Time again for another amazingly accurate prediction (also known as a wild guess) for this week’s Texas Longhorns football game, courtesy of NCAA Football 09 for the Nintendo Wii.

Past predictions have been so-so, with last week’s real score a whopping 18 combined points different from the Wii prediction. (Hey, I never said this was a perfect system.)

Anyway, this week the Arkansas Razorbacks come to town, still sore from getting their pork pulled last week by Alabama. On paper, tomorrow’s game should be no different. After all, this Arkansas team has struggled all season, and don’t think for one minute the Horns have forgotten what happened the last time the Hogs came to Austin.

Still, after seeing Oregon State take down #1 USC on Thursday night, it’s important to remember that nothing can be taken for granted anymore in NCAA 1-A football. The Wii, in all it’s electronic wisdom, must understand that because this week it’s predicting a painfully close score of 24-21, Texas.

Let’s hope I’m way off, ’cause I’m smellin’ bacon!

Hook ‘Em, Horns!

Real Score: 52-10. Whoa. Not even close. Maybe the Wii thought I was playing Ole Miss vs. Florida.
