Thoughts and Picks, Week 12 (or whatever it is)

No.  Hillman is fine as far as I know.  The injury that will hurt them is LB Logan Ketchum.  He is their top tackler.  The Aztecs lost him for the season last week when he tore his pectoral muscle.  Boise is a little banged up too.  I don't know how with the schedule they play, but they are.

The only thing that scares me a bit is that with the Southern Miss' debacle last night against UAB, Boise may be back in the hunt for a BCS bowl.  That may put a little extra pep in their step.  I still think the Aztecs make a game out of this however.

Rocky Long is calling it a game-time decison on Hillman, who hasn't practiced all week.  I think he'll play, but he might be one good hit away from spectating.  That wouldn't be good for business.

WOW!!!  First I've heard of it.  He didn't show up on any of the injury reports I've seen.  High ankle sprain is not good at all.

Thanks for the heads up MR!!!

You may well be right, and their QB blows (as always).  I actually have this at a more favorable number (and bought up to an even more favorable number), so perhaps I'll look for a little middle here.  Stanford doesn't impress me athletically.  I love their schemes.  I love that they don't beat themselves.  I love the QB.  Still, when I look at the athletes Cal brings to the table, and that they're catching the Tree in a nice revenge spot (I'm not a big "revenge" guy, but those two teams/schools don't like one another ), and off of seeing their national title dreams dashed, I think it's a good spot for the Sturdy Bears.  It will probably be 49-17, and SU will never punt, but that's why they call it gambling. 

I'm always there for you, Jimmy.

5-2 - a few yards away from 6-1.

Like this week's card too.  I'll see if I can find time to post something.
