Point Blank
Seasons greetings, sports junkies!
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

crowd to not take my picks seriously;
I have been more wrong than right
this season. For superstitious reasons I

been excluded. I wouldn't want my luck
to rub off.

can beat a ACC team this year!
Copper Bowl: Oklahoma-BYU. The

should dominate BYU.
Heritage Bowl: South Carolina StateSouthern
