Hoople: Hack-eyes, you're not likely to get burned
By MAJOR AMOS B. HOOPLE, Fearless Forecaster
Egad! Peasants, we say a fond farewell to all the bumble-bees out there who are making the trip to Soldier Field this weekend. It's easy to get there. Just follow the bouncing ball. It's the one that Rex Grossman dropped! Harrrumph!
Let me also dispel the rumor that the Hack-eyes will turn to the West Coast offense against Northern Illinois. Judging from the headlines lately, cash and carry might be more like it. Kaff-kaff!
Just kidding, bumble-bees. Captain Kirk and the boys will rise to the occasion this week and tame the Huskies, who are not equipped with a Burner, or an Afterburner this year. Judging from what's been going on in DeKalb lately, they could use a good sump pump. Kaff-kaff!
When we last saw Gary Pinkel, he was still whining about the holding call that negated Missouri's go-ahead touchdown against the Cyclods. Say this about the always-lovable (think Simon Cowell in a visor -- Kaff-kaff!) Tiger head coach. When sees talent, he knows what to do with it. That's right, the opposition almost always gets better -- harrumph!
Not this year, though. Pinkel's Tigers defeat the mighty Illini, a decision that will springboard Mizzou to the Big 12 North championship. That's kind of a dubious distinction, isn't it? Winning that division is sort of like beating the White Sox -- anybody can do it. Harrrumph!
Until next week, peasants.
