Big zimm had a good workout monday with the team he didnt get into any real contact but did workout hes got a deep thigh bruise on his left leg hasnt played since early in the game against arizona as for cook he was suspended for the first 13 games of the seaon for a dui earlier this year. Late word this afternoon from the University Cook has been reinstated and will be eligable fresno state and unlv are pretty similar teams the bulldogs have a deep respect for the rebels, theyre an established program in our league, theyre always going to be able to attract talented players to vegas. Daves done a good job, he really has, look at his won loss record hes done a good job of working with this talent. Ron Futrell Fresno st and the rebels are very similar both have 9 and 4 records. Like the rebels theyre a very Athletic Team if youre looking for some comparative shopping here both teams played at arizona rebels lost by 12, bulldogs by 13 oh. The bulldogs fans also like to throw stuffed animals on the court thats what i see happening here just angry at the refs so they try to hit them with stuffed animals. Oh, acutally its a charity thing to bring a stuffed animal, throw it on the court and they give it away to kids in the Central Valley for christmas thats what the press release says they were doing start time 8 pm tomorrow night. ron futrell okay so whos football this year . . . Its hard to argue that jared goff of cal wont be the first taken in the draft the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl cal against air force goff 37 td passes in the regular season because we love the folks at nellis and creech well show you this air force touchdown the falcons love their option play and Tyler Williams scores to tie the game at 14. But that was about it for air force goff with 6 td passes on the day. Hes just a junior, but everybody thinks this guy will be the first quarterback taken in the draft so look for this to be his final game at cal and an early first rounder in the draft. 5536 cal wins over air force. The final four of collegee football is just two days away clemson and oklahoma are in south florida for the orange bowl Clemson Tigers the only undefgeated team in the country are the number one seed oklahoma is seeded fourth. Both teams went through workouts and media day getting set for this matchup. Its interesting oklahoma is favored by 3 and a half town are fired up about these matchups the cotton bowl is michigan st against alabama i thought Michigan State were the spartans, but here linebacker Jeremy Schram shows he has a lot of cowboy in him thatll work down in texas the guy can dance as well but lineman Justice Alexander has that cowboy hat on backwards that aint gonna work down there. Spartans look loose alabama is 10 point favorites. The final four games are new years eve remember way back in the day before we had a College Football playoff how boring it was . . . That was before last year when ohio st won the first playoff. Paula Francis finally tonight. New years eve is thursday. Party here in las vegas. The celebration with the most spectators every year is in new york city. Theyre expecting a Million People at times square. Thats why they dont leave anything to chance. And test everything from the ball drop. To the confetti that falls from the sky. Thats exactly what organizers did today. As they threw handfuls of confetti from the Hard Rock Cafe marquee. To test it and make sure it floats freely to the ground. Everything worked out just right. And when the clock strikes midnight in the big apple. One ton of confetti will fill the skies above the partiers below. Dave Courvoisier thanks for
