The Big 5 College Football Games of Week 11

It's time for Spurrier to take another crack at knocking the Gators off. Hasn't really worked so well for him in the past and chances are it won't be working on Saturday either.

5. Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Pittsburgh Panthers
Shall we dub this the Fire Charlie Weis bowl? After a loss against Navy it's time Charlie does something that he never seems to do, beat a team that he's supposed to lose to. A 4th loss just might be the final straw in the FUPA's tenure. Than again the Wannstache doesn't exactly win big games often either. The Pick: FUPA by 3

4. Florida Gators at South Carolina Gamecocks
Like I said before Spurrier vs. the Gators is always interesting. Problem is since Meyer took over the Swamp ship, the Gators have been amongst the best teams in the country. Meyer has a 3-1 advantage over Spurrier and I think its time to make that 4-1. The Pick: Gators by 16

3. West Virginia Mountaineers at Cincinnati Bearcats
The Mountaineers win out and they once again secure the Big East crown. The Bearcats win out and there is the off chance that they might have a Crystal Ball in their future. We're going with Cincy due to the Kelly-Stewart advantage. The Pick: Cincy by 7

2. Iowas Hawkeyes at Ohio State Buckeyes
This game would have been interesting if Ricky Stanzi didn't go boom last week. Now it appears as if the Hawkeyes dream season ended the second he was tackled in the endzone last week. The Buckeyes are going to the Rose Bowl. The Pick: Buckeyes by 17.

1. Utah Utes at Texas Christian Horned Frogs
Its a week where we actually have to pay attention to the Moutain West Conference. That is if you actually get Versus. Regardless a victory here should send the Horned Frogs to their first ever BCS game. The Pick: TCU by 10

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...

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...
