Football,football,football

Oh my god!! Two more home games!! AHHHH...NNOOOO!! At the conclusion of this season, LOST will have participated in 9 games of a 12 game schedule.What a ride so far! I think most of us are holding strong, Mc Caesar is wearing a bit, but he's a fu@#ing trooper.We have got REAL badgers showing up this week.McOrifice has invited Josh (son-in-law) and his father, both or at least one is a Wisco alumni.Guests are fun, and they will be sacrificed on the altar.........
I mean, they will be treated with all the customary respect and so forth.I have met Josh , and he's a regular kinda guy, so we should all have fun, as usual.Fist will probably be showing up late, so he will unfortunately miss out on the Bocce action, but I think he's learned by now, that his run has ended.Sarah, Georgiebitch and yours truly are all within 1 point of each other tournament wise, so the last two should be a fast and furious race.I did really well when OSU came to town, Im hopeful to keep up the pace.I have BIG plans if I happen to win the tournament, plus I get to host the Tailgate tuneup.That will be spectacular.
At any rate, on to football.....
Heres the deal skip.
Minnesota's sched is as follows Northwestern @ home
Michigan @ home
Wisconsin AWAY
Iowa @ home
Save the Wolverinoes, all these could be losses.I dont buy into Minnesota magically turning into a ranked team after a 1-11 season last year.I know, I know, their record is..blah blah blah.Whatever.Minnesota has the top receiver in the nation and is playing inspired defense, but I really feel that ONE home loss or a key injury, and WHAM.They plummet back to earth.At any rate, they wont end the year with one conference loss.I am convinced.Iowa maybe.

Ohio States sched is as follows Northwestern AWAY
Illinois AWAY
Michigan @ home with a bye week prior to UM.
The sched obviously favors OSU to end with a single conference loss.I really think the loss to Penn State last weekend poo-pooed the spirits of bucknut nation,and it also exposed more weaknesses with Pryor.Unfortunatley, I really dont see any remaining teams that could ding up OSU, unless OSU provides the fuel for the fire.A bad game at Illinois is possible, maybe a slip at NW (I wouldnt bet on it) and UM is going to get crushed.If UM beats OSU at home this year I shall officially know NOTHING about college football.I would trade my reputation if it means MSU tops OSU in conference record.That eases the struggle to the Rose Bowl.But it wont happen, the Wolverinoes are road kill under the wheels of the Beanie train.

Penn State sched is as follows Iowa AWAY
Indiana @ home
MSU @ home
Has anyone spotted who my new best friend is? If you havent, I'll tell you later on.Penn State has shown on the national stage that they are a team LARGE and IN CHARGE.They have had a few spots where they slipped (Purdue for one), but overall, they look healthy and well coached.BIG SURPRISE.Any loss on the way to face MSU will surely help our cause,but I honestly think its going to settle at the end.The Penn State website and the media is already hyping the MSU/Penn St game.They assume a lot, considering MSU has got to beat Wisconsin (looking like a heartbeat has been established with a win at Iowa) and the Great Satan.T.G.S (Purdue shall always be referred to as the Great Satan, or TGS) looks bad with controversy within the team, and really nothing to play for.

My new best friends , if you havent got it yet is IOWA.Yes, our farm friends to the west.Iowa can knock out Minnesota, if the Phers can make it all the way to the end without losing AND with any blessing of luck, can put a conference loss on Penn State this weekend.The ding on PennState would put ALL the pressure on PSU for a matchup with MSU.If , but, what, coulda, shoulda,etc.etc. Spartan nation NEEDS the titanic PSU game to sum up the best season in a long time.The hawkeyes have two losses already, so they are all but eliminated from Rose Bowl pictures.

Lots to consider.Plans within plans for sure.Hang on Spartans, glory lies ahead.

Burn the ships warriors, for Spartans, there is only two ways home
Victory
or
Death
