The Atlanta Fixer's WEEK 15 Plays

WEEK 15

OKLAHOMA ST +21 @ Oklahoma- For some reason, the Pokes want to call this a rivalry. But they’ve lost 83 of the 108 games and have been outscored by 1,200 points. OU calls Texas their rival, and consider the peeps in Stillwater their inbred cousins… which is oddly, pretty factual…

NORTHERN ILLINOIS -6½ vs Bowling Green- The winner of this game has their choice of bowling in either Mobile, Montgomery or Boise. So there’s a lot at stake. Imagine being able to drink underage and buy Ectasy on Dauphin Street, or darting to The Alley for a luke-warm draft while your car is repeatedly broken into. Or dealing with sub-freezing temps while watching a game on an oddly colored surface that give you seizures… MACTION!!!

TEMPLE -3 @ Tulane- I was in New Orleans most of this week, and not one time did I hear anyone mention the Green Wave. In fact, only a couple of people even knew that they have a new on campus stadium. But I was talking to afternoon drunks in seedy uptown dive bars at 3pm in the afternoon… Well, wherever they play, they’ll get smeared by the Owls. Give a Hoot, read a book!

SMU +12 @ UConn- The Mustangs have a new coach but have to finish out the season freezing their balls off in Stoors playing a team that will need a new coach eventually. You’ll be able to count the people in the stadium with a toddler’s abacus made of gum drops…

CINCINNATI -7 vs Houston- This is the Bearcats program: Play the majority of your games during the week in a larger stadium than yours but yet you can’t even think about filling it, while your sketchy coach plots his next move. Oh, and your students chant White Stripes’ songs nonstop…
