Having watched this game for 35 years now, I wish I could say that today's outcome shocked me. That Sac State crapping the bed against a Davis team was shocking....but it wasn't. It happens every year, so much so that I come into the game expecting a loss regardless of talent or record. Lets go over the zaniness, shall we?
-blocked extra point returned for a safety
-after pinning Davis deep Norrisse proceeds to dance like an idiot before the punt and have the ball bounce off his chest and roll 30 yards to the endzone where he misses it again resulting in a Davis TD.
-Pooching a kickoff 20 secs before the half and allowing UCD to return it for a TD
-refs disallow a TD pass to Carter for the 2nd week and then the FG is missed.
-after finally gaining the lead back despite so many self-inflicted wounds, Sac intercepts the ball in Davis territory and DECIDES TO TRY A DOUBLE REVERSE PASS FROM A WR THAT HAD BEEN $&?!ing up all game, resulting in an int.
Whew! The funny thing is that was a pretty ordinary Causeway from our boys. Davis expects us to do this to ourselves every year, and we regularly bend over and comply. Take a tip from me...never expect a Sac win in this game, ever. Always expect us to lose and that way you might be surprised on that rare once a decade occasion when the refs screw the Aggies and McLeod Bethel Thompson hits a miracle in the end zone. It is the prophecy and the intended order of nature.
