Welcome back to the watch. The watch will actually not be watching much of the games on Saturday because I, with fellow A.C.S.S. writers Fodor, Shark, and Derek (though with a different group) will be descending on Ann Arbor to cheer on our beloved Hoosiers in the Big House against the Wolverines! I feel a repeat of Ap State. Ok, maybe I agree with my Dad who took Michigan and gave the 21 points to IU. His wager, just like mine for this weekend, were legally bought in Las Vegas. I’ve had fight songs stuck in my head all day so I think I’m sufficiently pumped. On to the Watch!
Friday 09/25/09
Missouri at Nevada
I think Mizzou is going to roll, but I love seeing power conferences go to lesser conferences for away games. It shows the school has no fear and money isn’t the main goal of everything.
Who I think is going to Win: Mizzou
Who I want to win: Mizzou
Australian Rules Football! 10:30 ESPN Classic
I know, who watches it, just turn it on and enjoy, it’s like rugby, football, basketball, rolled into 1 and jumping on guys backs is legal and encouraged. Just watch it, for me.
Who I want to Win: St Kilda
Who I think will Win: Geelong
Saturday 09/26/09
Gameday 10 AM ET ESPN, State College, PA
Corso and Co descend on Happy Valley to hype up the Iowa vs Penn St game where PSU looks to avenge the loss from last years
Who do I think Corso will pick: Penn St.
Who do I want Corso to pick: Sorry Colin and Anne, but PSU needs this more then Iowa, so PSU.
10 AM – 4 PM Ann Arbor
The watch will be taking the crap from the maize and blue as he proudly rocks his Ray Fisher jersey (which was formerly a Benjarvis GreenEllis jersey). We plan to arrive at the Big House at 10, bust out Tim’s grill where we will be making Eggs, Bacon, Sausage breakfast sandwiches. We got a regulation size pong table where some drinking games will take place. Then we will descend on the Big House and watch IU destroy (maybe not) Michigan.
Who I want to win: HOOSIERS!
Who I think will win: Go Blue!
Iowa at Penn State 7 ET ABC
A big ten show down that could pave the way to a Big Ten Title for either team. Iowa has won 6 of the last 7, including their last few visits to happy value. Joe Pa says there is no such thing as revenge, Iowa just plain beat them last year. I still think Penn State’s players are thinking about it, and are going to roll.
Who I want to win: Again sorry Colin and Anne, But PSU needs this more PSU
Who I think will win: WE ARE…..PENN STATE
Notre Dame vs Purdue ESPN 7 ET
Notre Dame has to win this game (and preferrably big) if they want to continue to claim that they are back. Purdue needs to bounce back from an embarrassing home loss to Northern Illinois. Because of these circumstances, and the fact both teams love passing, this should be a good game to watch.
Who I want to win: Notre Dame
Who I think will win: Notre Dame
Texas Tech vs Houston ESPN2 8:15 ET
Will Houston prove to be legit? I sure hope so, this should be a high scoring shootout and should be a pleasure to watch.
Who I want to win: Houston
Who I think will win: Houston
Wager Washington State at Southern Cal
Wazzu is getting 45 points. That’s a lot of points and So Cal has not looked that good on offense. Granted So Cal is coming off the loss and could be pissed and take it out on Wazzu. I sure hope not, hey Wazzu only lost to Stanford by 26. Wait why am I doing this again? Anyways be sure to look for my friend Kelly in the stands as I pray for a close game.
Sunday 09/27/09
Wager: Green Bay vs St Louis 1 PM ET
St Louis has 1 touchdown this season, so I took the Packers and gave the 6.5. I’m feeling good cause the Rams are bad, but I hope they win and I lose money. We will see if it happens
Wager: New Orelans vs Buffalo 4:05
I took over 52 points in this game. New Orleans is averaging 46.5 points a game, they could basically do this by themselves. Buffalo actually has a pretty good offense and could put some points of their own. It’s in Buffalo, but the weather should be nice so points should be a coming.
BEARS at Seattle 4:05
The Bears travel to the great northwest to take on Hasselbackless Seahawks team. I think the Bears should take care of business easily and prove to TJ that he made the wrong choice of team this off season.
Who I want to win: Bears
Who I think will win: Bears
Wager Colts at Cards
My last wager of the weekend I took the Colts +2.5 over the Cards. Cards had a great week with Warner setting an NFL record for completion percentage, however, Manning under the bright lights (of the regularly season) plays well and I think he leads his team to a victory. I am afraid the Colts defense will come up flat after being on the field for 45+ minutes last game.

Tim told me Aussie Rules football is awesome - apparently he went to a game while he was over there and it was kickass.
ReplyDeleteGO IU! Northwestern also has a huge game against Minnesota this weekend - these two teams have played some great ones in the recent past (double OT a few years ago, Kafka goes for 200+ on the ground last year) and this should be another epic.
Notre Dame is going to crush Purdue. I'm just hoping IU can give Michigan a run, so that we don't look too bad in our IU gear.
