You
know, watching Jason “Deputy” Fife and Kellen “I’m Jellin’”
Clemens share the Eugenic QB duties seems very similar to a situation at WSU
a few years back when Steve Birnbaum and Paul Mencke rotated.
Well, in principle anyway. PICK: Wolverines
BOISE
STATE at OREGON
STATE
Will
the Corvallis Big Teeth become the first Pac-10 team EVER to lose to the
blue-turf-playing, ladies-lingerie-wearing, jake-breaking undergrads of Boise State? Let’s just say Mike Riley will be two-fisting the Rogaine
come Saturday night. PICK: Broncos
IDAHO
at WASHINGTON
This
one has the markings of an epic battle. Think Ali v Frazier. Think Kirk v Kahn.
No, not the game itself, I’m talking about the 1st (and last?) Annual
Battle of the Belts: Keith Gibletson v Tom Cable. A buffet
cage match, last bib standing, all you can eat, stretch pants extravaganza! Early line shows Cable as a one slice o’
pie underdog. PICK: HUSKIES
NEW
MEXICO at WASHINGTON
STATE
Besides
the obvious gender-thing, there are some notable differences between WSU kicker
Drewlander Dunning and Lobos kicker Katie “Ireland” Hnida. For
one, Drew spends more time primping in front of the mirror before field goals
(network games only). PICK: COUGARS
ARIZONA at
PURDUE
Hard
to believe Arizero has the 108th ranked offense in the nation. Even
harder to believe there are nine crappier offenses out there. PICK:
BOILERMAKERS

I’m
getting a strong vision of a post game speech by ASsU coach Dick Koetter
to fallen Stunned Devils following big loss to Iowa. It goes like this: “Well, boys, years from now when you’re
stocking shelves at a Costco somewhere, the night manager (who never
played a down of football in his life!) will be riding your ass. When that
happens I want you to stop and remember those 3 glorious weeks during the 2003
season when you played for a ranked team. They can’t ever take that away from
you, boys.” PICK: HAWKEYES
CALIFORNIA at
ILLINOIS
I
woke up on Sunday morning and found the newspaper right where it should be on my
front porch; my slippers were exactly where they always are; the coffee maker
began brewing at it’s usual 8:00 AM time; and the Golden Bears were 1-3 and
falling. Yes, all is as it should be in The Seer’s world. PICK: FIGHTIN’
ILLINI
STANFORD at
BYU
What’s
this?? Cardinal QB—and senior superstar in the making—Chris “Cool Hand” Lewis
officially benched?! And replaced by wet-behind-the-center Trent “Avenue” Edwards?! Buddy
Teevens may stand 5-foot-4, but he’s no Napoleon! PICK:

Advice
to my new friend, Karl “The Truth” Dorrell: When preparing to play
Oklahoma, announcing you will soon be quitting to coach at Alabama has proven to
be an ineffectual—some might even say adverse—game plan. PICK:
SOONERS
LAST WEEK: 6-1
YEAR TO DATE: 20-5
