Degrees of Loss Separation: UConn> West Virginia

The Degrees of Loss Separation is a simple concept, I go out and find a highly rated team with some losses playing against a crappy team with lots of losses. Next I find a chain of losses which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt (not at all) that the underdog is going to pull the major upset and storm the field. The Final Outcome is calculated simply: Add up the scores of the losers, add up the scores of the winners in the degrees of loss separation and divide both by the # of degrees.

The Game: Connecticut Huskies vs. West Virginia Mountaineers

This Degrees of Loss Separation is in honor of the recently deceased Jasper Howard. By now you must know that he was stabbed to death outside a UConn building on the night of a school dance. I think we can all agree that this must be an incredibly difficult time for the Huskies and that unless you are from West Virginia you will be pulling for them this weekend.

10º of Loss Separation : UConn > Louisville > Southern Miss > Memphis > UTEP > Houston > Oklahoma St. > Georgia > Arkansas > Auburn > WVU

This is the longest degrees ever (I think) so here goes. West Virginia's lone loss came in their trip to Alabama when they were beaten 41-30 by the Chizik's. The Chizik's perfect mark was erased a few weeks later 44-23 by the Razorbacks. The Razorbacks could not jump on the campaign "Beating Mark Richt 09" and fell 52-41 to UGA. Okie St. started off the campaign by beating UGA 24-10 in the opener but fell to Houston 45-35 in week 2. The Cougars suffered their lone loss to meek UTEP 58-41. UTEP followed that up with a loss to Memphis 35-20. The Tigers than lost the next week to Southern Miss 36-16. Southern Miss granted Louisville just one of their two wins the previous week 25-23. Finally UConn led by Jasper Howard knocked off the Cardinal last week 38-25.

Final Outcome: UConn 40 WVU 26

The Huskies will honor their fallen teammate by going into Morgantown and pulling off a big time upset 40-26. With the win the emotional Huskies will thrust themselves right back into the heart of the Big East race.

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

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
