Ifs that festive time of year that brings the Heisman Tronhv winner an nouncement and a virtual smorgasbord of college bowl games. This will be my last "Point Blank" of 1994, and I can tell you there is no one more happier than I am to get this year over with. I have given my blessing to many athletes and teams this fall, and it appears my blessings are more like curses. Exhibit A: I said TyWheatley would win the Heisman, but his early injury took him out of the race. Exhibit B: The Houston Oilers. Hey, who knew? I have also had some pleasant experiences this year, but no one jumps to mind quicker than the USC volleyball team. Their great season ended Saturday night with a loss to San Diego. I, for one, can't wait for next volleyball season! I am going to end the '94 semester by giving my picks for all 20 bowl games ~-.J y *jgL, . H ififSSl ' ' ? If v |K??'
