Week Four College Football Top Ten


Here's hoping for a good solid win against Northern Iowa.

Here are my top ten after the third week of play. Iowa dropped out of the top ten because they were upset by Arizona. Oregon moves up to 9th and Wisconsin enters the picture at 10th.

1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Florida
4. Texas
5. Oklahoma
6. Boise State
7. Texas Christian
8. Nebraska
9. Oregon
10. Wisconsin

Iowa State plays Northern Iowa this weekend. Iowa State should handily win over the FCS school. But the Northern Iowa Panthers will definitely put up a good fight and the Cyclones can't overlook them otherwise they could lose to this very good team. And hopefully Iowa State will play better than they did in last week's loss to Kansas State. I'm predicting a 20+ point Cyclone victory.

As I mentioned earlier, the Iowa Hawkeyes were upset by Arizona and thus dropped out of my top ten. But this week they play Ball State and they aren't doing all that well. With the Hawkeyes looking for redemption; the Ball State Cardinals look to be the whipping post. I will predict a 30+ point blowout for the Hawkeyes.

The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are still at the bottom of my rankings after losing to Indiana last week. This week they play at South Florida. The South Florida Bulls are 1-1 so far this season after playing a good but losing game against a top ten Florida squad. I will predict that the Bulls will beat the Hilltoppers by a four touchdown margin.

Good luck to all the teams, except the Northern Iowa Panthers! Go Cyclones!

Twenty Years of Wedded Bliss (ok, sometimes it wasn't blissful...)

Image
On August 13, 1988 in West Bend, Iowa, two young idealistic people got married. Now, twenty years later, they have been through ups and downs, the births of five beautiful children, the grief of losing parents, dreams realized, and dreams not realized. Through it all they stayed together which sometimes was very hard but it all was worth it. Marriage isn't just about love; it is about commitment. When I see friends and family that have gotten divorced I feel very sad because they don't have the special bond that my wife and I have. Maybe they never had a bond like we have and that is the reason for the couple going separate ways. I pray for all couples, that they have the bond that true love and commitment gives them and that it will endure always.

Uncle Bob: Rest In Peace, Rise In Glory

Image
Bob Martin, July 15, 1939 - May 10, 2010 Uncle Bob died yesterday, he was a great guy who loved his family and the things he valued in life, namely fishing and nearly all organized sports. The first time I met him was when I was dating my lovely wife, we were at their house and he came in from a softball game, he looked at me and said, "Who are you?" I introduced myself and he then asked me if I wanted a Pepsi. I became friends with him and over the years went to various sports events with him as well as watching auto races, football and basketball games with him on the television. After he retired (he worked for Pepsi as a vending machine repairman) he started fishing. It was great to go out with him on his boat and catch a fish or two. More importantly, Uncle Bob became like a second dad to my wife after her father died. She was able to get to the hospital just before Bob passed away. My lovely wife is mourning but does know that he is in a better place and not in pa...
