AUWins College Football Blog - Week 12
**Note: Due to a lack of games this week (of any significance that is...) AUWins is taking the week off....however.......
Quick Shots For My Faithful Followers
1. Michigan will upset Ohio State this weekend in the Big House. Rich Rod wins a reprieve for one more year.
2. Alabama will lose to Chattanooga and Nick Saban will be named the new Notre Dame head coach on Monday.
JUST KIDDING!!!!!
(if you remembe my earlier prediction from two weeks ago....Urban Meyer will be the next ND head coach.)
3. UVA will upset Clemscum and throw the ACC into total chaos, putting lil' ol' Boston College in the ACC championship game against Ga Tech.
4. Michigan State beats Joepa.
5. Bob Stoops brother wins this weekend over a suddenly struggling Oregon team and put Arizona in the PAC 10 drivers seat.
6. Nebraska will beat K State and go to their conference championship. A shout out to all my good Nebraska friends. Good season for Bo and company and with some offensive firepower, the "N" will be back and competing in the Big 12 by 2011.
7. THUGA will lose to UK because they are all giddy from their big comeback win over Auburn. Richt will blame the loss on their dead dog who kicked the bucket after the Auburn game.
Don't beat Auburn and not expect to have judgement passed down upon you. Do you remember what I told you last week about this game???? Hmmmmmmmm?? Next year I hear our raptor trainers are gonna send our eagle down during the pre-game flight and pick up their new dog and circle the stadium a few times about 1,000 feet in the air before dropping it to the middle of Pat Dye Field!
Anyways dear readers, have a nice weekend and we will be back next week with the final version of AUWins 2009 college football blog on TUESDAY (not Thursday or Friday).

AUWins College Football Blog - Week 11
AUWins College Football Blog - Week 11
Screw 2012....THIS Is The End of The World, Man!!!
Week 10 Recap and Notes
So, you still didn't believe after all this time that AUWins can call 'em huh?
After all this time of my loving gifts to you you STILL didn't wanna listen to your gracious giver of all college football knowledge.
And so yet another week went by as you stood in front of the TV...mouth apape...and watched prediction after prediction come true.
Did you take Northwestern over Iowa like I told ya too? Shaaaaaaaaame, shame, shame.
Did my Nebraska buddies take comfort in knowing their beloved shuckers of corn would beat a shellshocked OK squad???
Did you watch Navy take the Waddlin' Hippo and his boys down to the wire like AUWins told you they would (okay, so I DID pick fatso to pull it out, but the luck was actually spinning Navy's way that day!)?
Did you watch the Ducks get it in the arse at Stanford? Told ya the Tree would keep it close....oh yeah, they beat the yellow snot out of the Quacks. Oh well....
Well my friends, as we begin the final home stretch of the season let AUWins tell you this. Starting this weekend some really funky shite is going to start happening to a LOT of favored teams. Rivalries come into play. Games take on conference title implications. This season has been a bubbling volcano waiting for the lid to blow and it starts THIS SATURDAY!!!
Week 11 Key Matchups and Predictions
The Made Up Animal Combo vs The Coonskin Dorks
Who the **** ever came up with a made up animal name like "bearcat"???? What the **** is it even supposed to be or look like???? Does it hibernate in winter like a real bear...or does it bathe itself by licking its fur???
I guess MonsterQuest will be doing a show about the search for the mysterious Bearcat terrorizing the urbanites in Cincy soon.
And for the game....it won't even be close. Noel Devine will most likely be sitting out. He's about 80 percent of their offense. Their D has been pretty lame all season. It's at Cincinnati.
Hideous made-up bearcat animal/monster/whatever-the-f*** win huge.
Godawful Nuts vs The Eyes of The Lamest Bird In The Entire Raptor Family
No one eats or likes buckeyes. You don't even attempt to eat one at Christmas even out of tradition. Their totally gross and totally useless to the modern diet. Yet somehow a team named after a cross between a nut and a bean is supposed to be all that and then some.
Pfffffffffft........
OSU should beat Iowa at home (I don't think they play an away game all season, sheeeeeeesh!!)....and they will. Iowa lost their QB and the one they threw in there last Saturday couldn't get laid with 20 grand in a Texas whorehouse!
OSU by 21 or more. Iowa goes back to it's desolate midwest town to hibernate for the winter.
The Condoms vs The Tree That Fell and EVERYONE Heard It!!!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwzzzzzaaaaa!!
This is the toughest matchup of the weekend folks. As I've instructed you my dear readers many times on similar type games...stay the hell away from this one if you're betting with real money. Just don't go near it!!!
Stanford is FOR REAL BABY! But they play on the road at USC who has only lost 2 home games in like the past 80 years or something.
Guess who the last team to beat 'em at home was........?
I think for pride and to keep their slim to nothing chance of a Rose Bowl alive the used spunkholders will pull it out. But would I take one over the other for anything meaningful. HELL NO!!
The Fighting Bahrs vs The Definition of Insignificance
Let's get this out of the way so my tide followers won't begin reading this apprehensive about a predicted shocker in Starkvegas. The Turds will win.
But while bama deserves all the credit in the world up to this point for going undefeated...State is going to take them down the wire and it is going to be a repeart of UT. bammer wins it ugly and wins it ohhhhhhhhhhhh so close.
The significance? bammer slips back again to 3 in the polls and begins to get the jitters about it's final games with Auburn and the SECC.
Pitt vs "Will Work For Food" Charlie Weiss
Pitt wins. Weiss continues concentrating on getting his resume out to the NFL heads.
And here is why I'm writing about this game.
You read it here first.
Urban Meyer will become the next head coach at ND.
Yep!!
He's sick of all the BS he's having to take being in the SEC (see Kiffin and Slive) and it's his dream job. It's all just too perfectly timed.
Remember who you heard it from first as not just speculation....but as a point of fact!
The Auburn Tigers vs Thieves, Thugs, and Rapers of Small Children
I will not predict the outcome of this game. The reason being that I have never bet on this game nor given a prediction of it's outcome for fear/superstition that it will hurt my beloved Tigers' chances.
But let me tell you of the Sodom and Gomorrah that lies to the northeast of Atlanta. They practice the Black Arts over there. Women do things that God instructed us as his creatures not to do!! Men do even WORSE things over in that place!!!
They can't keep any pets around that city because the students over in Athens, GA keep kidnapping them and sacrificing them to the god Baal!!!
And for all this wickedness....judgement is coming you fans of THUGA!!
Judgement is coming.
I wish all of you the very best of weekends and pray for your safety if you travel anywhere. Enjoy this final stretch of the best time of the year and may your team win......unless your a Georgia fan and then I wish nothing but pain and heartache on you!!
BLEHHHHH!!
Screw 2012....THIS Is The End of The World, Man!!!

Week 10 - How The West Was Won
Week 9 Recap and Thoughts
Happy Friday and I hope that all my good readers have had a good week and are looking ahead to a most excellent weekend. If not...well then it must suck to be you.
Haa Haa! Just kidding...I would never talk to my adoring followers that way.
So did you sit back in awe of AUWins last weekend? Did you say to yourself, "My God!! How does he KNOW this stuff???"
Okay so I tried for once in my adult life to be kind to the lowly mutt fans out there just to make them feel better about their pathetic team. But even the great AUWins had zero clue that Saint Mark would enter the field on Halloween with his team dressed as Grambling. Had I had any inkling of this last gasp of desperation from a fallen coach and a fallen program, I would have taken the Gay Turds as big favorites (once I was able to quit laughing that is).
So did you do as I said and take the Quack Quacks big over USC? You didn't? Well let that be a lesson to you then. Whe AUWins speaks, E F Hutton listens! So does everyone else.
Did you take Auburn over Ol' Piss? You didn't? Well let that be the second lesson in your learning process oh grasshopper.
Are you tired of reading AUWins' bragging? Okay, on to Week 10.....
Week 10 Matchups and Predictions
Can you actually believe that we are already at week 10 of the college football season? Does it really seem like 10 whole weeks ago that you were reading AUWins' Week 1 blog in rapt attention?? Good grief!! If only the friggin' NBA season would seem to come and go this fast!!!
On to my invaluable insights and prognostications (that's the same as "predictions" for you bammers and mangy mutt lovers out there.)
Hawkeyes vs Northwestern
Sorry...I just can't come up with anything decent to name these two teams other than their already bland real names. So why am I bothering to mention this game? Because AUWins believes this could be the shocker of the weekend. The upset no one sees coming. Iowa has lived on the edge all year. You live THAT close EVERY game...it's gonna come back to haunt you against someone that you least expect.
I would put a small wager down on the Wildcats. Not enough to cause me any heartache like that one girl I knew who could do amazing things with her........
Directional school in a close one.
The Waddling Hippo vs Navy
Navy is getting their QB back this week along with some other key players. Neutered Damsel keeps flirting with disaster with these smaller programs. I think Navy scares the ever-lovin' touchdown Jesus out of Fatboy and Casey "My Face Always Looks Like I Smell A Fart" Clausen.
ND hasn't played an away game all year, and this is yet another homer for the irish. They'll get that unbelievable lucky play or break and win a heartstopper.
Coke Bottles For Glasses vs The Most Overhyped Team In History
Yes it's JoePa vs The Sweater ladies and gentlemen!! Aren't you excited??? Aren't you on the edge of your seat for this huge game of national .....well.....regional.....okay ZERO implications?
No I didn't think so. As my good friend once said, I'd rather watch a hayride. If it's snowing or bad weather up there in Gay Valley I might watch a few minutes to laugh at the northern idiots who sit in that crap every year. Other than that the winner of this game gets a Rodney Dangerfield special. (That's a free bowl of soup for you non-Caddyshack followers)
I think Pryor is totally unreliable against good defenses. I believe The Oldest Living Human will rely on his defense to pressure the overhyped QB sensation into multiple mistakes and will win at home. Like most all Little 10 games it will be boring, plodding and just downright unwatchable.
The Aflac Ducks vs A Tree
I don't have a lot of insight on this game, mainly because AUwins hasn't see ANY Stanford games this season. It's at Stanford. Oregon is coming off a monumental win for their program last weekend (that yours truly predicted). Harbaugh is an excellent coach and has this program moving up.
Watch this one in the fourth quarter to see an exciting finish. The Amazing Multi Colored Uniforms win a nailbiter on the road.
The Pure Bred Rednecks vs The Coonasses
Hence this week's blog title. This is for the Western division of the SEC. Bammer is coming off a bye and lsu might as well be (Tulane last week in a blowout). It's at bammer, which in a twist of irony is actually in favor of....get this...LSU!!! The coons have won their last FOUR at the ugliest, most unkept field in college football.
I'm not sold on The Asshat's team though. I think Auburn made the bayou bengals look like world beaters and that has everyone saying "Ooooo...look at lsu!"
Well....sorry coonasses! AU has made just about everyone look great during the month of October. You're QB is still unreliable and you have no real running game to speak of.
Bammer will completely shut down lsu's rushing attack, force George Jefferson (WHEEZY!!!) to throw and while their offense will probably still sputter the D will acount for 14 points.
A fairly easy V for the elephants at home.
The Laters vs The Children of the Corn
I am pretty puzzled by this game. Bo P. has not brought this Nebraska team very far from where they already were in close to two seasons now. It's at home though, and I am wondering if Stoops' boys have any real fire left in their belly. Their season's pretty much over.
Something tells me Nebraska, coming off a huge loss last week (I think, can't rememeber off hand), pulls it all together for a major effort this weekend and makes the cornball nation all giddy and happy for the first time since .....well forever over there.
My good Nebraska friends will be drinking a few extra this Saturday in celebration.
College Football's Greatest Team vs Furman University Christian Knights
Did you miss it? Huh?
Wanna know why no one ever writes out Furman's official mascot? Hmmmm?? Got it now??? Therrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre ya go!
This is a key fo AU because most of the exhausted starters at this point in the season will get some key rest for the home stretch against THUGA and the tahd.
That's it. What? You expected something profound about playing a AA school?
I hope that all of you have a terrific weekend and stay safe. Enjoy all the great football and we'll talk again next week for episode 11. Things gettin' ready to get interesting now folks........

AUWins AUsome College Football Blog - Week 9
AUWins AUsome College Football Blog Week 9
This Week - The World's Largest Outdoor Collection Of Buffoons All Gather 'Round
Intro and Recap of Week 8
Good day to all of the loyal readers and followers of the AUWins blog.
Well, as you may have wondered after reading last week's entry good friends, something happened to AUWins. I was kidnapped by hooded liberals from Washington and in my place, Al Gore, Master of Disaster, wrote a FAKE blog with my name on it. THE NERVE!!! AUWins killed all of his would be kidnappers and sacked Al but not before he had put his rubbish out there for all to see under my good name.
Silly predictions such as Mizzou hanging close with Texas, and Rich Rod beating JoePa turned out to be just like all of Al's other outrageous predictions about the earth getting all hot and bothered. I will give Al some credit though for his other predictions which were pretty spot on.
I apologize for this inconvenience and promise that it will not happen again. I flew Al up to Antartica to exeperience global warming. He will be getting back to us soon to let us know just how hot it is up there now.
Week 9 Insights and Predictions
This is the week during the season where there is a lull in the intensity of the matchups. A couple here and there to make the weekend interesting...but predominantly a lighter weekend than most. That being said.....
The Extras From Deliverance vs. Da Bulls
Why bother with this game? I would normally say to take W. VA easily in this given how badly South Fla. looked last week. But I think that this game stays close through the fourth quarter. The bulls have a pretty decent team there and the game IS at S. FL. Can West VA pull out another sphincter episode? Okay...I'll give the Appalachian Rednecks another close V.
The Gay Turds vs The Toiletlappers
Hey, it's really the biggest game of the week if you live in the south. Not because the series has been a barn burner or anything lately, but because the rest of us can sit back and make jokes about how foolish both fanbases look making arses out of themselves at the biggest excuse for drinking known in America short of the Super Bowl.
Trivia fact: That vaunted hall of learning, uga, actually CANCELS classes on the Friday before the game every year so the "students" (cough! cough!!) can go to the game. Now there's academic integrity for ya!!
Seriously speaking, I honestly believe the cards are stacking up for THUGA this year. God's Most Beloved Son has been playing not only like a mere mortal this season....but just plain, downright AWFUL the past couple of weeks. TWO (2) pick sixes against Miss State last week??? Are you joking???????
THUGA had last week off. It's just setting up for a huge game for the mutts.
I think UGay gives the lizards everything they want and more....and wins. Yep! You heard it right here.
Colt McCoy vs "I'M A MAN!!! I'M FORTY!!"
If not for the Texas QB, the steers are an average offense with a really good defense. Okie State is a very potent offensive weapon....WITH THEIR LEADING WR WHO THEY DON'T HAVE ANYMORE!
I think we'll see UT start slow like they have every game, but it will be their D who will dominate and by the second half. On paper it should be a good, close game....but I think you'll see Texas have THAT breakout game in the second half and put it on "I'm a man!"
Straight Outta Compton vs Guys Who Actually Lived In Compton
(For those readers who are not as hip as AUWins (ha!) that is a hip hop reference for USC vs Oregon)
I think this will be the best matchup of the weekend! Oregon has looked really, really good ever since their opening season rendition of Ali vs Holmes at Boise State. What does this prove? It proves that when a coach gets rid of a thug...he only HELPS his program!!! Let that be a lesson to all of college football.
It's AT Oregon, and while AUWins has never been anywhere near the place, the reputation of their stadium precedes them. I realize that this Barkley kid has performed outstandingly on the road this year...but Oregon knows just how huge this game could be them and their bid for the Rose Bowl. I think it will close through 3....but in the fourth Oregon and their home crowd will tear it open and (here is the big AUWins prediction for the week!) win by 14!!
Tigger The Cuddly Tiger vs The Racists
Of all my predictions this year, one of the most dead on accurate was last week's prognastication that not only would lsu cover...but that the game in baton rouge would be over quickly and get ugly.
I've never been so sick to my stomach for being right in my life!
AU fans keep hoping that this hard turn southwards for Auburn ends that upcoming weekend. So far it hasn't. But while ol' piss has begun to play somewhat better in the last few contests, Auburn is just DUE!! Major due!!!
If my dear readers want an inside slant on an upset to make up some points/money this weekend, take Auburn to win. There have been a couple of developments behind the scenes this past week including the decision to let El Toro The Bull out of his cage (he had a huge game against the Asshat last weekend), and the defense will be clicking along much better than recently.
Well, that's a wrap for yet another glorious upcoming weekend dear friends. Keep safe and enjoy this most wonderful time of the year. Til next week, God bless and WAR EAGLE!!

Not because the series has been a barn burner or anything lately, but because the rest of us can sit back and make jokes about how foolish both fanbases look making arses out of themselves at the biggest excuse for drinking known in America short of the Super Bowl.
Trivia fact: That vaunted hall of learning, uga, actually CANCELS classes on the Friday before the game every year so the "students" (cough! cough!!) can go to the game. Now there's academic integrity for ya!!
Seriously speaking, I honestly believe the cards are stacking up for THUGA this year. God's Most Beloved Son has been playing not only like a mere mortal this season....but just plain, downright AWFUL the past couple of weeks. TWO (2) pick sixes against Miss State last week??? Are you joking???????
THUGA had last week off. It's just setting up for a huge game for the mutts.
I think UGay gives the lizards everything they want and more....and wins. Yep! You heard it right here.
Colt McCoy vs "I'M A MAN!!! I'M FORTY!!"
If not for the Texas QB, the steers are an average offense with a really good defense. Okie State is a very potent offensive weapon....WITH THEIR LEADING WR WHO THEY DON'T HAVE ANYMORE!
I think we'll see UT start slow like they have every game, but it will be their D who will dominate and by the second half. On paper it should be a good, close game....but I think you'll see Texas have THAT breakout game in the second half and put it on "I'm a man!"
Straight Outta Compton vs Guys Who Actually Lived In Compton
(For those readers who are not as hip as AUWins (ha!) that is a hip hop reference for USC vs Oregon)
I think this will be the best matchup of the weekend! Oregon has looked really, really good ever since their opening season rendition of Ali vs Holmes at Boise State. What does this prove? It proves that when a coach gets rid of a thug...he only HELPS his program!!! Let that be a lesson to all of college football.
It's AT Oregon, and while AUWins has never been anywhere near the place, the reputation of their stadium precedes them. I realize that this Barkley kid has performed outstandingly on the road this year...but Oregon knows just how huge this game could be them and their bid for the Rose Bowl. I think it will close through 3....but in the fourth Oregon and their home crowd will tear it open and (here is the big AUWins prediction for the week!) win by 14!!
Tigger The Cuddly Tiger vs The Racists
Of all my predictions this year, one of the most dead on accurate was last week's prognastication that not only would lsu cover...but that the game in baton rouge would be over quickly and get ugly.
I've never been so sick to my stomach for being right in my life!
AU fans keep hoping that this hard turn southwards for Auburn ends that upcoming weekend. So far it hasn't. But while ol' piss has begun to play somewhat better in the last few contests, Auburn is just DUE!! Major due!!!
If my dear readers want an inside slant on an upset to make up some points/money this weekend, take Auburn to win. There have been a couple of developments behind the scenes this past week including the decision to let El Toro The Bull out of his cage (he had a huge game against the Asshat last weekend), and the defense will be clicking along much better than recently.
Well, that's a wrap for yet another glorious upcoming weekend dear friends. Keep safe and enjoy this most wonderful time of the year. Til next week, God bless and WAR EAGLE!!

AUWins AUsome College Football Blog - Week 8
AUWins AUsome College Football Blog - Week 8
This Week: MAYHEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"No one here gets out alive....." Jim Morrison
Greetings all of my loyal and great readers!! I know you missed your weekly AUWins blog last week and so did I (writing it)...but AUWins has been a busy little boy at work and there was just not enough time to give you, my beloved followers, the time and insight that you have to come to expect of this AUsome blog!
But that was yesterday. On to this weekend's allotment. And ya better have your helmets strapped on tight...dear reader!
Week 8 Matchups and Predictions
Despite what you are about to read in this blog, let me state for the official record that this week will be like a nuclear bomb going off in the middle of the college football world. Continents will shift. Animals will turn against one another. The fish of the sea will rise up and invade all of us land dwellers. Get the point?
By late Saturday night, because of the matchups we have this weekend, chaos will reign supreme in land of college football.....and especially the BCS standings.
The Ga Tech Bumblebees vs The University of Snootyville
If you're a Tech fan this game scares the ever-loving bejesus out of you. Tech has not won AT Virginia since 1990!!!! That's 20 frickin' years ago!!!! No matter how bad VA may have been in past years or how good Tech was...the Cavaliers always found some way to beat the Jackets in what may be the tamest stadium in the country outside of an Ivy League school (of which some may actually consider Virginia if you ever met a grad from there...but I digress).
The difference maker for Tech this time in Charlottsville is their head coach. Paul Johnson will literally WILL this team to victory. He won't let them keep making mistakes or playing badly if they start out that way. Tech will win...but Al and his boys will keep this game uncomfortably close throughout.
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeechigan vs The Ol' Cumudgeon
This is the weekend Joepa gets exposed in a major way. They already lost at home to a so so Iowa squad. Michigan isn't a great team by any stretch...but Lil' Richie will outrun and outfox the worlds' oldest living man and beat the cowardly lions in the Big House.
Joepa will try to strangle a ref after the game but no one will admonish him because "that's just good ol' Joe".
The Kurmson Taaaaaahd vs Father and Son Renunion
I've actually heard some media mouths trying to raise the spectre of Monty's defense making this a game.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Bama wins this one like they have all the others with defense and a great running game that will have the howling doggies gasping for breath by quarter 4. It will be a 14 point spread minimum.
The Green Trojans vs Clarence Birdseye
I am at a crossroads for this one. One of the more interesting picks for this weekend because while Iowa is undefeated....nobody's buying what they're sellin'. State ain't that dam bad either and the game is AT state.
I'll give the Eyes of the Sacred Hawk a lean for being undefeated and hopefully ready to defend their honor...but I don't like it!
The Fighting Roosters vs The Naval Officers No One Ever Heard Of Before
Why am I even mentioning this game? Because an old high school chum who has followed the pretend USC all his life questioned me after week 5 as to why I never mention them.
Well.....I'm mentioning ya now!
The Horny Toads vs The Guys In White Shirts and Black Ties Who Ride Bikes and Knock On Your Door
This is toughest pick of the week dear friends. I don't think anyone could say one way or the other for sure who'll take this. I believe that since it is being played in the house that Joseph Smith built (okay not really but you know what I mean), and BYU has already had their one ugly loss this season....The cult from Utah will prevail and take the frogs out of any BCS talk.
But Lord I wouldn't bet any of my own money on it......
The Steers vs The Fake Tigers From Mizzou
Why did I bring this one up? Because if you follow AUWins' blog you know that every once in a while I try to throw something your way that no one else is even watching out for. I'm not sayin'.....I'm just sayin'......
In all seriousness though, UT will pull it out. But I believe this one will be really close in the fourth quarter. Should be fun to watch.
The Real Tigers of College Football vs The Game's Biggest Asshat
How my mighty and beloved Tigers have fallen. Sigh........................
My heart says no way they can be as bad as they've been the last two weeks and that the mighty men of Auburn will come out and play like the glorious champions they are and we will all sing and dance and throw lillies at each other as we celebrate...................
Sh*t.
Ain't gonna happen.
Auburn is so thin on defense and so bad in the fundamentals (like say...tackling) that while LSWho may not be anywhere near number 9 in the nation....AU will certainly make them LOOK like a top ten team tomorrow night in that godforsaken piss hole called death valley.
If you're betting on the game with money...take an insider's word for it and take lsu and the line. It will get ugly and get even uglier. AUWins has rented a couple of pornos to watch once the game is out of hand (by the second quarter).
YAY!
I hope that all of you enjoy your 8th week of college football as much as AUWins will. Be safe if you travel...be drunk if you don't.
Let's get this thing done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AUWins AUsome College Football Blog Week 6
Week 6: BOOLA BOOLA BOOLA Wacka Wacka Wacka!!!!!
Let The Craziness Begin!!
Weekly Recap of The Previous Week's Games
The Hapless Canines vs The Worlds Luckiest Assclown
Let me just recap last week's game between THUGA and the Coonasses by saying this...Georgia's got problems. Major problems!! What should have been a blowout at YOUR house of a marginal at best team in lswho turned into one of the dullest and ugliest performances between two teams in a long time in the SEC. I saw two lsu players throwing up on the field. I heard thousands of college football fans throwing up in the stadium or at home watching that sickening mess of a football game.
Chokelohoma vs Low Tropical Depression
Went down exactly the way I told my fair readers it would...didn't it? Frankly Miami should never have struggled with Stoops Troops at all but a win is a win is a win.
The Old Man On Mount Nittany vs Illinois
Why am I even bringing this one up?? Because AUwins accidentally clicked on Illinois while making his picks and was shocked and dismayed to discover the next morning the horrific mistake. Cost AUwins 5 confidence points and there were things broken in AUwins' house that day.
The Cougars vs The Pony's
You're sh*ttin' me right??? Game doesn't even start until something like 4:00 in the friggin' morning so AUwins and his loyal readers can't even follow the dam game...then I find out the next morning that June Jones actually beat the upstarts from Houston. I shoulda known better. That's what I hate about having to pick these WAC and Mountain West teams. They all lose after a few wins because they are small time and can't handle success!! All these small conferences should be banned from playing football!!!
And finally........
Remember this line from last week's blog re: the Semen Holes?
"This will be Bobby's last year. He will announce his retirement in the coming weeks before the end of the season."
Am I Nostra f*ckin' Damus or what people???!!!! hee heee
Okay so on to the games of Week 6.
Week 6 Games of Note
The Roosters With Amazingly Big Balls vs The Catholics
Va Tech benefitted greatly from it's opening game with bama. They learned their weaknesses from the outset and were able to work them out in the first several games after that while accumulating W's. The "other" catholic school NOT known as notre dame has played really good defense...but their offense is pretty godawful to watch. It's at Lame Stadium (the most overrated college gameday experience in the nation...what's with the key shaking???) and I just don't think The Boys of The Inquisition can matchup for four quarters with Frank "Don't Pay Attention To That Flap of Skin Hanging From My Left Jaw" Beamer.
The Roosters With Removed Testicles win it by at least 1o.
The Crimson Elephants vs The Yeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwws
Okay so now Houston Nutt can go back to coaching from the only way he knows...underdog. But don't get any ideas that Jevon Snead is suddenly going to get hot against a defense like the tahd's. It will be the closest game to date for bama, but they still won't be sweatin' it in the fourth quarter. Tide by 13.
The Swampwater Coonasses vs God's Most Beloved Son
I don't mean to be or sound sacrilegious, but while I don't have anything personal against Tebow this whole 2 weeks of nothing but "The Concussion" talk has been the worst example of sports journalism (cough!! cough!!!) ever. No one knows how to simply let the f***n thing go!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!! DAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!
Tebow will play (of course) and will be limited and inefficient. Once again The Asshat gets a HUGE break by having UF in HIS house AT NIGHT and lswho will play just well enough to pull a squeaker out.
Prediction: Tebow will make several critical and uncharacteristic errors in this game to give lsu points. They'll yank him some time in the second half and put in that other kid but it will be too little too late.
* A side note: I'd love to be wrong here. As an AU fan I need Les to lose. But I never takes sides against a man THAT lucky in his career again.
Games To Keep An Eye On
The School of the Overhyped vs The Cheesemakers
OSU at home. Should be a straight up win...right? I think this game will come down to the last possession. I think Wisconsin has looked better than the Butt Eyes so far...but I'm leaning towards a slight homefield advantage here with Tressel winning it by 3 or less.
Wolverines vs Hawkeyes (I'm too worn out to make up a name for these two)
Hawkeyes are undefeated....but God do they look bad. Just like their swampwater maggot lookalikes in baton rouge. Michigan has done well this season to be in every game. However this is a night game at Iowa. I think it's close but I'll give the 'eyes the W at home in burner.
The Tigers Of The Plains vs The Menu at Dreamland
I've never been happier to be wrong than I was last week in picking UT over my Tigers. I have to say though, that even at 5-0 AU's defense and special teams are still waaaaaaay too shaky to be predicting road wins against good opponents. Arky isn't a solid team but they got that giant of a QB who's already passed for something like 8,000 TD's this year. My Tigers are depleted at linebacker and last week against Johnathan InCromptonence they looked really bad on some plays.
It's a shootout down on the farm. I believe that AU's D is a little bit better than Arky's and our O is just a tad bit more balanced with our running game. I'll try not to jinx my boys but will take AU by 3 in a heartstopper.
I hope all of you whether you're travelling to your favorite team's stadium this weekend, or sitting back on the couch slamming brewskies all day, have a great one and be safe out there you crazy kids!!!
Til next week.....

AUWins AUsome College Football Blog Week 5
This Week: Hammer Meets Nail!!!!
Hello again all my wonderful readers out there in the college football world. This week's blog will be somewhat short and sweet. Why you may ask? Well, because AUWins has too much to do at work and his Friday lunch is being cut short so I don't have a helluva lotta time! HA!
Let's have a quick recap of last week then look ahead to week 5's exciting line up.
Week 4 Recap and Learnings
Scalphunters vs Bulls
Okay, so who out there actually PREDICTED this one??? Are you JOKING??!!! For the second straight week in a row, Bowden's boys threw up the biggest upset...except this time it was by LOSING to USF who was playing their backup QB at FSU. This will be Bobby's last year. He will announce his retirement in the coming weeks before the end of the season.
LSWho vs Poor Man's Bulldogs
I sincerely believe that Les "The Mess" Miles has a signed pact with Mephostopheles. Asshat can't really coach and yet he always has just enough talent to win him games like this past week's against bottom dweller Miss State. Take one Chad Jones out of the game, and Miss State actually wins by 14.
The Low Tropical Depression vs Roosters Suddenly With BALLS!!
Never seen bad weather so totally take a good team out of their game plan like it did Miami. That was horrible!! Cost AUWins a lot of points too in my pickem!
Iowa vs The Old Man On Mount Nittany
Was anybody surprised Penn State was yet again shown for being just some average lumbering Big 10 team?
Week 5 Games To Watch
Oklahoma Laters vs Low Tropical Depression
Worst thing that coulda happened to OK was for Va Tech to beat Miami senseless in Blacksburg. I think OK is a good team with an excellent defense, and this will NOT be a blowout. But I believe Miami playing at home will win this one and put Chokelahoma's season on ice in the first weekend in October.
The Mangy Mutts vs The Asshat
Les Miles won't win AT Athens with THAT team he showed the first 3 games. Mark Richt will have some of the problems corrected that THUGA has had in week 5 and I'm actually guessing that it could get rather ugly for the coonasses. The leghumpers win by a sizable margin (14+) and the grumbling in Baton Rooooooooooooooge starts to become audible.
The Condoms vs The Leftist Commies
Don't even think that Cal has a shot here. USC lost their only game of the season because of an injured QB who couldn't play. He's back and USC comes out this weekend and MAKES A STATEMENT! Mark it down. Cal will slither under the nearest rock after this ass beating!
The Pachyderms vs The Toothless Mountain Lions
As much as I dislike my arch rival, their defense is probably the best in the nation and their offense is much better than expected. Rich Brooks will have a brain aneurysm in the 2nd quarter when bammer blocks a punt and runs it in for 7 more to make it 49 - 0.
The Glorious Heroes Of Auburn vs The Extras From "Deliverance"
I love my Tigers more than many things in life (sorry Ethel, you were beautiful), but I have a BAAAAAAAAAAAD feeling about their first road trip up in THEM THAR HILLS!! I believe UT's defense will stiffen up and force AU to go to the air. While Auburn will have some success on offense, my fear as a fan that it will not be enough to overcome what is one of the worst special teams units in the country.
I have never wanted to be more wrong...but I believe AU's special teams gives UT 10 point and loses by 3. AUWins will be, for one day at least, AULoses.
Well there you have it friends. I hope that you all have a great, relaxing and safe college football weekend. Enjoy all the games and after this Saturday, the college football landscape will be consirably changed with many overrated teams losing for the first, or even SECOND time.
See you next week!

As much as I dislike my arch rival, their defense is probably the best in the nation and their offense is much better than expected. Rich Brooks will have a brain aneurysm in the 2nd quarter when bammer blocks a punt and runs it in for 7 more to make it 49 - 0.
The Glorious Heroes Of Auburn vs The Extras From "Deliverance"
I love my Tigers more than many things in life (sorry Ethel, you were beautiful), but I have a BAAAAAAAAAAAD feeling about their first road trip up in THEM THAR HILLS!! I believe UT's defense will stiffen up and force AU to go to the air. While Auburn will have some success on offense, my fear as a fan that it will not be enough to overcome what is one of the worst special teams units in the country.
I have never wanted to be more wrong...but I believe AU's special teams gives UT 10 point and loses by 3. AUWins will be, for one day at least, AULoses.
Well there you have it friends. I hope that you all have a great, relaxing and safe college football weekend. Enjoy all the games and after this Saturday, the college football landscape will be consirably changed with many overrated teams losing for the first, or even SECOND time.
See you next week!

AUWins Ausome College Football Blog Week 4
AUWins College Football Blog Week 4
Tonight's Exciting Episode: The Calm Before The Storm!
Welcome once again all of my brethren and sisters of the church of the Fall Saturday! I trust that in the first 3 weeks you have been blessed with as much fun and excitement as I, you're loyal and faithful blogger. So much has already happened to scramble the hunt for the national champion this year. And if you think that all the big upsets and all the huge surprises are over...BWAAAAAAAAA HAA HAAA HAAAAA!!!
Week 4 has several good/interesting contests...but it's the week of the season where a lot of teams are playing one of their last patsies before conference play begins in earnest next week for everyone. It's the calm before the storm (hence the title of this week's blog...well you get it)
Some initial thoughts of retrospection on Week 3...
USC and UW
There are a lot of "sayings" in college football. Some hold true while other sayings tend to be proven wrong over time. There is, however, one saying that has stood the test of time. It goes something like, "If you have two quarterbacks, then really don't have ANY quarterbacks." Every year we see teams try to juggle the 2 QB system. Every head coach thinks HIS TEAM will be the exception. Sorry Pete...even your mighty Trojan horse got brought down (yet again I might add) by another inferior Pac 10 school. This time your Achilles Heel was starting another QB in place of the young man who dazzled the nation against the U of Northern Rednecks the week before. Now, I know that Barkley was supposedly injured, but I gathered that you, Mr. Carroll, were playing a little fast and loose with the notion that one week you could play a true freshman on the road and win and then the very next week start another guy with limited experience on the road and come out victorious as well.
Sorry........
The Joseph Smith's vs The Semen Holes
Good God! I lost my arse on this pickem!! Jeeeeeeeeeeeez...Louise!! You GOTTA be joking!!
The U of The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat vs The Utes (Not Youths...Utes!)
Displaying their 45th uniform combo...the U of Oregon presented the nation with the ugliest thing ever seen with their grey pants and whatever the hell they were wearing up top. Utah never regained their composure after seeing Oregon come out onto the field for warmups and lost the game badly.
Okay, enough bitching about week 3. Let's look ahead to week 4 and get some gold nuggets of wisdom from yours truly.
Week 4 Key Matchups
Hokies vs Miami
If you're not impressed with Miami so far, then you just have thing against Miami! Jacory Harris looks totally unflappable and has command over his passing game. The running game is also coming around as opponents begin to respect the passing attack for Miami. The team's overall speed looks like Miami of old. Matching Harris and Taylor is no contest. Miami will go to Blacksburg and win convincingly up there.
Cal vs The Quacking Quacks
For all that transpired on week 1 against Boise...I am starting to believe that Oregon might just jump up and be a decent team and a contender in the PAC 10 after all this season. What they did to Utah last week has me (and many other fans too) scratching their head. The game is AT Oregon, one of the loudest stadiums in the country. I think this is a tossup game coming down to the team with the ball last either winning it or losing it on the final drive. I'll take Cal...but I ain't puttin' no money on it!
The Filthy Farm Animals vs The Cirmsen Tahd (phonetically spelled for bammers)
You may think that just because this Mallett kid threw the ball all over a horrific excuse for a defense last week that bammer might be in trouble. Forget it. Bama has had two off weeks to fine tune the engine and that engine is getting ready to run over Bobby Boy in Tusks Are Loosers this Saturday (sorry Gary!) Yeah, Arky might score a couple of first half touchdowns as the bama D settles in...but it will most likely get ugly enough for Petrino to be on his cell by fourth quarter asking his agent to begin the job search again.
Okie State vs Grambling State
Chaaaa!! Right!!
The Oldest Human on Earth vs Iowa
Sorry, I know I already used "Oldest Human on Earth" in an earlier blog for Joe, but I like it. It's pretty damn funny.
I think that Iowa is way too inconsistent to go into Gleeful Dip In the Land and win. I don't think Penn St. is really all that great from what little I've seen, but they don't look bad either. Joe gets another W to stay well ahead of St. Bowden now that the NCAA has finally decided to sanction the MF for all the years of cheating down there in Tallahassee!!
Games To Keep An Eye On
Not a ton this week. Remember the name of this week's blog. Calm before the storm. But....
Stanford vs UW
The Huskies are on the road against Jim Harbaugh and a not-so-friggin-bad team in Stanford. After the program defining upset last Saturday, we all know how hard it will be for Washington to come back down to earth...especially on the road. I believe the Cardinal takes it and the guy in the tree costume gets peed on by the Washington mascot in the 3rd quarter.
The Herschel Walkers vs That Guy Who Used To Coach Miami
No reason THUGA shouldn't win this one. I'm certainly not going to predict the upset. But the puppies have been living dangerously all season (losing one already) and I don't think too many leghumper fans are going to just assume a V here. Georgia wins at home but the D will most likely continue to struggle and give up points. Willie Martinez has to change his phone number after this Saturday so Mark Richt will quit calling him and threatening his family.
Houston vs The Pirates of the Caribbean (Aarrrrrgh!!)
Frankly I have ZERO clue as to how this game will go. Yeah, UH beat the dogshite out of an overhyped, overanked Okie State team. But Mike "I'm a Pirate" Leach is just too good (and too WEIRD) to lose a game like this. Unless Tech is just way overmanned here, I see the red raiders taking this one in a wild shootout....or swordfight...or whatever pirates do in battle.
So that's it! Please tell your fellow college fans to come on board and read. Feel free to leave a comment or your own take on some of these matchups! Until next week when we REALLY get going...enjoy, be safe, and drink heavily!!

Week 3 AUWins AUsome College Football Blog
Week 3: Rubber Meets The Road
Welcome all of my good friends and fellow college football fans! I trust that after two weeks you are having as much fun this year as I am watching all the great CF action around the country. Let's make a couple of quick comments about last week's games before launching into this week's matchups.
Notes From Week 2
Ohio St sold its soul and its future to the recruiting gurus who have taken over college football. Terrell Pryor, as I suspected all along, is just another fast runner who's big and occasionally can fling the ball a long way if he's without pressure. One thing he is NOT...is a first rate college QB.
THUGA is at a crossroads this season going into Arky. Yeah you scored 30 plus against the roosters...but they scored 30 plus on your D too. This week will determine if you have a mediocre to good season and a horrible one. You need to beat Arky there. If you don't, the wheels come off the rest of the way with fans griping and moaning and the team doing the same.
The last drive performance by Barkley for USC Saturday was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen a freshman do in CF. Wow!!
Week 3 Matchups
Okay boys and girls, this week is where the STUFF really starts to fly! There are a host of games that could go any way. Teams are now being matched with fairly equal talent and it's anyone's guess as to who the winner will be.
God's Favorite Player vs The Assclown From Smoky Country
First know this. No game could ever be as big a blowout as everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) is predicting when you match two big time SEC foes like this. The line is way too big for UF here. UT may not be any good...but even with dipsh*t for a head coach and his older than dirt father calling the D, UT has too much pride and talent to let UF whip them as badly as it's being touted. UF wins...but the spread will be more like 21 at MOST.
St. Mark vs Judas Iscariot
If you don't know who Judas was it's because you're an aetheist and you're going to hell. So don't worry 'bout it! As I stated above, this is the swing game for the mutt's season. I don't like Bobby "Where's My Next Job" Petrino, but I'm pulling for him to beat the doggies at his house and send them packing for the rest of the season. However, realistically we don't know that much about Arky yet. They've only played one game so far. THUGA has been in the fire twice now and is 1-1. I don't have a clue as to who's gonna win this game. Simply not enough info. My hunch? THUGA's boys are tired of hearing how bad they are so far this season. They'll pull together on the road and pull out a V in hogland.
Games to Watch Out For
Be ready to see about half your picks this week be wrong!! I'm serious. There are just simply too many close matchups this week. For me...I'm just hoping I can come away lightly damaged in my CF pool after Saturday. Here's some games that I think go either way.
UNC vs Lou's Son
I predicted last week that Uconn would give Butch and his boys all they could handle. I think the same thing happens again this week. East Carolina is a pretty solid team...and they aren't happy about losing to W. VA last week. I'll give the tar heels a V only because it's at home, but I wouldn't bet my own money on it.
Boise St. vs Fresno St.
I haven't the foggiest!! Tossup game.
Condoms vs West Coast Version of Dawgs
If you bet money on college football....take my advice and stay the HELL away from this game!!! I mean it!! Barkley may not play and they are coming off a HUUUUUUGE emotional win at the northern redneck capital. UW has been playing well under what's his Italian face. DON'T TOUCH IT!!
The Socialists vs The Gophers
Cal looks pretty solid so far. But they gotta play Minn. at the new stadium in the land of a thousand lakes. I hate, hate, hate this game from a pickem standpoint. Absolutely HATE IT!! I'll take the talent of Cal over the dirt digging rodents...but I don't like it. Not one bit. Ewweeeee!!
The Manly Men of AU vs the Hatfields and McCoys
Auburn has progressed light years from where it ended the nightmare that was the 08 season. Without dumbf*ck Tony Franklin submarining the offense, AU actually is back to resembling an SEC caliber team this year. After two weeks of getting used to the new coaching staff and the new offensive and defensive philosophies...in comes West Va. It will be a TEST! Last week the mountaineer's QB put up 4 TD's and looked like Mr. All-World. Can the AU defense which has looked a little shaky in sections hold him and the little midget Noel Devine? We'll see. I'm a homer, which means I'm predicting AU wins but in a close game by 4. AUWins may suffer a stroke in the process but it'll be fun just so long as my beloved Plainsmen come out with a win.
I wish all my readers a happy 3rd weekend of college ball. Enjoy, be safe and War Eagle!!!

AUWins AUsome College Football Blog Week 2
Hello again everybody from the land of milk and honey and by honey I don't mean the kind that bees make. Try to figure that out why I finish my incredibly insightful points about the upcoming weekend in college football!
I trust that all of my faithful followers had a great Labor Day weekend and enjoyed all the college football we had on display last week. As I predicted, Ohio State struggled mightily with the Navy option attack. What I could NOT predict is the Navy's head coach (okay, YOU go ahead and try to pronounce it!) would make such a boneheaded play call on the 2 point conversion to literally hand the hard fought game over to the butteyes. Horrible!
It was also no real surprise that the tahd from bama tore loose on the circumsized roosters in the fourth quarter. I had thought it would come down to mistakes and that the more experienced hokies would make less of them. Turned out it was simply a matter of who was the stronger man. As usual in that type of contest, the SEC prevailed.
Finally, I believe THUGA may be in trouble. Trust me, as an Auburn fan I've seen it up close and personal.
So what words of impeccable wisdom do I have for this week? Let us pray....
Weekend 2 Notable Matchups
The Butt Eyes vs U of Spoiled Children
Let me state this up front. I believe T. Pryor is one of the most overhyped kids in a long time in CF. I told one of my buddies last weekend as we watched him against Navy that so far he looks like a taller and larger Mike Vick. No real consistency with his passing game. State will ride his legs and hope he's another V. Young but so far he's not. On the other side of this you have a true freshman QB for the used condoms. I don't like that when you combine it with being on the road in one of the largest football stadiums in the country. However, I just feel in my gut that the surrounding speed and talent at SC is better than the home field advantage of OSU. I think this game is close for 3 quarters, but then Pryor will fumble or throw an INT in the fourth and then the wheels will come off .
USC by 10.
The Leps vs Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecheegan
If you put Fattyboy up against the Mountain West and WAC (minus Boise St) all season then Lou Holthhhhz could see his sexual fantasy come true and the fighting fairy boys would win a NC. But Michigan is not a lowly Mtn West or WAC team. And while we don't really know just how improved they are this season, the dancing green leprechauns are at the big house and I think the home field advantage and the coaching advantage of Richy boy will prevail.
UM by 7 and Charlie Wies splits his britches bending over to retrieve his dropped stat sheet.
Games Worth Keeping An Eye On (Just for fun)
UNC vs UConn
I hate these kinds of games because the lesser team (in this case, UConn) usually play really well and can pull off the upset, but they can also go in and lay an egg too. I think this is one of the better chances to see an upset this weekend. UConn is fiesty with something to prove every time they take the field. They played well last weekend scoring in bunches. UNC had better NOT have tar heels tomorrow!
The 'Cuse vs The Worlds Oldest Living Human
Yeah they lost late last weekend to Minnesota. But just as I had a funny feeling about Navy and OSU last weekend I'm telling you to chech the halftime score of this one and see what's going on before writing the orangemen off.
bama vs fla. intl
Just joking!!!! Haa haaa!
The Scholars of the SEC vs Asshat Lester and Yella Thangs
Vandy had absolutely GROSS rushing yardage last weekend. Lester and his ilk struggled on the road vs the huskies. I have a feeling The Who will play much better at home but if you're a TRUE fan of CF...you'll watch what Vandy does running the ball this weekend in redstick. I think the coonarses win it but it will be a close game late.
THUGA vs The Cockfighters
God only knows. Both of these SEC teams looked downright pathetic in week 1. It's at the toiletbowl in Athens (that's Georgia, not Greece for you bama fans out there) so I give the mutts a three point victory. Spurrier will shove his visor up Garcia's arse and then go out and play QB himself in the second half.
The Men of Auburn vs The Poor Man's bulldogs
My beloved Tigers looked strong in the second half in week one. I believe they will improve tenfold this week on both sides of the ball. But I also believe State brings in a rejuvinated program who will play hard for 3 quarters and keep it from being a blowout. In the fourth Q however, Auburn and the homefield advantage take over and we leave beautiful Jordan (that's pronounced "Jer-dan") Hare singing about how great it is to be an Auburn Tiger. AU by 13.
I trust all of my wonderful readers and followers have a terrific weekend and if you travel, travel well and travel safely.
Enjoy....and WAR EAGLE!!

It's at the toiletbowl in Athens (that's Georgia, not Greece for you bama fans out there) so I give the mutts a three point victory. Spurrier will shove his visor up Garcia's arse and then go out and play QB himself in the second half.
The Men of Auburn vs The Poor Man's bulldogs
My beloved Tigers looked strong in the second half in week one. I believe they will improve tenfold this week on both sides of the ball. But I also believe State brings in a rejuvinated program who will play hard for 3 quarters and keep it from being a blowout. In the fourth Q however, Auburn and the homefield advantage take over and we leave beautiful Jordan (that's pronounced "Jer-dan") Hare singing about how great it is to be an Auburn Tiger. AU by 13.
I trust all of my wonderful readers and followers have a terrific weekend and if you travel, travel well and travel safely.
Enjoy....and WAR EAGLE!!

Week 1 Games To Watch and Why
Hello my fellow college football friends and welcome to the very first AUwins College Football blog. We are approaching the most exciting time of the year, Fall and the wonderful game it brings with it! College football is in the air my good friends and fellow travellers...let's start this season off with week one observations. You're comments are always welcome and appreciated. Agree...disagree...give your thoughts. It's all good.
Week 1 Notable Games
1. Virginia Tech and bama
If Tech's starting RB Evans was playing it would be slightly easier to pick the more experience offense in this opener for both top ten teams. But "if" doesn't do a dam thing for you in college football, baby! The one thing I am pretty certain of is that this game won't break 40 points combined. You have two stout defenses who would normally be ahead of the offense anyway in a first game...but these two are ridiculous. You might very well have more points scored by the defenses in this game than the offenses.
In the end, I'm still tempted to take the more experienced offense (O line and QB) of Va Tech, not because they'll score more, but because they'll most likely commit fewer mistakes than the more inexperience bama O. And in a first game like this it's mistakes that win or lose the game for ya.
Va Tech by a field goal.
Oklahoma State vs Leghumpers
I just read today where State's only starter on defense was arrested last Friday and that today their starting TE left the team. Upstart programs like State scare me when predicting an outcome because they have no history to support their potential performance one way or the other. With the types of issues I just mentioned above I'm concerned for the Cowboys on Saturday. Too much hype all offseason and sometimes being the home team in such a hugely anticipated game like this one for them can actually be a detriment.
I don't like the bulldogs. I have a personal disdain for all things THUGA. But...I believe the dogs are going to be more focused on the game itself and the Cowboys are going to have too many distractions. I think somehow, someway the Toiletlappers are gonna come outta Stillwater with a win.
And then all the rest of the SEC especially those of us in Atlanta will be looking for the nearest gun to shoot the loudmouthed mutt fans up!
Other Games You Will Want To Keep An Eye On
There are some games creeping around this first weekend that I am going to tell you straight up you should keep your left eye on. They could get interesting.
1. Neutered Damsel vs Nevada - Jus' sayin.......
2. Ole Miss vs Memphis - Lotto hype vs good, solid team in first game. Memphis tends to give the Missies fits! We'll be keeping and close watch on this opener.
3. Ohio State vs Navy - Teams simply do NOT see the triple option/wishbone anymore UNLESS they happen to play Navy. Well, I don't think Navy's defense is going to stop Ohio State and their all-everything QB sensation....but this score will be closer than most would ever think because of Navy's ability to run the dam ball down your throat!!
4. Oklahoma vs BYU - Glad MY team ain't playin' no Mormons on opening day! Scary, scary, scary opener for the national title hopeful Sooners.
5. The Hat vs Washington - If it was AT lsu...not much to consider. But this game is AT WASHINGTON!! Wheeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....could be some tight sphincter muscles in baton rouge Saturday. I think the Who will pull it out...but this is a helluva an opener for the coonarses.
6. Auburn vs La Tech - We'll see if the starting talent for my beloved Tigers can overcome a rising team in La Tech for the first game. Dooley is building this program the right way and they WON their bowl game last season. I'll take a one point win and let's move on to Miss State 1-0 if you please....PLEASE!!!!!!
So there you have it! I gotta feeling that just like two years ago when the college football world watched in absolute disbelief as a small ol' Div. AA school called App State took it to the mighty Wolverines...we're gonna see one or two real surprises in week one.
Weigh in with your thoughts!! Let's get this party started again.
