2018 Pick’ Em

Week 14 Review

Mon, 03 Dec 2018 10:42:00 -0500

Well, the college football regular season is over and that means we�ll be transitioning to Bowl Mania. But first, let�s recap what happened. What a great story for Alabama�s Jalen Hurts coming in to replace Tua Tagovailoa in the SEC Championship game and winning it. After all that man has been through this whole season, it was very fitting. The game may have given Alabama fans hemorrhoids, but I feel for the ...

Week 13 Review

Mon, 26 Nov 2018 09:59:00 -0500

There were a lot of big wins and a lot of shockers over the Holiday weekend and now conference championship games begin this weekend. And now Wendi doesn�t get to eat her special breakfast. Michigan�s revenge tour ran out of gas in Columbus, Ohio after getting throttled 62-39 by the Buckeyes. Ohio State came out the gate swinging and Michigan�s stout defense had no answers for the underneath crossing routes which ...

Week 12 Review

Mon, 19 Nov 2018 09:55:00 -0500

Week 12 Review Rivalry week is finally here�but that also means college football is soon coming to a close. But let�s recap what happened in Week 12. 10 th ranked Ohio State and Maryland went into overtime and the Buckeyes prevailed 52-51 in a thriller only because Maryland went for the win on a two point conversion attempt that failed. And now this sets the stage for a top 10 match-up between ...

Week 11 Review

Mon, 12 Nov 2018 11:15:00 -0500

Rivalry weekend cannot get here fast enough. But in the meantime�. Maybe it�s just me, but it took Clemson an awfully long time to finally smash in Boston College. Don�t get me wrong, the Boston College offense went nowhere against Clemson�s stout D. But Boston College showed you a glimpse of what could happen when Clemson�s offense showed up against a real live defense. And as long as Pitt wins one more ...

Week 10 Review

Mon, 05 Nov 2018 10:15:00 -0500

And now the real fun has begun as conference championship races begin to take shape. NOBODY beats Penn State like THAT! The Michigan Defense put on a defensive clinic by holding Penn State to 186 total yards in that 42-7 bludgeoning. However, there�s this wee little issue standing in Michigan�s way of clinching the B1G East. That�s Ohio State�who got their nose bloodied by Nebraska. Sure, the Buckeyes won, but it took ...

Week 9 Review

Mon, 29 Oct 2018 09:49:00 -0400

Week 9 Review It�s the week of Halloween where the majority of us will act dumb and do crazy things. But don�t go trick-o-treating at the door of the University of Texas Football team. You�ll get the trick each time. Yeah, I perhaps bought into the fact that maybe, MAYBE they�d really play well because of this play-off thingy and being ranked #6 and all. But sadly, I was wrong. My wife, ...

Week 8 Review

Sun, 21 Oct 2018 13:43:00 -0400

Week 8 As I sit here sipping on my cold iced coke and eating my home cooked breakfast and ponder on yesterday�s game all I can say right now is HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And yes I had to say it that many times because not only did I sleep well but I woke up laughing because for the 3 rd straight year, Ohio State has lost to an unranked team BADLY! And just at the beginning of ...

Week 7 Review

Mon, 15 Oct 2018 11:29:00 -0400

Admit it. This is why you love college football. There is no other sport like it in the world that is constantly full of surprises and upsets. And week 7 did not disappoint. So what happened around the country? Beginning in the B1G, #8 Penn State lost a 21-17 heart breaker to an unranked Michigan State team. The Spartans always seem to upend a highly ranked Big 10 team each year. The ...

Week 6 Review

Mon, 08 Oct 2018 09:56:00 -0400

What you are about to read is based on a true story. Some of the names and timelines have been changed to protect the privacy of the victims. So on "Friday� night late in the 4 th qtr for the FSU and Miami, Wendilyn calls Adam Levine to talk to her child Samuelina. As Adam Levine picks up the phone, she can hear Samuelina crying in the background. Adam Levine quickly rushes her off the phone and ...

Week 5 Review

Mon, 01 Oct 2018 09:53:00 -0400

Really Penn State? That�s what you came up with on 4 th and 5 trailing 27-26? A zone read up the middle after Ohio State has been stuffing the run ALL NIGHT? It�s not the play call that has me scratching my head but after TWO timeouts, this was the BEST play that they came up with. Penn State�s McSorley was on fire all night and the coaching staff took the ball out of ...

Week 4 Review

Mon, 24 Sep 2018 11:55:00 -0400

What the (bleep) was that Virginia Tech? You�re the number 13 ranked team in the country and lost to Old Dominion who hadn�t won a game to that point? Yeesh. As of now, the ACC is a hot pile of garbage. We know Clemson is the top dog in the conference� but quick, name the second best team in the ACC? Yeah, it�s time to push the panic button if you said Duke ...

Week 3 review

Mon, 17 Sep 2018 10:46:00 -0400

Week 3 I think there is no denying FSU�s fate this year. After the performance at Syracuse, I think the whole "Dora the Explorer turnover backpack� idea needs to be thrown out. And in case some of you may have missed it, unlike Miami�s turnover chain, they have a turnover "bag� or "backpack� or whatever you want to call it. Whatever it is, it�s just not working. I am only thinking they can ...

Week 2 Review

Mon, 10 Sep 2018 09:04:00 -0400

Let�s get this out of the way first�.Clemson is going undefeated. As long as the team doesn�t take a dump, the only challenge they�ll get from here on out will be in the ACC Championship game. In the loss, Texas A&M may have stumbled across the blue print in to beating this year�s version of the Tigers by bombing away on the secondary. Aggie quarterback Kellen Mond had the game of ...

Week 1 Review

Tue, 04 Sep 2018 10:00:00 -0400

The first weekend of college football is in the books and it failed to disappoint. Needless to say, it�s refreshing that college football is back. There were some mild upsets across the country and also some near misses. Such is life though during season openers as teams begin working out the kinks. Outside of Clemson, the ACC flagship programs faltered over the weekend. Top ranked Miami was a big bag of ...
