So Ron English got fired because he's going to cause inflation?

No - don't you see? Ron English got fired because there's DE-flation up in Eastern Michigan. Now, the inflation is happening at in Northern Illinois. There might be some in northern Indiana and Buffalo, but we're not sure about that.

Now, in northeast Ohio, today, the predictions are that the economy is going to be practically frozen. It'll be 31 degrees at kickoff between 0-9 Miami and 2-8 Kent State. The 20 of us that will be in the stands will be treated to a tremendous exhibition of football worthy of the Lehman Brothers-Washington Mutual games of 5 years ago. I'm predicting a 2-0 victory by the Flashes, with that 2 points being a safety called by the MAC officials when the Miami quarterback trips over the 10 yard line with 3 minutes left in the game. The officials won't be looking forward to overtime either, and they'll find a way to break the tie.

They must have put a clause in the contract about that.

Going 6-0 last week takes Nick’s Picks to 77-16 (83%) for the season…and a season that is sadly going too fast.


Nick’s Pick: BGSU 27 – Ohio 21
Actual: BGSU 49 – Ohio 0
I noted that this late in the year you can never fully predict the “want to” of a team that is falling out of contention; we see that in Ohio as they rolled over early against the Falcons

Nick’s Pick: Toledo 28 – Buffalo 26
Actual: Toledo 51 – Buffalo 41
Strange game, Rockets lead 38-0 early in the 3rd quarter before UB goes on a 41-13 run; I did not see this game being that high scoring

Nick’s Pick: Kent State 23 – Miami 13
Actual: Kent State 24 – Miami 6
Went nearly as predicted

Nick’s Pick: NIU 38 – Ball State 37
Actual: NIU 48 – Ball State 27
This game was 27-27 at the 6-minute mark of the 4th period; final score doesn’t show just how close the game was and both QBs looked very good

Nick’s Pick: Central 36 – Western 28
Actual: Central 27 – Western 22
Went nearly as predicted

Nick’s Pick: Akron 24 – UMass 20
Actual: Akron 14 – UMass 13
Went nearly as predicted

Doubt anyone could have predicted the particulars of that game.

Or, not fast enough.
