2009-10 Bowl Mania

You know the deal. Tell me why I’m wrong in the comments and leave any/all of your picks there too.

34. Emerald: Boston College-Southern Cal
Skinny: USC has superior talent, more experienced coaches and home field advantage. Maybe Jeff and Brian can take a mancation from their wives and give me a reason to feel good about BC’s chances.

33. Sugar: Florida-Cincinnati
Skinny: The Gators could very well be the second best team in the country and Urban Meyer will have them motivated. It’ll be interesting to see if Tony Pike can carve up the Florida defense and secondary.

0b100000. Orange: Iowa-Georgia Tech
Skinny: The Ramblin’s Wreck is gaining 307 rushing yards a game while the Hawkeyes are only allowing 122 rushing yards a game.

31. Liberty: Arkansas-East Carolina
Skinny: Ryan Mallet is only second to D’Angelo Barksdale when it comes to slingin’ the rock.

30. Hawaii: Nevada-SMU
Skinny: June Jones will be too busy watching his back to focus on the game.


I hope there’s a Thuggie under everyone’s tree on Christmas Eve.

29. BCS MNC: Texas-Alabama
Skinny: All year long Texas has tiptoed through a Nancy of a schedule, while Alabama has taken some of the best behind the woodshed. Alabama’s experience and grit will give them the edge in a close championship game. Continue Reading “2009-10 Bowl Mania” »

Iron Bowl (ALA 39-33-1) Alabama 23 @ Auburn 17 – In traditional with Black Friday the main course will be served before all the appetizers today. Auburn will be able to move the ball, but the Tide defense will prove too tough and Mark Ingram too consistent.

Virginia Tech @ Maryland – If you’re looking for a preview of the game you won’t find that here. If those are things of interest to you then check out Gobbler Country’s What to Watch or Testudo Times. The only thing that matters in this fashion show game is that the Hokies win so I win a blogger bet with our friends at Girls Don’t Know Sports. The winner of said bet gets to defile the other’s banner atop their blog which will remain in place for a week. Please don’t fuck this up Hokies.

divine Divine Predictions – Week 4

This is a weekend of under cards, but let’s take a look at the inner beauty.

Florida State 28 @ North Carolina 26 – To date this is the least exciting Thursday night game of the season. FSU is fighting for bowl eligibility and North Carolina needs a big win at home to feed their fan base. The ‘Noles have proven they can put up points while North Carolina has struggled  to find their groove. FSU’s defense has been suspect, but is good enough to hold the Heels in check.

South Florida 13 @ Pittsburgh 20 – Don’t punch me in the balls Wanstache.

Georgia Tech 27 @ Virginia 17 – From here on out, for obvious reasons, I’ll have my eye on Georgia Tech. For those who turn a blind eye to ACC football, Virginia Tech needs our engineering brethren in the Dirty to lose so we control our own destiny in the ACC again. The Jackets haven’t won in Charlottesville since 1990, but unfortunately their offense will be too much for the Cavs to handle. They’ll grind out the clock and UVA will waste half of their precious possessions.

Boston College 27 @ Notre Dame 30 – Brian and Jeff took some time away from knitting new tights for dance class to take a look at the history between the Eagles and Irish. The Eagles are riding a six game winning streak into South Bend, but we’re picking the Irish because Boston College has been outscored 21-73 on the road this year. The winner will receive representation in the Jesus graphic above. Current Jesus Cup standings have been provided for your convenience.

Cincinnati 30 @ South Florida 21 – I’m taking Cinci because of Tony Pike, Tony Pike and Tony Pike. He’s been a machine and the Bearcats have won on the road in a tougher venue (Corvallis, Oregon [St]). I’ll be focused on the play of B.J. Daniels and how he responds playing in his first major home game. The boys in green over at Sparty like Cinci too.

Oklahoma 38 versus Texas 31 – I haven’t been impressed with Texas lallygagging against Wyoming, Texas Tech and Colorado. I have a man-crush on Sam Bradford; respect the golf skills. On the outside (and I stress outside) chance VT runs the table we’ll need helping getting to the MNC and a Sooner win would be just that. So my pick is based 25% with my head and 100%heart, because I’M ALL HEART BABY. And for shits and grins: know your rivalry.

divine Divine Predictions – Week 4

Nebraska 23 at Mizzou 21 – Let’s get frisky! Corn Nation and Rock M Nation are betting taglines on the outcome. Orson has this bitch factored and it’s not not looking good for the Huskers or, well, maybe it is… I like Nebraska because I saw man-child Roy Helu Jr. conquer the souls of eleven Virginia Tech defenders almost three weeks ago.

Auburn 38 at Arkansas 31 – It’s goin’ be a shootout in Fayetteville. I give the edge to Auburn because they can put up points, and they’ll play better defense.

Michigan 30 @ Little Brother 28 – The Wolverines are a little dinged up and on the road, but they’ve done one thing Sparty hasn’t, figured out how to win games.

LSU 16 @ Georgia 28 – I wouldn’t be totally surprised if LSU blew past Georgia like a freight train. With The Hat as the conductor anything is possible. I feel more comfortable picking Georgia, because they’ve won close games and they’re home (even though statistically they’re better on the road).

Florida State 24 @ Boston College 17 – GameDay is going to be there (check out the answers to the last question for opinions), but in the end FSU comes out as Jekyll, or is it Hyde, and gets a must have win.

Synecdoche, East Lansing

Hello, I hate you.

Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true.
You see a team that is 4-0 against a team that is 1-3.
You see a ranked team apparently on the verge of some great season.
You see a team that is disappointingly staring their entire season in the eye in only week 5.
