The Big 5 College Football Games of Weekend #6

5. Pittsburgh Panthers at South Florida Bulls
The Wanny's have bounced back from an inexcusable season opening loss with 3 straight wins. Meanwhile the Bulls of South Florida have charged out to the poll position in the Big East and a #10 ranking in the nation. The Bulls have barely got by in some matchups already this season and could easily trip up tonight, but come on its Wanny. He doesn't beat people. The Pick: Bulls by 6

4. Oregon Ducks at Southern California Trojans
The Ducks are ranked and looking to bounce back and the Trojans obviously are looking to bounce back. The problem for the Ducks is that they are in fact ranked and the Trojans know they need to show up. So the Trojans will, and will cruise to a victory. The Pick: Trojans by 17

3. Texas Longhorns at Colorado Buffalos
The Longhorns have played absolutely nobody so far this season so they've emerged ast the #5 team in America. I'm not saying the Buffalos are 'somebodies' but they at least have a competitive team this year and at home have the potential to shock the Longhorns. The Pick: Longhorns by 10

2. Auburn Tigers at Vanderbilt Commodores
Gameday is going to the land of the Commodore for the first time (and potentially last) in Vandy history. And why? Cause they are 4-0 unlike the rest of the SEC East. This game will show if they are for real. The Pick: Auburn by 2.

1. Ohio State Buckeyes at Wisconsin Badgers
Why is any game in the Big 10 the biggest of the weekend? Because it has major ramifications for USC. If Ohio St. runs the table and looks like the championship contender they were in seasons past then the Trojans will reemerge as potential BCS title game suitors. If they slip up this week against the Badgers than for both the Buckeyes and the Trojans the title shots might be kissed goodbye.The Pick: Buckeyes by 3.

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...
