The Amazing Black Karnak of the MEAC presents…. 

Week 10

Football Predictions for October 29, 2005

Howard at Norfolk State – Howard should win this game BUT, Howard lost to Morgan. The Spartans are itching for a conference win but they only have 3 conference games left to do it: Howard, Morgan, DelState.  They better do it in one of the first two games.  Will the Bison let them scratch that annoying itch?  I doubt it.  The Bison will pull a few tricks out of their sleeve to pull this one off and not get embarrassed.  Nice thing to say about the Spartans:  Hang in there, Karnak sees a win in your future (it might be next year, but it’s coming).

Delaware State at SCST – It’s the Dawgs homecoming and they are still foaming at the mouth from last week’s lost.  But the Hornets already know what it’s like to ruin a homecoming and they are looking to do the same this week.  Expect a good game, but the dawgs have already been stung once in the conference this year.  Don’t expect it to happen again.  Beware of the dog.  Nice thing to say about the Hornets:  This may be the last time every team schedules you for their homecoming.

FAMU at Morgan – The Rattlers are sitting on two conference losses but that has not deterred them from striving for the ’05 MEAC Championship.  Standing in their way are the mighty (but ineffective) Morgan Bears.  So after this win, will FAMU faithful really start believing they can do it?  Probably so.  But it ain’t gonna happen (the Championship).  Nice thing to say about the Bears: Everything is going to be okay (once you revamp your entire offense and defense).

BCC at NCAT – Those Florida teams are hard to predict.  BCC plays SCST tough one week, almost loses to NSU another week, whips up on Morgan, and then gets shut up by DSU.  What’s going on down there in Mary-(BCC)-Land?  I don’t know, but the Aggies are about to find out the hard way.  The Aggies don’t have any impressive wins this year.  Look to be unimpressed again.  Nice thing to say about the Aggies:  Nice scoreboard.

SWAC

Texas Southern at Grambling – Tiger fight.  I wonder if they have the same problem as Hampton-Howard, “The Real HU”.  Who is “The Real Tiger” of the SWAC? At 1-5, Tex Southern has already won their quota of games this year.  Grambling’s only loss is to a D-IA school.  I’m predicting Grambling to win the SWAC title this year and the “Tiger Title” this game.

CIAA

NC Central at JC Smith – JC Smith hasn’t won a game since mid-2003.  2-8 in 2002, 1-9 in 2003, 0-10 in 2004, and so far 0-9 in 2005.  Sad that this is the last game of the season and some of their 4th year players leave their college careers with 3 wins total.  What do you tell your grandchildren?  JC Smith should try to schedule Cheyney in the future.

SIAC

Morehouse at Albany St – Poor little Morehouse on the prairie. The Golden Rams are going to ram their golden rams right up the Tiger’s alley.  It’s not going to be pretty, but I hear those House boys like that kind of thing.  They’re used to it (losing, that is).

East Stroudsburg Warriors at Cheyney – Cheyney should consider playing local high schools.  I looked up the records and Cheyney has played the East Stroudsburg Warriors every year since 1960.  Cheyney won once.  One time.  1979. 7-3.  Coincidently, that is the same year the movie “The Warriors” came out.  I guess we know where their football team was during that game – making the movie.  The Warriors won’t back down from this fight.  Look for the Warriors to come out and playeeeyaaay.  Can you dig it?

Okay, okay – you’re looking for jokes, right?  Here are a few funny (actual) sports quotes to hold you over for the week:

• Chicago Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson on  being a role model: "I want all the kids to do what I do, to look up to me. I  want all the kids to copulate me."
  

• New Orleans Saint RB George Rogers when asked about the upcoming season: "I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first."
  

• And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skins say:
  "I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl,"   Matt Millen of the Raiders said: "To win, I'd run over Joe's Mom, too."
  

• Football commentator and former player Joe Theismann 1996: "Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."
  

• Senior basketball player at the University of Pittsburgh: "I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes."
  

• Bill Peterson, a Florida State football coach: "You guys line up alphabetically by height." And "You guys pair up in groups of three, then line up in a circle."

• Chuck Nevitt, North Carolina State basketball player, explaining to Coach Jim Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice: "My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt."
  

• Jim Finks, New Orleans Saints General Manager, when asked after a loss what he thought of the  refs: "I'm not allowed to comment on lousy, no good officiating."
  

• Alan Kulwicki, stock car racer, on racing Saturday nights as opposed to Sunday afternoons: "It's basically the same, just darker."
  

• Lincoln Kennedy, Oakland Raiders tackle, on his decision not to vote: "I was going to write myself in, but I was afraid I'd get shot.

• Shaquille O'Neal, on his lack of championships: "I've won at every level, except college and pro."
