And Somewhere in the Darkness: NCAA Week 4

We really need to keep the Sabbath holy this weekend. Not only are we drained after last weekend, but Sunday’s NFL action is a bonanza of intrigue that we’d like to be particularly fresh for. Worth noting here is that the best line in “The Gambler” is when Kenny’s soul cries: “and somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even.” So into the darkness is where we crawl. Maybe we don’t know exactly when to fold ‘em, but we’re going to take it easy tomorrow with only one pick for the day. Arizona -3 over UCLA. Yes, Mike Stoops hasn’t had a very good run as head coach at ‘Zona, and might just have a job as a Pac-10 head coach because his brother is a good coach, but he’s no Rick Neuheisel. And, in desperation to find action to balance our Buckeyes play last Saturday at the sportsbook, we went with the New Mexico Lobos over Arizona for a nice win and cover. Those Lobos didn’t look bad at all. And yes, we’re trying to salvage something, anything from our trip. So we’ll look to run up our score on Neuheisel to 2-1 and watch the rest of the action from a safe distance. We’ll see ya’ Sunday morning for the NFL action. Don't forget to weigh in with your picks.
