College Football Day

Thank God it’s Friday! I have been locked up in either my house or at my office now for the last seven days, I am ready to get out and go cause some trouble. Between Elizabeth and I having the flu and then having to catch up at work for the three days I missed, I am ready to go crazy so let me know what any of you are up to.

So tomorrow is college football day or as it’s now around the rest of the country Saturday. Again there are some great match ups around the country including a couple interesting games in the Big Ten.
-Ohio State playing Minnesota is quite an interestinggame, these two teams could go either way at this point of season. Ohio State coming of a horrible lose to Purdue really needs to come out and establish themselves offensively and defensively. We really need to see the defense flying around making big plays, and the offense really needs to sustain long drives to give the defense a break. Ohio State still controls its own destiny, win out and they can still win the Big Ten and that is a lot to play for. Minnesota on the other hand has looked very good at points in time this year but Offensively they need to establish someone else as an offensive threat, other than Decker. I think that Ohio State comes out and shuts Minnesota down. Their defense will come out angry and create some turnovers which will lead to easy points OSU 31 Minnesota 7

-Another Big Ten game that has some intrigue is the Michigan versus Iowa. I think that Michigan is the kind of team that can knock off anyone at anytime. They have an explosive offense that can score and score quickly and a Freshman Quarterback that doesn’t realize that Freshman aren’t supposed to win big games. Michigan’s problem is that they can’t stop anybody, their defense is anemic and is just weak. Iowa is really interesting to me, they did beat Penn State, but how good is Penn State. Iowa could be a really good team but they aren’t going to get a ton of respect from the national media until they beat a team outside the Big Ten, problem is they won’t play anyone outside the Big Ten until their bowl game. Iowa is a tough physical team that is playing an updated version of old school Big Ten foot ball. This game was a difficult to pick, I really think that Michigan can upset Iowa but Iowa has too much riding on this game: Iowa 38 Michigan 17

-A game that has big BCS implications that most people don’t know about is TCU versus BYU. That’s right this game has BCS implications simply for the reason TCU is undefeated and so is Boise State but only one of them will play in the BCS. TCU has a tougher schedule to finish up with, but if they win out they will jump Boise in the computer polls and probably in the human polls as well. This would mean that an undefeated Boise State team won’t only get hosed out of playing for a BCS title but they won’t even get to play in a BCS game. God I hate the BCS when will they finally get around to having a playoff? TCU 31 BYU 28

-Pay attention to what your government is doing! The Federal Reserve is now trying to take over all Executive pay in the Banking Industry, not just the banks that asked for federal help but all of them. You might ask why does this affect you ? If they take over Executive pay in the banking industry how long do you think it is going to take before they control all Executive pay. Well you might say I am not a executive , well you might not be right now, but there is a pretty good chance that you or someone you know will someday own their own business. That would make you or them an executive. What gives the government the right to tell people how much money people can make. We are a free market, or we are suppose to be, tell the government to leave us alone. Oh by the way those people who they government wants to cut their compensation pay the most taxes. The top 10% of all earners pay 90% of all taxes, just a thought.

-Real Deal you can’t criticize me for a typo when you don’t post, Team Secret Falcon Radio is going down the drain, and I still can’t dunk.
