Dammit Night Train, would you post your picks so I can increase my odds of going 12-0?

Crap or get off the pot, big guy!

 

The Bronco Machine here. You do darn good work, Bama. Keep it up and I'm going to nominate you for the 'CP Yell King of the Year' award.

Well, 4 hours to game time. I hate opening season games with no current track records. I can't find stats showing how many starters are returning to these teams. So on some of these picks I'm shooting in the dark. I normally pick up steam as the season moves on. By the last week of regular season games I'm hell on wheels. But don't expect much from Moi in Week 1. I generally suck.

Here goes:

Thurs, 8/30

So Carolina vs. Vanderbilt (+7) [Vanderbilt blows. Even w/7 pts and a home game So Car will literally destroy 'em. By Qrt 4 the Bilt fans will be jumping from the roof]

Fri, 8/31

Boise St vs. Michigan St (-7) [You know how I love my Broncos. But momma didn't raise no dummy. I know my limitations. I love 'em to death and I hope for a miracle and I hope I lose the pick - but sanity prevails here. I'm no waterboy. I'm a realist. 7pts won't cut it]

Tenn vs NC State (+3) [Shit, Tenn only won 3 games last year. They suck. NC State can't be much worse than than that, plus they got the 3 pt spread. No brainer]

Sat, 9/1

Notre Dame vs. Navy (+16.5) [HAH! If the Irish don't beat the squids in Ireland the refs will! HAH! You can bet your ass on that! I heard St. Patrick will be up in the press box and he sits on Jesus' steering committee. This one is over before it starts. And WTF is the government spending our tax dollars to send the squids to Ireland for a ball game in the first place. I called my Senator today and bitched like an old woman in menopause]

NorthWestern vs. Syracuse (+1) [One of those toss-up 'who gives a rat's ass?' games. Syracuse is the home team with a pt. They get my pick]

Nevada vs. Cal (-10.5) [Cal shouldn't even play Nevada. Fricken joke. I'd laugh my ass off if Cal lost. But it should be a blowout]

Miami vs. Boston College (no points) [I think this game is going to be a squeaker. Boston College is at home. That gives them the edge. Plus, the latest spread shows Boston College @ +2]

Colorado vs. Colorado St. (-6) [eeenie, meenie, minee, moe........]

Clemson vs. Auburn (+3) [Clemson has a habit of choking when the pressure is on. This game won't be any different. The 3 pts. for Auburn is icing on the cake]

Michigan vs. Alabama (-13) [Sorry, BamaBoy. The Wolverines are ranked #8. Plus, the latest odds are down to -11 for the Crimson. Somebody got some cold feet. Bama could very well beat them - but not by 2 TD's]

Sun, 9/2

Kentucky vs. Louiseville (-13.5) [Even though the game is in Louisville the spread is too wide. Like Alabama, Louisville will probably win but not beat the spread]

Mon, 9/3

Georgia Tech vs. Virginia Tech (-7.5) [VT is overrated. GT takes it to the house for a full-blown win]

Good luck to all. May the best man or woman prevail!

 

That So. Carolina game has me worried. Only about 5 min left and the gamecocks are only up by 4 - not enough to beat the spread. I don't like losing the opening pick. It's a bad omen. Fingers crossed.

It's a rebuilding year for Boise. Coach Peterson is no dummy and he might figure out a way to beat Michigan St. at home - but it won't be easy. But I just don't think they have the horsepower to do it this year. I think State wins by 8 or more.

Those Irish players always seem to get their dicks caught in a ringer. There are more scandals there than at the pagan schools. A few years back a bunch of them almost got brought on rape charges. If not for their connections I think some would have done time. But I don't think the squids have much of a chance. But 16.5 is a lot of points. But just the fact that they're playing in Ireland in front of a stadium full of Catholics is a huge ego booster. If I had a small child I wouldn't let him get within 10 miles of that stadium with all the priests that'll be there.

It seems that teams that come off a big year start out of the gates slow the following year. I think that might hold true for Bama. Like I said, there's a 85% chance they'll win - just not by 2 touchdowns. And Michigan is no pushover. And I think Toussaint plays. I don't think the coach would suspend him unless he hit a couple nuns in a crosswalk and killed them. Just a plain old DUI in 2012 is no biggie. The coach will probably ban him from hard liquor and limit him to malt liquor and wine for the rest of the season.

 

The Bronco Kid here.

Last year's Boise team would have beaten Michigan State by 3-4 touchdowns. The problem is we don't have Boise's last year's team. Last year's team was robbed of a BCS game. We have this year's team. Boise hung with them through 3 quarters of play. Leading at the end of 3. But unfortunately this year's team offense isn't worth a shit. The defense played a great game. Not the stellar defense of last year. But damn good and it kept Boise in the game. The offense didn't even score a single fucking TD. Pathetic. Boise will probably win their division but no shot at the BCS in 2012/13. But that was no surprise to me anyway.

And to add insult to injury, Boise beat the spread so I lost the pick. Fuck 'em.

I told you I suck at the beginning of the season. I lost the 3 first games: So Carolina, NC State and Michigan State. Piss poor. I don't kick into gear until the season is underway.

The good news of the day is that Kellen Moore made the 53 man roster on the Detriot Lions. That kid won't be denied. You watch him climb the ladder of success in the NFL. He's smart as a whip and his football intelligence will compensate for his physical deficits. I was elated to hear that he made the team. We'll see him on some Sunday afternoons this year. I guarantee it. The coaches like him. And you will learn that the team needs him too!

 

Dammit, why didn't one of you advertise this on the Playground?

Ok, here we go!!!

Notre Dame
Cal
Miami
Colorado
Clemson
Alabama
Louisville
Georgia Tech

 

Did you have Michigan State last night Fuckie?

 

Lib, you gotta admit. Michigan State looked like shit yesterday. No way are they deserving of a #13 spot. Despite the win they should get downgraded to #20 at best. Boise is a very mediocre team this year and their defense kicked ass on the Wolverine offense. Boise shouldn't even be in the top 40 this year. The Wolverines only beat them by 4 pts and had to struggle to do it. The State QB looked like crap. How many int's did he throw? 3? 4? I lost count. Without that RB Bell Michigan State sucks.

 

Did you folks read the latest on USC?

Yesterday Coach Lane Kiffin allowed linebacker Simione Vehikite was back on scholarship after he did more than three months in jail stemming from a no-contest plea to a pair of felonies. That really gives a good impression of college athletics and what they stand for, eh? Why doesn't Kiffin just recruit up at Corcoran State Prison instead of at the high schools. Let the prisoners who are due for parole and have football skills walk on to compete for a spot on the roster. Shit, after 5-6 years in state prison no doubt they're buffed and mean as hell. Fuck integrity and honor! Winning at all costs is what it's all about!!!

Oh, and Kiffin has banned all opposing teams from doing a walk-through on the Coliseum field prior to game day. He's afraid they're going to ruin the grass by walking on it!!! HAH! I shit you not!!!

I would laugh my silly ass off if Hawaii beats them today. I went to church this morning to pray for a Hawaii victory!!!

I was on the border line yesterday. Today I absolutely hate USC.

 

Libs, I would have picked Michigan State, had I logged in early enough. There is just something about that team that I like.

And Bronco, I've always hated USC. Kiffin just makes it easier and more popular to hate them. Go Hawaii!!!!

Oops, almost forgot. Michigan State's mascot is a Spartan. A Wolverine is UMichigan's mascot.

Most over-hyped team so far? Probably Florida State.

Go Gators! Beat Bowling Green!!

 

Fuckie - had you picked Michigan State you would've lost. They missed the spread. They suck. Michigan State should only be one notch above Boise in the polls. No more. No less.

Oh, btw, my apologies to Michigan for calling Michigan State the Wolverines. My bad. I should forfeit one pick for such an egregious error.

 

Did you see that #21 Stanford was picked to beat San Jose St. by 24 pts. and just squeaked by with 3 pts to spare? Stanford blows too!

Notre Dame beat the squids 50-10! What do you expect in Ireland? I am glad the squids got their asses kicked after an all expenses paid trip to Ireland with our tax dollars for a fucking football game. Man, does that ever piss me off!! The nation is over $16T in debt and these government college fucks travel to Ireland for a football game!

I see they cheered JoePa at Penn State today, eh???

I hope those pedophile victims put that shithole out of business!

 

Yeah, but as of right now, Penn State is losing. Ha ha.

 

Are you sure that the Catholics or NBC didn't pay the freight for the government's trip?
