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.

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...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
