Huskies win, Huskies win; promptly Hell froze over!
I had to do
too many things on Saturday (aka - Recover from
Friday Night), so I didn't have much time to
skip around and see what happened around the
college ranks. Before I went into my deep, deep
Tivo college football replay game depression,
a random walker-by told me that the Huskies
killed the Wildcats of Arizona. "Oh shit!"
I thought, and as it turns out I had good reason
to worry. Realizing that hell just froze over,
I could only expect my worst set of college
football picks of all time. That's just what
I got. As it turns out, I can't tell the future.
I'll never make fun of that stupid, fat, ugly
Jamaican lady again...
Fresno State @ Boise State
(+9.5) - Bulldogs 27 - Broncos 7. It turns
out I was wrong about a couple of things. Weird.
Jared Zabransky looked like the same quarterback
who intercepted the LSU game away, and the Bulldogs
didn't seem underrated one bit. Sometimes you
think you have something but you really don't,
like Rosie O'Donnell thinks she has a penis.
Maryland @ North Carolina (-2.5)
- Terrapins 33 - Tar Heels 30. It went into
overtime, where I realized I couldn't lose if
North Carolina would just score and hold the
Terps to nothing. If, again. It always seems
to crap on your glasses when you figure out
what you need to win. The Terps outlasted the
Tar Heels in the extra session, sending me to
0-2, with the knowledge of a Husky loss on the
horizon.
Northwestern (+18.5) @
Ohio State - Wildcats 7 - Buckeyes 48. Ohio
State is finally playing as well as everyone
thought they would all year. Sometimes it takes
awhile to pull your head out of your ass, just
ask the Bush family. Troy Smith is going to
be a great quarterback, and State's set of backs
and receivers could probably take gold in the
4x100 at the next Olympic games. Unfortunately
half of them will be making gobs of money playing
professional football so they won't have time
to travel to Hong Kong to run around a track.
Michigan State (+6) @ Minnesota
- Spartans 18 - Golden Gophers 41. The Spartans
have now lost 5 of 6, making them almost as
bad as the Blue Devils of Duke. Just kidding.
State would still outscore Duke by 50 points
in the first half. In this game it was Amir
Pinnix and Gary Russell leading the Gopher rushing
attack. Maroney was out for the day. The Gopher
offensive line played at a high level, and the
Gophers absolutely dominated the Spartans.
Iowa @ Wisconsin (-3) -
Hawkeyes 20 - Badgers 10. Iowa led by 7 after
three quarters, and their defense played stellar
in the 4th, holding Wisconsin scoreless while
taking home victory. The Badgers have really
fallen off since their undefeated start to the
season, while the Hawkeyes are playing their
best football of the season. Another unlucky
loss for Lucky.
Florida State (-2) @ Clemson
- Seminoles 14 - Tigers 35. Terry Bowden took
another game from his daddy on Saturday. The
Tigers are a much better football team than
I originally thought. This is beginning to look
like a theme here; I think team is good, team
is bad; I think team is bad, team is good.
Washington @ Arizona Wildcats
(-13) - Kudos to Tyrone Willingham, he'll
end up building a solid team at the University
of Washington. He got his first victory on Saturday,
in response I originally thought hell had just
frozen over. Especially with the way the Wildcats
took down the Bruins' hopes for an undefeated
season last week. What can I say? You can't
win them all. You can't win most of them, half
of them, some of them, one of them... Can I
get a tie?
Arizona State (+4) @ UCLA -
Wildcats 35 - Bruins 45. The Bruins came
back from their loss in a big way, taking down
the Wildcats in a big-time scoring affair. Maurice
Drew could only manage 88 yards on the ground,
but that didn't matter much as Drew Olson passes
for 510 yards and 5 touchdowns, setting a new
record for touchdown passes in a season for
the Bruins. What happened to Arizona State after
losing to the Trojans?
Texas Tech (-24) @ Oklahoma
State - Raiders 17 - Cowboys 24. Not only
did the Raiders fail to cover, but they got
beat up by the Cowboys. Tech roared back with
14 points in the 4th quarter to tie the game,
but a late touchdown by State took away any
chances the Raiders had to pull out the victory.
This is one of the biggest upsets of the weekend.
Oregon (-5) @ Washington State
- Ducks 34 - Cougars 31. I'll tell you what,
the Cougars have been just good enough to lose
every single Pac-10 game in the second half.
This time it was the 3rd quarter that happened
to be the Cougs' undoing. Back here at home,
we like to call this act, "Couging It".
It comes from all those games UW has taken down
the Pussycats from Pullman. Loser = Me.
LSU @ Alabama (+3) - 'Bama
lost a heart breaker, but not without allowing me my
one shot at mediocrity, allowing me a push and at least
$20 left in my account. Thanks. Alas, their are only
two undefeated teams left in the college ranks. And
the BCS gets off again. Those Bastards!
