Classic football

For his preview article of tomorrow's Iowa-Penn State matchup, ESPN columnist begins with a few important life questions(sort of). My reaction: If you like your steak grilled (duh), your potato baked (with bacon, broccoli and cheese thank you) and your whiskey straight (now you're really speaking my language), tune into Iowa's visit to Penn State on Saturday night. (Wouldn't miss it for the world). This really is my kind of football. I would love a 13-7 game with one offensive touchdown the entire game.
Interestingly, the Hawkeyes under Kirk Ferentz are 6-2 against the Nittany Lions. And what kind of fan would I be if I didn't think they will make it 7-2? Exactly; my call is 14-13 Iowa, no last second field goals in this one.

For the other big games tomorrow my picks are:
North Carolina edges out Georgia Tech, and Cincinnati and KU continue their winning ways during the noon hour. At 3:30, Cal will control time of possession and Jahvid Best will emerge as an early Heisman front-runner as the Bears win solidly over the Oregon Ducks, and Miami continues its run to an ACC championship with a win at Virgina Tech solely due to the ineptitude of the Tech offense. And just for my cousin at Colorado State, hate to admit it, but BYU will roll over your Rams. After the Iowa game, the West Coast games conclude the night with Texas Tech falling just short against new trendy BCS buster pick Houston, and USC recovers from the Washington loss by winning at the only team more inept in the PAC-10 last season (Though I will call it right now that USC will lose 2-3 games and Cal will finally unseat them atop the PAC-10).

Enjoy the games, and check back tomorrow night for NFL picks.
