The Valero Alamo Bowl
Michigan State vs Texas Tech, ESPN, 8:00


You just have to wonder what will have the bigger impact on a team, losing a head coach and all the turmoil surrounding it or having 11 teammates suspended before the game.  Ruffin McNeill, The nutty professor leads the Sand Aggies into this game.  Michigan State is 96th in the country in pass efficiency D and Texas Tech is #2 passing offense.  Any questions?  Regardless of Mike Leach being gone, first one to 50 wins and that's the Sand Aggies. There's a reason they call it a "system."

Pick: Texas Tech is favored by 8.  I'm picking the home team to cover.
