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!!!
