Racinbob 10,398 #576 Posted November 10, 2014 With my minimal knowledge of football I don't dare try to think that deeply about it. That's why I have my analysts. I didn't tell them about the doughnuts cuz they'd throw all the picks then. I'm going to say the Irish by 3 TD's at halftime. The backup's will be playing most of the fourth quarter. The turnovers have to stop sometime......don't they? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorseFixer 2,012 #577 Posted November 10, 2014 Well I never knew there was a Coach Worse than Hoke. But Northwesters CoachPat Fitzgerald really takes the cake. Not kicking a field Goal to tie the game are you kidding me? Brady Hoke was Just about speechless And this is what he had to say about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPxPSzz0LBY 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,345 #578 Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) JimD...this your chance to get out of the basement!!! I would not look at anyone else's picks this week. Light the candles, consult your shaman, have a mind expanding brownie, buy a bottle of Rock & Rye,, pick all the teams that RMCIII picks different (I know...I am going to Hell for that), BTW...Hodge is letting some of us back in the game... ...don't pick Iowa (unless you have a extra-terrestrial encounter)...and I am thinking Indiana over Rutgers.(don't quote me on that)...it depends on if you want to share any of your doughnuts. Finally, Mich St. at Maryland...a devastated Michigan St. with no chance at the championship now playing at Maryland (this is where new rivalries are started). Climb the ladder Jim...grab the guy in front of you by the ankles and do the Indiana Jones thingy...get out the whip and the Fedora hat...get out the crystal skull...hold up the Holy Grail and don't look when they open the Ark. You can do this...this is the Big Ten... The candle has been lit and placed before the "Crystal Blueberry", which has been placed before the "Mystical Happy Plant". I have worshiped Thereupon. I have consulted the "Shaman" who inquired, "What is this football you speak of?" And I am now Indiana "Jones'n" for a perfect pick week.. And my picks are: Iowa, Temple, Ohio St., Rutgers, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Michigan St. Edited November 10, 2014 by JimD 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,271 #579 Posted November 10, 2014 Jim...you look good in the Fedora. Crack that whip...whip it good...it's not to late...to whip it!!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,271 #580 Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Duke...that is the most intelligent thing I have ever heard out of a Michigan coach. I could not believe it either, but he would have looked like a genius if it worked. Playing the Monday 1/4 back...NW had the momentum...do the OT!! OK...here is my picks...Of course I have to take Illinois over Iowa this week (this a my get well card to Brrly)...Penn st., Minnesota....Rutgers, ...going to take Wisconsin here...I really want to take Northwestern here (but can 2 Illinois teams win in the same weekend??) OK...I think one can...going to take Northwestern over ND---(not)...and Michigan St. SOOOOO...Illinois, Penn St., Minnesota., Rutgers, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Michigan St. These are my picks and I am sticking to them...the one I am worried about...Indiana at Rutgers...just sayin" Hey Jim....do you have a cone head to go with your outfits...thought you were from France?? OK...Sorry, but since I have some of the bragging rights from last Saturday...after my picks were like..."Yikes"... Minnesota 55...Iowa 14 :banana-linedance: :banana-linedance: I have picked the Iowa games right 6 times and wrong 3 times...I am starting to like Iowa. I can't say that about Northwestern though.

Brrly1 1,146 #582 Posted November 11, 2014 For anybody that might be interested there should be a good football game on at 8:00 on ESPN 2. The game will be between University of Toledo vs Northern Illinois. This game nine times out of ten means the division championship.The game is being played at Northern Illinois. Toledo is undefeated in the MAC as of now, I think this is also true with N.I. Like I say it should be a good game. See ya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,271 #583 Posted November 12, 2014 John, watched the game...and it was a great game. Sounds like, with NIU winning, that conference is going to be fun to watch the rest of this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimD 3,345 #585 Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I just got down here to warm up the donut oven when I overheard a couple guys upstairs discussing my picks for this week.. Edited November 14, 2014 by JimD 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #586 Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Oopppps that could have been bad, a definite correction. Kind of glad I went back to look. Michigan State over Maryland. I don't know alot about Temple but I like Penn State so I have to believe they will pull this out. Another thing while I'm here is I believe Joe Pa's record should remain intact especially with all this B.S. coming out about how the NCAA played them. I don't know everything on the subject but I do believe that when he testified he Was telling the truth and Nothing but!!! Reinstate Joe Pa's records!!!! He had nothing to do with Sandusky!!! That's the end of this story Edited November 14, 2014 by Brrly1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hodge71 663 #590 Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) I talked to Kreskin and he was no help...Kept asking Ed McMahon what my point was..... Theres a whole lot hanging out in the wind this week. I just realized there a Squonk lurking in the shadows waiting for me and Dino to trip up...I was so focused on the Dinosaur in my rearview I missed scuanck!! I have a really tough time with Illinois. Illini is home but Iowa is rated better... Wisconsin always makes me twitch and on paper Nebraska is better....I dont even want to talk about PSU and Temple. Both 5-4 and rated 5 and 6 in the country as far as defense. Here goes nothing. I will either look like a champ or be hiding under a rock because I'm sure its gonna get rough in here soon.... Not like its been easy to begin with but.... Iowa, Penn State Nittany Lions!!! Ohio State, Rutgers I hope!! Wisconsin, Notre Dame.. go Irish!!! Michigan State Spartans!! I will follow this up with a giant UGH! Edited November 15, 2014 by Hodge71 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #591 Posted November 15, 2014 Hodge, that particular game Iowa vs Illinois could be the tie breaker, myself I wouldn't worry but don't forget I'm a Hawkeye fan like your a Penn State fan do or die! Good luck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
