The West Virginia Mountaineers Kindly Request A "Gold Rush"

"The WVU-Colorado football game on Thursday, October 1, is a 'Gold Rush'. Fans are encouraged to wear gold for the nationally-televised matchup with the Buffaloes."

Going to the West Virginia-Colorado game Thursday night? Well, you are in luck! You'll have a great seat for the Buffalo Beat-down, with this extra-added bonus: all in attendance will don their finest yellow jerseys and pants (including our student athletes on the field). The occasion? A team-requested "Gold Rush." There's nothing quite like a sea of yellow-clad rednecks, singing country roads, and witnessing the destruction of the Dan Hawkins Era in Boulder.

For those of us watching at home in stunning high-definition quality, please do not adjust the contrast on your television sets, our uniforms really do look like this.

Speaking of those watching at home, I'll be chasing my Prozac with Maker's Mark while locked in my apartment in isolation. Can I get a "The-Ref-Beats-His-Wife-Chant" in my absence? I didn't think so. Now, on to my picks of the week:

East Carolina (-2.5) at MARSHALL
Toledo (-5.0) at BALL STATE
STANFORD (-5.5) vs U.Cal.L.A.
Penn State (-7.0) at a very bad ILLINOIS
ARKANSAS (-2.0) vs Texas A&M

"Road Dogg" of the Week:
Louisiana State (+3.0) at GEORGIA

...and, although I should know better...

WVU (-17.5) vs Colorado

...Lord help my liver if they don't...
