that those short time and then we got a constant for a moment for the well across the country washington head coach in a bad shot did not want a play in pasadena despite having the best team in the west the husky settle a longstanding feud with southern california but after alabama and redeploy washington was pressured by the pacific conference and reconsider after all white in foretelling factional fighting in the breeze why change sachs didn't know that they are numbers colorado plan is tires a modern love them and just through and gavan heck a wisecracking cowboy philosopher named will rogers summed up the gentle regard for alabama's chances calling them up a team from
