Re: LSU is bad...

LSU will hang around but I doubt they make it much further. Their next five opponents are a combined 21-1, four are ranked, and three are top 10. Indeed. I'm tired of them getting a pass. AND AND they STILL have a vote for #1. This is absurd. Absolutely absurd! It discredits ESPN, er um, I mean the...

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM 9-29

Poulter was great. Team USA played so well this week, it is just a shame they couldn't slam the door. You kind of had that feeling they were in trouble though after the finish on Saturday. Yeah,.and then the European sweep in the frontloaded early matches (vs. Watson, Simpson, Bradley, Mickelson) w...

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM 9-29

I can't believe the USA lost that lead. Unbelievable. :roll: I'm mostly surprised at Kuchar and Snedeker. Both were great with the putter the past couple of days but just collapsed today. Mickelson is always better in team play... I bet when Love put Tiger to anchor he was expecting the match would...

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM 9-29

This weekend I watched a team score 70 points and somehow not cover. For that matter I saw a team score 63 and not win. A buddy of mine who is bartender where I watched the start of that game (with a Philly steak :mrgreen: ) bet on West Virginia. My idle response was simply "What was the over/u...

Re: Week 5 Top 25 Upset Alerts

I'm not sure what to think of Oregon State. I was an early adopter putting them in my rankings, and they proved themselves against UCLA. Arizona meanwhile is still solid. Last week was more about Oregon being crazy good than their being awful. This game is a pick... Cinci-VT, I've been watching that...

Re: NFL Replacement Refs

Beyond just the fan disappointment and frustration at a crappy call, or series thereof - that MNF call reportedly shifted between $150-250 million in betting cash. When it comes to a quarter-billion of Vegas/overseas money on the line something is going to be made to budge somewhere.

Re: UCLA and Nebraska

Might be a worthy footnote to add that around here, we have UCLA ranked #21 after Week 2, while Nebraska is among the group of "others" outside the Top 25. :wink: In that case, I believe a significant portion of the advantage to our polling is due to the fact that most of us are less likel...

Re: Surprise!

Alas, we didn't get the expected Notre Dame loss, so this balances it out I guess. :P With as inconsistent as Michigan is, I fear that we may have to deal with the Irish and their Fighting at least until Stanford gets a chance at 'em next month. After I saw Syracuse hang entirely too close with USC,...

Re: Week 2 Top 25 Upset Alerts

And to cap it all last year's coulda/shoulda been #1 and this year's #10 on our poll Oklahoma State is going down to unranked Arizona.

Re: Florida State v. West Virginia v. Savannah St.

Well, the benchmark for FSU to turn this into a true victory is clear... gotta beat Okla St. 84-0 or bust.

Re: Week 2 Top 25 Upset Alerts

I have been bullish about Missouri this year. If there is an offense that will give Georgia fits this year, it's Missouri. I can't imagine the Tigers winning, but I can't imagine them losing by much. Crazy Pick UCF will beat the 14pt spread, but won't win over Ohio State Vegas had that OSU line tar...

CCR also had 'Bama losing to Michigan. As happens fairly often, Saturday night changed everything.

Re: Ohio is Going Undefeated

I can see them running the above schedule, then losing to a 10-2 NIU in the title game. Have to agree with Vileborg though, with as much as is working against Penn St, let's get them on the other side of Marshall before jumping on the wagon. Ohio got the job done taking advantage of the opportunity ...

Re: AND THE SEASON IS UNDERWAY...

I think if Robinson is on his game, they could go into the half tied, then 'Bama comes out and takes control in the 3rd quarter, finishes maybe 31-20. If Robinson gets pressured early, then he'll probably throw a crapton of picks and it's a blowout. The guy is just so inconsistent. He might have wha...
