Bowl Pick 'Em


The Bowls are right around the corner and since I'm doing such a horrible job with my NFL picks this season perhaps I'm due a little bit of luck. Also if you care to defeat me in Bowl Pick 'Em probably not a difficult task you can join my league 'Can't Spell Lloyd without 2 Ls' at ESPN. Anyway here's one sentence reasons why I picked each game.

San Diego Bowl: Utah over Navy cause the Midshipman Coach decided to bail ship.

New Orleans Bowl: Florida A&T over Memphis cause they are from Florida, thats it.

PapaJohns Bowl: Cincinnati over Southern Miss cause the Bearcats didn't get their coach stolen by Michigan.

New Mexico Bowl: New Mexico over Nevada cause nothing says homefield like having the same name as the bowl game.

Las Vegas Bowl: BYU over UCLA cause UCLA lost to Notre Dame.

Hawaii Bowl: Boise St. over East Carolina cause the powers extend past the smurf turf.

Motor City Bowl: Central Michigan over Purdon't cause the MAC owns the Big 10 this year.

Champs Sports: BC over Michigan St. cause the Eagles always win their bowl games cause every year they face inferior teams.

Emerald Bowl: Oregon St. over Maryland cause the Beaver is too powerful to be contained in a fridge.

Car Care Bowl: Wake Forest over Uconn cause I drink the haterade.

Liberty Bowl: Miss St. over UCF cause nothing says Croomed like a Bowl loss.

Alamo Bowl: Penn St. over A&M cause the Aggies still haven't gotten their running back on a conditioning plan.

Independence Bowl: Bama over Colorado cause one 6-6 team must win.

Armed Forces Bowl: Cal over Air Force cause them helicopters can't stop Desean Jackson.

Sun Bowl: South Florida over Oregon cause a Leaf is going to QB for one team and not the other.

Humanitarian Bowl: Georgia Tech over Fresno St. cause the Jackets showed charity when they let Glennon use their jersey.

Gaylord Bowl: Kentucky over FSU cause Cheat St. University got caught.

Insight Bowl: Indiana over Okie St. cause this ones for Coach Hep.

Peach Bowl: Auburn over Clemson cause the ACC likes to suspend all of their players for the bowl game.

Outback Bowl: Tennessee over Wisconsin cause this time the coin landed heads.

Cotton Bowl: Missouri over Arkansas cause the Razorbacks ain't got Patrino yet.

Gator Bowl: Texas Tech over Virginia cause Al Groh will have his mind explode trying to defend the Red Raiders.

Cap One Bowl: Florida over Michigan cause the Tebow spread won't be stopped.

Rose Bowl: USC over Illinois cause there will be no Zooking in Pasadena.

Sugar Bowl: Georgia over Hawaii cause there won't be back to back BCS miracles.

Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma over West Virginia cause Pat White will be broken in half.

Orange Bowl: VaTech over Kansas cause the Ass Face is Better than the Triple Chin.

International Bowl: Rutgers over Ball St. cause Schiano is too good for Michigan.

GMAC Bowl: Tulsa over Bowling Green cause um ain't got no reason.

Good luck soundly defeating me...

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...

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...
