Here is your weekly suggestion guide on how to spend Saturday if you’re not going to an Oklahoma, Oklahoma State or Tulsa home game:

11 a.m. – Northwestern at Iowa (ESPNCL): There are two unbeaten journalism schools in college football — Missouri and Northwestern. This game will be nothing to write about.

11 – Virginia at Duke (ESPNU): Yes, Virginia. There is a Duke, and you will lose to it.

11 – North Carolina at Miami (ESPN2): Tahlequah native and former Hurricanes coach Butch Davis returns to the place he never should have left. 11 – Michigan State at Indiana (ESPN): Conference play begins, and Spartans don’t want to start out with a choke.11:30 – Army at Texas A&M (Versus): This will have a 1940s feel to it. Plenty of short haircuts and pushups on both sides.           

11:30 – Mississippi at Florida (KSPI-52): Florida just moved one step closer to No. 1 with USC’s loss on Thursday night.

2:30 p.m. – Wisconsin at Michigan (ESPN): Two big names in the Big Ten, but they carry little national interest this season.

2:30 – Arkansas at Texas (KOCO-5): Razorbacks got a two-week reprieve thanks to Hurricane Ike, but nothing can save them today.

2:30 – Tennessee at Auburn (KWTV-9): Volunteers are strong candidates for the worst team in the SEC East.

2:30 – Purdue at Notre Dame (KFOR-4): Delusional Irish fans hopefully came back down to earth last week after getting spanked by the Spartans.

2:45 – Navy at Wake Forest (ESPNU): Wake continues to prove it’s the best team the ACC has to offer.

3 – Florida A&M at Tennessee State (Versus): Hey, Versus. This is no way to capture a national audience. Aim higher. Much higher.

6 – Troy at Oklahoma State (KXXY-FM 96.1): No television, again, for the Cowboys. This one could be a scoreboard scorcher.

6 – TCU at Oklahoma (FSN): Presumably, the Sooners saw what happened to USC against Oregon State. Presumably, they’ve been duly warned.

6 – Central Arkansas at Tulsa (KRMG-AM 740): No television, again, for Tulsa. Here is your Hurricane Warning: TU is very, very good.

6:30 – South Florida at North Carolina State (ESPNU): Wolfpack out to prove their win over East Carolina was no fluke, but it was.

6:30 – Mississippi State at LSU (ESPN2): No close call for the Tigers this time. They should bounce early and cruise.

6:45 – Alabama at Georgia (ESPN): You’ve got to love big games this early. The Bulldogs are the real deal, but is the Crimson Tide?

7 – Virginia Tech at Nebraska (KOCO-5): This would be a nice win for a Big 12 middle school. The Huskers should pull it off — maybe.

Major League baseball

2:30 - Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee (KOKH-25): Cubs are in. Here’s a toast to the Brewers.

John, there is a defensive end at the Air Force Academy that you need to do a story on. His name is Ryan Kemp from Mannford. I was Ryan’s basketball coach in high school. I am currently at Verdigris HS. There are many Oklahoma kids playing out of state but this one is special. Not that he has done anything extraordinary. Just someone we can all be proud of. AF play Navy Saturday. He number 91. The game is on Versus network. Thanks.
