You didn’t ask for it, but you are getting it anyway. Without further ado, welcome to your whirlwind tour of stuffs for your reading pleasure. Final Bowl Record My final Bowl record (against the spread mind you) was a respectable 19-12, good for 61%. It is never a good thing when the Gators win, but [...]

Red-faced Braves

Please tell me that the Braves are not going to let Smoltz tarnish his career by signing with the Red Sox. It was bad enough when the Braves let Galvine skip town to the Mets, but Smoltz to Boston is f’ing ridiculous.

Good grief! It has been a long Bowl season, but it finally comes to this … FedEx BCS National Championship: #2 Florida (12-1, 7-1 SEC) vs. #1 Oklahoma (12-1, 7-1 Big 12). SEC vs. Big 12 to determine the top dog, and to end the debate for the best conference. Or does it? The Pac-10 [...]

The penultimate edition! Last night I lost against the spread, but no matter, I will always take a Texas win. Good thing for Ohio St. fans; they actually showed up for a Bowl game. Now all the talk will begin about how Ohio St. was not such a completely shitty team; anything to make the [...]

I have always had feeders, and of course have enjoyed the birds that frequent the yard. Then of course came the squirrels … err tree rats. [...]

Or the Go Falcons! Edition. How can I be so right, yet so wrong? The Red Raiders proved that they were not so hot, getting handily corralled at the hands of the Rebels from Oxford. Kentucky showed me that I should not pick against the SEC, and that they where not in the same piss [...]

Yesterday was a solid 3-2 day with a healthy serving of Bulldogs and another Big Ten whipping. Today we get three more games … Cotton Bowl: #25 Mississippi (8-4, 5-3 SEC) vs. #7 Texas Tech (11-1, 7-1 Big 12). Ole Miss is getting 4.5, and this is the game where Texas really goes “WTF happened?” [...]

Or the Happy New Year Edition! Yesterday was a banner day, as I got 3 out of 4 picks correct, moving me back over .500 for the first time in a while. Thanks to Houston for covering, Oregon St. squeaking by in a (good grief) 3-0 game, and congratulations to Vanderbilt for winning a bowl [...]
