Sept. 18 Games

Picks for September 18th games and a top 4 list:

Nebraska -3 at Washington - Cornhuskers defense is still good, Bo Pelini is looking to take the team back to their glory days and Washington just seems too trendy just because Jake Locker is back. 

Navy -3 at Louisiana Tech - The Navy offense has been out of sync so far this year.  The Bulldogs defense will help get them back on track and Ricky Dobbs will look like the 2009 version as Navy controls the ball, controls the clock and controls the scoreboard.

USC -11 at Minnesota - The Trojans looked like garbage on defense in their first game against Hawaii.  Looked like a drunken hobo on offense against Virginia in their second game.  They won both.  Minnesota was barely good enough to squeeze by Middle Tennessee State in their first game and then got rolled at home by somebody called South Dakota last week.  USC puts it together against a terrible Golden Gopher team and rolls big.

Top 4 Canadian Beers

4. Molson Canadian - A nice beer that goes great with hamburgers, steak or fried chicken and they score some style points for the simple yet elegant maple leaf on a white field bottlecap.

3. Molson Ice - Some find it a little skunky, but I find it an excellent complement to steak and with a 5.6% alcohol content it delivers.

2. Labatt's Blue - Always refreshing and anytime I'm somewhere that carries it, it always makes me wonder why it isn't more readlily available.  A very satisfying barley pop.

1.  Koakanee - Next to impossible to find in the Southern California area, and maybe it's scarcity makes me desire it more, an ice-cold Koakanee tops the list.  Like Oregon cheerleaders, this beer is pure bliss.  If you know where to find it in the Orange County area, let me know.

  1. They sell Kokanee in Washington State Costcos. I might have to see if I can transport it across state lines.
