Let's just say it's nice to be back from the flu. This damn thing has killed me for the past five days, so I have some pent up rage that the B12 genie will let out of it's den. I'm not sure if it's a Fuck Lion coming out of that den. Ok, to the games.
Kansas 38 Duke 14
When Lew Perkins signed this game to kU's schedule, he believed it was for the hardwood. Duke is getting better at this new game played with a pair of funnelled pig's guts glued together, but those nerds still are nowhere close. Todd Reesing's Heisman campaign gets another boost.
Oklahoma 62 Tulsa 10
The Landry Jones 'stache You'd Expect on Dateline NBC Tour '09 continues this week, back where most predators live anyway, Oklahoma. Tulsa can throw points in the board like Lawrence Phillips can throw girls down stairs. Shame is, both are going to get ravaged in the balloon knot in foreign cities this weekend, and both by guys named Landry.
Virginia Tech 35 Nebraska 21
Holy crap! Not a Sun Belt team for BoBo this week? I mean seriously, did VTech switch to the Sun Belt? [------looking-----] Wow, nope. So the Huskers only have three Sun Belt teams on their schedule this year? Yeah, the worst conference in all of the FBS. Only three? Oh, ok, just confirming that 3/4's of their out-of-conference scheduling was out of the Sun Belt Conference, again, the worst in all of the FBS. VTech has looked pretty good in their two games, one against Marshall (not in the Sun Belt) and fellow 2009 BCS'er Alabama in a shoot-out that they fell in. So by not playing patsy opponents, the Hokies actually know how their '09 team is going to play. The Huskers have had two sixty minute walkthroughs. Oh, and this one is in Blacksburg. Done. Is this the week Tim Griffin finally takes his head out of Zac Lee's lap?
Colorado 27 Wyoming 17
I'd hate to be Colorado in this one. You're supposed to absolutely pillage and burn Wyoming to the ground, yet your team sucks worse than a lukewarm Landshark beer. Wyoming isn't a good team, but neither is Colorado, so in theory, Colorado could totally shit the bed in this one. Dave Christensen has hung points on Colorado over the past few years, and Wyoming was playing Tejas tough last week for awhile. Colorado, you're no Texas, so you better have your A game to beat the Cowboys. This one is on upset alert already.
Baylor 28 UConn 7
Get ready for this bold statement: watching this game last year in Storrs on ESPN (maybe it was the Deuce or Ocho) on a weeknight, Robert Griffin fell thisshort of a big upset. The kid was pissed. No, seriously, PISSED. Baylor was supposed to lose. On the road. Tough opponent. True Freshman QB. Pissed. Statement time: That was the most influential game Baylor has played in for the past 5-10yrs. That was the point of Baylor isn't here to dick around anymore. A year later, Baylor is more improved than Fresh Prince was after they got rid of the original Aunt Viv. This time it's in WacKo, and UConn is missing several pieces. Night night UConn.
Oklahoma State 52 Rice 7
Yeah, no upset this week. Sorry Owls! Just think, you got yourselves a nice fat check for that whoopin'.
Texas A&M 28 Utah State 14
Eh, I don't see this being a problem for the Aggies...crap, they're both Aggies. ATM has a lot more talent, but we've seen them totally trip themselves up too. I don't see how they do it against Ute State, but I've also seen a chick with three boobs like the girl from Total Recall, so I don't know what to think. Again, Aggies win. Dammit. ATM.
Kent State 21 Iowa State 17
If ISU is to ever win a road game, this is their best possibility. Kent State got smoked by Boston College last week, but won over Coastal Carolina the week before. I don't know if ISU is even close to BC's level (doubtful), but this one is in Kent City...wait, jeez, what am I thinking? City's name is Flashville, right? Oh, and Kent State is in the MAC, which means they are decent because THEY AREN'T IN THE SUN BELT CONFERENCE. Sadly, I'm rolling with the Golden Flashes, and hope I'm wrong.
Texas 49 Texas Tech 17
This was a cool game last year. A lot has changed for TT, and not in a good way. I think Taylor Potts will be a solid QB, but he's still trying to get his feet under him, and there's no Michael Crabtree to catch the game winner then think he should get paid off mock drafts instead of the real draft. This is a revenge game for the Horns. Remember, this game knocked them out of the BCS Championship Game last year. For some reason, this is the Saturday night game instead of Nubs/VTech, so nice job on that B12 TV contract Mouse Network.
(To our Husker friends- is there a reason why VTech isn't the night game?)
UCLA 21 K-State 7
UCLA just suspended damn near half their team to make this thing even close to being a game. Oh, and their QB might not play. No, they aren't going to move a TE to QB, so it's still in the Bruins favor. The long season for Billy continues.
