University professor remembered by students, colleagues after death

By Asia Rapai Reporter

Brent Nicholson left a legacy at the University through his passion for teaching and enthusiasm for learning, but he will also be remembered for sporting bow ties and loving his dog, Maggie.

Nicholson, an associate professor of legal studies and Hamilton Endowed Professor of Entrepreneurship, died Dec. 4 at the age of 56 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Perrysburg.

He lost consciousness after

Bone-chilling cold plods into Northeast US BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Hoods were up and heads were down as a storm that plagued the Midwest for days plodded eastward Tuesday with knifing winds and blowing snow, stranding dozens of motorists on a southern Ontario highway and giving much of the northeastern U.S. its first real taste of winter.

The storm brought bone-chilling cold and more snow was expected or already falling Tuesday in parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.

The frigid air stretched into the deep South, where hard freeze warnings were in effect overnight in much of Florida. Hundreds of schools were closed or opening late.

Nearly 180 of the estimated 300 people trapped in their vehicles on a highway near Sarnia, Ontario, about 65 miles northeast of Detroit, had been rescued by buses and military helicopters, Canadian officials said. Ontario Community Safety Minister Jim Bradley said he had no reports of deaths or injuries among the stranded.

Colin Steward spent 25 hours stuck in his car, napping, phoning relatives and updating Facebook from his BlackBerry, the 50-year-old said Tuesday in a phone interview

“What can I do? I’m not impressed—it’s Canada.”

“What can I do?” he said. “I’m not impressed — it’s Canada.”

The blowing snow and road closures forced even a ski hill in northern Ontario, the Blue Mountain resort, to close.

In New York, state officials closed sections of two major roadways outside Rochester for about two hours Tuesday afternoon after accidents on snowy roads.

More than 10 inches of new snow had fallen at the Rochester airport by Tuesday morning, but flights were taking off and landing on schedule.

NATION Poll: Most want easier way to fire bad teachers

ATLANTA (AP) — An overwhelming majority of Americans are frustrated that it’s too difficult to get rid of bad teachers, while most also believe that teachers aren’t paid enough, a new poll shows.

The Associated PressStanford University poll found that 78 percent think it should be easier for school administrators to fire poorly performing teachers. Yet overall, the public wants to reward teachers — 57 percent say they are paid too little, with just 7 percent believing they are overpaid and most of the rest saying they’re paid about right.

School districts have struggled for years over how to keep good teachers. This has led to controversial techniques like using standardized test scores to measure how much a student has learned in a teacher’s class. Some districts, like New York City schools, are considering making the data public so parents know how teachers rate.

The Los Angeles school district announced in late August it would adopt such a model to assess teacher performance.

Unions have fought against the release of such data, saying it’s an unproven methodology that doesn’t truly reflect how a teacher is performing in the classroom.

Carmen Williams, 53, an office manager from Yates City, Ill., said the issue is simple: Pay teachers more and get rid of the bad ones.

“Good teachers are hard to find, and one of the reasons they are hard to find

“Good teachers are hard to find ... they’re not paid enough ...”

Carmen Williams | Manager

is because they’re not paid enough to support themselves, especially if they have a family,” she said. “There are very good teachers out there, but there comes a day when they need to retire and they don’t and what happens at that point is the kids suffer.”

It’s not just bad teachers that people want set loose. Nearly as many in the AP-Stanford poll — 71 percent — said it should be easier to fire principals at schools where students are performing poorly.

Half said that teachers’ salaries should be based on their students’ performance on statewide tests and on the evaluations they receive from local school officials. About 1 in 4 said pay should be determined solely by school administrators’ ratings, while under 1 in 5 said salaries should be based only on how well students do on statewide testing.

While eager to send bad teachers packing, just 35 percent said a large number of bad teachers is a serious problem in America’s schools and only 45 percent say teachers’ unions are to blame. In contrast, more than half are critical of parents and federal, state and local education officials, and 55 percent say the inability to recruit and keep good teachers is a big problem.

House plans vote on military gay ban before holiday adjournment

Advocates for repeal must have Congressional action before Republicans take House control WASHINGTON (AP) — In a new showdown, the House this week will take up a bill that would overturn the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gays, Democratic leader Steny Hoyer said Tuesday.

The move would put pressure on the Senate to delay its holiday adjournment plans and take up a standalone repeal bill sponsored last week by Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Connecticut’s independent senator, Joseph Lieberman.

That bill’s fate has been in doubt because of other press-

ing issues facing the Senate with only days to go before it planned to conclude its lameduck session.

Repeal advocates see this week as their last best shot at overturning “don’t ask, don’t tell,” which bars gay troops from acknowledging their sexual orientation. Next year, Republicans take back control of the House and additional Senate seats, severely undercutting the chances that any Democratic priority will advance come January.

“This discriminatory and harmful policy has weakened

America’s security by depriving us of the work of tens of thousands of gay and lesbian troops who have served their country honorably,” Hoyer said in a statement. “And it has severely compromised our Armed Forces’ core value of integrity.”

The congressional debate comes as the head of the Marine Corps told reporters that lifting the ban during wartime could cost lives.

“I don’t want to lose any Marines to the distraction,” said Marine Commandant Gen. James Amos. “I don’t

want to have any Marines that I’m visiting at Bethesda (Naval Medical Center) with no legs be the result of any type of distraction.”

Other senior military officials have countered that changing the law during wartime is preferable because troops are more focused on survival than a colleague’s sexual orientation.

Hoyer on Tuesday said he would introduce the bill with Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy as his cosponsor. A vote was expected as early as Wednesday.

Police: Fla. gunman killed self at school board meeting Former prisoner spray-painted ‘V’ on podium, attacked ‘clowns’ on Panama City school board PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) — A gunman who opened fire at a school board meeting and then exchanged shots with a security guard has killed himself, police said.

Witnesses said the gunman walked up to a podium, spray painted a red “V” with a circle around it and began firing.

School board member Ginger Littleton said she hit the gunman in the arm with her purse when some of the people in the room were ordered out.

“In my mind, that was the last attempt or opportunity to divert him,” she told The Associated Press.

The gunman got angry, turned around, and she fell

to the floor. The man pointed the gun at her head and said, “You stupid b----” but he didn’t shoot her, she said. She’s not sure why.

“He had every opportunity take me out,” she said.

Initially, officials thought the security guard may have killed the gunman. But police Sgt. Jeff Becker said that after authorities reviewed videotape of the shooting, investigators determined that the gunman, identified as Clay A. Duke, fatally shot himself after being hit by shots fired

by Jones. No one besides the gunman was injured.

State records show Duke, 56, served four years in

prison about a decade ago for aggravated stalking and other crimes.

Reporter Daniel Carson of the Panama City News Herald told his paper that he had noticed the man during the meeting and he didn’t appear agitated.

Leon Walters, who was also in attendance, said the gunman was a heavy, disheveled man who walked along the side of the room to the podium.

Walters said the man pulled out a can of spray paint and drew a red circle on the wall with a mark through it. Carson and other witnesses described it as the letter “V.” The man then pulled out what looked

like a pistol.

“What are you doing?” someone asked, Walters recalled.

“What’s going on?”

The gunman told everyone to leave “except these clowns behind the counter here,” referring to the school board members, Walters said. Carson said the gunman told everyone to leave except the male board members.

That’s when Littleton hit the gunman with her purse.

Walters left the room but stayed behind one of the doors. He called 911 and was peeking inside.

The gunman was in a heated discussion with the school board members, Walters said.

Feminist betrays roots by supporting Assange in rape case Naomi Wolf’s criticism of alleged rape victims negate’s her past work in forwarding feminism cause, makes her less respectful in feminism field KATE NOFTSINGER COLUMNIST Self-proclaimed “longtime feminist activist” Naomi Wolf is under fire this week for an open letter she wrote to the International Criminal Police Organization via the Huffington Post. Wolf linked Interpol to “the dating police” after they arrested Wikileaks enabler Julian Assange on sexual assault charges.

Her words were dripping with sarcasm as she eagerly thanked Interpol for apprehending the man accused of rape by two women. Now Wolf is left standing in a puddle, or better said, a steaming pile — of her own doing.

“I have been overjoyed to discover your new commitment to engaging in global manhunts to arrest and

prosecute men who behave like narcissistic jerks to women they are dating,” she said. Wolf argued the accusers are pressing charges in a scheme for revenge, conjured only after they realized he was dating both of them at the same time.

She snarkily suggests that if these vindictive charges stick, Interpol also arrest an entire fraternity, as well as boyfriends who patronize strippers and don’t notice haircuts — because they are all guilty of similar wrongdoing.

But why is a well-known feminist affirming the douchebag defense that only angry women cry sexual assault to get back at men who cheat or have hurt them in some way other than actually violating them?

Andi Zeisler blogged a response for Bitch, stating Wolf’s words were particularly disappointing consid-

ering she wrote a cover story for New York Magazine in 2004 about her own sexual assault. She admitted that as an undergraduate student at Yale, she was too scared to report the crime — and has regretted it ever since. Apparently Wolf used to think women should be encouraged to come forward with their stories, and when they are brave enough to speak the truth, they should be believed.

But now she is publicly denying two women victim status because of the power and inf luence of the accused.

Feminist author and blogger Jessica Valenti responded to Wolf in the Washington Post, where she asserted actual facts pertaining to the Assange case are hard to come by — while assumptions are a dime a dozen.

Valenti explained the accusations rest on something

called “withdrawn consent” — an unknown concept in the United States.

To Americans, initial consent is all that matters.

“So if you initially agree to have sex and later change your mind for whatever reason — it hurts, your partner has become violent, or you’re simply no longer in the mood — your partner can continue despite your protestations, and it won’t be considered rape. It defies common sense,” Valenti said.

And more importantly, it is illegal in Sweden.

Victim-blaming has run rampant because people are confusing the crimes. The Wikileaks scandal is one thing — but this is sexual violence.

Yesterday, National Public Radio reported Assange’s bail was set at $380,000. “The former computer hacker is wanted for questioning after two women accused him of rape, molestation and

unlawful coercion in separate encounters in Sweden over the summer,” and was originally denied bail. Yet in the same story, NPR reported “Supporters [of Assange] outside City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court erupted in cheers when they heard news of Tuesday’s ruling”-- a frightening scene when we consider why he was actually arrested.

Wolf, blatantly on team Assange, wrote another piece for HuffPo just three days later, likening his arrest to the revival of the Espionage Act. She also congratulated herself for predicting these events indicating “the end of America” four years prior.

After plugging her book by the same name, Wolf warns that we are all Julian Assange and our first amendment rights are at stake.

But seriously, what about the raping?

Is her unexpected stance

just risky advertising? Is Wolf using the Assange incident to prove a past point and push a book that didn’t sell as well as she had hoped? Wolf is better known for “the Beauty Myth” and her opinions on sexism rather than democracy. Perhaps she is consciously attempting to distance herself from feminism as she takes on American history and politics?

Regardless of whether or not her distasteful commentary was an (un)clever marketing ploy, it has lost her a significant amount of respect in the feminist community. I can’t imagine discrediting successful titles like “Promiscuities” and “Fire With Fire” is worth the limited attention her controversial and career jeopardizing actions have earned her latest literary installment.

Religion ruins Okla. holiday parade Brighten boring holiday parties

By Steven Zoller, The Oklahoma Daily (Oklahoma State University) College News Network

Something that strikes me as odd about Christian America is its seemingly infinite capacity to feel persecuted.

I understand the Bible tells the faithful to expect ridicule, but when your beliefs are shared by nearly 80 percent of the country, isn’t it a bit silly to frequently cast yourself as the victim of discrimination?

Not at all, asserts the religious right. Wherever Christmas sales become holiday sales and Christmas trees become holiday trees, the devil is surely at work.

So the devil must be in Tulsa, Okla., where controversy has erupted over the renaming of its annual Holiday Parade of Lights.

The problem? It used to be called the Christmas Parade of Lights.

Sen. Jim Inhofe — along with other Tulsa Christians who’ve been tragically marginalized — has declared he will

“This public event shouldn’t bruise their personal beliefs.” not ride in the parade this year unless the word “Christmas” is reinserted.

He calls the change a “shameful attempt to take Christ, the true reason for our celebration, out of the parade’s title.”

Not bothering to account for other religions that might be represented in the parade, Inhofe dared to ask in a later Fox News interview, “Why do they always pick on the Christians?”

That’s a funny question, especially coming from a senator who advocated profiling Muslims as a security measure, and whose state explicitly targeted Islam with State Question 755.

Never mind that, even if we ignore the hypocrisy in his statement, we’re still dealing with the most tyrannical, power-hungry 20 percent of the popula-

tion America has ever suffered under.

Although I don’t necessarily care for Inhofe, it’s a shame he and those who agree with him will be missing the parade for such petty, paranoid and materialistic reasons.

Petty because all that has changed is the name.

Inhofe has emphasized before that changing it broke tradition, but it was never a tradition that had much cultural value to begin with.

Paranoid because only someone ver y sca red and insecure about his or her faith would ever consider somet hing so minor as a threat.

And materialistic. In getting caught up in a name and its connotation, Inhofe and those sincerely set off by the name change are allowing their own inner feelings about the season to change based on what’s going on outside. This public event shouldn’t bruise their personal beliefs.

Unless their beliefs are actually quite fragile.

with cheap celebration ideas

Use alcohol, outrageous costumes, dirty Santa for a good Christmas

By Caitlin Turner, The Oklahoma Daily (Oklahoma State University) College News Network

Well tickle my tinsel. You’re done with finals and so are your friends. Before those painfully disappointing grades come in, take a moment to celebrate another successful semester of pretending to take notes while clicking through textsfromlastnight.com.

Whether you’re black, white or sparkly; Jewish, atheist or mildly satanic, ‘tis the season for smothering your home in red and green and referring to whiskey in your egg nog as “festive.”

But you don’t want to throw a shindig because — let me guess — you’re on a budget, you have friends who bring dead squirrels to parties and you washed one dish a month ago ... you think.

Slow your holiday party hatin’ roll, Scrooge McGrinch! The secret to a truly mirth-filled wintry fete is knowing your audience and knowing how to tell them to suck it if they

don’t like your soiree.

Here are my top five tips about how to make your seasonal social a holly jolly jam.

1. XXXmas costume contest — Why is Halloween the only holiday when you get to dress like a 2-cent sex worker? We all have that tiny plaid dress that you never wear out because it reveals more of Santa’s little helpers than you feel comfortable with. Encourage your guests to make their Rudolph costumes ruder and their Frosty costumes friskier. It will be ho-ho-horrendous.

2. Snacks on snacks, holiday version — Cooking is hard when it can’t be done in a microwave. The best snacks are the ones that require no utensils or clean up. For example, those Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes or a package of raw bacon (you can call it Carpaccio). Keep it festive with an entire box of Apple Jacks in a mixing bowl with one big spoon.

It’s flu season, so follow up every bite of communal cereal with a shot of vodka to kill the germs.

3. Beer in the snow and Christmas Mountaintinis — What is the reason for the season? Don’t answer that; instead, head on over to the liquor store and pick up your favorite cheap beer and grain alcohol. I like to arrange my confidence–in-a-can in a swath of white fleece so it looks like it’s fresh from the slopes and ready to get under the mistletoe.

Mountain Dew and Mountain Dew’s evil twin Code Red combined with 100-proof anything make a cheerfully toxic punch sure to light up all of your guests like a Christmas tree.

4. Shaken present syndrome — Play an exciting game of Dirty Santa with your party crew, except make them all bring gifts that are actually filthy.

People may shake the wrapped packages to guess whether or not they want to open the used adult diaper or steal that bag of moldy Chinese food from their friend. I advise having barf buckets on hand, in case the fun gets to be too much for some people.

Nicholson’s daughter, Lindsay Czech, is an admissions counselor at the University. Czech said she was happy she saw the professional side of her father and that she knew he could provide good advice for his students like he did for her.

“He was a great person to go to for advice,” she said.

“He was the smartest person I knew.”

Czech also saw how passionate her father was about teaching.

“Even when he saw students outside of the classroom, he knew all of their names,” she said about times she visited him while they were both working.

Czech also joked that her father liked to dress like a professor with his quirky bow ties.

“He thought he was hilarious,” she said. “He carried a briefcase and wore cardigan sweaters. He liked looking the part of a traditional professor.”

Colleagues and students who knew him said they would joke with him and tease him about his bow ties, as he often liked to tease

“I’ve got everything,” he said.

“I’m good.”

But after a full day of snowfall, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown issued a driving advisory just in time for the evening commute, asking people not to make unnecessary trips that might hamper plow crews. The city had gotten 4 1/2 inches of new snow by the afternoon, the National Weather Service said.

By noon Tuesday, 20 inches had fallen in Perrysburg, near the Lake Erie shoreline south of Buffalo. Forecasters said some areas along the lakes could get 1 to 2 feet of new snow from this latest storm.

his Juris Doctorate from Ohio State University in 1979.

After working 10 years, Nicholson left his career in accounting and law practices to do what he was most passionate about — teaching.

Throughout his University career, Nicholson served as chair of the Department of Legal Studies, director of the Entrepreneurship academic programs and associate dean.

He also served on several college committees and won various faculty awards for service and advising from the University.

“He will be very, very sorely missed. He was a close friend and a phenomenal colleague and teacher,” said David Stott, chair of Accounting and Management Information Systems.

To fill Nicholson’s three classes this semester, instructors Gene Poor, Sue Mota and Phil Schurrer were each willing to step up as permanent substitutes and take on a class, Stott said.

Stott and Nicholson got to know each other through their passion for education at the University. Stott said Nicholson was a good person to talk to and to argue ideas with.

“He was truly an academic.

He loved the sheer aspect of learning,” Stott said. “That’s our connection, this desire to

other people.

“I really will miss his wit and the smile on his face,” said Rodney Rogers, dean for the College of Business.

Nicholson was always willing to challenge issues at the University with the students’ best interest in mind, he said, and it was an honor to work with him.

“He had high expectations and challenged the students to dream big with what they could accomplish,” Rogers said.

Several students considered Nicholson a mentor and one of their favorite professors.

“He wasn’t afraid to step outside the realm of class and still be there for you,” Graduate Assistant Branden Stultz said.

When asking for advice from Nicholson, Stultz said talking to him was similar to the way Nicholson taught his class.

“He let me come up with my own ideas, and he would be there to provide feedback,” Stultz said. “He would push you in the direction you were probably already leaning toward to begin with, but he would give you a much better sense of how to do that.”

Nicholson has taught at the University since 1989, but he started at the University by earning his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. He received

25 mph, with gusts to 35 mph, dropped wind-chill readings below zero.

In northern Ohio, the wintry blast made driving risky and pushed some university exams to Christmas week.

In Cleveland, where up to 2 feet of snow has already fallen in parts of the snow belt east of the city, as much as 9 more inches could fall before a storm warning expires Wednesday morning.

Much farther south, helicopters were being used on Florida’s valuable and sensitive vegetable crops, an unusual approach by farmers worried that an uncommon freeze could wipe out their harvests.

The choppers hover low over fields to push warmer air closer to the plants.

It was too windy to use helicopters Tuesday morning, but farmer John Hundley said he would try Tuesday night if winds calmed and temperatures did not warm up.

Although Stott said it has been difficult to think about losing such a close friend and colleague, Nicholson would have wanted him to keep moving forward.

“Life continues on,” he said.

“Brent (Nicholson) wouldn’t have had it any other way.”

Senior Dana Rybak got to know Nicholson through her involvement in the BizX Entrepreneurial Leadership Program.

She said Nicholson helped her decide to pursue a law degree and work through the process of taking her Law School Admission Test.

“I was freaking out about my LSAT,” she said. “He really kept reassuring me that I could do it. He told me I was going to be one of the people who would get to choose where I want to go to law school.”

She took the test in October and asked Nicholson to write a letter of recommendation for her to use in her application. He wrote the letter, and it was received by the Law School Administration Council the day Nicholson had his heart attack.

“He is still a part of me going to law school,” she said. “That connection to him will help me get through it.”

She said the idea of the impact he made is making his death a little easier to deal with, but it is not easy in any way.

“I’m just glad I actually had him in class and got to know him as a professor,” she said.

“Take the time to get to know professors who take the time to get to know you.”

She said that because of his contagious excitement for teaching and his enthusiasm in getting to know every one of his students, he made a huge impact on the University. It was a big enough of an impact that Rybak said she actually looked forward to waking up early to go to his 8 a.m. class.

“Other students will hear about him I’m sure because that’s just the way his personality was,” Rybak said. “The professors will continue to carry him on.

To honor Nicholson, the College of Business has organized a way to remember him on his birthday, March 30, Rogers said. Bow ties will be sold and then worn on his birthday. The funds raised from the bow tie sales will be used to reward a particular student who exudes Nicholson’s passionate personality.

“I’m glad he had something that set him apart to really leave his legacy,” Czech said.

“Gosh, he would’ve loved that.”

Weston brings success to Falcons Max Weston looks to help the Falcons build off of third place finish in the Mid-American Conference Max Weston

By Bryan Filipponi Reporter

ANDREA FEHL | THE BG NEWS

PUSH: Max Weston pushes the ball upfield earlier this season.

As the BG men’s soccer team looks forward to next season there is growing expectations of what the team can accomplish.

With the team only losing four seniors out of the 26 man roster, the squad with an entire year’s worth of experience under their belts meshed with greater confidence in the system being run.

Also, the overall strengthening of the team as a whole has them looking to improve on last season’s third place finish in the MidAmerican Conference.

“The seniors are obviously a huge loss, but we have a great core group coming back that gained some good experience this year and we should be able to build on the success we had this year,” said forward Max Weston. “It was a great feeling because we were picked to finish sixth so in that sense it was great to prove people wrong.

“The way that it happened was really special because we were tied 1-1 with FAU and the winner went to the MAC tournament and finished 3rd in the conference so that clutch goal from Ryan Comiskey showed a lot of the promise the younger guys have.”

Weston led the team in total

Had four goals and five assists to lead BG in points. points in his second season as a Falcon. He had four goals and five assists, with a total of 13 points over 18 competitions. BG was 3-0-1 in games in which he had a goal and 5-1-1 when he scored at least one point.

“It always feels good to score and help the team and hopefully I can build on that number next year,” Weston said. “I did not do anything too different as the season went on, I tried to be patient and make sure I got enough sleep and ate well.”

The love of soccer was instilled in Weston at ripe age of seven. He grew up being mystified by Ronaldinho at Barcelona. The passion was then solidified by seeing Brazilian superstars such as KaKa first hand at Soldier Field in Chicago, the USA international team, and the Columbus Crew.

“I think watching the Columbus Crew play when I was younger really made me love the game,” Weston said. “Soccer has always been a

While students will be at home over the holiday season, the BG hockey team will be hard at work preparing for a pair of games in the UConn Holiday Tournament.

The Falcons’ (6-12-2, 2-10-2 Central Collegiate Hockey Association) first game will be played against Princeton.

Depending on the outcome of that game, they will then play either UConn or Holy Cross.

Princeton (8-5, 6-3 Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference)

has received national recognition this season, as they have received 23 points in USCHO. com’s top 20 poll — good for third in the “others receiving votes” category.

The Tigers have had three goaltenders start a game this season, with Sean Bonar having the most success. In five starts he has given up only six goals — for a 1.19 goalsagainst average, and he has a .947 save percent.

Backup goalie Mike Condon has also started five games, with a 2.22 GAA and a .927 save percent.

The Falcons are coming off of a disappointing weekend against Ohio State in which they were swept.

They possessed a 2-0 lead early in the third period on Friday before losing 4-3 in overtime, and then lost 4-2 on Saturday.

Overall the Falcons have lost three of their last five games, with the other two games counting as ties and shootout losses.

This season the Falcons have been more successful in non-conference games, as they hold a 4-2-0 record against teams from outside of the CCHA.

MEN’S BASKETBALL Falcons take the court over break The BG men’s basketball team will be seeing plenty of action over break, taking the court five time during the three-week hiatus from classes.

They will play twice at Anderson Arena.

Middle Tennessee Ryan, Sean and Becky ... yes, I have Shout out to all our loyal readers this been rigging the NCAA. Not really, semester. I hope you laughed at my vs. Miami (OH) but could you imagine? terrible picks as much as I did.

Miami (OH) -3 Miami 26, MTSU 10 Miami 24 MTSU 14

The MAC has a tendency to fizzle out in bowl games, however I think the RedHawks can pull this one out.

Miami go and make the MAC proud, just like the Akron soccer team.

Miami 17, MTSU 2

Miami 24, MTSU 20

Tech can’t seen to lose right As a California resident, I am obliged No.4 Stanford Virginia now. to side with the Cardinal. Not really, vs. No. 13 Va. Tech but I will anyway.

Stanford -3 Va. Tech 35, Stanford 23 Stanford 31, Va. Tech 17

If Harbaugh enjoys coaching BCS games he should stay at Stanford, this probably won’t be the last trip he’ll make if he stays.

Stanford 31, Va. Tech 23

Stanford 24, Va. Tech 20

No. 16 Alabama Alabama is the defending national Sparty is probably bummed they Once again, legends and leaders? Really? left out of the BCS. I personally Roll Tide. vs. No. 9 MSU champs; that’s good enough for me. were think that it’s hilarious.

Alabama -10 No. 5 Wisconsin vs.No.3TCU TCU -2.5

Alabama 42, MSU 27

Alabama 38, MSU 14

The Badgers won’t put up as many points as they have been, but for the second straight year, a Big Ten team wins the Rose Bowl.

Wisconsin 27, TCU 24

You could run for 1,000 yards in I’’m picking against the Big Ten just Wisconsin’s offense. Not even kidding because of how stupid the new diviabout that, it’s pretty ridiculous. sion names are.

Wisconsin 31, TCU 27

No. 6 Ohio State I found it funny how everone was mak- Ohio State can’t beat SEC teams in ing a big deal about Pryor returning for bowl games. I also find that hilarious. vs. No. 8 Arkansas his senior season. He gets the win here, but no way is he ready for Sundays.

Ohio State -2.5 OSU 21, Arkansas 17

Arkansas 35, OSU 21

Newton will have a BCS No. 2 Oregon Cam National Championsip to go along vs. No. 1 Auburn with his Heisman, but his investigation is far from over.

TCU 24, Wisconsin 21 Buckeyes in a BCS bowl against an SEC team? This pick is almost automatic.

Arkansas 42, OSU 17

Here’s a shout out to my friend Sarah, towns person and grad student: your Spartans are going down!

Alabama 24, MSU 20 I have a recurring dream that I’m running in the tunnel at the Rose Bowl. I’m not sure what that means, but TCU wins.

TCU 24, Wisconsin 20 For the sake of the state, I hope the Buckeyes can win, but let’s be real they’re not the best in bowl games.

OSU 24, Arkansas 20

No one will have to look back in SEC gets a national title, but how long retrospect and worry about if Auburn’s until this one is revoked by the NCAA? season was legitimate.

In the pick ‘em Paul is Oregon and I’m Auburn; we’re both good but one is a lot better
