Mea culpa, Mea culpa, Mea maxima culpa! I was home.  The game was on.  I was playing Guitar Hero 5.
As most of the world predicted, the Florida Tuskers finished their season with a perfect 6-0 record.  Unfortunately, that meant the California Redwoods were their latest victim.
Fueled by the last-minute pick that cost them a chance to remain in the playoff hunt, the Redwoods came out swinging last night.  The Redwoods outgained the Tuskers 351 yards to 298.
The Redwoods led 24-20 at halftime, thanks to TD passes from Boyd to WR …

California – When the going gets tough, they say, the tough get going.
The Redwoods needed a win this evening just to still be in contention for the right to play the Florida Tuskers in the Championship Game.  A loss would all but give the Locomotives (I mean the Locos) the edge in any tie-breaker (assuming both teams finished 3-3).
The Redwoods D stopped the Locos’ opening drive, led by a Dominic Patrick sack of Locos QB JP Losman. The Redwoods went three and out, after Redwoods QB Shane Boyd was sacked …

The California Redwoods are tied with the Las Vegas Locomotives at 2-2, and play each other tonight.
The Florida Tuskers have securely locked up the regular season championship, being 5-0 with 1 game left to play.
As previously stated, the Redwoods NEED this win tonight, given the fact that the Terminators Tuskers will be their last opponent, and the Tuskers can’t be beaten, stopped, or reasoned with, and the Sentinels have as much backbone as a bowl of wet fettucine.
Barring a complete meltdown of all four teams, the winner of tonight’s game …

(The Internet – I love streaming video!): If the Redwoods want to have a shot at the UFL playoffs, they better hope the rest of their games are against the Sentinels.  QB Shane Boyd threw one touchdown pass and ran another in, as the California Redwoods got their second victory over the New York Sentinels this evening.
RB Cory Ross continued to show why he is the premiere back in the UFL, as he added another receiving touchdown to his total..
The Redwoods scored first on a Boyd TD pass to Ross to open …

The 1-2 Redwoods travel to East Rutherford, New Jersey tonight to play the 0-2 Sentinels.
The Redwoods’ sole victory came against the Sentinels 2 weeks ago. While the Sentinels were idle, the Redwoods were tuned up by the Tuskers.
If Mike McMahon and the receiving corp have their act together, I predict another victory.
Note: I have to be out of the city away from a TV,  so I can’t watch the game live.  I do have a DVR, unless HINT HINT…one of you viewers/members would like to report on the game …
