Good afternoon! Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet and welcome to the November 8, 2025, Edition of Nooz Now!

🎬 I don’t know if guys are familiar with the actor Steven Seagal, but I’ve been watching his movies since I was in middle school. 😅 If you know who he is, then I’m sure you understand why I’m laughing. He has taken on this legendary status over the years that, in my opinion, has actually surpassed any amount of credit or recognition he could possibly receive as an actor.

Like, who makes one movie per month? He did. Who would rather not use a script and just improvise for the duration of a two-hour movie? He would. 😅 He’s just that guy, and it’s freaking hilarious. I’ve never seen an actor completely dominate a fight scene in a movie. He never gets hit, and he’s never in danger of losing a fight. It’s incredible, and he has these kicks that, with very little speed, mobility, and range of motion, seem to send people flying through the air and through car windows and walls. I just watched, A Dangerous Man. It’s free on YouTube, so if you need a little laughter in your life and you have the time, check it out.

🏈 The NCAA College Football season is now in its eleventh week, and as far as the playoffs are concerned, things are heating up. I’m going to run down the list of the top twelve teams according to the AP Top 25 rankings. Ohio State is number one, and it looks like they’re going to beat Purdue. That game is in the fourth quarter, and the Buckeyes are winning 27-3. Indiana is number two and they just beat Penn State. #4 Alabama plays LSU this evening at 7:30, #5 Georgia beat Mississippi State 41-21, #6 Oregon just started their game against Iowa, #7 Old Miss is crushing The Citadel 42-0 in the fourth quarter, #8 BYU lost to #9 Texas Tech 29-7, #10 Notre Dame plays Navy tonight at 7:30, and #12 Virginia plays Wake Forest tonight at seven.

🌞🌗 Currently, the Sun is on the 16^th degree of Scorpio, and the Moon is on the 4^th degree of Cancer. The last quarter phase of the Moon is set for November 12^th.

📰 According to Spot on News dot com, a Brazilian town named Rio Bonito was just hit by a Tornado with 150 mph winds. Lots of destruction was reported, but I haven’t seen an injury a death total yet.

Former Ohio State Quarterback, Terrell Pryor, seems to be in a lot of trouble after driving erratically and running a red light just outside of Pittsburgh. Pryor’s actions behind the wheel caused a crash with another vehicle. I do believe there’s a civil suit pending.

A new study shows that solar panels are not as good for the environment as people think. In 15 to 20 years when they no longer work, they are going to be trashed and dumped somewhere where they’ll contaminate the ground soil and possibly our water.

Abigail Zwerner, the former Virgina teacher who was shot by a six-year-old student, was just awarded $10,000,000. A civil jury found the assistant principal ignored warning signs that could’ve possibly prevented this heinous act.

Alright, that about wraps up this edition of Nooz Now. Thank you for visiting.

College Football Week 8; Big Ten Preview and Predictions

October 13, 2025

Friends, fans, and followers, thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet. It’s now the eighth week of the college football season, and there’s so much going on within the Big Ten. There are nine games scheduled featuring teams from the Big Ten conference this weekend, and eight of those games are interconference games, while the ninth is the rivalry game between Notre Dame and USC.

The game between the Washington Huskies and the Michigan Wolverines was my pick for “Big Ten Game of the Week,” and that’s because there’s so much riding on it. Right now, Michigan is fighting to stay alive in the conference, and they’re fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive. It’s a must win for the Wolverines. If Washington wins, they’ll improve to 6-1 overall, 3-1 in the conference, and quite possibly appear back in the AP Top 25. Nebraska versus Minnesota will be another good game, and of course, the game between USC and Notre Dame. Man, those pollsters just can’t get enough of Notre Dame. What is the obsession?

Big Ten Game of the Week

Saturday, October 18^th

12:00 P.M.

Washington (5-1) @ Michigan (4-2)

The Washington Huskies are traveling to Ann Arbor this weekend to face the Wolverines. Since suffering their first loss of the season to Ohio State, the Huskies managed to put together back to back wins against Maryland and Rutgers. This weekend, Washington looks to extend that winning streak to three games, and a win against Michigan might be enough to propel them into the Top 25.

Michigan just took their second L of the season last week to USC, and the alarm is now sounding. Michigan has already fallen out of the Top 25, but a third loss would end any playoff hopes they might’ve had. The Wolverines are in a desperate situation with their backs against the wall. They can not lose at home this weekend.

Friday, October 17^th

8:00 P.M.

25 Nebraska (5-1) @ Minnesota (4-2)

Do you want to hear something crazy? If it wasn’t for a five-point-loss to Michigan on September 20^th, the Cornhuskers would be undefeated right now. Nebraska also just broke into the Top 25 at #25. Talk about flying under the radar. Holy crap.

Minnesota is home for this game, and the Golden Gophers are a good football team that’s well coached. Drake Lindsay is a decent quarterback. He’s fast, he can make plays with his feet, and he does have a strong arm. Wide receiver, Lemeke Brockington, can be hard to handle once he gets in space. Nebraska has their hands full here.

Saturday, October 18^th

3:30 P.M.

Purdue (2-4) @ Northwestern (4-2)

The Purdue Boilermakers are 2-4 after a week seven loss to Minnesota. Quarterback, Ryan Browne, completed 21 of 40 passes for 203 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. That’s not good, and that’s not a recipe for success, but there’s some hope. In that seven-point loss to Minnesota, running back, Devin Mockobee, rushed for 98 yards on 21 carries. Believe me, the players on this Purdue team are not depressed by their 2-4 record. They show up every week, they’re enthusiastic, and if they can have success running the football again this week with Mockobee, they have a chance.

Surprisingly, Northwestern is 4-2. This Wildcat team doesn’t give up, and they just had a huge win over Penn State last week. That’s three wins in a row now, and Northwestern is playing with confidence. They believe in themselves. I think Northwestern get win number five at home this weekend.

Michigan State (3-3) @ 3 Indiana (6-0)

We kind of knew Indiana was a good football team, but after last week’s victory over Oregon in Eugene, I think I need to reevaluate just how good this Hoosiers team is. Indiana is now 6-0 overall, 3-0 against Big Ten opponents, and they leaped to #3 nationally from #7. We always talk about Indiana’s offense and players like Fernando Mendoza, Roman Hemby, and Elijah Sarratt, but Indiana has a championship caliber defense.

It would really take a miracle for Michigan State to win this week. The Spartans are now 3-3 overall and 0-3 against Big Ten teams after last week’s demoralizing loss to UCLA. They started off good with three straight wins, but things changed immediately once the interconference games began, and it won’t be any easier this week.

1 Ohio State (6-0) @ Wisconsin (2-4)

Ohio State picked up their sixth win of the season last week after defeating Illinois 34-16, and in the process, those of us who watched the game, had an opportunity to witness just how great this Buckeye team is. Great, yes, that’s what they are, and they looked crisp, well oiled, and fine-tuned against an Illinois team that was ranked #17. Wisconsin was shut out at home by Iowa last weekend, and for the Badgers, getting back in the win column might not be a possibility until November 29^th when they play Minnesota because after the Buckeyes, they have Oregon, Washington, Indiana, and Illinois. Yikes!

6:30 P.M.

8 Oregon (5-1) @ Rutgers (3-3)

Wow, okay, so, the Oregon Ducks lost at home last weekend to Indiana and fell to #8 in the AP Top 25. Also, Oregon fell into this large group of teams in the Big Ten with one conference loss. Plain and simple, Indiana knocked the Ducks off of their high horse, and it was surprising to see. I expect Oregon to make an example out of Rutgers this week, and honestly, that’s the only way to get over a defeat like the one they just suffered. Rutgers is now 3-3, and after starting this season 3-0, they’re in what I call the bottom third of the Big Ten (I’ll tell you about that later in another article). Rutgers is at home this weekend, and the Scarlett Knights do play tough in New Jersey, but this is David versus Goliath. Athan Kaliakmanis to Ian Strong is still a thing, but will it be enough to make a difference? I doubt it.

7:00 P.M.

Penn State (3-3) @ Iowa (4-2)

Head Coach, James Franklin, was fired on Sunday, and quarterback, Drew Allar is out for the rest of the season with an injury. What in God’s name is going on in Happy Valley? Penn State beat Villanova 52-6, and everyone was talking about championships and playoffs. Things were going really well, and the Nittany Lions were as expansive as ever, but then, a devastating-six-point-loss to Oregon at home changed things. Here we are now in week eight, Penn State is now 3-3 overall after losing three straight games, and all the conversations about winning a national championship have seized.

Iowa, on the other hand, is 4-2, and they’re playing good football right now. The Hawkeyes only lost by five points to Indiana. They actually did better against Indiana than both Illinois and Oregon. Iowa seems to be peaking at just the right time, and they have some momentum behind them. A win this week at home against Penn State could open a lot of eyes-or a lot of Hawkeyes. 🤣

Maryland (4-2) @ UCLA (2-4)

Maryland lost at home to Nebraska last weekend, and UCLA won on the road against Michigan State. This week, it’s the 2-4 Bruins against the 4-2 Terrapins, and it kind of sounds funny to say this, but I think this is a game UCLA can win. The Bruins did not look like a 2-4 team last week. I don’t know where they’ve been hiding, but they’re out and about now.

7:30 P.M.

20 USC (5-1) @ 13 Notre Dame (4-2)

After suffering a heart breaking two-point loss to Illinois, USC responded with a huge win over the Wolverines at home last week. With that win, the Trojans improved their overall record to 5-1 and they’re now back on the national scene.

After losing the first two games of this season, the Fighting Irish fell off the map, but they’ve been consistent and persistent. Miraculously, after winning four straight, Notre Dame somehow reappeared in the Ap Top 25 at number thirteen! I mean, wow.

This is going to be an interesting game because Notre Dame’s first two loses were to Miami, who’s now ranked #2, and Texas A&M, who’s now ranked #4. In all actuality, Notre Dame might not be that bad, they just happened to draw two of the best teams in the country during weeks one and two. Um, and you know what? They lost to Miami by three and Texas A&M by one.

This week, Notre Dame will need another great performance from their defense. Against NC State last week, Notre Dame’s defense picked off three passes, they had four quarterback sacks, and they held the Wolfpack offense to just 51 yards on the ground. USC running back, King Miller, rushed for 158 yards and 1 touchdown on 18 carries against the Wolverines. That’s 8.8 yards per touch, and something the Fighting Irish must stop.

Mastery; Part 2

According to Barbara Hand Clow, Chiron itself is not mastery, it rules the way to mastery. In my birth chart, Chiron is located on the 9th degree of Taurus in the 10th House. That means the clues and the signs that will indicate the activation of Chiron, or the way to mastery, in my life will have something to do with bulls (Taurus) and 10th House issues like career and public reputation.

Not long ago, I had a dream. A group of bulls were confined to a circular space enclosed by a short barbed-wire fence. I was standing on the outside of this fence looking on. The bulls began to get restless and eventually put their lives on the line to break out of their imprisonment. I watched as the bulls endured a painful struggle. With nothing else to use, they used their bodies to break through the fence. The razor wire cut through their bodies, and some of them were temporarily entangled in the fence, but eventually they all broke free. As they ran for freedom, some of them looked at me with a smile on their faces.

Shortly after having that dream, I was reading from a manual that was describing the steps of basic ceremony. Calling in the elements was on the list, and the first element was earth. The manual said, when calling in the light and earth you should imagine a powerful bull arriving.

That’s when I put 2 and 2 together and connected what I was actually doing in this ceremonial ritual to the dream I just had. The dream confirmed that I had control over the earth element (senses), and that within me, I had the power to summon the light and earth from the north. It was also a sign that Chiron was now activated in my life and the way to mastery was finally beginning.

In Mastery Part 1, I introduced my audience to Planet Saturn, the Allen Key, and the Star of David, and how all three were connected by a hexagon. I also asked that you imagine yourself placing the Allen Key into the centers of the Star and the south pole of Sa “TURN” and turning the key. You have the power to loosen it or tighten it. From that vision we established a polarity. The Allen Key was positive or masculine, and the Star and Saturn were both feminine.

The Allen Key can be positioned in a way so that it resembles the number 7, and Saturn is the 7th planet from the Sun. Saturn is the God of Death, time, and karma. He is the limiter and the restrictor of the Zodiac. Saturn is about order and Saturn gives form to life. The terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) may be blocked off from the gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn) by the asteroid belt, but Saturn is the cutoff off point to “what’s beyond” form and our perceptions of life. In a sense, and I’ve made this comparison before, if the Milky Way was a prison, then Saturn is the warden.

What’s beyond Saturn are things we can only imagine, and that’s why imagination is so important. Intuition is beyond Saturn. The higher octaves of our terrestrial planets are beyond Saturn. Uranus (1700s), Neptune (1800s) , and Pluto (1900s) are beyond Saturn. Higher frequencies are beyond Saturn.

The powers to change the archetypal image of Man-Shepard, are beyond Saturn. And most importantly, your personal holographic life pattern lies beyond the confines of Saturn. That pattern ends or is completed when you die, and because only The Lord (Saturn) knows the date and time of that occasion, you’ll never get to see the complete image.

It’s like the dream I had, but the only difference is that we’re the bulls and the barbed-wire fence is Saturn.

The Allen Key is the reward, it’s the trophy, and it symbolizes mastery over life, which is actually mastery over death, and death, is Saturn. It can be acquire several ways I’m sure, but for the purpose of this lesson, it comes to you when you understand and figure out the meaning behind the Seal of Solomon, or the Star of David.

Because of the time we’re in right now, which is on the door step of the light half of the Grand Cycle, a gift has been dropped in our laps. The Key has already been placed in the center of the Star of David and in the center of the South Pole of Saturn, and both were loosened so that we could learn and understand who and what we truly are.

All you have to do is want to know.

In Mastery Part 3, we’ll begin with the Star of David.
