Say a little prayer today--and soon--for the University of Kansas tackle football team. The "Sunflowers," the worst team in the U.S., play the Baylor "Rapists," one of the best. The "Rapists" are favored by 44 points. The headline in ESPN last night was, "Can Baylor Score 100 Against Kansas?" One sportswriter's prediction was 70-3 so Baylor can score 100. Hope they don't, really hope they don't.

Illinoise plays at Iowa. Illinoise came back to beat fauxpelini's "Cornshuckers" last week. They're 4-1, Iowa is 5-0 and ranked 22nd best in the US&A. Think Illinoise is going to cover the 11 point spread. Go Hawks.

Oklahoma, 4-0, ranked 10th, plays at Texas, 1-4. Go 'Horns, and goodluck.

Navy plays at the University of Notre Dame du Lac. Glorious series. They've played every year since World War II because Navy stuck by Notre Dame when other schools wouldn't play them. Notre Dame has never forgotten. Navy's undefeated, ND is 4-1 and ranked 15th. Navy's got a good coach, Notre Dame's got a great coach. No losers ever in this game.

Florida, 5-0, #11, and coming off a murder of Old Mississippi, play at Missouri. Florida's got a very good coach, is in his first year and is exceeding expectations. Go "Alligators."

The "Convicts," 3-1 play at the 12th ranked "Criminoles," 4-0. No winners ever in this game.

In other crime news, Michigan State plays at Ruptures. Go Spartans; Indiana plays at Pennsylvania Showers. Go Hoosiers. The Showers play eight of their twelve games this season at home in the Shower Stall. They just can't help but cheat.

In the Beijing time zone #23 California plays #5 Utah. Games that come on at 3 a.m. Normal People Time have no business counting.
