Bored on Tuesday

I'm between phone calls so I thought I'd post really quick.

#1   7-3 on the picks for the week. Will take one of the losses since it was the Falcons beating the Lions. 53-30-1 for the year. 63%. Not too bad.

#2   Will someone call South Bend Indiana and let them know that Notre Dame football is irrelevant? They were saying Saturday night that if ND could win they could still get into a BCS game. A depleted USC team dominated ND in South Bend at night. Imagine what Andrew Luck will do to that defense. Please go away now.

SIDENOTE- what genius made ND a 9.5 point favorite? Should've called as Lock of the Year #4.

#3   Anybody besides me sick of seeing Cam Newton celebrate? Cam, you're a QB in the NFL. Act like it.

#4   Albany's Josh Broadaway has 1 event left on the Nationwide Tour to automatically get his PGA Tour card w/o having to go to Qualifying School. Top 25 automatically qualify. He starts the week 27th after being up to 12th 5 weeks ago. Play hard Josh.

#5   On the way back from Atlanta yesterday I passed an SUV w/UGA flags heading down I-75. AWFULLY early to be heading to Jville. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

#6   Speaking of Jville, thought I'd put this up to start getting you in the mood(like you're not already).

Early line....... Dogs minus 2.5.

Have a great week.

Week 8 Picks

Post by William

First losing weekend last week, 4-6. Got screwed by the 1/2 point when Spurrier takes a safey at the end of the game. 44-27-1 for the year.

Here are the picks. Picks are in ALL CAPS

MIAMI(Home) minus 3 vs Ga Tech

Florida St(Home) minus 18 vs MARYLAND

Arkansas minus 16 vs OLE MISS(Home)

CLEMSON(Home) minus 10.5 vs North Carolina

Oklahoma St minus 7 vs MISSOURI(Home)

ALABAMA(Home) minus 30 vs Tennessee

Notre Dame(Home) minus 9 vs USC

LSU(Home) minus 21.5 vs Auburn

NEW ORLEANS(Home) minus 14 vs Indianapolis

DETROIT(Home) minus 3 vs Atlanta

Week 7 Picks

Post by William

Heard something very interesting yesterday. Vegas is taking a beating on college football this year. They can't make the lines high enough. A guy from Caesar's said that if you had bet the Top 10 teams each week and gave the points, you would be winning over 70% for the year.

Here are the picks for the week. 40-21-1 for the year. Picks are in ALL CAPS.

FSU minus 13 vs Duke(Home)     If they can, FSU will hit 70    First time since 1982 a team from Florda not ranked

GEORGIA TECH minus 7.5 vs Virginia(Home)      I think last week was a wake up call for Tech. Still, be very careful

SOUTH CAROLINA minus 2.5 vs Miss St(Home)     This doesn't mean that I'm not all in on Miss St. Just don't think Miss St can score

SIDENOTE-    Anybody besides me REALLY want Garcia to tell everything he knows about the Gamecock program? I know some people will say he will be spewing sour grapes, but what does he have to lose? He's already graduated and he's unhireable in South Carolina anyway.  I bet he knows alot he could tell.

LSU minus 16 vs Tennessee(Home)     Tennessee could barely score against UGA. Now they've lost their QB and they're  playing one of the  best D's in the country.

Florida minus 2 vs AUBURN(Home)     This started at Florida PLUS 2. Now Auburn is getting points at home at night playing against a #3 QB and several other QBs. Auburn helps the Dogs again.

SIDENOTE- I've been asked to say something about the NCAA clearing Auburn in the Cam Newton investigation. Don't have much to say. Congratulations. Don't think we've heard the end of it though. Anybody think Miss State paid Cecil, Cam goes to Auburn and now Miss State can't squeal? Just a thought.

ALABAMA minus 25.5 vs Ole Miss(Home)      Bama just playing along until the November 5th "Game of the Century".

Oklahoma St minus 7.5 vs TEXAS(Home)        Upset alert

GEORGIA minus 11 vs Vandy      If you're a big boy football team, you  come out ready to play, put Vandy away early, play clean, manhandle them, and get out of town. Wouldn't it be nice to see a good solid performance before the off week before traveling to Jacksonville? Chances that happens? Yeah, that's what I thought too.

Atlanta(Home) minus 4.5 vs CAROLINA      Julio is out. Falcons look in disarray. They win but don't cover.

NEW ENGLAND(Home) minus 7 vs Dallas       Belichick vs Romo. See video below. Says it all.

A few more things.....

#1   In the poll Mike did about who should be UGA's next coach, here are the results...

Dan Mullen   26%

None of the above    16%

Brian vanGorder   14%

John Gruden   14%

Real happy you voters are not in charge of the program

#2   I REALLY want to try this but I think we would need EMTs on site. Has anybody tried this? If so, please let us know how it is.

#3   Good article on Albany's Josh Broadaway. Not a good start yesterday. 73. T121.

Have a great, safe weekend.

Is Spurrier pure evil or is it coming apart?

Spurrier goes off on columnist. Diversion from kicking Garcia off the team?? Garcia is gone.

Weekend Observations

Post by William

Watched ALOT of sports this weekend. A few observations....

#1   I hope everybody saw DWS grad Tony Zenon return opening kickoff of the 2nd half 72 yards for Ga Tech.

#2   Congrats to former Ga Tech golfer Bryce Molder for getting his first PGA Tour win yesterday in a 6 hole playoff vs former Valdosta State golfer Briny Baird. Briny Baird has won over $15 million in his career without a win. We're in the wrong business.

#3   So the Falcons come out last night and looked unbelievable on the first 2 drives, 140 yards, 2 touchdowns. Rest of the game, 111 yards. What happened to the playcalling after the first 2 drives? Terrible. Aaron Rodgers is really good but he doesn't play defense.

#4   Is there a problem developing in Athens? It looks like Crowell could be a problem. Don't like the way he handles himself during the game. I think that's what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket. The Vandy game is the true definition of a "Trap" game for the Dogs.

#5   I'm not sure why but the story below cracks me up.

6-3 on the picks going into tonight's game.

Have a good week.
