Bowls:

12 - 7 overall  63%

6 - 1 Big Plays  86%




The Big Plays are hot.... Except for the Miami game. If BC wasn't canceled Big Plays would be 7-1... But oh well.

I deserved to lose the Miami game... For years I posted on here why Mark Richt was a idiot. I usually always do a good job avoiding the losers of our sport....But the only loser was me for picking Miami to win. Yeah Wisconsin has been bad this year.... Yeah Miami was pretty solid on the DL. But yeah..... Mark Richt is a loser. Maybe Mark Richt and that idiot TCU qb can get together and make the worlds dumbest most un athletic baby...

Sorry for anyone who followed the Miami game... that's on me.

As for me being on Cuse, there were several reasons and Ill try and recall them.  Yes, one reason was a new QB.  Who knows how he will do, but he has to cover a large spread in his first time as the full-time QB.  If he covered the 25, then he just beats me.  Another reason (and again forgive me if my memory is sketchy) is the Clemson defense had played 3 teams up to that point with the triple option and only one team with a viable QB that could exploit the secondary (Mond); I thought Dungy was capable of being the second.  I thought Cuse would score 21+ points so if a freshman QB in his first game full time could score 46+, then so be it.  

To touch on LoveCFB1's question in regards to Wis tomorrow being my largest bet, without getting into the x's and o's (which I think favor Wis), ill remind you of the Miami vs Boston College game.  I watched this game as I had BC +5 (or something in that area) and, I'm not sure if you watched or not, but when cameras were on the Miami sideline, these guys were all huddled up at the heater.....it was 37 degrees.  No one on the BC sideline was near the heater.  Tomorrow in NYC, it should be around 39 degrees and while Miami has been decent at home, they haven't fared so well away from their warm-weather stadium; I expect more of the same here.  Perhaps the sharps agree as I have them +4 and +165 ML whereas now its +2.5 and +120ish.

Going back to you, Boom, Jimmydafreaks favorite play of the bowl system is Clemson minus the points.  Says hes worried about a backdoor cover but Clemson will win and should win convincingly.  Also says Bama game over and Bama TTo are his favorite plays more so than Bama minus the points.  Just FYI.

Also, are you heading to Dallas by the way?  Wasnt planning on going to Miami if we went to the Orange bowl, but have never taken in a game at Jerry-World so looking forward to the experience.  I head there tomorrow then the national championship game in San Fran if the Tigers are victorious.  Good luck and Happy Holidays!



great call on Miami game


I haven't communicated with jimmy on here in maybe 2 or 3 years...  Do you know him personally?

Would love to hear from that guy... First time him and I ever spoke was when Bama beat the brakes off Clemson in the 08 kickoff game.... Loved his knowledge

Miami should be ashamed of that performance. I had to stop watching.

Keep it up this bowl season. Curious to see your plays for today and tomorrow how they matchup with mine. 

Pretty torn on the Auburn/Purdue game this morning. Which Auburn team shows up? Auburn bowl games under Malzahn have been bad bad bad. Will this year be any different? Any thoughts appreciated.

Good luck today

you worried about not having DL if they face OU or Bama?

If Clemson could lose a starter...it would be on that DL. Albert Huggins will play in place of big Dex... If Albert played on any other team in the country he would be superstar DL... the crazy thing is he and Dex damnn near split time anyways... So in short, no... Clemson is still going to win BIG IMO.


I can't wait till the Bama homers/SEC homers come out laying the 14,15 whatever the line is gonna be... LMAO

If you think for 1 second I'm not gonna bet on Oklahoma with those 14 points.....


I'm still not 100% sure Bama is gonna win.


Here is a few quick notes on this game....

1) Bama has always struggled with this type of qb.
2) Oklahoma is the best offense maybe ever if anyone has paid attention.
3) Last year all we heard was how Oklahoma hadn't played a SEC defense in Georgia.... who had only given up like 11 points a game.... What happened there??
4) Hello people Tua is not healthy... Don't know why people think this high ankle sprain is just magically gonna go away.
5) What's the over? Who cares... take it.

I’m an SEC guy, but I absolutely agree with every bit of this.

Bama fans have driven me nuts this year, and hell I am one lol. It seems like any line for bama under 24, they're allllll over it no matter what. I get it, we have a good offense! Bama fans just don't know how to react having this potent of an offense. We are so used to a ground and pound run the clock and throw it in emergencies and this year its just different. Fans had this sense of invincibility this year. I hope the Georgia game changed that for many. Defense this year has been Bama weakness in a sense. After hearing the media blabber about how this may be the best defense in history after shutting out two straight SEC teams I just felt outraged. Yes, they are good and better than a ton of teams out there, but there are so many weak points this year compared to years past, it honestly scares me. Key player on defense in Williams in the DT spot. Other than that you have Mack as a leader in the defense but he is definitely no Reuban Foster, Donta Hightower, etc. etc. I dont see any of these huge difference makers out there with exception of Williams. Theres not our usual Rueban Foster, Minka Fitzmagic, Jonathan Allen, Eddy Jackson, etc. out there this year

To your points:
1. qb play - dead on point. To beat bama, you need typically a combo of 3 things - outstanding passing game, dual threat qb, lose TO margin. OU has two of these three covered without a doubt. Kyler is a problem child for bama on that field. Who is quick enough to stay a spy on him?

2. OU offense best ever - its definitely an opinion. They are stout without any doubt. Glad that the top WR is limited.

3. last year game comparison - spot on. And this Alabama team is extremely similar (especially defense standpoint to GA last year)

4. Tua not healthy - he has not been healthy for several weeks with a knee and ankle issue, and now he has a 2nd ankle issue. He has gotten the job done overall other than GA game, however I can 100% tell he is not spot on with the injuries. Hes just not as mobile any more and his passes have been noticeably not as crisp (behind receivers more and even a few overthrows)

5. over over over - I agree. I like both the team totals over ( i think currently at 46 and 32 ) Only way I see this not happening is Bama does a run game run clock the whole game. I don't see that happening.

Am I nervous? 110%

I think in a lot of ways this game is hard to gauge... I'm leaning heavy on Washington st right now.... But I'm gonna sit on it today.


I will say this... I love the coaching matchup... love both these coaches.
