So I’m sitting here listening to the what will probably be the best game of the week, KU and South Florida tied at 34 with under a minute and KU with the ball, and I’m wondering why college football deemed the USC vs Ohio State game the Collision at the Colosseum? Going over the barspotting post, it looks like it should be Rivalry Week. Iowa vs. Iowa State, Texas vs Arkansas, Notre Dame vs Michigan. Those are big time games. Granted UT and Ark got moved because of Ike and the Domers against the Wolves isn’t nearly what it was, but it seems like those handful of games should at least match the big time game Saturday night. I know one thing, I’m glad I’m not at The Other Place again because I don’t think the Iowa fans in the area can handle another loss to the ‘Clones. Here’s this week’s picks:

I know I’ve talked about goofy weekend names before, so I won’t bother ranting again about that. My question is, what happens when they run out of alliterative names for weekends? Will they be esoteric or abstract and call a week “Juxtaposition Saturday” or “The Milk Has Gone Bad Weekend?” I hope not. Although “Serial Murder Saturday” has a nice ring to it.
