* Texas Tech +1 @ Houston
The Red Raiders of TXTech beat the NDakota Fighting Sioux (p.c. alert) and Rice before losing to the 'Horns last week. Houston beat Northwestern "we're not THAT Northwestern" State and OK State in weeks 1 and 2 and then had last weekend off. At +1 this is pretty much a straight bet 
on the visitors, who this week will eschew traditional football uniforms and instead outfit their team as itinerant Mexican gauchos, so as to create an aura of obfuscation in Houston, the fourth largest city in the US of A and home to more Fortune 500 companies than anyplace but NYC, also the home of overrated really crappy pizza.

The Indiana Hoosiers have raced out to a 3-0 record, rare air for the Lynch Mob. 
They've beaten Eastern Kentucky, Western Michigan and the neither Eastern nor Western Akron Zips. The once and future mighty Wolverines have returned to prominence in 2009, beating Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan and the University of Notre Dame du Indiana Toll Road. Sr Rodriguez will bid Bievenido a La Casa Grande del Futbol Americano, where 110,000 will bear witness this Saturday as the bubble bursts for Indiana. Bad news is that Michigan center David Molk from Lemont is out for six weeks and having surgery on a broken bone in one of his feet. Michigan 44, Indiana 9.

The eerie (woooo-ooo-ooo) Eastern Michigan commonality continues. ...EM was Be All That You Can Be Army's first week opponent, a 27-14 Army victory. The Cadets lost to Duke Duke Duke in Week 2 and then beat a bad Ball State bunch (famous alumnus: David "Will It Float" Letterman)last week. The Cyclones of Iowa State beat North Dakota State to start, got pummeled b
y state rival Iowa (who this week visits @-10 Joe Paterno & His Band of Renown) at home in Week 2, then beat Kent State last Golden Saturday. Iowa State is improving, is at home this week AND is going to win us some cash for a second consecutive week. Iowa State 31, Army 17.

Oh, those Bulls. They beat UTEP in Texas, got whacked by Wannie in the Steel City and then ran out of gas right on cue in Orlando. Why spend 4 stars on them? The friend of my friend is my friend, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The opponent of the Bulls is the reason this is the PPP, Pete's Perfect Pick, up there in the marquee glare with 4 stars. Temple has lost to Villanova and to Joe Paterno & the Union Gap. Two Gun's pronouncement, with which I concur, is that the wrong team is the favorite, and bestowing upon it the PPP designation is an endorsement of the highest order from my investment partner of lo these many years. They win and we're going to Sizzler.
By the way, Temple University is located in Philadelphia, has 32,600 students and had revenue last year of $1.2 billion. The first factoid is on the front page of their website, the second is in their student profile and the third eyebrow raising disclosure is in their tax return, which is published and linked to the school website. I'll have a (click) cherry lime rickey and a hard boiled egg.

PPP is Temple? Sounds like a winner. Funny thing is last week Chris Berman aka Boomer said to bet Temple because it was Rosh Hashanah. Wrong week- Im guessing Ill join you at Sizzler.
Let's not forget the most important I-wouldn't-bet-on-it-to-save-my-life-game of the week. Go Canes!
BTW- I checked UM's site and our humbly sized student body of ~15,000 has a budget of: "The budget for 2008-09 is $2.1 billion, with $1.4 billion projected for the medical campus. At the end of the FY 08 the endowment for the University was $736 million."
Happy Saturday from Cuba North
It's a fine Saturday (at least it was until I turned on NUCats, who are looking like the LegacyCats, mui malo), we've already booked one non-blogged winner: the under in last night's Mizzou v. Nevada. I'm rooting for lots of "O" today in Evanston: we are over 48.
Not-so-great to be a Miami Choker Hurricane. What a whoopin.
I must pardon my stupidity... I blogged before I was properly caffeinated yesterday. I "blundered" as my father would say and thought PPP was for Temple.. a thousand pardons. Two gun was none to happy when I excitedly shared the news that Temple won big. It was Yom Kippur after all.
Our off the blog bets gave us our own Rosh Hashonah. Temple? Who knew...
