Your weekly Saturday guide (Oct. 4)
Here is your weekly suggestion guide on how to spend Saturday if you’re not going to an
11 a.m. - Penn State at Purdue (ESPN): Find out if the Nittany Lions are for real, sort of. We’re issuing an upset alert.
11 - Duke at Georgia Tech (ESPNU): In case you haven’t noticed, two ACC basketball schools have improved in football – Duke and Wake Forest.
11 - Iowa at Michigan State (ESPN2): If the Spartans can stay away from choking and Javon Ringer stays healthy, a Big Ten title might await.
11:30 - Oklahoma at Baylor (FSN): The nation’s new No. 1 team tries to up its series record against Baylor to 18-0. The Sooners will succeed by halftime.
11:30 - Florida at Arkansas (KSPI-52): Florida is angry after a loss and the Razorbacks might not win again this season. Ug-ly.
11:30 - Kansas at Iowa State (Versus): If Iowa State can defend the pass, the Cyclones have a chance. The Jayhawks are 94th nationally in rushing offense.
1:30 p.m. - Stanford at Notre Dame (KFOR-4): Irish are coming off big victory against Purdue. Stanford is a surprising 3-2, but stinks.
2:30 - Illinois at Michigan (ESPN2): Wolverines fought back from 19-0 to beat Wisconsin last week, which figures to carry over for a victory against the Illini.
2:30 - Texas Tech at Kansas State (KOCO-5): The nation’s most overrated team hits the road for a conference opener in front of angry KSU fans.
2:30 - Kentucky at Alabama (KWTV-9): Crimson Tide rolled over Georgia on the road last week, now gets to host the unbeaten Wildcats, who are beefy up front.
3 - Navy at Air Force (Versus): Reader Randy Upshaw suggests we check out AFA senior defensive end Ryan Kemp (No. 91) from Mannford. Upshaw was Kemp’s high school basketball coach and simply wanted to acknowledge a special Oklahoman.
5 - Auburn at Vanderbilt (ESPN): How many games can Auburn win with its anemic offense? Here is our upset special of the week.
6 - Texas A&M at Oklahoma State (KXXY-FM 96.1): No television, again. If you want to see the Cowboys, you’ll have to buy a ticket. This one should be, and will be, a rout.
6 - Maryland at Virginia (ESPNU): The Cavaliers are by far the worst team in the ACC, and that’s saying something. The turtles win big.
6 - Texas at Colorado (FSN): Last season, one week before the OU-Texas showdown, the Sooners went to Colorado and lost. Could the Longhorns pull the same stunt?
6 - UConn at North Carolina (ESPN2): It’s getting to the point where UConn football is on TV as often as UConn basketball. This one could be a doozy.
6:30 - Washington at Arizona (Versus): This one is a must-win for Arizona coach Mike Stoops. You can’t lose to a team this bad when your job is on the line.
7 - Oregon at USC (KOCO-5): A team from Oregon knocked USC from the No. 1 spot last week. This team from Oregon will suffer the consequences.
7 - Rice at Tulsa (KRMG-AM 740): No television, again. The Golden Hurricane is for real. TU’s new stadium scoreboard should light up during this one.
8 - Missouri at Nebraska (ESPN); The last time Missouri won in Lincoln was 1978. That dry spell comes to a screeching halt tonight. Tigers win big.
For baseball fans:
5:30 - Philadelphia at Milwaukee (TBS): Brewers couldn’t win a World Series in the American League, maybe they can in the National League.
9 - Chicago Cubs at Los Angeles (TBS): Heading into the playoffs, the all-time series between these two historic franchises was tied 1,012-1,012. Amazing.
