Thursday: I'm In A Slump

What is up with my picks, they are starting to go South, all of the sudden. The last two weeks, I have gone a combined 4-6.

It's time to start picking some winners. I'd be happy to go 3-2, this week. Here we go:

• Missouri over Oklahoma- They beat Nebraska last week. I can't believe I'm picking the Tigers to beat the Sooners. Everytime I pick against the Sooners, I always lose, this must be a sign that I don't see. However, you can't argue over 41 points a game.
  
• Auburn over Arkansas- TAKE THAT MCFADDEN!
  
• Boston College over Notre Dame- The one-game winning streak ends in South Bend.
  
• LSU over Kentucky- I think this one is a lot closer than the spread acknowledges.
  
• North Carolina over South Carolina- It's the battle of the Carolina's. The only time Butch Davis (UNC) took on Steve Spurrier (USC), Davis came out on top. That showdown happened at the Sugar Bowl, during the 2000 season. Davis was at Miami and Spurrier at Florida. It's the same coaches, just on two different teams.

College Football Update: Total Pwnage for Men of Troy

Another great week of college football has come and gone. So many storylines happened today. We could talk about anything at this point.

First, we will do a recap of tonight's events:

• USC defeated Nebraska, 49-31- It was close early on for both sides and it looked like the Cornhuskers would keep it close. But the Trojans started to pull away for good and on their way to a 2-0 record. USC certainly proved that they are the no.-1 team in the country. The battle in Lincoln great test for the Trojans.
  
• Alabama wins a close one over Arkansas, 41-38- Bama quarterback John Parker Wilson threw for 328 yards and four touchdown passes. Arkansas running back Darren McFadden ran for 199 yards and two touchdowns.
  
• Boston College defeated Georgia Tech, 24-10- BC quarterback Matt Ryan had a career day, throwing for 435 yards. BC has a chance to run the table in the ACC and maybe make it to the conference title game.
  
  Now for a quick recap of the rest of the day:
  
• Michigan shut out Notre Dame, 38-0- Uhh, no comment.
  
• Iowa State defeated Iowa, 15-13- Great game with an exciting finish.
  
• Illinois defeated Syracuse, 41-20- HOORAY JUICE!!!!

Well that's all I have

College Football Update: A Review of the Day

With the exception of a few games, most of this opening Saturday of College Football is over. On with an overview of the evening games.

• California came out on top over Tennessee 45-31. Both quarterbacks had outstanding games. Cal QB Nate Longshore threw for 240 yards, 19 completions and two touchdowns. While Tennessee QB Erik Ainge threw for 270 yards, 32 completions and three touchdowns.
  
• Texas defeated Arkansas State in a close one, 21-13. Longhorns QB Colt McCoy threw for 224 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
  
• Auburn scored two touchdowns late in the game to defeat Kansas State, 23-13.
  
  Recap
  
• Virginia Tech defeats East Carolina 17-7, in first game since the tragic shootings in April.
  
• Appalachian State upsets no.-5 ranked Michigan, 34-32.
  
• Georgia Tech defeats Notre Dame, 33-3. All three quarterbacks on the Fighting Irish sideline played in that game.

That's it for the first edition of the College Football Update.

See ya Monday

College Football Update: Weis Indecisive

Michigan loses to AP State and all the sudden, the world starts calling for his head. They still have a chance to go 11-1. Anyway, here's the update

• Notre Dame lost to Georgia Tech 33-3. It wasn't even close. What bothered me more was the fact that all three of Charlie Weis' quarterbacks played. Demetrius Jones started, then came Evan Sharpley and finally Jimmy Clausen came in. Hopefully we will see one starter next week, instead of a quarterback-by-committtee
  
• Iowa got their first win, defeating Northern Illinois, 16-3
  
• UCLA destroyed Stanford 45-17
  
• Illinois fell short against Missouri, 40-34. Bigger story, Juice Williams got knocked out of the game. Hopefully, he's ok.
  
• Boston College won against Wake Forest 38-28

I'll have a full recap of the days events as well as tonight, a little later.

Peace

Friday Briefs Pt. 2: Oh No Romo, He's Picking College Games

That's right, it's the first weekend of college football and one tradition I hold near and dear to me is that I pick College Football games on Friday. Hopefully my picks will be right on and I'll have a great year.

Being that this is only the first week, most of the good teams will be facing weaker teams and teams from the playoff subdivision (I-AA).

So I better go 5-0 this week, let's get it going.

1. Tennessee over Cal- It's time for Erik Ainge to prove he's the real deal, this is the Vols first true test
2. Georgia Tech over Notre Dame- The Yellow Jackets came close last year, this year, no Brady Quinn= Big win for the Jackets
3. Auburn over Kansas State- Check this guy out
4. Virginia Tech over East Carolina- Win or lose, the Hokies will unite the Blacksburg Campus
5. TCU over Baylor- Nothing to add

I'll do a weekend wrap-up after all the college games are over.

Enjoy this weekend.
