The Big 5 College Football Games of Week 2


The weekend schedule is a little tame but there is one headline game that is a must watch.

5. Clemson Tigers at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
The ACC did so well last werek in the season opening out of conference games that its time to focus on who is going to dominate the conference. This week the Clemson Tigers take on the Yellow Jackets in Hotlanta. Dabo's gonna get smacked by the option. The Pick: Jackets by 10

4. South Carolina Gamecocks at Georgia Bulldogs
The mighty bulldogs and their new offense let down the SEC last week while the Gamecocks put on a 4 point hurting at Border rival NC State. The problem is South Carolina obviously has no offense and down in Athens, even 10 points might be hard to come by. The Pick: Bulldogs by 3

3. UCLA Bruins at Tennessee Volunteers
In a nice little middle of the pack Pac 10 vs. SEC matchup, the Kiffins vs. the Neuheisels. Both youngish coaches who talk more than they have proven. Edge goes to the Volunteers simply thanks to homefield. The Pick: Kiffins by 10

2. Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Michigan Wolverines
Hey the Wolverines don't 100% completely suck this year, maybe. The Irish are getting love because, god only knows why, so this weekend will be their first test. Last year they beat the Wolverines badly with the help of approximately 9000 Wolverines fumbles, this year I think they lose. But I'm biased. The Pick: Michigan by 3.

1. Southern California Trojans at Ohio State Buckeyes
Last year the Buckeyes National Title hopes were quickly erased by the beatdown they took at the LA Coliseum. This year they blatantly looked past Navy and almost wound up losing that title chance in week 1. Now with that behind them they can focus on getting revenge on the Matt Barkley led team of 5 star recruits. I picked Ohio State to win this game at the beginning of the year, so I'm reluctantly sticking to it. The Pick: Buckeyes by 3.

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...
