The Big 5 College Games of the Weekend

5. Texas Longhorns vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders in Lubbock

Maybe its just wishful thinking to hope that this will be a good game. But hopefully the Leacher will put together some immaculate gameplan to put the Longhorns down, who are in a solid position to be the #1 one loss team, when they do not remotely deserve that standing. The Pick: Texas much to my dismay in a romp.

4. Clemson Tigers vs. Virginia Tech Hokies in Blacksburg

Amazing how the Hokies seemed to have been ranked earlier in the season on name value alone. Coming off a bye it will be interesting to see if Glennon and the O-Line have learned how to read blitz packages and know how to get the ball out early to avoid the sack. My guess is they probably didn't and after Clemson rolled to a victory over GaTech I just don't see VaTech bouncing back tonight. The Pick: Clemson by a 10ish.

3. Miami Hurricanes vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the ATL

The Hurricanes get back all of their players from suspension who will probably be looking for redemption. They are in the same situation where FSU was last week where if they lose they might as well just pack in the season. Last week I went with FSU, this week I'm going to go with Miami. I know this is a dumb decision considering they almost lost to Duke last week, but GaTech was stupid enough to not pass the ball to Calvin Johnson last week and this week I think Ball tries to force it too him when its not there. With as bad as Miami has been they still only have one conference loss. The Pick: Miami by a couple.

2. Georgia Bulldogs vs. Florida Gators at The Cocktail Party

Kind of a weak week for college football with only one rank vs. rank matchup and thats not even a good game. The Bulldogs and the Gators face off in their annual cocktail party, typically a good game. The problem, Georgia isn't any good this year. The Pick: Florida romps over the offensively deficient Bulldogs

1. Tennessee Volunteers vs. South Carolina GameCocks in Cockland

The Vols head into Cockland in another important SEC showdown. If the Vols lose this game they most likely can kiss their chance at the SEC Title away, as they would fall behind both the Cocks and Gators. But if I was a Vol fan I wouldn't be overly worried as they had their off week last week and will come in with all guns blazing against the Coks. The Pick: Tennessee has too much talent and is out for revenge.

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...
