News from the Pac-10

There are a couple of big stories from Cal and ASU that popped up over the weekend:

First, it looks like ASU will be playing LSU at home this season. This was a home at home series, so now ASU will go to LSU for the second leg. I imagine this isn't exactly desirable because now they have to sell tickets 6 days in advance. But now they have home field advantage which could mean that we may see an upset.

Second, the Cal Bears lost their newly name QB starter, redshirt freshman Nate Longshore, to a broken leg. He may not return this season. You're thinking, no problem they have that JC guy who's so highly touted. That would be Joe Ayoob. However, when he came in against Sac. St. he laid an egg. Apparently, he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. His first 10 passes were incomplete. In fact, he was so bad that he was benched for the 3rd string QB. Looks like Cal is going to be running a bit this season.
