Another miserable 2-3 week, though of course I'm thrilled one of my erroneous selections was Cal - bRuins. Up, or down to be more accurate, to 15-25 for the year. Nothing like consistency... as in consistently bad. Anyway, here's this week's fearless forecast, along with a link to last week.

As always, home team in italics. Keep the snarking and sarcasm coming!

Cal 7 over Wazzoo: Reality says Cal is still wildly inconsistent and does a face plant. Sunshine pumping no basis in reality optimism says they turned a corner against the bRuins. So going out on a limb here with the good feelings from that game. Mike Leach gets a good view of what "Couging it" means. Bears feast on puddytats.

Devils Rejects 22 over Colorado: Ralphie getting nervous about all those pitchforks aimed in her direction.

U$C 13.5 over Leg Humpers: This would be a good time for a previously unknown volcano to erupt at mid field during the coin toss. Mutts licking their wounds from Whoregon clown stomping and are neutered by middle of the third quarter.

Notre Dame 10 over Furd: Domers actually decent this year. Furd only three plays from being 1-4. Their luck in close games is going to run out soon, starting with this weekend.

BYU 3 over OSU: Fighting Mormons doing it with power running and defense... completely out of character. Beavers doing it with... something. It ain't flashy but it's working. Taking Beavers in a close one, and edging slightly beyond the spread.

bRuins 6 over Utah: Masked Mormons just don't have the horses to keep up with the powder blue imposters.

Mildcats lucky to hold Bye to 5 td's

I went a putrid 0-5 last week. Bageled. O'fer'd... :bigpuke:
That brings me to 21-27 on the season. Must strive for bowl eligibility!

Mrs. Robinsons - have the lead only to Coug-it at the end, but still beat the spread.

Forkers - They had a bye week to prep for CU. They will be ready!

Fuskies - Tough one... UW will struggle to score with their 1D offense and bad OL but I think Wilcox holds Barkley in check. Mutts beat the spread.

Domers - I remain unconvinced Furd is anything better than decent. ND is much better than that.

Crotch Pelts - That there's a good team up in Corvallis, and they're still healthy and should get a solid win in Provo.

UC Second Fiddle - Curious to see how Uclol responds... luckily they get a mediocre Utah team at home to a sellout Rose Bowl (lulz)

I finished off a miserable 1-4 (season total= 13-26). One reason for which was USC's inability to stop Utah's desperate 4th & 9 attempt in the waning moments of their Thursday night game. Oh well, yet another reason to detest the Trojans. On the this week:

Cal @ WSU: All year long we've heard that Cal has the athletes, we only need to come together. Well, that was done last night, so I think our confidence will get us rolling. I missed most of the OSU/WSU game, but they appear to have revolving QBs, and still no real ground game. So I'm betting on Cal to win & cover.

ASU @ Colorado: Looks like the Sun Devils are the real deal. The line may be a little high, but Colorado has shown virtually nothing to impress me. ASU to win & cover.

USC @ Washington: Trojans show that they still have the presence to come back from a 14 point hole. Washington has some talent and Sark looks to be a great game day coach, but after a back-and-forth 1st half, the Trojans pull away in the 2nd. USCto win & cover.

Stanford @ Notre Dame: Confess I don't know anything about ND, but I think Stanford grew up yesterday against Arizona. They may not win, but they'll keep it close enough so that the Irish don't clear the spread: Stanford.

OSU @ BYU: I think the Beavers may be running out of steam- they should have clobbered the Cougars yesterday, but instead it devolved down into a low scoring punching match. BYU to win & cover.

Utah @ UCLA: I think the Bruins are better than what we saw yesterday. Several of the interceptions were desperate attempts to come back from a big hole, and other mistakes of theirs are easily fixable (more plays with Franklin, for example). Utah lost big to ASU, and the closeness of their game vs USC was due to USC's mistakes, not to any great ability of the Utes. UCLA to win and cover.

but i will take that any day for a Cal victory! 14-16 for the year.

I will continue my reverse Cal mojo this week and choose WSU to cover, but deep down in my heart I feel like we match up well and should win by much more.

ASU won't be too concerned about Colorado and i think the buffs make it a game. ASU didn't look great against us by any means, we were just really bad.

I don't like USC to cover against anyone but us, especially on the road. So I will take Washington.

I'll take Notre Dame at home to put a pounding on furd.

I think OSU wins by a field goal

Bruins need a bounce back win here or things could get ugly for them. I like the Bruins to bounce back because I don't think Utah has the speed on D to do what we did.
