Waltz Across Texas - HPSWBT Week 9

You can attribute today's brevity to either a) last night's World Series game or b) the fact that I am so ashamed of last week's 3-7 performance. Also in play, this college football season is a Wookie. It makes no sense so why even try?

Any of those is fine by me.

Boston College @ Virginia Tech (-3)

This goes against everything I believe in as BC's traditional swoon typically hits right about now, but I cannot pick a VT team that is #8 in the country by default.

Kansas @ Texas Ag. & Mech. (+2.5)

South Carolina @ Tennessee (-3)

Home, away, it doesn't matter. Spurrier loves beating him some Vols.

Southern Cal @ Oregon (-3)

Mexican mouthpiece or not--that story warmed my heart, really--I'm liking Oregon more and more as a national title contender.

Iowa St. @ Missouri (-28)

Baylor @ Kansas St. (-25)

Cal @ Arizona St. (-3)

When you see a spoiler this year, take it.

Ohio St. @ Penn St. (-4)

I'd love if it someone, anyone, in the Big 10 could beat The OSU. Problem is I don't see that team here or anywhere.

Virginia @ NC State (+3)

Both the Virginia teams are overrated for lack of better options. Difference here is that the Pack is that bad.

Nebraska @ Texas (-20.5)

Why the hell not? If Bill Callahan can think he's done an "excellent job" then I can think Nebraska will magically find some way to do something well and keep this thing under 3 TDs. Also, I'll be in attendance for this game so I'm just trying to pump myself up a bit.

I've thought a lot about what my response will be to the "Man, ya'll suck" comments I'm sure to receive this Saturday and I think the only response is: "Thank you, I know."

Or maybe, "No question." Would that be lost on Texas fans?

Last Week:
3-7

Year to Date: 42-37-1

I wouldn't let them give you too much shit. And I'm guessing that a lot of them are going to be sympathetic about us having Bill Callahan as our coach.

Have fun, though, man.
