Dang Dude! Why didn’t you tell me you knew what you were doin’? Why you hafta go and put FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL in the mix? Get on the Oregon bandwagon, they’re still runnin’ all over the Devils….

Not bad picks this week. Also kudos to Ruffalo on his picks.

Go figure Ark State – get murdered by SMU (yes – SMU), then cover BIG against (on paper) superior FIU? Are all confernce games (no matte rthe conference) just that tough? On the other hand, BIG TEN goes to form.

And you didn’t want to take a bet on VANDERBILT (-33) vs. Temple?

…and if Michigan had not called of the jam that number would be well above 400.

I’m not sure which I’m most ashamed of:
A) I’m reading a website which references Roller Jam.
B) I got the Roller Jam reference immediately
C) I’m apparently willing to admit that I got the Roller Jam reference immediately.

That might have been the show whose entertainment value was more closely tied to one’s intoxication than any other in history.

That loud THUD you just heard was the sound of thousands of folks jumping off of the TCU bandwagon.

Tiburon!?

Just remember, million dollar views are dependent on million dollar picks.

At least there’s a good brew pub (with wickedly strong draughts) right by the ferry landing where you can drown your sorrows if the picks go awry. Good luck this weekend.

I thought that college football fans had learned to stay away from public libraries.

How could you not be in love with Oregon -1.5 at ASU? I also have GT +9, and I like Auburn -14, South Carolina is just a poor football team, Ohio st. -7, Iowa’s secondary will get abused in this one. Cal is a solid pick, and you are missing the boat by not going with Texas Tech +2.5

Considering Alabama isn’t playing Hawaii, I wonder if they can score more than 13 points.

How many times did Fla steal a SEC crown from the Tide? We have only played 3 times in 8 years. Don’t try to make it sound like we are owned by Bama. Bama still thinks it’s the 60’s and Bear is still on vacation. The truth is that Shula is lucky to have a job in Div. 1 – A. I saw where Bama is 1-3 against Arkansas. That’s hilarious.

It would be a slightly more impressive taunt, rtr old chap, if Bama had actually played UF in all the intervening years; ‘last three times they’ve met’ still isn’t bad, but it doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, not so?

Hey, if there’s a guy who deserves to pressure the booty this weekend, it’s Terry Hoeppner – he’s earned it. Too bad his team is so dreadful.

Hey, sometimes one blind squirrel is luckier than others. I bet the rest of ‘em really hate that guy.

Michigan is only 9.5 point favorites? They started at 4.5. Bet your house, children, and wife, and take out a loan from some “legitimate” Italian businessmen on this one. Michigan will win by at least 21, and I’m a Gophers fan. At least I’ve gotten to see the jug again for the 2nd time in my life.
