Boilers Spank Irish, 41-16 Boilers Spank Irish, 41-16

Each week the
Maniacs are
asked to pick
the winners of five games. The prognosticators
have to rank the games 1-5. For
example, this week, if the Maniac was
most certain that Purdue was going to
beat Penn State, he would rank that
game a five. If he was least certain that
Wisconsin was going to beat Ohio State
he would rank that game a 1. Points will
be tabulated throughout the season with
each week having a maximum of 15
points. In case of a tie, the Maniac coming
closest to predicting the total points
in the featured Purdue game will be the
winner. The guess for the tiebreaker is
found in parentheses after the predicted
winner of that game.
Weekly Media Mania winners receive
a dinner certificate for two to Bruno’s
Swiss Inn, located in West Lafayette and
the yearly winner will be presented with
the Golden Typewriter as the top Media
Maniac. Point totals for Week 5/cumulative
point totals are listed in parentheses.

Comment: Now that the South Bend streak is
busted, Purdue must refocus quickly to gain
another road victory that has eluded them in the
Tiller Era. That said, Penn State just doesn’t have
enough tools to stop a team on a roll like this.
