The sports department is kicking butt and taking names later! I did lose one game last week (those damn Ducks)! But at least I’m ahead of that Guru guy.
Iowa State will dominate, hey I rhymed again! The Cyclones plus a 20-pounds-heavier Todd Doxzon will send the Hawks packing in a 34-21 romp.
The Buckeyes beat Washington; Alvarez gets his first win of the season as the Badgers dominate Stanford; Michigan will continue to roll with a big win over Boston College.
Illinois will finally win a game against Arizona; Florida moves up the rankings with a win over Tennessee; Texas Tech wins at home against Missouri and finally, the Ducks looooossssseeeee!!!!!!!!!

Sports department rules! Mr. Howland and I combined for a 12-2 record last week. Look for nothing but more success from the sports boys.
Here we go. Ohio State over Washington. Because I said so! Wisconsin over Stanford. I hate California. Michigan over Boston College. Biabatuweketkia will rush for 200 yards in the victory. Illinois over Arizona. Both teams suck. Who cares?
This one is too easy. Florida, in the swamp, in a big victory over Tennessee. The Ducks baby! The Ducks rule! Well, not really. The Ducks lose big to the Bruins in that dreadful state of California. Tigers still suck, Texas Tech over Missouri in a big way.
Unlike my counterpart Mr. Howland, I will always pick the ‘Clones. TD Davis and TD Doxson have the game of their young lives. Cyclones 34, Hawks 33. See ya there.

The Iowa Bumblebees – oops – Hawkeyes will never know what hit them. Troy Davis will completely dazzle the Flintstone helmeted oppostition. Todd Doxzon will step up and shred the secondary. Iowa will have so many turnovers, you’ll think it was a bakery.
I love to see Hayden mad — “Gosh, gee whillikers guys.” Get ready for Sportcenter’s lead story: “Cyclones humiliate Hawkeyes — Coach resigns.” Cyclones 35 – Bumblebees 7.
Other picks (like any other games matter): Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, UCLA and Texas Tech.

Guru and I scrape the bottom of Cy’s Eyes rankings after last week, but don’t despair, this week Iowa and their ridiculous-looking uniforms visit Ames.
Look for McCarney and company to thoroughly embarrass the Hawkeyes. The young Cyclone defensive team will come of age in a 42-14 thrashing of the squad that looks like they have banana peels on their shoulder pads. Whoever designed the new Hawkeye uniforms was surely smoking something more powerful than banana peels.
In other less-important games: Ohio State will take care of Washington, Florida will beat Tennessee down in the swamp, UCLA will be to much for Oregon, Arizona will get by Illinois, Texas Tech will humiliate Missouri, Michigan will thoroughly dominate B.C. and Wisconsin will get on track against Stanford.

Well, my first week was rough, but dammit Notre Dame was destined to lose. But since they won, I was wrong, sue me. Anyhoo, this week will be different, you’ll see. Oh yess, you shall see.
(Drum roll) And the picks of the week are: Iowa State over Iowa. In a freak accident, Tim Dwight and the rest of the Hawks will trip over ears of corn and the ‘Clones will beat them handily, 28-24. The closeness of the score reflects our sympathy for the die-hard Hawk fans who can’t handle defeat.
In the Big 10, Wisconsin will fall again without the defensive greatness of Coach Dan McCarney. Stanford 28, Wisconsin 7. But in other Big 10 action, Michigan will win a close one over Boston College, 35-31.
Arizona will swarm over the Illini, who, by the way, have the dumbest name. What the hell is a Fightin’ Illini? Anyway, Arizona 14-10. Florida will squish Tennessee, 42-14, UCLA will beat Oregon, 27-17 and Texas Tech will crush Missouri 28-3. See ya’.
