Denizens, as we begin this week’s episode of the Perfect Football Weekend™, I wanna direct your attention to the following screenshot below.
Now, obviously I’m writing this before the game’s started (at least, I started  the post in the morning), and they have since changed it.  However…I took this screenshot on Tuesday.
Think maybe there’s something the Lame Stream Mediots™ at the Startlegram know, that I don’t?
Let’s get on with it.  It is my Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets against the White Settlement (TX) Brewer hah skrewl  (a little Rush lingo, there) Bears right now as I continue to type this.  I have no idea how good Brewer is, except that they’ve kicked the shit outta both Trimble Tech & Western Hills the last couple o’ weeks.
Uh, oh.
Tomorrow morning, it’s an early breakfast for Gary Patterson and his 16th-ranked TCU Horned Frogs as they travel to Lawrence, KS, to face our old friends and former PFW targets, Rock Chalk.  And I was really  looking forward to this one – at least, until they canned Turner Gill.
KU has Charlie Weis now – and while he’s a good offensive coordinator and a decent enough head coach, he’s not all that great.  If he were, do you think Notre Dame would’ve ever gotten rid of him?
Still, Vegas has the Frogs as a 21-point road favorite – and I just don’t buy that.  Yes, TCU kicked the snot outta Grambling, and yes – Rock Chalk lost to Rice, of all people, at home.  Call it a “trap” game if you want – I just don’t have a good feeling about this one.
Speaking of Turner Gill, his Division I-AA Liberty U. Flames are on the road at Montana this week.  Montana beat S.Dakota State, but lost to Appalachian State (no shame there), so we’ll apply the SpatulaLine and ask Turner to keep it within, say, 35.
Also tomorrow, we’ll see if Bo Pelini’s Nebraska Cornhuskers can throw up something more than a matador defense against perennial powerhouse  (*cough*) Arkansas State.  (Then again, State may be the best team in  Arkansas at the moment.    )
Vegas has the Huskers as a 23½-point favorite at home, so look for it to come down to a Brett Maher field goal.
Bucky – that’s unranked  Bucky, for the first time in Cthulhu knows when – is home Saturday to take out all of their Oregon State frustrations on the Aggies of Utah State.  The Ags just got through upsetting BYU last week though (why anyone considers that an upset is beyond me – that program isn’t exactly headed in a northerly direction, y’know?), so this isn’t a gimme, although Vegas thinks they’re a solid 13½-point favorite at Camp Randall.  The Badgers need to get it in gear fast, though, so we’ll see what happens.
Sunday afternoon, it’s the Dallas C’girlz on the road to take on the Seattle Seahags.  Bucky’s own Russell Wilson starts now for the Seahawks, and word is that he’s a poor man’s ARRRRRRRRRR GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
I disagree vehemently.  I think Wilson’s actually got some talent.
(Oklahoma gets a week off to finish digesting Florida A&M.  Burp.)
We’re back Monday or so for the recap.  In the meantime, HDD…how would you try & defend Russell Wilson?

I’d try to rush up the middle, contain on the edges.
Wilson ain’t that tall.
