The undefeated run is over, the dream is dead, and Cinderella's lost her slipper. But, it seems Ace Journeyman is happier now after the loss to Oregon than he was in the weeks before. He knows that now his Wolfpack can just go play football, with no cloud of expectations hanging over them and no pressure for perfection. Oddly enough, though, if Nevada beats Washington, they cold still win the PAC-10 and play in the Rose Bowl. And, if Oregon does end up winning the conference, there's even a small chance that the 'Pack could end up with an at-large bid to another BCS Bowl. But, for right now, they're just playing one game at a time.
--------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: The reality check continued: Washington 24, Nevada 21. But the Pack finally got a blowout, beating New Mexico 35-7. Two losses puts a BCS Bowl out of Nevada's reach and Coach Journeyman is dreading trying to focus his players attention for what is being seen as a let-down post-season.
