Got this in my e-mail yesterday. Gopher Nation, a U of Minnesota blog, has invented the College Football NIT . Our Huskies were seeded #7 as the Automatic Pac-10 Qualifier and faced off against #2 Notre Dame.

So, we took on the Fighting Irish in the "Fridge72.com Refrigerator Bowl" in the First Round. Here's Gopher Nation's outcome of the game:

Oh, the drama surrounding this game as we have the sister of the Irish starting QB is actually dating... wait, nevermind, not that drama. OK so obviously the story here is Charlie Weis vs. Tryone Willingham Part II. Revenge for Willingham? Kirk Herbstreit is reporting that Weis's job is on the line and the Irish come through to save it for their lovable offensive genius.

Conventional wisdom would suggest that Washing is a certainty to win, but I've heard that Charlie Weis is an offensive genius. His Irish offense scored 16.4 points per game this year (that's almost 2 TDs AND a FG per game). How can a genius lose this game? He doesn't. The Irish win on 2 Tom Zbikowski TDs (did you know he is a boxer?) and a couple FGs set up by Zbikowski returns. Washington scores 2 safeties to go with their offensive firepower but it wasn't enough.

Notre Dame - 20
Washington - 18

You know, I don't think I've ever wanted a college football playoff format less. We all know the Dawgs fell short this year and it probably would have been better off just left finished after Hawaii. At least it all is fiction. Okay, season's over now. No more worrying about that.
