We're live here at the Fresno State-Utah State game, and stalled due to about 84 penalties in a row. So let's talk some football, using the time-tested shotgun method.
Iowa: There's always some team that gets good breaks every week and somehow goes undefeated, or nearly undefeated. Apparently that team for 2009 is Iowa. The Hawkbirds, or Eyepatches, whatever Iowa's mascot is, just keep winning. Today they were impossibly down to Indiana and then somehow win a blowout. I hear they were helped by a reversed touchdown call. Figures. The Big Ten is overrated, even though everyone knows they're no good. That's how bad it is. I'm telling you right now, Fresno State could beat Iowa. It's not going undefeated. Promise.
Eliminator: For those of you still alive in eliminator pools, I really think Oakland is going to keep burning people. I know the San Diego Chargers are the popular pick this week, along with the Bears, but I'd avoid the Chargers. That Oakland defense is decent. Or maybe I'm just saying that because the stupid Raiders knocked me out of my pool when they beat Philadelphia.
Kickers: A couple notes about today's kickers in the Fresno State-Utah State game. Chris Ulinski, recently lost his father to swine flu. His dad had cancer, then went to the hospital for a checkup and contracted swine flu while he was there. I wrote about his family a couple years ago, and they are extremely nice people. Fresno State's kicker, Kevin Goessling, just made a 50-yard field goal, and made it easily. Wow. The kick hit the net. He has only missed one field goal all year, at the Wisconsin game. He's really come on as an automatic make from just about any distance.
Oregon: One last thought about tonight's Oregon vs. USC game. Oregon wins, 34-21. You read it hear first.
