The reality of the last week's prediction is that my method of picking the ISU vs. Weber game was only a little faulty. As the first quarter ended, I was looking like a genius. Oh well. You all know that I throw out logic and come up with a twisted way of picking this week's game winner. Let's see how we do this week.
Central Washington University Wildcats...
1. The Wildcats are coached by Blaine Bennett who graduated from Whitworth in Spokane. My kid brother, Jenna Brown's dad, played as a defensive back for the Whitworth Pirates. Many of you know that Jenna completed 4 years of women's basketball this past spring. Anyway, he made the all conference team for all three years (he spent his freshman year at the College of Idaho in Caldwell - they disbanded their football program at the end of that year). That was a loooooong time ago. ISU thought that he was too small and didn't offer a scholarship. Advantage: CWU
2. I've been to Ellensburg. I've been to Pocatello. 'Nuff said. Advantage: ISU
3. The CWU Wildcats are 4-0 so far this year. They've played two games at home and two away. They've won big at home and squeaked by on their away games. ISU has played 3 games this year and we know they are 0-3. The first two games were no surprise. Last week at Weber ISU took a huge step forward. They haven't played a home game yet. This week's the week. Advantage: ISU
4. The Wildcat logo is suspiciously similar to Washington State's logo. Yuck. I like the Bengal logo a whole lot. Advantage: ISU
5. Earlier today, off the beaten path, I stopped at the spud museum in Blackfoot and had my picture taken by the giant spud. We all know that Blackfoot is 20 minutes or so from Pocatello. Maybe this is a stretch. I admit. But, I don't remember seeing a giant spud, wheat or apple museum in my travels around Ellensburg. I'm an east Idaho spud. Advantage: ISU
The scorecard shows ISU 4-1. Now, with my Idaho Falls math, factoring and rounding skills, here's my prediction... ISU finds their groove this week... ISU 34, CWU 17.
Let's hear your thoughts...
