Last week was a great time for College Football. THe HERD beat the Irish. I say the HERD beat the Irish. App. State beat Texas A&M. I say App. State beat Texas A&M. We could stop there and be done with this.
The Indiana Hoosiers came to life in the second half of their rainwater fest against the Idaho Vandals. The Hoosiers gave up a cheap touchdown at the end. Still, they overcame an embarrassing 10-0 deficit at halftime to defeat the Tater Boys 35-22.
This week the Hoosiers entertain the boys from Bowling Green and that was a tussel last year down there at their place.
I think the Hoosier will be like that Rudyard Kipling story The Ship that Found Herself this week and they will end up rocking the Hilltoppers off the mound in large fashion.
After a 12-2 opening week, last week was 10-4 but worth a HERD bad pick. Must say that Iowa disappointed last week in low scoring fashion.
This week’s picks…
Cincinnati beats Miami (OH)… this may be close. EIther way, sets up a nice trip for IU to UC next weekend.
Georgia beats South Carolina…Dawgs will be hard to beat this year.
Oklahoma beats Nebraska…No more Frost on the Pumpkin for Nebraska.
Purdue beats Syracuse…Sure wish we could trade Syracuse for Rutgers.
Indiana beats Western Kentucky.…3-0 start after last year’s 2-10 disaster.
Kentucky beats Youngstown State…The Wildcats are for real.
UCLA beats South Alabama…The Bruins are losing the schedule wars but winning on the field.
Minnesota beats Colorado…Goldy should take care of Ralphie here. This is a game I would watch.
Auburn beats Penn State…Even in the world of NIL and Cow Milking coaching salaries, there still lives in the hearts and minds of many that good ole “it is our way of life against yours” feeling that spills over onto the football field. Auburn and Penn State was made for this. The game is at Auburn.
Ole Miss beats Georgia Tech…The Rebels will take care of the Wreck in high octane fashion. Practice is over. This is real and this will be fun.
Marshall beats Bowling Green…The Herd will not take a day off after beating the Irish in South Bend. Just how good could this team be?
Mississippi State beats LSU…Welcome to the SEC, Coach Kelly. Coach Mike Leach will dissect this team with a passing game that will take care of business.
Washington beats Michigan State… Give Sparty credit. This is not a place most folks want to visit. This is not a non-conference cupcake eating contest for either team.
USC beats Fresno State… We will get a good look at how the Offense of Lincoln Riley has progressed so far. Fresno will be fired up to play the boys in the big town.
This will certainly be a great college football weekend.
Have a great time. I think I may fire up the grill at some point this weekend.
Speaking the rights…
