Ranking the OOC Schedules of the NCAA Top 11


1. Florida Gators: 3 Cupcakes and a Cheeseburger - The only saving grace for the Gators is their in-state rival FSU who may wind up being good this season. In reality the Seminoles could once again be a middle of the pack ACC team and barely qualify as a cheeseburger.

2. Texas Longhorns: 4 Cupcakes - Seriously Mack Brown, this is your Out of Conference Schedule? I hope you go undefeated and get shafted out of the title game. Go screw jackass.

3. Oklahoma Sooners: 2 Cupcakes and 2 Cheeseburgers - At the very least Oklahoma for the 2nd straight years makes sure it plays a solid MWC team and Miami. Sure Miami might not be back to the powerhouse they used to be, but at least the Sooners are trying.

4. USC Trojans: 1 Cupcake, 1 Cheeseburger, 1 Steak - Much like the Seminoles, Notre Dame could easily lose its Cheeseburger status, but there is no doubt that a trip to the horseshoe is a mighty mighty steak.

5. Alabama: 3 Cupcakes and 1 Steak - We can easily overlook the three cupcakes given the fact that they've schedule the two time defending ACC Champ in their first game of the year.



6. Ohio State: 3 Cupcakes and a Steak - USC makes up for all the remaining cupcakes on Ohio State's schedule. If you're willing to play the best, then we'll overlook the filler wins you schedule.

7. Virginia Tech: 1 Steak, 1 Cheeseburger, 1 Hot Dog, and a Cupcake - The Hokies are by far the cream of the crop this season when it comes to top teams OOCs. The Hokies scheduled defending Sugar Bowlers Alabama in game 1. They have Big 12 North front runner on the schedule. Than they have two teams in the Conference USA that have a track record of success. Kudos to you ass face and your solid scheduling.

8. Ole Miss: 4 Cupcakes - "How to make your season look better than it truly was before it even starts" by Ole Miss. It's a book on how to schedule four automatic wins to fill in your SEC season.

9. Oklahoma State: 1 Steak, 1 Hot Dog and 2 Cupcakes - UGA is a slight mystery in week 1, but we'll give them steak status given their past track record and scheduling an SEC team in the home opener. Houston went 8-5 last year and won a bowl, so we'll be generous and give Okie St. an extra hot dog.

9. Penn State: 4 Cupcakes - Honestly, Joe Pa schedules joke opponents. An automatic 4 wins does nothing for your resume old man.

11. LSU: 1 Hot Dog and 3 Cupcakes - Washington barely, and I mean barely, qualifies as a hot dog. I'll give LSU partial credit for at minimum scheduling a BCS team, but it's mostly all lame.

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...
