Doing a College Football Pick 'em that a buddy of my brother's is running up thar in Ohio. I've become a huge fan of this particular pick 'em, due to the obscure nature of some of the games. how many of your pick 'ems have had Grambling or Ohio Northern in them?
Anyway, I'll post my submission each week, and Brandt can make fun of my selections.

Subject: Dan Isaacs's Week 3 Picks
Week 3 Schedule
>Hawaii @ USC,
The team with the condom as a mascot.
> Boise St. @ Idaho,
A firerce intra-state rivaly. Boise St. Rolls.
>Illinois @ UCLA,
Big Ten continues decline. UCLA big.
>Indiana St. @ Indiana,
Indiana finally wins. Both teams are 1-9 in the last ten games. But if
IU doesn't win this one, they should be banned to the MAC.
>Iowa @ Iowa St.,
Iowa. And all of a sudden, I'm hungry for some sweet corn and potato
salad.
>Louisville @ Syracuse,
Syracuse wins this preview of the 2006 Big East Title Game.
>Toledo @ Marshall (Friday),
Marshall's dirty program beats Toledo's dirty program. But both teams
would fare better in the Big Ten than IU/PSU.
>Notre Dame @ Michigan,
scUM. Though either team losing brings joy to my life.
>Penn St. @ Nebraska,
Nebraska. Speaking of teams that need banished to the MAC...
>NC State @ Ohio St.,
The Ohio State University. This week is your last chance to say "Philip
Rivers, Heisman Candidate" with a straight face.
>South Carolina @ Georgia,
Georgia. Lou Holtz told me SC didn't have a chance.
>Mississippi St. @ Tulane,
Miss. St., unless Shaun King has a little brother playing for Tulane.
>Washington St. @ Colorado,
WSU. There is no Touchdown Jesus in COL.
>Arkansas @ Texas,
Universidad de Tejas
>Ohio Northern @ Dayton.
Dayton. Any school with students who think a road trip to Findlay is the
highlight of their weekend doesn't deserve to win football games.
Yeah, Rivers was awesome. He runs that offense to perfection. The lack of holding calls on his OL and the quick throws kept him off the grass for the most part. He was still forced into some bad throws, forced to fumble, and only moved the ball against a prevent defense with help from officials (7 First downs via penalty).
It's too bad Chris Perry doesn't get touched until the CB tries to tackle him. He's the person most likely to steal River's Heisman (which he deserved last year).
And While I lost Texas, I'm perfect in the non 1-A games this year. :)
