Nix Pix NFL Week Eight
Week Se7en
Last Week: 1-1-1
Season: 7-8-3
No Picks. On vacation in Seattle.
Week Eight
Last Week: 0-0-0
Season: 7-8-3
My trip to Oz has put me behind the eight ball time wise and I’m struggling to catch up. I spent eight hours recapping my misadventures on my personal blog (click EL SANDINISTA link) and barely have had time to pick three winners. Now I’m preparing my all time most evil and humiliating costume for the Halloween festivities this evening: RAIDER NICK. I’m not going to use the politically incorrect title for this outfit here. Scott at Bases Loaded recommended I wash myself with tomato juice after today. I was thinking more like setting myself on fire.
Indianapolis -6.5 @ Carolina
Vinnie’s back aka the living dead of quarterbacks. Wasn’t Charlie Frye one of his pallbearers a couple years ago? Somehow he has scared the odds makers into this ridiculous line. A kid born in 1987, his rookie year, could legally drink beer in all 50 states now. Maybe the thought is the Colts are looking past this game to the Patriots match-up.
Nick’s Pick: COLTS
Buffalo @ New York (A) -3
NYJ if you prefer. I’m taking an underdog just because. If Testicleverde was still a Jet I’d actually have a reason but he’s filming Shaun of the Dead 2 in Tarheel Country this weekend. Let’s see if I can make one more crack about him in the third pick.
Nick’s Pick: BILLS
MNF: Green Bay @ Denver -3
Can’t do it. Or can I? Vincent is so old he has been in the NFL four more seasons that Brett who go into Mile High where the Broncos, aside from last week, have had a home field disadvantage. Since I’m Raider Nick today I just can’t go with the Donkeys. I have to get started on my I LOVE AL DAVIS fake tattoo now.

College Football Week 8: Watch Your Back BC
Watch your back Boston College. The Eagles are the new number two ranked team this week by virtue of the fact that they had a bye, and thanks to previous number two South Florida losing to Rutgers. In college football number two is playing like, well, number two, having lost the last three weeks. That trend has to stop at some point, but BC faces number eight Virginia Tech on the road Thursday, so it could be four weeks in a row soon.
Undefeated Ohio State is still number one, but faces a tough test on the road against Penn State, who are unranked but have a 6-2 record this season. The Buckeyes played half of a good game Saturday against Michigan State, winning 24-17, but they'll have to play better against the Nittany Lions. The Big 10 is weak this year, but if Ohio State can win out they deserve to play in the championship game.
At number three LSU could be the new number two if Boston College loses. Of all the one-loss teams, LSU seems to have the inside track to the BCS championship game. The Tigers beat Auburn on a last second touchdown pass Saturday. They have a bye week this week, but should face a tough Alabama team on November 3 (former LSU coach Nick Saban is 'Bama's coach now). If LSU can win out their schedule and if Arizona State and Boston College fail to go undefeated (highly likely), the Tigers go to the big dance.
Oklahoma and Oregon round out the top five. Both teams need to concentrate on winning and let what happens happen. That old cliche that you control your own destiny applies most to these teams. It's not unfathomable that Ohio State, Boston College and LSU could all lose one or more games before the season is done. That might mean the Sooners and the Ducks in the BCS championship game (if both teams take care of business, obviously), which would be interesting in light of their recent history against one another.

UPDATE: New BCS Standings
Once again, the BCS is a flawed system. Let's get a playoff. Here's the latest numbers:
1. Ohio State
2. Boston College
3. LSU
4. Arizona State
5. Oregon
6. Oklahoma
7. West Virginia
8. Virginia Tech

College Football Week 7.5: No. 2 Goes Down Again
Number 2 South Florida lost to unranked Rutgers tonight, defying the CK1 challenge to all top 10 teams to stop losing. My question to you, faithful reader, is: Which other top 10 will lose this week? At this point I'm taking it as a given that it's going to happen. Leave your predictions in the comments.

College Football Week 7: 1-2 Punch
I am issuing an open challenge to the top 10 teams in college football this week: STOP LOSING. If the wild, weird world of college football gets any wilder or weirder I'll take it as a sign of the impending apocalypse.
Seriously, though, how 'bout them Kentucky Wildcats? Isn't that supposed to be a basketball school? UK over LSU in 3 overtimes is, for now, my game of the year. Everything college football is supposed to be: lots of offense, back and forth scoring, and the good guys won. Rich Brooks (former Oregon coach) has always done amazing things with whatever talent he has lying around. That's not to say that Kentucky isn't talented, but they definitely don't have the manpower LSU has.
On the other hand, you have Cal losing to Oregon State. This game was a complete reversal of the Oregon-Cal game from two weeks ago. This time it was the Golden Bears who made all the mistakes down the stretch, and the unpredictable Beavers capitalized. Cal is still the more talented team here. They almost beat the Beavs despite starting a redshirt freshman quarterback. What this game proves more than anything is that the Pac-10 is the toughest conference in the country top to bottom. Actually Stanford 24, USC 23 proved that.
Anywayzzle, the first BCS rankings of the year are out this week:
1. Ohio State
2. South Florida
3. Boston College
4. LSU
5. Oklahoma
6. South Carolina
7. Kentucky
8. Arizona State
9. West Virginia
10. Oregon
I don't pretend to know how the BCS system works and I'm sure these rankings will change over the next couple weeks as a few of these teams play some tougher competition (I'm looking at you Arizona State and Boston College), but this provides me my first opportunity to push for a college football playoff. Seriously, the BCS system is flawed, especially in a year like this where there is no consensus number one team, and where upsets have been the norm. Let's turn the bowl games into playoff games, and crown a real number one team at the end of the season.

Nix Pix NFL Week Six
Week Six
Last Week: 0-3-0 (oh poo)
Season: 6-7-2
Let’s not talk about last week. Let’s pretend it didn’t happen. I feel like the girl you see walking away from the C Float in St. Paul’s Harbor at 10am on a Saturday morning. The only highlight was I bet the news director a beer Dallas would come back and win with six minutes left in the game and Big D down to Buffalo 16-24. He should have bet me double or nothing that Romo wouldn't fumble the snap on the game winning field goal attempt. Now that I think about it, does he even hold anymore? If you think kickers get little respect, what about holders? Laces out, baby, laces out. Well I’m leaving for Seattle soon and have a case of the short timers so I’ll be snappy with Nix Pix Week Six.
Tennessee @ Tampa Bay -3
I’m going with the Titans cuz I’m a strong believer in Italian QBs.
Nick’s Pick: TITANS
New Orleans +6 ½ @ Seattle
I’m going to be at this Sunday night affair so loom for me in the southern end zone between the posts on the extra point views. I’m the sexy one in white. The last time the Ain’ts visited Qwest Filed I witnessed a guy rooted against Seattle on the other end of my row get into a fight and ejected. If you are surprised New Orleans fans are that rowdy then you should know the guy was decked out in Raider gear. Yes, an Oakland fan went to a Seahawks-Saints game, got into a fight, and was kicked out. I think my starting the Raiders Suck chant in the entire section had something to do with it. I hope.
Nick’s Pick: SEAHAWKS (yes, I realize I picked them last week and they got shut out for the first time in five years so shut up)
New England -5 ½ @ Dallas
I have to admit this should be the Sunday night game or really the Monday night game. Sadly I’ll probably miss it because I’ll be tailgating out of THE FAN VAN (see above) all afternoon. I think the emotional high of getting lucky Monday night will give way to the next game letdown and SuperDave will be dancing in the streets with Doug Letch and the thousands of other Boston fans in Kodiak. It wasn’t like this when I was a kid. I only knew one Patriots fan in elementary school and his name was Timmy Timmons. Timmy bet somebody that if Dallas beat New England he’d switch loyalties from his team to the Cowboys. Dallas won. He switched. I never understood this bet. I never will.

College Football Week 6: Stanford Shocker
I have to admit I largely ignored this week in college football. The Duckies had the week off, and with the exception of a couple of interesting match ups (Florida v. LSU and Oklahoma v. Texas), I figured the favorites would mostly cruise.
I mean, USC against Stanford, what was the score of that one? Trojans 63 Cardinal 0? That's what I was thinking to myself when I rolled outta bed this morning at the crack of noon. After checking today's NFL scores, I took a look at the college games from yesterday and... wait... wha? wha happened? 24-23 Cardinal? How could this be? What kind of topsy turvy world are we living in? I debated long and hard about including a little Stanford logo in this post, but fortunately thought better of it. I hate that stupid tree.
I've probably already written too many times the any team, any time, anywhere blah blah blah cliche. Although it certainly applies in this case I'd rather concentrate on what this particular little shocker means for the Pac-10, specifically the top three teams: Cal, Oregon, and USC.
The most obvious thing is that Cal is now the number two team in the nation, the position formerly occupied by USC. And while it makes sense that the unbeaten Golden Bears would move up from number three, I'm not so sure they're a better team than the Trojans. We'll see when they play each other November 10. Oregon, which has already lost to Cal, moved ahead of USC in this week's poll, despite being idle. The Ducks are ninth, while the Trojans dropped to number 10 (that's a bit far, even for a team that can't beat Stanford). But in the grand scheme of things it makes sense, since the Trojans basically have to beat Cal and Oregon to have any hopes of winning the Pac 10. Still, I'd argue that the Ducks have to show that they can bounce back from the loss to Cal to prove that they're better than USC. Even if they're able to do that by beating Washington State and the Huskies the next two weeks, they still have to beat the Trojans three weeks from now.
Sound complicated? That's why I love college football. Every game is basically a playoff game. Would it be better if there was a real playoff to decide the national champion? Yes, but there's not, so sit back and enjoy the ride.
Other thoughts... If LSU had lost to Florida, Cal would be the number one team in the nation right now. What's next, Stanford ranked in the top 25?... Oklahoma did well to bounce back from last week's anomalous loss to Colorado, nice victory over Texas... Boston College and South Florida (no. 4 and no. 5 respectively) are ranked way too high, even for teams with no losses. If you're going to put teams in the top 10 just because nobody's beaten them, why not put Missouri (5-0, no. 11), Arizona State (6-0, no. 14), Cincinnati (6-0, no. 15), Hawaii (6-0, no. 16), and Kansas (5-0, no. 20) in there?... At least Wisconsin lost to finally prove, once and for all, that they are not a top 10 team... And lastly, way to go Notre Dame! First victory of the year! Woo hoo! But boo to UCLA for so poorly representing the Pac-10.

Monday Night Football at Tony's Bar Week 5
This week the Dallas Cowboys venture up to upstate New York to face the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have not graced the television on Monday in 13 seasons so this is a rare treat. Quit making faces. Last week Tony's served up some killer tacos so come on down and have some grub, a brewski, or both. In case you didn't hear, Tony's now accepted credit cards, another modern step for one of the good old bars in town. Of course you can win that coveted JOCK OF THE ROCK T-shirt at the third quarter drawing too. Come on down and see all the action on the megahuge ginormous 67" wide screen TV. See you there.
Nix Pix NFL Week Five
Week Five
Last Week: 2-1-0 (getting there)
Season: 6-4-2
I really have nothing to say this week if you can believe that. I’ve been sick for over a week now and you know life is dull when the highlight of the week is getting Disc Seven, Season Two of Enterprise from Netflix. Did I mention my life is boring yet? Vulcans have more active sex lives than me. I need about two weeks on Orion, er, in Vegas. That’s where the interactive thing at the Hilton is. Really. Instead of telepathy with Emma the Dog this week I’ve just consulted with Smokey the Cat, house pet of the Round Table's Pizza Chris (not Pizza Chris of Round Table, get it straight). And no mind meld either, just NyQuil and spinning in my chair twenty times, Smokey gave me three rock solid picks and then told me to chase CK-1 with a steak knife. I'm not sure why but I'll do it.
Chicago @ Green Bay -3
Isn’t Northwestern in Chicago? And the Cubs? All this losing is going to kill the city’s hopes for the 2016 Olympic Games. The good news is Marion Jones is now available to QB the Bears now. If I had to make a Star Trek analogy to the Bears it would be their fans are like Spock & the gang in the fourth movie since both travel back in time to 1985. Of course the Enterprise did it once to fetch some whales, the Bear fans do it every Sunday to wish for The Fridge. Meanwhile, Favre has basically become the Shattner of the NFL, a career that never seems to end although the Packer QB is in a different universe in the humble department.
Nick’s Pick: PACKERS
Seattle +5 ½ @ Pittsburgh
I’m still bitter. Steeler fans are like the fricking Borg. There are a billion of them and none of them can say why or how they got that way. I swear the Rooneys fly around the universe in a cube assimilating jackholes who think Allentown is where the Seahawks owner lives. The difference is Roethlisberger’s peeps are pretty easy to resist.
Nick’s Pick: SEAHAWKS (whose fans are Andorians because they (we/I) are 1. all blue and 2. kind of paranoid).
MNF: Dallas -10 @ Buffalo
I believe Q is controlling Romo because he can’t possibly be that good. Either way I’m betting on him. Dallas is so hot right now Jerry Jones is going to declare them The Milky Way’s Team. Gag. As for Buffalo, they should be wearing red shirts because theys be dead by the end of the show, yall. AHHHHHH IT’S A CLIFFORD KAY MIND CONTROL BEAM! HELP ME!!!!! I WANT TO DANCE WITH EMMITT SMITH. I WANT FOUR NEW TIRES! I WANT TO MAKE FAKE CROWD NOISE AT THE VILLAGE!!! WADE PHILLIPS IS A GENIUS!!! HAPPY TRAILS MR. HATCHER and Drew Bledsoe. T.O WINS A FREE DESSERT FROM THE KING’S DINER!

In coordination with the Run of the Rock marathon in Antone Larsen parts we have a pair of prerecorded interviews. The first is with Mr. Henry Rueden of Wisconsin who is a marathon running fanatic. The Kodiak race is close to his 41st marathon this year! He shares his accomplishments with Nick Sandin and is followed by Hans Metzler of Switzerland who came to Kodiak for a vacation and to participate in the first KMXT fund raising road race. The race starts at 8am Saturday so go cheer them on and be sure to catch the program at 12:30pm.
