Ooooooh...do I get to be first today?
1. What will be the final score of the Mizzou/Colorado game in Columbia?
I think I said something like 45-17….I’ll stick with that though it does strike me as a little high, but so did 55-10, so I guess this is OK.
2. What record will Colorado finish with in 2008 and what bowl (if necessary) will they be invited to?
Pretty sure I worked them out to 6-6…which still seems odd to me because I think they will be a little better than last year, where they went 6-6. But that schedule is just a killer with so many swing games.
3. How much passing yardage will Cody Hawkins throw for?
Not real impressed with Nolte Jr. I think he gets some garbage time to push him over 200 yards, but I will cap him at 224.
4. Where do you rank Dan Hawkins among Big 12 North coaches?
Tough call…I put Prince at the bottom…Gundy is down there…too soon on Briles and Sherman, I suppose in the end he is probably middle towards the lower half, especially if Chizik can get something done at ISU.
5. Is the Colorado game Mizzou’s marquee date at Faurot this year?
No…I think the way MU fans work, the kSU game will be seen that way, even though it is likely to be the least competitive of the 3.

I get the silver medal...
1. I’m sticking with something like 31-17 Mizzou. When a team is humbled like CU was against us last year, they tend to show up pretty well the next time around.
2. 6-6 sounds good. They split their four tossup games, and they spring an upset.
3. 191.
4. Gundy didn’t get outcoached by Ron Prince last year like Hawkins did. However, I do think the Hawk has some potential. So leaving the four newbies (Briles, Sherman, Chizik, Pelini) out of it, I’ll say #8 = Prince, #7 = Gundy, #6 = Hawkins.
5. SEMO, baby.

I Feel the Earth Move
1. If that cover one is working as well as it was last year, 4 touchdowns.
2. Wow that schedule sucks for them. That non conference reads like a Troy schedule. I have no idea. 5-7
3. 172 (the score John Henry got today at Joe Louis the Champ, Southside)
(Not really. He probably got something like a 135)
4. He certainly is quotable. But the systematic destruction at Folsom last year of his team showed a lot. Hes gotta be in the bottom half of any rankings.
5. I dont know yet. That depends on a couple of things. Is Deer season opening that morning? How nice is the weather? No games are popping out at me but since I have to give some sort of an answer, Nevada. Thats because I love flyovers.
