The Big 5 College Football Games of Weekend #10

This week is a week of two games. The battle for the large cocktails and the battle for Texas Supremacy. O

5. Miami Hurricanes at Virginia Cavaliers
The Hurricanes certainly are not back to their glory days, but they still somehow have a chance with the ACC clusterfuck at the top of their division. Step 1 is defeating the resurgent Al Grohs in Grohland. The Pick: Grohs by 3

4. West Virginia Mountaineers at UConn Huskies
For all the haterade dumped on Bill Stewart for his 2 losses during the opening month of the season, he still is currently 2-0 in the Big East with a very good chance of making another trip to a BCS game. Mostly because Noel Devine is an animal not because he's a good coach. This week a trip up to Hartford to knock UConn out of the rankings which they do not deserve to be.The Pick: Mountaineers by 13

3. Florida State Seminoles at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
So Florida St. really jumped up those rankings this week after knocking out both of VaTech's QBs. The matchup this weekend vs. the Yellow Jackets could easily decide the ACC title game attendee. The Pick: Jackets by 3

2. Georgia Bulldogs vs. Florida Gators at the Cocktail Party
Simply put this game decides the SEC East title. This game decides who will face Bama in the SEC title game and this game arguably puts the winner in the driver seat for 1 loss teams. Will Tebow get revenge from last years td celebration? Yes. The Pick: Florida by 3

1. Texas Longhorns at Texas Tech Red Raiders
The Red Raiders always look good at the start of the year. They always beat the crap out of their out of conference opponents. They always score 9000 points against Baylor. Their QB always leads the Nation in yards and tds and passer efficiency. And they always get dominated by Texas. The Pick: Longhorns by 13.

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...
