Weekend football report

Before I get into that, a few notes on Saturday night's Catsino Night: As cool as I could have hoped. We were in the historic lobby, which gave us a grand view of a few planes (Alaska 737, Continental Express RJ, Delta MD-88, and what I believe to be a United 757) and the front end of the runway. So we saw planes just after touchdown, likely as they were just deploying reversers.

Just for showing up, we were given $10,000 in chips (play money, of course), except that most minimum bets were $1,000. Roulette was $500. I immediately gravitated toward the poker table which had two other folks. My first hand, I was dealt K-9 offsuit, big enough to play since there were only two others. Flop includes a nine and two undercards, so I've got top pair and top kicker. Dude keeps betting out at every opportunity and soon I've invested my whole stack. He flips over 3-5 offsuit.

And he wins with two pair.

I flashed my wife a look of anger she rarely sees. She implored me to calm down.

"The dealer was giving him instructions on how to play," she said. "What do you expect?"

I did buy back in and skipped poker for a while. Instead we had a grand time playing blackjack; I about broke even. So at least that part went well.

Anyway, on with the football. A fairly large list, I'd say, since we weren't even home on Saturday night...

Hmm... I noticed the Oregon/Washington game wasn't on there! I am very concerned that you missed Oregon beat Washington and jump to number 5 in the nation!

GO DUCKS!

Well, here's the problem. GamePlan has its limitations; notably, it doesn't show games on any FSN affiliate.

As a consequence, we miss a lot of Washington games; we miss a lot of Oregon games too, Mr. Fanboy. ;)

We were watching one game - must have been Cal-UCLA - and I made the comment, "Hey, they have some pretty good football on the west coast! Who knew?"

Needless to say, that comment did not go over very well someone...
