5 for the weekend

20-19-1 on the season. Here is 5 for friday/saturday games
Friday
Alabama @ Auburn(+11.5) 2:30 CBS. Same as last week. Take the home team dog. It's messed up but Bama does't need this game one bit to go to the National Title game.

Pitt (-2) @ West Fucking Vrigina 7 ESPN2 Eh, I feel Bill Stewart is that bad of a coach to never bet on him.
Saturday
Clemson @ South Carolina (+3) 12 ESPN. I think South Carolina wins outright.

Oklahoma State(+10) @ Oklahoma 12:30 FSN. Bedlam. Don't be totally fooled by the line. Oklahoma State looks set on playing Zach Robinson despite him being less than healthy, still I'll take the points here.

Georgia @ Georgia Tech(-7.5) 8 ABC. I think Tech makes it two in a row.

Fighting = SEX

"I think the laws concerning fighting should be similar to those regarding sex. If two consenting adults want to duke it out, why should it be a crime? Stupid, yes: criminal, no."

This point was brought to my attention earlier and it falls in line with my opinions of fights. If two people want to throw down to blow off some steam they should be allowed to. The cops can watch because everyone enjoys a good scrap. When the fight becomes out of hand then you can intervene. Fights are dangerous, but they are usually no reason for someone to go to jail. If there are willing participants in fights or sex, no one should go to jail.

There should be no " I regret doing that so I'll press charges" This can apply to someone who just got their ass whopped in a fight or a woman who got so drunk that she slept with an ugly dude. People make mistakes, it's life. Learn from them and move on.

1..2..

Rich Rodriguez and the Michigan program are down on the mat right now. They are facing an impending count of 3 by the fans and the decision makers. I'm am not sure if things are going to be all right. I still believe, but this thing is in doubt. This off season will be be tougher than the last two, even though that doesn't seem possible. There is plenty to build upon as many youthful players return. The main stream media, the bandwagon fans, and a rouge faction in athletic department have called for our fearless leaders head. Will someone tell them that we don't want to end up like Notre Dame. We don't want to be waiting to return to glory for 16 years and counting. We don't want to be jumping from coach to coach and condeming the program to constant rebuilding phases. (This is not meant to mean that Davie or Willingham should not have been fired but rather that if Michigan fires Rich Rod they will have to rebuild agian) In 2010, Rodriguez will have Michigan off the mat and hulking up into a super power or he will have been pinned. I think he gets up and all he needs next year is a winning record. 7-6 buys him another year and a chance to make a big splash in 2011. He's been underseige since he's been hired and will be for the next two years most likely. It is at this time that the jury will likely come to a decision.

5 for Saturday

17-17-1 on the season.

Ohio State @ Michigan(+12.5) Noon ABC. My heart's in this one. I am finally attending my first "The Game". Beware of a desperate football team.

LSU @ Ole Miss(-4) 3:30 CBS. I am not sold on LSU and I haven't been all year. Perhaps Ole Miss is hitting their stride.

Cal @ Stanford (-7) 7:30 Versus. This should be a good one but lets stick with the horse that beat USC.

Kansas State(+16) @ Nebraska 7:45 ESPN. Kansas State should be able to keep it close because Nebraska isn't going to dominate offensively.

Oregon @ Arizona(+6) 8 ABC. I kinda think Oregon will win, so I'll go the other way and hope Zona can at least cover.

Show and Blow

While the title might indicate something that sounds like a sexual encounter, it is the name of a policy at Wisconsin. See when you live in Madison, Wisconsin, you drink alot. Students were showing up to the football games heavily intoxicated. Huh, I'm stunned. Anyways the university got tired of it and began throwing the heavily intoxicated out, only to see them come back shit faced again next week. The school then made it a policy to have those who were thrown out of a game once in the season to show their ticket, and blow into a breathalyzer. So "Show and Blow" isn't as fun as it sounds.

5 for Saturday

3-2 Last Week gets me back on track. 14-15-1 for the season.

Iowa @ Ohio State (-16.5) 3:30 ABC. Have the wheels come off without Stanzi?

Miami @ North Carolina (+3.5) 3:30 ESPN. Butch Davis owns his former team.

Stanford(+11) @ USC 3:30 FSN. I'm going against the public here.

Utah(+19.5) @ TCU 7:30 CSTV. Maybe Utah can keep it close.

Notre Dame(+7) @ Pitt 8 ABC. Charlie your job is likely on the line.

Dropping the Knowledge: Watershed Event

It's a breakthrough moment that changes the current path you are on. It is most likely a reference to Moses parting the Red Sea. A watershed event is finally getting with that hot sorority girl and then you go on to do work that would make a pimp proud. It's a spark that ignites into a fire. Can you think of a watershed moment that you have had?

5 for Saturday

Ok, well I shit the bed last weekend. 0-5 brings me to 11-13-1 on the year.

LSU @ Bama (-9) 3:30 CBS. I'm not sure if Bama can score enough but I'm not to impressed with LSU this year.

OSU @ Penn State (-3.5) 3:30 ABC. First of all it's downright shocking that this is not a night game. I think Penn State has the better offense and will win so I'll take them to cover.

Oregon @ Stanford (+5.5) 3:30 FSN. Let down?

FSU (+8.5) @ Clemson 7:45 ESPN With Andrews announcing his retirement effective at year's end, I'm betting that he performs better as DC for the rest of the year.

Oklahoma @ Nebraska (+6) I think Oklahoma will win but I'm going to the game with a Nebraska fan so I'll take the Huskers here. I'll have a full report on the game next week in this space.

The Commuter State

You like it for everything its not. New Jersey does not seem over crowded despite being the most populous state per square mile. It is not congested like New York City or Philadelphia.


No one says lets go visit New Jersey, but to you its a great location. You can regularly visit all the places you like, but couldn't stand to live in. New Jersey is a hotbed to reside in the vibrant northeast. So while New Jersey is hated on constantly, people need to respect it for what it is.
