It's time to BOILER UP!

I just have to say that before I start with the Purdue stuff tonight, we are currently under a tornado warning, so if I die before I finish this I promise to hit Publish Post. Right now the tornado in question is about 25 mins west of me. Hope the wind doesn't shift. Also thanks for the good questions, it's odd most of you don't mind the sports posts! I will be answering your questions Sunday so you still have time if you have anymore.

My beloved Boilers face the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday at the friendly confines of Ross Ade Stadium, and the one and only Nutz on a Roll will be going to the game with me again! Should be a good game, Iowa has become known for their great D even when their O sucks, and we are the opposite. Will the Hawks be able to score enough points to beat us?

This week's guest picker is none other than a soon to be famous author Travis. Travis is a big Nebraska fan, and all I can say to him right now is hang in there, the Cornhuskers will turn the corner. Onto the picks. David's Duke Blue Devils are off this week

NFL GAMES
Chicago at Philadelphia- For Shannon(philly)
Phats- I have always been a fan of DA BEARS, and benching Grossman was the right thing to do, unfortunately Griese isn't getting it done either. This game will be boring, but Shannon will like the outcome
PHILADELPHIA 31 chicago 21
Travis- I still have not forgiven the Bears for knocking out my Saints in last year's NFC championship, so I am going with Philly. And then there is the fact that the Bears QB's would have a hard time throwing the ball through a wet paper bag
PHILADELPHIA 27 da bears 10
EDIT FINAL SCORE CHICAGO 19 philly 16
Phats = D'oh
Travis = D'oh

Pittsburgh at Denver- For Rocket and Dabich(Pittsburgh)

EDIT FINAL SCORE TOLEDO 43 ohio 40

Boise State at Louisiana Tech- For Duck(Boise State)
Phats- BSU should have lost to Nevada(yes I originally put NMSU, I feel like a tard but I was under pressure the tornado was baring down on me), and La Tech almost beat Hawaii, tough one for BSU, but they pull out a nice road win
BOISE STATE 31 louisiana tech 28
Travis- I will forever love the Broncos their thrilling defeat over the Sooners last bowl season, but my wife's cousin used to punt for the Bulldogs too bad he is not still there. I got a feeling the punter will get lots of action this week
BOISE STATE 48 louisiana tech 14
EDIT FINAL SCORE BOISE STATE 45 la tech 31(Does BSU actually have a D?)
Phats = WOOHOO
Travis = WOOHOO

Bowling Green at Kent State- For Design Goddess(Kent State)
Phats- Falcons or Flashes, Falcons or Flashes, flipped a coin because they both suck and got Flashes
KENT STATE 7 bowling green 6
Travis- It is no secret that I hate all greens, and an entire bowl full of them is even worse. But what is a Golden Flash?
KENT STATE 31 bowling green 14
EDIT FINAL SCORE BOWLING GREEN 31 kent state 20
Phats = D'oh
Travis = D'oh

Idaho at New Mexico State- For Shife(Idaho)
Phats- Please don't read this Cher or Shife, because I have lost faith in the Vandals, and can't afford to lose to guest pickers anymore. NMSU is a tough team and will be too tough for Idaho
NEW MEXICO STATE 44 idaho 14
Travis- I am hoping this will be the only set of Aggies to win this weekend
NEW MEXICO STATE 22 idaho 16
EDIT FINAL SCORE NEW MEXICO STATE 45 idaho 31
Phats = WOOHOO
Travis = WOOHOO

Texas at Baylor- For Gary and Cheryl(Texas)
Phats- There was a cheer we used to do when another team was holding the ball alot in basketball, and that kind of explains this one, BORING BORING BORING hook em horns have no problems
TEXAS 55 baylor 6
Travis- I despise Texas but Baylor is the Pinata of the Big XII Bet Bevo would make up a tasty batch of burgers
TEXAS 52 baylor 6
EDIT FINAL SCORE TEXAS 31 baylor 10
Phats = WOOHOO
Travis = WOOHOO

Michigan at Illinois- For Scott(Michigan)
Phats- UM has refound their groove, and absolutely pounded my Boilers. Illinois is a pretender hasn't really played anyone in the big ten yet and will lose, BIG TIME
MICHIGAN 41 illinois 7
Travis- Since Big Blue seems to be on a roll give me Michigan
MICHIGAN 31 illinois 13
EDIT FINAL SCORE MICHIGAN 27 illinois 17

Mississippi State at West Virginia- for Angel Jr(West Virginia)
Phats- Is it just me or are there a lot of boring games this weekend? MSU might keep this close for a quarter.
WEST VIRGINIA 41 mississippi state 14
Travis- West Virginia is going to mount the bulldogs and ride them hard all day long
WEST VIRGINIA 34 mississippi state 10
EDIT FINAL SCORE WEST VIRGINIA 38 mississippi state 13
Phats = WOOHOO
Travis = WOOHOO

Auburn at Louisiana State- For Pissy and Leeann(Auburn)
Phats- Finally a good game, and I think this one will be. Auburn has found their groove again, and they will make the fans in Baton Rouge nervous well into the 4th, before falling to the Tigers in a good game
LSU 28 auburn 25
Travis- LSU should be pissed after losing to Kentucky. To make the game even more interesting I think the loser should have to give up the nickname and find a new one or move to another conference. Where's the originality
LSU 21 auburn 17
EDIT FINAL SCORE LSU 30 auburn 24
Phats = WOOHOO
Travis = WOOHOO

Tennessee at Alabama- For Cheryl, Gary, and Kimberly(Alabama)
Phats- I am going to pick against Alabama and hope it works again. Now, stop reading Gary and Cheryl, what I have seen from The Tide I haven't really been that impress with. UT hasn't been great this year, but they have enough to send Saban to another loss.
TENNESSEE 28 alabama 13
Travis- Another tough one but I think the Volunteers get more than they signed up for here as Saban pulls this one off at home
ALABAMA 17 tennessee 14
EDIT FINAL SCORE ALABAMA 41 tennessee 17(you're welcome gary and cheryl!)
Phats = D'oh
Travis = WOOHOO

Texas Tech at Missouri- For Jef and Fuzz(Texas Tech)
Phats- Sorry fuzz but it was time to replace that crap you called a fight song with a real one HAIL PURDUE baby! haha :) Texas Tech appeared in the rankings, and will drop from the rankings, Tigers will pound the Red Raiders in this one
MISSOURI 41 texas tech 7
Travis- Tech's coach Mike Leach reminds me of a fat Vince Gill(have you seen vince lately travis?) Texas Tech's campus is about 100 miles south of me and I kind of root for them unless they are playing the Huskers, but I think Missouri has a better balanced team
MISSOURI 45 texas tech 41
EDIT FINAL SCORE MISSOURI 41 texas tech 10
Phats = WOOHOO(Damn I was CLOSE!)
Travis = WOOHOO

Texas A&M at Nebraska- For Travis(Nebraska)
Phats- The huskers have way too much tradition to lose another game at home. Sure they have had some close calls in wins, and looked bad at other times, but they will get the job done against the Aggies. Nebraska in a thriller
NEBRASKA 31 texas a&m 28
Travis- GO BIG RED! Nebraska seems to look worse every week but after last week's debacle Callahan better get his troops ready to play or start pricing UHauls.
NEBRASKA 27 texas a&m 18
EDIT FINAL SCORE TEXAS A&M 36 nebraska 14(Stay away from the ledge travis!)
Phats = D'oh
Travis = D'oh

Iowa at Purdue
Travis- The Boilermakers will stop the bleeding and turn things around this week just as their former QB Drew Brees did for the Saints. And Iowa can't be very good they lost to Iowa State, and even Nebraska beat them
PURDUE 24 iowa 17

Phats- Well, the natives in West Lafayette are getting restless, we beat the teams we should and lose to the top teams every year, and it's pissing people off. I remember the bad times when we were 0-11 or 1-10 and I will take this any day. My Boilers will find their offense, and steam roll the Hawkeyes to become Bowl Eligible!
PURDUE 42 iowa 17

EDIT FINAL SCORE PURDUE 31 iowa 6 YAY!
Phats = WOOHOO
Travis = WOOHOO

Incase anyone is concerned the Tornado Warning has expired, but there is still a strong line of storms heading this way. I just hope I don't lose power!
