The Big 5 College Football Games of the Weekend

5. Texas A&M Aggies at Miami Hurricanes
Let's see if the Aggies will be a contender in the Big 12 this season. In the Hurricanes previous Big 12 showdown they got pummeled mercilessly by the Sooners. Can the Aggies follow suit? The Pick: I'm Stupidly Going to Pick the Hurricanes Again

4. Kentucky Wildcats at Arkansas Razorbacks
A week after Kentucky's biggest victory in recent memory the Wildcats are ranked and delving into their SEC schedule. A trip to a hungry and bitter Razorback squad coming off their loss to Saban's boys in Bama will be very tough. The Pick: Razorbacks Roll

3. Georgia Bulldogs at Alabama Crimson Tide
The Big SEC games roll at you every single week. Nick Saban knows this and I'm sure he tempered his teams excitement immediately following their dramatic win over the Razorbacks. For the Bulldogs this is pretty much their season, if they lose another SEC game they can kiss their division goodbye. The Gators aren't going to lose mThe Pick: Never Doubt Nick Saban

2. Penn St. Nittany Lions at Michigan Wolverines
And so the Big 10 season begins and what has the start of this season showed the Nation about the Big 10? It sucks. It sucks a lot. No one beats anyone in the Big 10. Penn St. is ranked in the top 10 and they gave up points and a lot of them to Buffalo. Buffalo sucks. Michigan got rolled in their first two games. The rest of the conference hasn't shown anything either. Here's why Michigan is looking forward to the Big 10 season. Limited amount of Mobile Quarterbacks to tear them up. Anthony Morelli isn't one of them. The Pick: Michigan Shows How Much the Big 10 Sucks by Beating the Conferences "Best" Team

1. South Carolina GameCocks at Louisiana State Tigers
I'm looking forward to the Ole Ball Coach lining up against Les Miles. The Tigers have more talent, especially on defense, but the Ole Ball Coach is well a much better ball coach. Somehow someway the Spurrier seems to find a way to put points on the board, but there is still whole most dominant defense in college football thing. One thing I know for certain is that I will be rooting for the GameCocks to pull one out in the Bayou. The Pick: LSU's defense proves to be too much which will be annoying

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...
