Weekend Picks

So for a Saturday that does not include Illini football, i haven't really paid too much attention this week. So here are 5 college picks based on no research, pure gut ( u can expect a lot of this):

Pittsburgh (PK) over Iowa - just because somebody has to win right?? Game is at Pittsburgh, Iowa has a quarterback controversy with 2 quarterbacks that nobody else would want. I also picked this because over the years Wannie has lost me so much money, that I almost want to blame him for me being home on a Friday night Blogging. He has to pay off sometime

Michigan State (-9.5) over Notre Dame - Javon Ringer could actually rush for 1000 yards in this game. State will not fumble 7 times, including 2 inside the 20 for the douches. On a side note, don't people have enough ammo against Jimmy Clausen, so why have that hair cut? Whenever he takes his helmet off I feel like he should be wearing a skinny tie, standing behind a synthesizer in a bad 80's euro-pop video. Clausen's hair alone pushed this line from (-6) out of pure hatred.

Fresno State (-7) over Toledo - Doesn't it feel like there are way too many colleges in Ohio? If pretty much everyone from there goes to OSU, does that mean that people are actually coming to OHIO from out of state? Fresno is a good team, should be easy cover.

Boise State (+10.5) over Oregon - I know I always love the Ducks, but I am partial to Boise "fuck that blue turf bullshit" State. Oregon loses there starting QB again this year, but they don't have a Jonathan Stewart to ride.

LSU (-3) over Auburn - I just want a good game in primetime this week, I like LSU, I feel like this is the team that Zook is praying to put together with speed everywhere. I think there longsnapper ran a 4.5 in high school.


Random thoughts:

My mom is in India and I tried to call her today, I think I am still dialing. Her phone number was 011 988 72 Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B,A 62. Did they give all 1 billion Indians cell phones? This is why indian kids are so good with numbers, because they have to remember 27 just to call home.

I really want there to be another pro athlete named D'Brickashaw. Just so we have to specify which one we are talking about. "D'Brickashaw played a great game lastnight." to which the reply would be "Which D'Brickashaw?"

Why do people in the 2nd inning ask if seats are taken in the Bleachers when there is clearly 1000 people standing behind them? "No asshole, we were actually saving these seats for you and your spikey haired friend so you could take your shirts off and talk on your cell phone all game." There were actually only 7 cubs fans in the bleachers today who heard the crack in the universe today that occurred when Adam Kennedy hit a Grand Slam in the 1st.

Does anyone still have friends named Pookey, and Ray-Ray and them? Didn't think so. Time to actually be creative Stuart Scott.
