I'm back -sort of

First this weekend's pickem games

Wisconsin - I think Indiana has decided not to field an offense this year and Wisconsin is thinking about kicking on third down. Shouuld be a terrible game and a typical boring Wisconsin win 24-10

Navy - I thought Uconn was poised to break-out but I think they are still a few players away from the Big east title. Navy should squeak this one out. 26-24

Michigan State - God Smith is a shitty coach! Way to make Notre Dame look good. Fortunately for MSU they play a D2 team today. This will get ugly fast. 48-20.

Missouri - could they win the B12 north? The sleeper of the B12 this year and they will continue their march to a quality bowl. 31-19

Akron - Somehow Kent has recovered from their beat down at the hands of minnesota but Akron is better. In a thriller, Akron wins 34-26

Ohio - What has happened to BG? I think they need a new AD. I know a guy who is qualified- Maturi. Basically these are disappointing teams in the mac. Ohio has better colors so they win 23-21

Air Force - They are close to returning to prominence in military circles and NM has fallen off the map. AF 24-17

Notre Dame - Sounds like Purdue should have lost last week. Although ND is clearly overrated (as usual) they should spank PU. This PU team reminds me of PU teams in the mid 90s- good O no D. It will show today. 41-31

Oregon - ASU is down and are in jeopardy of not being the best team in the state. They keep it close at home but lose 27-24

Utah- BSU cannot beat a quality team on the road. OK they cannot beat Utah either. 30-24

Idaho - the Vandals are better than you think and USU is worse than you think. 38-14

Penn State - This NW team might lose to the 1979 0-11 NW team- they are among the worst big ten teams I have ever seen. If this game is within 17 points then Penn State should be ashamed. 45-17

Florida - F is not a top national power but bama is clearly not back- thank god- it will be close but I like F at home 20-19

Tech - I think VT is ready to be upset. I am not confident but my gut tells me GT will pull it out. Don't bet the farm but GT 24-23

Tech- I just do not want the Bush school to win 19-16

Cinncy - If you can push OSU then you should beat Miami ...right? 28-20

Cal - It's funny to say but OSU was better with dennis erickson. Cal is not great but OSU stinks. 37-23

Lafayette - Here is my reasoning, EM lost to NW therefore they should lose all their games. 28-14

UAB- I have no idea about either of these teams. The dragon head spitting fire looks powerful so they must be better. 10-9

Nebraska - I hate nebraska but they are much better than the masonless KU team. 31-17

Kansas state- They should beat baylor but i am worried about this one. 21-20

North Tex - This is a reach but they do have North in their name. 24-20

Michigan - A shitty coach, a shitty QB, a suspect D and they will still slaughter the pathetic gophers. Last year's game was a dream come true but this year it's back to reality. I will say it all year long- this is probably the worst Minn team in the Mason era. It should be completely depressing tonight. Next year will mark 40 years since Minn won a big ten title and their is little hope that will change in the near future. AH the rich get richer again tonight. 52-14

Ohio State - the smart pick is Iowa b/c this is the kind of game they win. But watching their D does not inspire confidence. The difference is Smith. It should be close but OSU will be ready for this one. 30-27

Tulane- the green wave hates SMU. This is their bowl game. 15-13

Arizona - they have been disappointing me for years. I cannot understand why they are not better. This is a game they must win if they want a shot at a bowl. Wash is getting better but they are still a year away. In a classic Pac 10 struggle Az 24-20

Fresno State - yes, I have bought into the hype. Fresno is a legit team and CSU is not. The valley dogs should roll. 40-13


Michigan will score the most
Indiana will score the least
Minnesota will give up a ridiculous number of points
Wisc the fewest
MSU will turnover Ill early and often
