Sneak Peak
(7)Penn State, 2-0 vs. Illinois 1-1: We must give credit where credit is due. Last week, Illinois never gave up in their game against Kansas, a game they lost 34-23. Their problem is that they had absolutely no answer for what the Jayhawks were doing offensively. This week, the Fighting Illini are home against Big 10 powerhouse, Penn State. The Nittany Lions are 2-0, and after last week’s 63-7 blowout of Delaware, they’re looking to feast on Illinois. For Illinois, that’s a scary thought. Offensively, Penn State scored over 100 points in their last two games, and last week alone, Drew Allar and company amassed 541 yards of total offense! If Illinois struggled with Kansas’s offense, what are they going to do against Penn State? Illinois will be prepared, and they’ll play ball, but they aren’t good enough to beat this Penn State team.
Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet, and welcome to the September 13, 2023 edition of Nooz Now. I’m your host, Francis Joseph LaManna..
let’s get into it.
🚓 12 hours ago, it was reported that escaped murderer, Danelo Cavalcante, was finally captured by police. Cavalcante broke out of Chester County Prison in August and has been on the run since. He was sentenced to life in prison after murdering his girlfriend. Cavalcante was an undocumented immigrant and entered the country illegally. Maybe the far left can provide a sanctuary city for him to kick his feet up in. I don’t know, maybe they can provide him with free education, free health care, free housing, and a job. Oh, wait, it’s too late for that.
♍ Tonight’s moon is waning crescent lit up at 1%. Tomorrow night we celebrate the beginning of a brand-new moon cycle in Virgo.
🔲 Three years ago, a Vincent Van Gogh painting was stolen from a Dutch Museum. The museum was in Amsterdam, and the 1884 painting was, The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring. The painting remained missing even though a suspect was arrested a year after the painting was stolen. Then, all of a sudden, someone brought it back in an Ikea bag.

🌞 Remember to keep the Sabbat Holy. On September 21, which happens to be the 5-year anniversary of Nooz Buffet, it’s the first day of the fall season. The Mabon Sabbat highlights the autumn equinox, a time when the sun shines on the equator and the northern and southern hemispheres receive equal light. The secret, however, is that day and night are not of equal length at the time of the equinox. I believe the real term for that special time is called equilux, and I believe it actually occurs days or weeks before the equinox.
🌞Speaking of the Sun, I often wondered, if the Sun is a star, and stars belong to constellations, in what constellation is our Sun in? If you were on another planet looking through a telescope, would our Sun be visible in a constellation?
😯 The Associate Press reported that more than 2,000 people died in Morocco from that earthquake.
🌊 The ice in Antarctica continues melting at alarming rate, and I wish someone would come out and just tell us the truth. The earth is going through a natural process where places that are inhabitable become habitable. Did you know that North American was frozen solid at one time? Who was burning fossil fuels then?
📝The launch date and time for the Big 10 college football weekly analysis has been changed to Friday, September 15th at 8 AM.
Alright everyone, have a wonderful night. Thanks for reading.
The Big 10 college football conference underwent some changes and restructuring not so long ago. It was the Big 10, and it contained 10 teams. After the restructuring, 4 more teams were added to the conference, and the Big 10 was divided in half, so, the Big 10 East has 7 teams, and the Big 10 West has 7 teams.
It’s still called the Big 10, but it now has 14 teams and 2 divisions.
Welcome to the September 14, 2023, edition of Moon Scope, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet.
In three more days, on Thursday, the 14th, we get a new moon in the astrological sign of Virgo. At the same time, the Sun should be crossing over into the last 10 degrees of his transit through the same sign.
With a brand-new and fresh moon cycle beginning in Virgo, we receive not only a new start but a new start with a bit of uniqueness to it.

My intuition reveals a current scenario where someone is trying to achieve something, trying to make something work or trying to do something the “right way.”
I see a continuous effort being made, and the wonderful thing about the new moon phase starting in Virgo is that it blesses us with the tools to make things better, or exactly how we want or think they should be.
Virgo is a sign of the time. It’s telling us exactly how to navigate through this cycle of time in our lives, and when it comes to crossing your t’s and dotting your i’s, Virgo is the best placement.
The interesting thing here is that Virgo is the sign of perfection, however, we as humans aren’t perfect, and we don’t live in a perfect world. We’ll, that’s what we’re told, and if that’s true, then perfection as it relates to other people and places, may in fact, be an unreachable ideal. The key phrase being, “as it involves other people and places.”
Virgo, partially because it’s an earth sign, is not supportive of abundance or expansion, which makes sense because the more we add on and branch out, the more we realize the need to let go because we can’t control every little thing.
But, just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, perfection, as it applies to you personally, becomes reachable. The world might be imperfect, but your world doesn’t have to be.
Some of us might not have a choice now when it comes to change, meaning the end of something soon only to begin again might happen despite our efforts to prevent it. We might not be able to preserve or extend the life of something because it’s out of our control.
A house, for example, might continue to crumble over and over again until we figure out the secret to an indestructible foundation. Why do you think every empire in human existence that rose to power eventually crumbled and fell?
The clock-time itself is a test. Things that aren’t real, natural, true, or created with sincerity will not last. They won’t stand the test of time, and believe me, time will not hesitate to show us this lesson over and over until things are done the “right way.”
The advice I’m giving for this new moon is to start small. Pick up whatever pieces the last moon cycle left you with, and move forward. Research, gathering information, and truth are highly favored now.
Virgo is mutable earth, which should be a reminder that the way through this time is with an open mind. Listen more instead of talking and sort of feel your way through.
I never had a lot of friends because I never wanted a lot of friends. I didn’t want to be around fake, pretentious people. I’d rather have a small group of 5 people who I know are good and who I know will be there when I need them the most.
It’s quality over quantity.
Thanks again for visiting Nooz Buffet, and I’ll see you all at the next full moon.
I’m super-duper excited to make this announcement. So, on September 14th, which is this Thursday, I’m going to launch-for the first time ever, premium content. Premium content is content that you will have to purchase.
What is it?
After having much success picking the winners of college football games, I’ve decided to write a Big 10 college football weekly preview. This weekly preview will cost $8, and it will included an in-depth game-by-game analysis for every Big 10 game that’s being played for that particular week. In addition, I will offer my winning picks, and my picks versus the spread.
I’ve been working hard on this project, and I’m taking it seriously. I know there are a lot of sites out there on the internet, and it seems like nowadays, every Tom, Dick, Harry, and Hillbilly with a beard is offering an opinion about college football, but trust me, no one will be able to compete with what I’m going to offer.
And it’s for that reason, that I must charge a small fee.
Which brings me to my second point..
On the 21st of this month, Nooz Buffet will be celebrating its 5th year on the internet! Can you believe that? I can’t. I remember, it was in 2018, and of course I was out of work, but I saw the advertisement to start a website using WordPress, and I just wanted to do it. I was motivated and ready to run my own site.
Man, does time fly.
Here we are, it’s about to be exactly 5 years later, and I’m still writing. I know there are websites using WordPress that have 1,000s of followers, but I’m proud of the progress we’ve made here. We started with a blank canvas and zero followers.
I’ve written 1,101 articles since 2018, and our published word count is almost at 400,000 words! That’s a lot of writing. Over the years, I’ve endured all the associated costs with keeping this website alive, and I’ve provided some pretty amazing content. It was never about the money. This website was outlet for me, and I enjoyed it for that.
Before I decided to charge for content, I wanted to make sure that it was content worth buying. I believe my Big 10 college football weekly preview will be worth buying.
With so much focus, attention, and preparation going into this Big 10 college football weekly preview, there might be a decline in the production of astrological work, but that will only be for the duration of the football season.
I would still like to publish my bi-monthly Moon Scope articles, and so, that’s what I’m going to strive for.
I’m looking forward to the launch of this new project, and our anniversary on the 21st, and I hope you are too!
As you know, I love and appreciate all of you. Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet, and thank you for your support.
I’ve been a college football fan since 1994, and I’ve been a Buckeye football fan since 1995. Pac-12 football will forever be in my memory as a football conference that infused college football with tradition, spirit, and great football.
I don’t know the details surrounding the situation of everyone deciding to jump ship, but I have respect and appreciation for OSU and WSU for their decision to stay put.
WSU and OSU are now faced with a decision. Do they jump ship, or do they hold it down and go down in history as the “2” that rebuilt the Pac-12?
Personally, I hope they rebuild the conference.
I’m not an investor, and I have no influence in college football, but I love the game. If I can help in anyway, weather it’s writing a letter, or providing research, I would be more than happy to help.
I don’t even have to go crazy trying to prove it, because my Big 10 previews were posted yesterday.
I wrote a solo review for the Ohio State and Youngstown game, because I’m a Buckeye fan, and I picked Ohio State to win by 28 points. They won 35-7!
At this point, I’m waiting to see what Wisconsin does tonight. I picked the Badgers in a close one, but to recap..
I said Penn State was going to win by a lot, they won 63-7.
I said Nebraska was going to play hard, but lose a close one. Nebraska lost by 22, but it was a hard fought game, and a lot closer than the score reveals.
I said Michigan was going to win big. They were up 28-0 with 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter the last time I checked.
If Wisconsin wins tonight, I’ll be a perfect 5-0 for week 2!
Delaware, 1-0 vs. (7)Penn State, 1-0: The Penn State Nittany Lions are riding the high from last week’s big win over West Virginia, 38-15, and Delaware might be stepping in front of a freight train here. Delaware has talent and big play potential, but will it be enough? Penn State has a monster at the QB position. The 6’5″ 245 pound sophomore, Drew Allar, threw for 325 yards and 3 touchdowns last week, and he brings these awesome memories back to Happy Valley of Kerry Collins. WR, KeAndre Lambert-Smith is the go-to-guy. Defensively, the 6’1″ 240 pound linebacker, Curtis Jacobs patrols the second level looking to take away Delaware’s potent ground game.
Nebraska, 0-1 vs. (22)Colorado, 1-0: After a 13-10, heartbreaking loss last week to Big 10 rival, Minnesota, Nebraska suddenly finds themselves in a serious situation. Colorado is nationally ranked, and to make matters worse, Nebraska is traveling to Boulder. If the Cornhuskers can’t find a way to steal one on the road this week, it’s going to be tough for them rebound from an 0-2 start, especially with the Wolverines coming to town at the end of the month.
UNLV, 1-0 vs. (2)Michigan, 1-0: Last week, Michigan dominated East Carolina offensively and defensively, and they look to do the same thing to UNLV this weekend. Michigan RB, Blake Corum, is averaging 7.3 yards per carry, which gives Michigan the ability to extend drives and control the clock. Michigan’s defense was spectacular last week as they held the Pirates to just 235 yards of total offense! The unit also forced 5 punts, and didn’t allow a touchdown!
(19)Wisconsin, 1-0 vs. Washington, 1-0: Wisconsin’s game last week against Buffalo will be a walk in the park compared to what they’re about to face. Washington look good in their win over Colorado State. The final score was 50-24, but Colorado State put only 3 points on the board until the 4th quarter. It was a 29-3 ballgame heading into the 4th quarter. Cougars QB, Camron Ward, threw for 451 yards and 3 touchdowns! It’s not going to be an easy, but the Badgers must find a way to contain Ward.
Final Thoughts and Predictions
Penn State is going to win by a lot.
Nebraska is going to play hard, but lose another close one.
