If you hit 50% the rest of the year I will be shocked and please stop picking totals you STINK. Stick with what you are average at picking games. People that go to "I own you" statements show their true colors.

Most people forget that with tatoogate this team still has talent sitting out for suspensions, but they got probably the most important one back last week vs nebraska (OT Mike Adams) and it made a huge difference for an OL that looked like a high school team vs. Mich St.  Yesterday they got RB Dan Herron back as well, and welcomed him by giving him the ball early and often.  It was a VERY windy day and throwing the ball was a tough option even for a good passer, which frosh QB Miller is not yet.  He is a very good runner though, and this was a painfully boring game to watch, but it was obvious that OSU was going to dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball early on.  Their DL and linebackers are still very talented, and I know most haters have already thrown the dirt on top of their casket this year, but don't forget how much talent is still there for this program.

Fact is they didn't need to throw it, and just as a correction, Ron Zook has never beaten the bucks in Champaign.  The 2007 win came against the then #1 OSU team in C-bus.

They will probably lose to Wisconsin at home in 2 weeks, but I sure hope to grab a solid number of points with an improving team on 2 weeks of rest in a big revenge spot vs. a badger team with a LOT to lose IF they beat MSU next saturday.

It's so easy to piss off people when this site is their entire lives. What do you say 5 games a week no units just ATS. My first pick is Missouri getting 7.5. Also I don't have "A TEAM" so talk about whoever you want. I graduated from OU that is why I stick to what I know best the Big XII. I bet mainly against OU because they are average on the road and should lose at Kstate next week which could be one of my next weeks play. Also you say you are so great at totals so 4 sides and 1 total. PROVE IT.

Remember those of us who knew you when you were a little guy


You are really hurting my kid's feelings with this UF bashing, I am going to have to tell them they cannot read your column any longer

Boom Boom, really like your candor.  Most people can't look at talent in their own back yard as objectively as you have.  And you've been right about your homies.  Just as I have been right about some things out here in the West where I live.  One of them was that the 1983 Fresno State men's basketball team, after being snubbed in the at-large seedings for the NCAA Championship (despite giving a Jerry Tarkanian-coached UNLV team a 25-point spanking) and was sent to the NIT, was absolutely going to win the NIT (which they did, beating Ray Meyer's Depaul team in the championship).  Like your love for Clemson, I have a love for Fresno State because I grew up near there and went to college there, getting to watch Cal head coach Jeff Tedford throw to illustrious pro receivers Henry Ellard and Stephone Paige, and I can admit weakness when I see it (which is why last week I was all over Boise State, but this week had my 'Dogs against Utah State).  I also remember telling everyone who would listen that Cal's 1992 basketball team (they had some guy named Jason Kidd for point guard, maybe you've heard of him) was going to take down the mighty Duke, and they did.  I love that you are both a fan and also an astute capper all at the same time.  I was wondering if you would like some knowledge of other conferences out here in the West.  I would be happy to give you some insight.  I of course am especially good with WAC games.  Here was what I predicted last week:  San Jose would cover a +6 spread against Hawaii and was correct, Nevada would cover a -30 spread against New Mexico and was correct, New Mexico State would cover a -1 spread against Idaho and was correct, and Fresno State would cover a +3.5 spread against Utah State and was correct.  4-0 in the WAC, but of course this is not every week or I wouldn't be here talking with everyone.  But I have a fairly good eye, and would be happy to share anything I know or see with you to pass on to all your followers.  As a show of good faith, I will say that my WAC pick of the week is Utah State vs. Louisiana Tech, Utah State to cover -6.5 points at home.  If this wins, and you are interested to learn more, let me know.  If my pick pans out and you want to know more, become a "friend" and send me a private message.  Good luck this week, you're genuine which I can tell even when you have a less-than-desirable week on your picks.

Right now very few, if any student atheletes in NCAAF can come close to this guy.  Just giving credit where credits due and correcting a few of your misconceptions.  BOL

My gut says your due for a big ass week 8  

Jump all of Wisconsin at anything less than 10.  They easily win this game!  Also on Wake and WMU already.  Some leans would be USC, PSU, GTech, Tenn.

BOL as always Boom

You must feel like you're a god on here by preaching to everyone about all of your "i told you so" comments. Let me clue you in on a little something....it's called humility. Look into it once you get some time away from handicapping. And you're grammar is pretty bad too which already dulls the shine on your legacy.

The Gators? Man, were you roofied and raped by a UF alum? Such hatred don't you think? Who the fuck thought they were going to be good this year? You must have a selective memory or just be talking to retards. Unless I'm mistaken, they've won 20% of the national titles in the past 15 years so you might want to remember that when you saying how bad they are. They won't be down for long anyway, so enjoy it while you can.

I also find it funny that the one year in 20 (that's being nice) that Clemson is good (so far), you start talking about them like they are the 95 Cornhuskers. Relax chief.....just pick your games, hope you win, and leave it at that. Enough with your ridiculous, grammar-inept weekly write ups blowing yourself.

I hope you have a real job too, just not as an English teacher. Otherwise this country is fucked.
