The Big 5 College Football Games of the Weekend


5. VaTech Hokies at Clemson Tigers
A battle between two teams needing to establish footing in the ACC. Tigers have a big win but a big loss the Hokies haven't played anyone remotely good other than their drubbing against LSU. The Pick: Hokies I guess?

4. Ohio St. Buckeyes at Purdon't Boilermakers
News to the world Purdon't is undefeated. How the hell did this happen? Oh they played Notre Dame, that boosts team moral and confidence levels of course. The Pick: Buckeyes by a couple

3. Red River Squirt Gun Fight
Apparently I was wrong calling this the battle for National Title Runner Up status. The Big 12 stinks and so do their top teams Texas and Oklahoma. The Pick: Oklahoma bring out a Super Soaker.

2. Kentucky Wildcats at South Carolina Gamecocks
The ole ball coach doesn't lose to Kentucky. No way no how. Lee Corso is even going to pick them this weekend. Maybe that's a bad thing.The Pick: Cocks of course.

1. Florida Gators at Lousiana State Tigers
Dulled down after the last weeks results, but still essential for both teams. For Florida a loss nails any hopes of back to back titles down and hurts their SEC chances for LSU a loss slots them behind many squads and makes their run to the title much harder.The Pick: Florida somehow bounces back.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
