The Big 5 College Games of the Weekend

5. Texas Tech vs. UTEP

It may not seem like a big game to the typical outsider but battles within the borders of Texas, that don't include North Texas at Austin, are usually a big deal. This should be a shootout and it will be intriguing for those looking at possible pro QBs to watch Jordan Palmer in a big game and see if he has any of his Big Bro's ability. The Pick: UTEP

4. Clemson vs. Boston College

A big time match up for whatever division these teams reside in, the Coastal or Atlantic or however they split their moronic division alignment. Clemson is ranked high for who really knows why and BC is off the radar. But one thing BC has working for them is that every single team that comes up to Chesnut Hill needs to charter a flight and sit around in an uncomfortable hotel room. I won't be a believer in Clemson til after this game, if I'm proven wrong. The Pick: BC

3. Georgia vs. South Carolina

The Ole Ball Coach hosts Georgia a team he dominated while in Gainesville but faltered against last year. If Carolina wants to really threaten for the SEC East title this year this is a huge game. A win against Georgia would not only thrust the Gamecocks into the top 25 but it would give USC a 2-0 start to their conference and people will start the whispers of how good Spurrier really is. Not gonna happen though, Georgia typically chokes down the stretch not week 2. The Pick: Georgia

2. Penn St. vs. Notre Dame

The second game of Notre Dame's big time September Schedule which fades into cupcake after cupcake before the finale at USC. Penn St. heads to South Bend as a big time underdog after having to replace much of their one loss team last season, while Notre Dame comes off a solid victory but not one that made anybody think wow Notre Dame is really good. Well this week I think Notre Dame is going to make you say wow, and much to Grutts dismay the Nitney Lions are going to get trampeled by Tuxedo T-Shirt Touchdown Baby Jesus. The Pick: Notre Dame

1. Ohio State vs. Texas

A matchup of the #1 and #2 teams in the polls, yippy, personally I don't quite understand why Texas moved up after they beat up on a high school team last week. One thing I personally dislike is how this game is a primetime game, I hate primetime on saturday, primetime on saturday should be out at a bar, day time on saturday should be drinking and watching college footall, they really are kicking me in the groin with these big time matchups on saturday nights. This year the Buckeyes go into to Austin and take it home because one start for Colt against the team from Unnecessary Roughness will not prepare him for the young and talented OSU squad. The Pick: The Ohio State University

I will have to disagree with you on the Texas Tech - UTEP game. Texas Tech just spanked SMU, 35-3. This is a SMU team that UTEP and Jordan Palmer lost to last year 40-27. Plus, I have a two team parlay on Texas Tech (-7) and V Tech (-13) at UNC. Don't make me nervous.

Ya I could just as easily see TT run the gauntlet on utep, however i don't know if those are the two games i would go for if i was doing a parlay.

Gerogia -3 at USC
Temple +40 vs. Louisville

I know Temple blows, but they just lost Bush for the season and 40 points is a lot of frigging points

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
