Gerry Sandusky
Ravens Announcers

First off, your name could be Gerry Sandusky.   The Gerry Sandusky that is the radio announcer for the Baltimore Ravens.   How would you like to say, “No not the Pedophile from Penn State,” every time you get introduced to someone new.

You could be Mike Markuson, Offensive line coach at Wisconsin that was fired after only two games.  Last year’s Big Ten Champions Wisconsin Badgers were held to 35 yards of rushing and 207 total yards by the Oregon State Beavers last week, and lost 10-7.

You could be one of the many teams upset in College Football last week.   Upsets: LA-Monroe 34, over (8) Arkansas 31; Oregon State 10 over (13) Wisconsin 7; (22) UCLA 36 over (16) Nebraska 30; (24) Arizona over (18) Oklahoma State 38, 59; Utah State 27 over Utah 20.

You could be the ACC.   This week Notre Dame agreed to commit or get engaged with the Atlantic Coast Conference for all sports except for football.  Make no mistake this indicates a major move of Notre Dame to get associated with a relevant football conference if the need ever arise   "I think it says a lot a program like Notre Dame to want to come and I'm sure they could have their pick of conferences and for them to choose the ACC I think is a great thing," said Clemson's Dabo Swinney. "They're making a commitment to play five conference games even though they won't be a football member right now. For them to make that commitment I think that's very strong. It's exciting, it further secures this conference's strength of schedule and moving forward as we get into the playoff scenarios."

That schedule will provide the Irish the flexibility to continue its traditional games against Big Ten opponents Purdue, Michigan and Michigan State along with their annual series with Navy and Southern California if it chooses. However, the school also plays regular games against Boston College and Stanford, meaning there likely will be some major modifications.

We have monitored the changing conference landscape for many months and have concluded that moving to the ACC is the best course of action for us," Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick said in a statement. "We are able to maintain our historic independence in football, join in the ACC's non-BCS bowl package, and provide a new and extremely competitive home for our other sports."  Translation:  See Ya Big East, I’m going to get engaged with The ACC and sleep around until I absolutely have to share everything I own – including a large television contract. 

 

 

You could be an Iowa Fan: I guess you could call this game an upset last weekend, at least by Vegas standards.   Iowa State Cyclones 9, Iowa Hawkeyes 6.   How does it feel to be upstaged in the so called Hawkeye State? 

Suck It...Iowa Fan. 

 

Your Team name could be the Western Illinois Leathernecks.    Last week: The LeatherNecks had four interceptions on Saturday, two by Martinez Davis who returned one for a touchdown, as the Leathernecks improved to 2-0 following a 27-17 victory over Indianapolis on Saturday (Sept. 8) at Hanson Field.  The WUI secondary, has been hit hard by injuries.  Three defensive backs - Chris Boone, Tyler West and Keith Enderlein, all three, fifth year seniors will be out for the season. Boone and West have suffered knee injuries, while Enderlein, who had an interception against Butler, has suffered the third concussion on his career. This should open up the ability for Iowa State to move the ball against the LeatherNecks.   

Iowa State was an underdog the first two weeks against Tulsa and Iowa but not so fast my friends that won’t be the case this week against the Western Illinois Leathernecks.  In the last two years Iowa State has been an underdog 13 times and has come up 7-6 as an underdog.   The good news is when Iowa State is favored they typically take care of business.   I expect Iowa State to spread the playing time around among many players on the first and second teams.  Iowa State 41-14.

 

Finally your name could be Brian Netten, but you could look like Barry Manilow and sing like that Wong Kid from American Idol.
