Just when I thought Friday was going to go down south in a hurry, I get a reprieve. I don’t know if it was me destroying the video tape (that originally had the Angels’ last World Series victory) or if it was the soul of Colt Brennan coming back from its trap and going into its body which had an imposter soul, or the fact that I had mellowed down considerably.
Whatever the case, Friday was the night of the comeback kids. In San Jose, the Spartans were leading the Hawaii Warrior 35-21, and were in control of ending Hawaii’s winning streak. Colt Brennan came right back to throw another touchdown to make it 35-28 late in the fourth quarter. However, as San Jose State was about to run down the clock, a man by the name of Blaze Soares stripped SJSU tailback James T. Callier of the ball, and Adam Leonard recovered the ball. Brennan, on the next possession, took it in to tie the score.
In overtime, Brennan hooked up on a 9-yard pass to Jason Rivers to give Hawaii the lead back. An interception by Myron Newberry sealed the deal, eliciting elation back in the islands, while eliciting frustration and broken hearts wearing blue in Spartan Stadium.
Top that, King Xerxes the First.
Meanwhile, down in Stockton (not too far from San Jose), Long Beach State’s women’s volleyball team pulled off a rally of their own. Down two games, I tuned into the game late on longbeachstate.com and on CSTV’s GameTracker. The 49ers, as if I was bringing some type of divine inspiration, won the next three games, 32-30, 30-22, and 15-13. It was only proper that Alexis Crimes seal the game off. On match point, Alexis crushed the mother lode into the Pacific court. Sorry, Charlie (Wade).
On a night where Melbourne Victory and the Long Beach State ice hockey teams dropped stinkers, the comeback kids were having a great night out in Stockton and San Jose. Joe Montana send help.
