Week Seven Picks

Each week Nathan Ware from the Seattle PI's Dawg Blawg and I make our Pac Ten picks. This week Nathan is spicing things up by giving a T-shirt to the winner who does the best job picking on his blog.

The winner will get a t-shirt from the Gohuskies.com website (or the website of your team if you're a fan of another team). You'll be able to choose the one you want. You must be a registered user with the P-I to submit picks in the contest. If you aren't a registered P-I user, it takes about 60 seconds to sign up. If you want to make picks and remain an unregistered user, no problem, you just won't be eligible to receive the t-shirt. The only reason that I'm requiring people to sign up is that I can't validate the identity of the person making the picks if you aren't registered. Like I said, it takes 60 seconds to sign up………Good luck, everybody!

Nathan Ware's Picks

Stanford 24, UCLA 23
California 30, Arizona 27
USC 70, WSU 9
Oregon State 42, UW 17

Johnny B's Picks

Picks from Tenino

I saw a lot of fight in the Bruins last week when they were at Oregon. They’re tired of losing UCLA 28 Trees 24

The coogs will whine about $C running it up when $C’s walkon/5th string TB runs for a TD late in the 4th Q. $C 56 coogs 3

The Beavs smack around or clown stomp, which ever you prefer, the Tyrone Winningless Huskies
OSU 49 UW 14. The Dawgs will get their usual TD per half.

Cal will edge Arizona 35 to 31.

Hmmm...

Stanford always gets way up for the LA schools. I have to go with the Tree.

I think Carroll is going to try to rest a lot of players this week.

The Husky stadium advantage will keep this one under 50.

I think Cal will stomp Arizona.

i have no idea where you guys who make predictions all seem to think we score 17 points on saturday.

our oline is bad and just got worse with bulyca’s injury, fouch will be attacked like a piece of raw meat thrown to wolves, our running game has occasional spurts of 8-10 yards and our receivers are too young and poorly coached to get consistent separation. our kicking game is unreliable at best. unless we get another one of those lucky bomb TD passes again, we will be lucky to score more than 10 points.

oregon state’s balanced attack and physical enthusiasm will absolutely maul the dawgs on saturday and since OSU is still in the hunt for a pac-10 title, they will absolutely, positively be looking to score some style points.

i say 52-10 for the beevs.

Meek

It could be because we are averaging a whopping 18.6 points per game this season.

with jake though and again, with the occasional “lucky catch”. it is my belief that our offensive production is trending down… bulyca’s status and the injuries to the running backs will further prove this.

Husky Digest says TY is out as of 01/01/09

Per Huskydigest.com

“Very reliable sources that must remain anonymous have informed Husky Digest that the entire UW football coaching staff has been dismissed and that they will not be coaching for the University of Washington as of January 1st 2009. These sources are in close contact with the family of a member of the coaching staff and are very credible. This report has not been officially confirmed by anyone on the UW staff, but we feel that these accounts are accurate and it is our opinion that this action has taken place. Husky Digest does not cover football normally, but this piece of information is so important to Husky fans that we feel it is right to report it.”
