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

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
