Jason Howland-Sports Editor (22-15)

Well, my “upset” picks of last week turned into a big upset stomach for me. But have no fear, disgruntled sports editor is here!

Before I go on, I’d like to plug the big tackle football game between my sports page staff (April Samp, Chad Calek, Guru, Bill Kopatich, myself and others) and the opinion page “staff” (Tim Davis, Troy McCullough, Chris Miller, Jill Robertson, David Ptak and others).

The game will be held today at Clyde Williams Field just west of Friley at 4 p.m. Come out and cheer for your favorite writer and watch the sports staff dominate the “newsies.”

Here are my picks (short and sweet): Texas, Kansas, Northwestern, Michigan State, Nebraska, USC, Penn State and ISU in a Homecoming win, 28-27.

Chad Calek-Asst. Sports Editor (26-11)

And I take a commanding lead! Ho hum. I should just quit right now. I’ve proved all that I can. I have nothing left to accomplish at this level. I think I’ll try baseball. Maybe the Birmingham Barons are interested. But in the meantime, here are my picks.

Texas beats Virginia. Hook ’em dorks! Oklahoma upsets Kansas. I could get burned on this one. Northwestern beats Wisconsin. I love Northwestern! Nebraska pounds all hell out of Kansas State. Michigan State whips Minnesota. Notre Dame beats USC at home. I could really get burned on this one. Iowa beats Penn State. These picks just suck! I am really gonna get burned.

ISU 42, Colorado 30. I may be dreaming. But then again, dreams come true every once in a great while. Go get ’em boys.

Roger Ossian – T-Galaxy (21-16)

Boy, are the Buffaloes going to step in it when they come to Ames. Coach Golden Boy will never know what hit them as the Cyclones skin the Buffs (as always, no real animals were hurt in this process). Cyclones 35, Buffs 3.

Other winners include: Texas, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Michigan St., Nebraska, USC, Penn St.

Cy – Iowa State torclone (21-16)

It’s Homecoming week and sure enough, Cy will be out around town during the Homecoming weekend. Many of the players on the Iowa State team will be out on the town celebrating a big win over Colorado. The Cyclones will lasso the Buffaloes by a score of 27-10.

The ghosts of Rockne, Hornung and Montana will rock Notre Dame Stadium as ND comes away with an inspiring 34-10 victory over Southern California.

Penn State will overpower a much overrated Hawkeye squad by a score of 28-14. Boo hoo.

Northwestern will march on to their Big Ten championship showdown with Ohio State with a 28-10 pasting of Wisconsin.

In other games: Virginia, Kansas, Michigan State and Nebraska will all be winners.

Tattooed Guru-The almighty (18-19)

Last week was so screwed up. I will admit it wasn’t in my plans to fall behind that damn Cy-bird tornado winged scaring-little-kids mascot, but I did. So I must now redeem myself. Read ’em and read ’em.

Iowa State will beat Colorado because they’re bound to get a so-called “upset” at least once a year. Look out Domino’s, ISU will have their own supply of buffalo wings. Clones 28 – Wings 19.

In other Big Eight games Kansas will beat Oklahoma in Soonerland, 40-28 and in Huskerworld K-State will blow by Nebraska in the upset of the week 24-12.

In the just-because-I-say-so category USC will destroy those pesky Fightin’ Irish 45-3. Question: Exactly what are the Irish fighting? AIDS.

In Big Ten action, or lack of, Penn State will crush Iowa for the second year in a row, 55-0 while Michigan State wil handle the Golden Gophers 26-18. What makes Minnesota so golden anyway? It can’t be the weather.

And for my last two picks Northwestern will continue to roll and stop the Badgers 21-10 while Texas beats UV 18-8. See ya’.
