First Place Cats

This post's title would seem to be the words of a madman. But no, they are the words of a truth-speaking Fish Head who watched in person as the Cats mauled the hapless Badgers. Granted, this was the Badgers minus their starting quarterback, and featuring their star running back who apparently snorted crystal meth before each handoff whereupon he forgot he had the ball. Nonetheless, the Cats won and own sole possession of first place in the B1G West. Buy your tickets for Indianapolis now.

Next up are the Fighting Irish. Whom the Fish Head would like to see as the Fleeing Irish as they slink out of Evanston with their first loss of the season. Now for those of you who say IMPOSSIBLE, look no further than the recent history of the rivalry, and then think again. Or, examine ND's 8-0 record closely. You will see two close wins over cupcakes, and two "signature” wins, over Michigan and Stanford. How signature? Not much, given that the Cats almost beat Michigan, and Stanford has not looked strong at 5-3.

Will the Cats prevail over ND? Fish Head says Yes. Fitz will coach the team into a paroxysm of enthusiasm, hunting for the signature win to enter the Top 15 of the rankings, with Clayton, Bowser, and the defensive O-Line overpowering the Irish under the lights in Evanston.

Go Cats!
