This. A Cal loss would have been bad for the conference.

And yet in a way this game is yet another example of the competitiveness of a lot of FCS teams. The fact that Cal DIDN'T pull a KSU/OSU and lose in the end probably means they won't be (or need be?) looked at as necessarily mediocre for "only" barely beating an FCS team. Just like with the Beavers and their loss to EWU, we'll see over the course of the season whether this close win over an FCS team really "meant" anything in the long run.

Well----this game was my only excepton. I agree with the sentiment noted above. To the degree that it's possible, PSU earned a "moral victory" and I hope yesteday's game is a sign of better things to come.

I would stop by Jeld Wen on Saturday but the game time conflicts with Oregon's beat down of Tennessee.
