This video will take a few minutes to view, but I believe it will leave you smiling in happy amazement. You will need to turn your sound on.
That was a meeting of the readers of FourStarFootball celebrating the incredible, victorious weekend we are about to have.
Two Gun and I held a dedicated brainstorming session this week after a consultation/intervention with our sports psychologist, noted head cracker Dr. Ima Tampanita. The first step toward recovery is admitting that one has a problem. In our case, the guilder deficit was proof enough that we had issues within the collective cabesa. So, with due deference to Hermes and our shrink, we are embarking on Week 11, fearlessly flinging florins at the following.
There'll be time enough for counting, when the day is done.
Memphis @ UAB -20 ****
Saturday, 3:00 p.m.
This is a foray into the world of Conference USA. Two Gun was a virtual fountain of enthusiasm, a burbling brook of euphemisms, gleefully crying out that he had isolated the rock solid, lock and load, surefire selection of the weekend. Breathe-for-me-Elvis Memphis is among the least likely teams to strike fear in an opponent's heart. They are lugging around a 1-9 record and they have lost 8 in a row, soon to be 9. The University of Alabama-Birmingham, on the other hand, is brimming with great expectations, though they are a modest 3-7 themselves. It is UAB's final home game of the season, and they will be at least three TD's less sucky than their guests.
NIU -14 1/2 @ Ball State ***
Saturday, 11:00 a.m.
The Huskies have won seven consecutive games. Ball State has won its last two. NIU is in first place in its division of the MAC, and at season's end they will be going bowling, most likely to the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl up in Foreclosure City. Ball State will be going nowhere. NIU crushed Toledo 65-30 last week, and their offensive prowess will carry the day on Saturday in Muncie.
Ohio State -3 @ Iowa **
Saturday, 2:30 p.m.
If it looks too good to be true, it frequently is. This one, with just 3 points separating OSU and Io_a from the books' perspective, is not going to be one of those situations. OSU by 9. Io_a is good. Just not good enough.
Arkansas State @ Navy OVER 63 1/2 *
Saturday, 2:30 p.m.
Both of these teams have consistently put up (as well as allowed) lots of points. Past is prologue. Anchors aweigh.

How suiting to invoke "The Messiah" and as it goes "you got to know when to fold em", hence the intervention.
We've started off well with a secret Tampanita play of Boise on Friday. I hope you can handle watching the Cats at Wiggley- at least we won't have to worry about anyone crashing into the beautiful ivy walls.
Happy Saturday from Sunny Westchase
