After the 7U softball season finale, I'll be travelling up to the promised land to watch the Sooners beat up on the Aggies. At least that's how I see it. With all the travelling, here's what I'll be missing.
Bugeaters at Jayhawks - this holds some interest to me because for some reason the Bugeaters decline this year fascinates me. Normally I like the N, but I never was a fan of Callahan. Anywho, I would be stunned if there was anything but a blowout Jayhawk win on this. I also expect people to be talking about Kansas after this win, like a win over a seriously depleted Nebraska team would somehow validate their record more so than last week's win at Cash Machine U, or beating Willie and Friends on the road, or at Colorado. Those other teams are, surprisingly, much more formidable this year. Prediction: Kansas.
Travis County Jail vs Boone State U - The Cowboys have outscored the Horns 85-70 in the first half over the last 5 years. Horns have dominated the second half, however, outscoring the Horns 141-19 after halftime. The Cowboys have a potent offense, but I believe their putrid defense will hurt them today, and they'll lose three of their next four. That'll leave them 6-6 and headed for Shreveport. Prediction: Texas
LSU vs Bama - The Egomaniac Bowl, sponsored by Bill Parcells. I would love for Bama to pull this one off. It's in Tuscaloosa, so that should help. However, the o-line losses due to the textbook scandal (thought it was great they were using textbooks, frankly) are going to hurt the Tide too much. Prediction: LSU, and hoping I'm wrong as usual.
Navy vs FishEaters - the commanders cup portion of the FishEaters schedule starts today. My only interest in this game is to see if Middies can break the 43 game losing streak. Coming off a loss to the Delaware Blue Hens, that seems unlikely. It's the 107th best Defense out to stop the 119th best offense. Prediction: Navy
Arizona State at Oregon - the folks at SundayMorningQB refer to this matchup as the "Game of the Century of the Week". Erickson's Sun Devils against Belotti's Ducks. Oregon is 8-11 over the last 5 seasons in November. Oregon's just been outscoring folks, with the 4th best offense and 68th best defense. Arizona St is 33rd in O, 19th in D. I keep expecting Oregon to lose a late season game. This just might be it. Prediction: Sun Devils.
