Second String Sportswriters Football Selections

We've got faces for radio and voices for the newspaper. This week a few of us SourceMedia Group sportswriters will make the same selections on our multiple websites as the stars who appear in the Saturday morning version of The Gazette. Here's our chance to shine:

JEFF JOHNSON

• Iowa 24, Wisconsin 21 – Has anyone told Badger fans coming to this game that Iowa City is now dry?
• Texas 48, Iowa State 7 – I originally had Iowa State winning this one … Well, no I didn't.
• Oklahoma State 21, Nebraska 13 – You know what the ‘N' on Nebraska's helmets stands for? No BCS game.
• Last week: 2-1; Overall: 14-7

SCOTT DOCHTERMAN

• Iowa 20, Wisconsin 17 - Bielema's card says the Badgers' bus stops for drinks in Dubuque if they don't get pulled over in Anamosa.
• Texas 61, Iowa State 16 - Big 12 gerrymandered the schedule so Texas will never play in Ames after the first weekend in October. Like it matters for a numerical palindrome on the scoreboard Saturday.
• Nebraska 38, Oklahoma State 34 - I can't wait for the post-game handshake between Oklahoma State Owner T. Boone Pickens and Nebraska's ... yeah, right.
• Last week: 2-1; Overall: 12-9

JEFF LINDER

• Iowa 20, Wisconsin 16 – What do the residents of Dickeyville do to harass the Hawk fans now that there's a bypass? .
• Texas 56, Iowa State 20 – The feet of Texas will be upon the Cyclones' rump. Repeatedly. .
• Okie State 19, Nebraska 17 –This never gets old: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoMmbUmKN0E. .
• Last week: 3-0; Overall: 18-3

K.J. PILCHER

• Wisconsin 24, Iowa 13 – My wife and I don't entertain people often. Mainly because we are miserable entertainers and we hate people.
• Texas 41, Iowa State 17 – Pat McGrath Chevyland, Pat McGrath Chevyland, Pat McGrath Chevyland, Pat McGrath Chevyland…This is an attempt to get a new car.
• Nebraska 28, Oklahoma State 20 – The wrench looks like the firemen chewed all over it. This is product of a sports staff “madlib”.  Nice work boys… 
• Last week: 2-1; Overall: 15-6
