Oh my.

Already week nine, and the condom primitive, who's been in college since Gerald Ford was president, deferring those student loans, has been busy.  No comment on the Occupy Iowa City protest, which the condom primitive last week deemed less important than having a good time at the football game in Iowa City.

Fun before the Cause, remember.  That's the usual primitive priority.

*********COLLEGE FOOTBALL: WEEK 9*********

Jesus. What a titanic struggle to find 15 games of worthiness. Calm before the storm of next week's slate. Era took over the overall lead. He joined brendan with an 11-4 week. Tough as shit games. Collectively, the staff went 105-105. I believe the worst this year. Well done, fellers.

Okay. Another Thursday night match-up (not the greatest, but it'll do)so before kick. As always, thanks for playing.

Thursday, October 27
Virginia +15 @ Miami(Fla)

Saturday, October 29
Purdue +15 @ Michigan
Missouri +11 @ Texas A&M
Arkansas -12 @ Vanderbilt
Michigan State +6 @ Nebraska
Washington State +33 @ Oregon
Florida +2.5 @ Georgia
West Virginia +7.5 @ Rutgers
Baylor +18 @ Oklahoma State
Illinois +6 @ Penn State
Oklahoma -13.5 @ Kansas State
South Carolina -7 @ Tennessee
Clemson -4.5 @ Georgia Tech
Stanford -8.5 @ USC
Wisconsin -9 @ Ohio State

Best wishes!

Being a traditionalist, whose first memories of college football were those when college football meant something, franksolich is picking Georgia to beat Florida.

I'm currently 0-2 against the primitives, but one can't win them all.

14. I feel like a traitor picking K-State...but I'm in a pessimistic mood about the rest of OU's season after last week.

16. Even if OU had pulled it out last week, I'd be surprised at the line being that high

Manhattan has, in Snyder's tenures, been a tough place to play, and they've been especially keyed up to beat the Sooners since Stoops came to Norman and poached half their staff  Plus, the Wildcats have played well this year, and the betting lines consistently undervalue them. They've beaten the spread every game but the first one. They were underdogs against Miami, Baylor, Texas Tech and Missouri.

I could see the Sooners pulling away in the second half, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a close game. I think the Sooners will bounce back. I sure hope so, anyway.

Last week was rough

You know, I'm a little more than uneasy that so many primitives picked Nebraska to win over Michigan State today.  It's true Michigan State is 0-5 against Nebraska, but after our fiasco, our debacle, against Minnesota last week, I think the only advantage Nebraska has is that the game's at home.....and that counts for less than what the media and the primitives think it does.

I'm a Gator fan, but Georgia's been coming on after a slow start.  Unless UF finds an offense, then Georgia will win.

Good slate of games today.

Clemson @ Georgia Tech
Stanford @ USC
South Carolina @ Tennessee
Florida @ Georgia
Michigan State @ Nebraska
Oklahoma @ Kansas State
Wisconsin @ Ohio State

I'd at least glace at all of them at some point to see how they're going.  The Clemson/GT and Stanford/USC matchups look like the better of the lot.

UGA takes "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party". (<---not PC)

Baylor at OSU will be lopsided.

Well, Nebraska continues its evolving erraticity; barely beating a lowly Minnesota team last week, but trouncing a strong Michigan State team this week.

I wish we'd get more consistent, like it was circa 1889-2003.

You have to give Bo Pelini some time.  He can't turn into Vince Lombardi overnight.  Hell, it's probably going to take him four-five seasons to do that.

Well, I'm still in shock; I never expected Nebraska to pound Michigan State 24-3, especially after our dismal performance against Minnesota last week.

Michigan State is now 0-6 against Nebraska; one wonders if it's going to be a trend.

One can only hope.  How many years are we talking about, over which those 6 games were played?

Actually, fairly recently; during the 1980s and 1990s, I think.

In the Big 10, Minnesota's essentially the only team with much experience playing Nebraska.

During the 1920s, Nebraska tried to get something going with eastern teams, including that obscure state college in Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, and Iowa, but they weren't enthusiastic about it for some reason.  I suspect it's because they were always losing to us.

By the way, Nebraska's the only team that ever beat the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame during the 1920s.

Not just one time, but twice in a row.

After that, Notre Dame has since been reluctant to play us.
