THE SPURIOUS PICKS COLUMN…
…is up over at the Sporting News, complete with horror movie theme. Yes, we’re picking Michigan State over Michigan. Sometimes you just want to go down in multicolored flames rather than the normal, mundane yellow and orange variety.

I soooo want to poor-mouth the Tide, thus currying favor with the football gods for the Miles-tone Game ™, but, truth be told, those purple-clad douchebags really frighten me.

We’ll be covering that plenty here in our own special way. Plus: Finebaum says Saban’s already leading, so we’re not touching a pick with a ten-foot pole.

The flames wouldn’t be yellow and orange, they’d be MAIZE and orange. Jeez.

Someone called into Finebaum yesterday and said they were eating at a restaurant in Red Stick, looked at the pictures on the menu and the food had bugs on it in the picture. Thought that was funny.

Just because Florida sucks ass this season doesn’t mean you have to dump on the Wolverines miracle run to another b10 championship.

#7…yes, hilarious….the food being prepared in Louisiana always being known as so disguisting.
Um, no.
Have you seen the waistlines at Tiger Stadium?
now go enjoy some truck stop white gravy and stop slurping Finebaum.

I don’t slurp finebaum, i thought one of his callers made a funny statement.
Go eat a fucking Iguana or whatever the hell you swamp people call food.

Sparty over the skunkbears? It’s November, a time for the Spartans to go quietly into the night. If a traditional MSU season could be described by major motion pictures, September’s Spartans would be Caddyshack, while November in East Lansing would be akin to Caddyshack 2.

Spooky, I think the word you’re looking for is “nutria.”

horror movies are a good analogy… Hmmm. ND vs. Navy might be something like “Halloween Five” or one of the later “Friday the 13th” movies:
laughingly bad, with no hope for anything good but you end up watching it because you’ve seen all the others and know what the predictable result will be.

I like the Spartans over UM too….although I’m kinda hoping it doesn’t happen as it would be absolutely hilarious to see a team that lost to Appalachian State (not to mention getting assraped at home by Oregon) win the Big Ten

And set up your BC- Kansas National Championship game.
That App State was another team then the one you see now. Sparty goes down BIG.

Nope, no nutria at Perry, from what I recall.
Fan of the steak and cheese panini at Einstein Bros., myself!
Oh, and fuck LSU.

Not one, but *two* Michigan blogs won the CK Award in the blogpoll this week. Aside from Florida the week they had a bye, and USC the week they played Notre Dame (same thing, really), the winner’s team has gone down in spectacular fashion the next week.
MSU’s late-season collapse usually has one WTF? win in there as well (see: Wisconsin ‘04, first weekend in November). We haven’t had it yet this year. And Purdue and PSU wouldn’t be WTF? wins (not unless they happen in crazy record-comeback fashion like the NW game last year).
Throw in the fact that it’s a major rivalry game for us, at home (where the overall series is pretty close), and you’d be insane to think MSU won’t at least keep it close. Especially if Henne doesn’t play, in which case Mallett may be re-enacting the Jimmy Clausen for Heisman video.

Orson,
Thats pretty funny shit.
What I like is the high brow comments after the article by mostly Oregon and OSU fans…those are funny.
I pray and hope OSU and the Ducks get whacked in the boathouse this weekend. Tired of hearing about them. If anything, at least put some bullets in tOSU’s chamber, since its been empty all year so far…..
I want this season to end with 2 teams with one loss in National Championship…. no one gets out alive…. I think Alabama is doomed since some talking heads have predicted Alabama to win it.
I want all pundits to pick LSU to win….by 14 at least…
I am sure LSU will miss Derrick “Aint No Punk Be-yotch”Odom…. will probaly see him on the Bengals roster or new realality
series…”Rollin with Claurett” where they get drunk and see how many times they can get arrested for gun possession and assault…on each other..

Dude, shouldn’t the Kansas movie be The Blob? There’s a 400lb man involved who’ll get more airtime than the cheerleaders.
Michigan State is getting a healthy dose of me this weekend.
