The Big 5 College Football Games of Week 7


Welcome to fun week, where every team is basically playing a big game.

5. Cincinnati Bearcats at South Florida Bulls
The Bearcats are a sneaky team that could run the table and with a lot of chips falling in their favor find their way into the BCS title. Granted they would get pummeled in the game, but they could get there. This week is arguably their biggest challenge, headed to face their old DC and the South Florida Bulls. Do they win? The Pick: Bearcats by 3

4. Southern California Trojans at Notre Dame Fighting Irish
I mention this game not just for the fact that the two are ranked but partially because its fun saying Notre Dame is going to get crunched. Jimmy Clausen is having a good year, but not after Taylor Mays breaks him in two. The Pick: Trojans by 17

3. Virginia Tech Hokies at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Just ask the Jets what some classic rushing football can do to a "good" defense, VaTech. The issue? Their defense sucks. The Pick: Hokies by 13.

2. South Carolina Gamecocks at Alabama Crimson Tide
The Gamecocks have looked impressive in their past few weeks and one could say this is a big challenge for evil Nick. I just don't see it. Alabama's D and rush attack is just too mighty right now. The Pick: Tide by 13

1. Oklahoma Sooners vs Texas Longhorns in Dallas
It's not often that two teams playing each other are in search of blood thirst quenching revenge, but the Red River Shootout brings it this year. The Sooners want revenge on their only regular season loss last year while the Longhorns want to beat the shit out of the Sooners after they stole their spot in the BCS title game via a three wayt split. This game is awesome, and I'm pumped Bradford is back, as for the pick, we're going for the upset and Stoops revenge.The Pick: Sooners by 6.

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...
