GO PURDUE SCREW IU!!! BTFU *EDITED

Hello bloggers!
Ahh the next to last Friday football preview, don't be sad I enjoy college basketball too haha! Well, like I said in the last post it's rivalry week that means we play those hated pussy's from down south that's right the indiana hoosiers. I hate them, I would rather eat pond scum then lose to them at anything. If we lose this game which better not happen, don't expect me to be social on the blog. On to the preview.

Last time out Purdue steamrolled Illinois, although it was close for awhile. I was very nervous when they took a 23-14 lead, but all was good when we recovered 4 straight fumbles and started to roll to a 42-31 win. In doing so we got our 7th win and became bowl eligible for the 9th time in Tiller's 10 years at Purdue. This is a big game tomorrow not only because it's a rivalry but because IU can become bowl eligible if they upset us. Since Tiller has arrived at Purdue the Old Oaken Bucket, which is what we play for, has pretty much never left West Lafayette. The one time it did was when IU beat us in a downpour on a bad call when I swear we got across the goal line. The Boilers have been even more impressive against our rivals at home, pretty much manhandling them. Not sure if that will happen, but I feel good about this one. Onto the predictions.

My guest picker this week is the very funny, Mr Shife. His predictions were pretty funny, and I think you will enjoy them I know I did. So, onto the predictions.

Big game of the week
Ohio State vs Michigan- Was there any doubt that this would be the big game. It might be the game of the century. #1 vs #2 the winner goes to the national title game, the loser likely to the rose bowl. Here is what i'd like to see happen, a really close like 1 point game and the loser getting a second shot in the title game, not sure if that will happen or not. Both have had their letdown game so this should be a GREAT game. It will be close, but I like OSU's defense a little better, I am picking Bucky
Phats- OHIO STATE 28 michigan 24
Mr Shife- #1 vs #2 and since I have to go #1 right now as I write this I am picking Ohio state to win OHIO STATE 35 michigan 24
EDIT FINAL SCORE OHIO STATE 42 michigan 39(what a game!)
Phats- WOOHOO
Shife- WOOHOO

Philadelphia vs Tennessee- For Shannon. Hmm the eagles look to be back on track, and I am not convinced that the Titans are that great. I will go with Shannon's eagles
Phats- PHILADELPHIA 31 tennessee 21
Mr Shife- The Titans should lose every week based on the fact that they have hideous uniforms. What exactly is their helmet logo? I have seen my fat basset drop more creative stuff out of his butt. I am going with the eagles PHILADELPHIA 42 tennessee 17
EDIT FINAL SCORE TENNESSEE 31 philadelphia 13
Phats- D'oh
Shife- D'oh

UAB vs Southern Mississippi- For Kayla. Well traditionally Southern Miss is a pretty strong program not sure if that is the case this year. UAB has really struggled down the stretch. I would love to pick the Blazers for my pal Kayla, but I just can't sorry Kayla.
Phats- SOUTHERN MISS 35 uab 21
Mr Shife- My knowledge of these two teams ranks right up there with my grasp on astrophysics. If this was a basketball game i'd pick UAB, so I am picking Southern Miss since this is a football game. SOUTHERN MISS 35 uab 28
EDIT FINAL SCORE SOUTHERN MISS 25 uab 20
Phats- WOOHOO
Shife- WOOHOO

Eastern Michigan vs Kent State- For Design Goddess. Ahh the golden flashes have had a rough couple of weeks, and I see them getting it back on track this week. They will not only win this game they will roll! Golden Flashes all over EMU
Phats- KENT STATE 42 eastern michigan 7
Mr Shife- Directional Michigan against the Golden Flashes. Come on, how cool is that nickname? So, the nickname factor plus the fact I think Design Goddess is quite the cool lady, Kent State wins. KENT STATE 42 eastern michigan 14
EDIT FINAL SCORE KENT STATE 14 eastern michigan 6
Phats- WOOHOO
Shife- WOOHOO

Duke vs Georgia Tech- For David. Well Tech has already clinched their division in the ACC, so this game is meaningless. I don't see a Duke upset her at all, Tech Rolls and my relatives all tech fans are happy.
Phats- GEORGIA TECH 55 duke 3
Mr Shife- I will try to be completely objective on this one. Oh wait, I can't because as Cartman would say, "Duke can suck my balls." I hate Duke with a passion, and get ready Cameron Crazies because the tar heels are going to kick your butt again this year in hoops. But I digress, this is about football. Georgia Tech wins this one easily. GEORGIA TECH 156 duke 0
EDIT FINAL SCORE GEORGIA TECH 49 duke 21
Phats- WOOHOO
Shife- WOOHOO

Washington vs Washington State- For Egan. Ahh the battle for the Apple Cup. I remember watching this game one year played in a snowstorm, and a lot of the teams this game means something. Not this year. UDub has been on a downward spiral, and the loss to the drunk tree team finished them. Cougars roll.
Phats- WASHINGTON STATE 44 washington 14
Mr Shife- Wazzu had a bye last week and Washington lost to Stanford. So, what does that mean? The apple cup will go to the Cougs this year WASHINGTON STATE 56 washington 10
EDIT FINAL SCORE WASHINGTON 35 washington state 32

Oklahoma vs Baylor- For Mylife- This one is a snoozer, and the Sooners will have absolutely no problems. BOOMER SOONER!
Phats- OKLAHOMA 60 baylor 14
Mr Shife- This one is simple, Baylor sucks. OKLAHOMA 35 baylor 7
EDIT FINAL SCORE OKLAHOMA 36 baylor 10
Phats- WOOHOO
Shife- WOOHOO(that was close shife!)

Oklahoma State vs Texas Tech- For Jef and Fuzz. Hmm Cowpokes vs Red Raiders, interesting mascot battle. My money is on the red raider. Texas Tech will slowly but surely pull away from the cowboys to take this one.
Phats- TEXAS TECH 42 oklahoma state 28
Mr Shife- Don't know much about these teams either. This gets the coin flip treatment, heads it's the cowboys, tails it's the red raiders. And there's the flip and it looks like my quarter just rolled onto the street, and down a sewage drain. CRAP! Oh hell I am picking TEXAS TECH 42 oklahoma state 38
EDIT FINAL SCORE TEXAS TECH 30 oklahoma state 24
Phats- WOOHOO
Shife- WOOHOO

California vs Southern Cal- For Fearless- Ahh the pac 10 AKA the conference only the left coast cares about. This is a big game, and not for 1 vs 2 would be the game of the week. USC had no problems with the ducks last week, but Cal is better then Oregon this will be a tough test, and USC can't afford to slip sitting at #3 in the BCS. Trojans will slowly but surely dominate this game, and send the bears into hibernation.
Phats- USC 41 california 31
Mr Shife- Big game for both schools but, I think USC wins this one. The Bears had a major letdown against Arizona and the Trojans are back on track after getting thumped by Oregon State a few weeks ago. I am picking the fighting prophylactics. USC 38 cal 20
EDIT FINAL SCORE USC 23 california 9
Phats- WOOHOO
Shife- WOOHOO

Alabama vs Auburn- For Cherly and Gary and Pissy and LeeAnn. Ahh yes it's iron bowl time! Does the winning team iron the losing teams uniforms? I called this one early, that Bama would upset the Tigers. However, coming off a stunning loss to UGA might be the worst thing that could happen for Bama, as Auburn will be fired up even more. This is a big rivalry and you can throw the records out the window. Bama stuns Auburn getting bragging rights for this year ROLL TIDE!
Phats- ALABAMA 42 auburn 35 2 OT's
Mr Shife- Isn't this called the Iron Bowl or something? Why? I have no idea, and I can't also think of one good reason why Auburn would lose this game. Roll Tide..... I don't think so AUBURN 31 alabama 21
EDIT FINAL SCORE AUBURN 22 alabama 15
Phats- D'oh
Shife- WOOHOO

Idaho vs Fresno State- For Shife. Ahh my guest pickers Alma Mater. Idaho has had a successful season by its standards, and Fresno used to be a tough team to beat in the Wacky WAC. This year Fresno has taken it's lumps, and the Vandals will give them one more Saturday. GO IDAHO!
Phats- IDAHO 35 fresno state 20
Mr Shife- This one is also simple: Idaho sucks, but wait so does Fresno State. Very interesting. Can my beloved Vandals win this game? Yes. Do I think they are going to win this game? Why not. IDAHO 24 fresno state 17 GO VANDALS!
EDIT FINAL SCORE FRESNO STATE 34 idaho 0
Phats- D'oh
Shife- D'oh

Purdue vs Indiana- Well, another big time rivalry, and like I said before you can throw the records out. IU is actually playing for something, they need a win to become bowl eligible. I see it going down 2 different ways. One a close game, and two a Purdue blow out. I don't see IU winning this game, they have struggled in Ross Ade, and this IU team is not good no matter what anyone says. If we play our game we will waltz to victory, and get to play the grinch that steal christmas. If we play average we'll win in a close one. Last time we played them at Ross Ade we put 60 on them, a bad Minnesota team put 64 on them this year, they have absolutely no secondary to speak of that will be the difference Boilers get the offense rolling and blow out the LOSERS, i mean hoosiers. The Bucket stays where it belongs in West Lafayette!

Mr Shife- According to Phats, somebody gets a bucket if they win this game. I am not sure what is in the bucket so maybe it's worth winning. You can also use a good bucket right? Anyway, I am pretty sure if I don't BTFU on this pick I will break the heart of our dear friend Phats. So, Purdue it is PURDUE 45 indiana 28

PHATS PURDUE PREDICTION
