    Thank you for the compliment, but I think you give me too much credit. Anything I predict correctly is more along the "blind squirrel" analogy. :)

    That press box is your backrest and hopefully downwind. We knew that gold and purple soda cracker box was good for something :)
    Does anyone have any leftover napalm that could be used when the season is over? I did notice that there is an escape hatch on the far side now- otherwise that place was a trap.

    No worries, I thought you were playing off the face off between the players of the week - Augie LB vs. MSU QB. Should be a great game!

    I always look forward to Tundra Man's take on games. He is uncanny with his predictions.

    If JD Ekowa is on both his arm and legs could be a deadly combination as MSU easily leads the conference in rushing yards. QB Nick Bohn for Wayne St. ran for 79 yards against the Viking defense in doing so he avoided getting sacked and ran for positive yards, Mavs defense is stingy and tied with AU giving up a paltry 19.1 points a game. With natural grass field and a rowdy crowd it can become an intimidating place to play at Blakeslee stadium.

    MSU has been a heartbreaking team for Augie to play having been 10 seasons since the last Viking victory. Some of the losses have been close. AU comes with a stingy defense and a highly productive offense with a balanced attack between running and passing. QB Kyle Saddler has played well in most of games and throws an accurate deep ball to a plethora of good wide receivers. Jarod Epperson is the best of a deep backfield. If the weather allows I see this as a high scoring game with hopefully a Viking victory from my point of view.
