War Against Wife Day
I dont get this Wife Day crap. Come on people. We only get 12-13 CFB Saturdays a year. Dont y'all do enough on the other three dozen Saturdays and the rest of the year where you dont need to ignore one of the rare full days of college football we get during the year?
So, strike a blow against Wife Day. Join me in my War Against Wife Day and watch as much college football tomorrow as possible. Its truly the patriotic thing to do. And, while you're at it, maybe gamble on a game or two. Speaking of which, here's a link to my Big 10 picks over at the JCB. Check it out.
But who do you like tomorrow in league play against these spreads:
Minny at Iowa, Iowa -7
PSU at Illinois, PSU -1
IU at NW, NW -11.5
OSU at MSU, MSU -3
Wisco at Brasker, Brasker -11.5
Who you got in these or any other games this weekend.

Minny, PSU, NW, OSU, Brasker

Nebraska is not that good, I can't believe they're a 2 score favorite.
Minny, Illinois, NW, MSU, Wisco.

Wisconsin is just that bad? Only thought I can come up with.

But you'll surely lose the war. Strategery is called for. Acquiesce to Wife Day so that you may enjoy your other CFB Saturdays in peace (says the guy whose wife is out of town on Wife Day).

So, is it "Girlfriend Day" where you go to her $300/mo. apartment and watch football on her couch all day and drink beer while she pretends "life is perfect" for a few hours before you have to go home?
September 28th, 2012 at 10:36 PM ^
That's her "boyfriend day."

I was in South Bend last weekend. I was there man... in the thick of it. It was horrible.
I need a break from college football. Just for a couple hours. Not including the fourth quarter of the Stanford-Washington game last night. And not including Ohio v. Sparty. Or the late games. So, just the noon games. But other than that... I need a break.
Iowa covers and Minnesota starts its quest for 6-6.
Penn State wins 6-3. Both teams will finish below .500.
IU covers but loses. NW will be in the Gator Bowl at 8-4.
Ohio State wins because I want them to.
Wisconsin covers but loses. Nebraska will win the Big 10 (If MIchigan loses in Lincoln)
September 28th, 2012 at 5:19 PM ^
I find it hard to believe that Iowa is favored against anyone, Minnesota or no Minnesota.
Minnesota, Illinois, NW, OSU, Nebraska

I think OSU will beat MSU. OSU's offense is at its best when someone runs right at it, and I think the Buckeye offense is better than it has looked at times. Miller is a hard guy to stop when OSU puts him in the right position, which they do whenever they really need a first down. I say it will be OSU 27, MSU 16.

I love Wisconsin getting that many points, even on the road/at night. Minn +7 seems generous as well.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:56 PM ^
There's no way Wisconsin covers that spread. They can't even score
September 29th, 2012 at 7:06 PM ^
Let's bet C-Tron, you can pay me in a couple weeks.

Jamie, for those of us without gambling problems, the other games just don't have the same appeal as Michigan.

Well done.

Oh Drill, you know me so well.

I have a perfect football wife, we both watch football all day Saturdays, but thanks to the blog she now knows about "Wife Day". We'll have to go do something together for a few hours tomorrow till the state game comes on.
September 28th, 2012 at 5:48 PM ^
Your wife must be nicer than mine.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:19 PM ^
Not only did my girl agree to go to Oktoberfest with me for the past week, she split the costs with me, let my friends crash on the couch in our room, didn`t get pissed when I drank too much AND managed to scare off a burglar that broke into our room before he took ANYTHING. That is why we need to take the time to realize that taking that extra weekend off to spend some extra time with our ladies is not a big deal. I love the stuff from Jamie, but I have to respectfully disagree this time. Although my situation is different and highly unusual, tomorrow will be wife day from 12am to 11:59pm.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:23 PM ^
That's not what I meant. I'm assuming your "girl" is not your wife, therefore is still nice to you. Wait until you're married and see how many times she's down with your drunken buddies crashing on your couch.
That said, your weekend sounded awesome.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:38 PM ^
Second wife, actually. Just because one experience is bad, donät get down. My first wife was a grade-A hobgoblin after the wedding day. It happens and all we can do is pick up our stuff and do it again.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:54 PM ^
You must have had a pretty good lawyer. The contrary argument is why most of us are living Wife Day tomorrow.

mgoblog tradition--if sorta old school and suburban in a loopy way to begin with--and that we should perpetuate it.

been able to correctly parse your user name...and now I can't even read it at all. I say it as either M Go Bulls, M Glo Worms, M Globs Rule, and once M Go Boobles. I don't even know anymore. I just don't.

MSU is too one-dimensional and will have a hard time with OSU's DL. I don't think they'll be able to exploit OSU's leaky back 7. Miller should be able to make just enough plays to eke out a win.
I think Wisconsin can stay within 7-10 of Nebraska.
For a non-B1G game I like Colorado getting 20 at home against UCLA. Colorado sucks, but they put it together at the end at WSU and should be up after getting an unexpected win on the road. I don't think UCLA will put them away until late.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:54 PM ^
I'm playing Minny +7 and OSU +2.5. I like your PSU play though, may steal that one
September 28th, 2012 at 8:14 PM ^
about Wife Day. WTF.

I have brunch tomorrow morning. Brunch! I cannot cancel this commitment, even for the heated Minny-Iowa and IU-NW showdowns.

Iowa -7 smells; run to the smell and take the Hawkeyes.
PSU -1? PSU.
IU/NW pass
OSU/MSU pass
Take the 11-1/2 and Wisky. Wisconsin has a better defense, so they can keep it close enough.
