I hope that everyone had a better week than I did, last week. You wouldn't have needed to do too much, seeing as I was almost perfect from the losing side of the equation, with an outstanding 3-7, with 11 french fries; heck you get more fries with a McDonald's Happy Meal than what I managed to obtain. Anyway, what's done is done. Time to move on.
I'm not reviewing anything from last week; it would take way too much space to type what I'm feeling in regards to last week. I know that we have some Oklahoma fans that view this thread from time to time; and, I have one question: What the heck happened? Has Stuper Duck (Bob Stoops) lost his touch? Okay, that's two questions. Moving on.
I see where the ole dumb butt Ball Coach (Steve Stupid Spurrier) has once again opened his pie hole and managed to put his entire body into his mouth. Not once, but twice. First he took a jab at Dabo Swinney after Dabo had sent his regards in hoping for a speedy recovery for Marcus Lattimore. Then, yesterday, on the Dan Patrick show, he stated that Alabama could beat some of the bottom feeders of the NFL; Jacksonville in particular. Now I ask you, has there ever been a more asinine response to a question; the question asked to Dummy was how good is this Alabama team? And that was the response he gave. So much for this week's soap box, let's get to the trashy side of this segment, my so-called attempt at picking games.
Oregon (55 for fantasy) (10 in reality) @ Southern California - If I could figure out a way, I'd place all of my points on Oregon. No contest here. The ONLY time that Southern Cal will be in the game will be at the coin toss, and that's it. That White Mule will be resigned to eating his bucket of oats, in his staging area. Oregon, more speed, more depth, better looking uniforms, much better coach (that might be the understatement of the century); sorry Chip Kelly. I didn't mean to compare you to Lane (Mr. Liar, Liar, pants on fire) Kiffin. The Ducks swim away at the speed of light over the Trojans, 48-23.
Oklahoma State @ Kansas State (9) - Shame on me for thinking that Texas Tech could hang with Kansas State. Same principle applies here as last week's contest; that it will be no contest once the Wildcats start clawing in every direction; offense, defense, special teams, you get the picture. And so will Mike Gundy and the Pokes. Bill Snyder moves one step closer to Miami. K State Over O State, 44-28.
Clemson (8) @ Duke - Is this the week that Clemson goes Clemson and loses a game in which they are supposed to win large. Could be; but, since ole Dummy (see above) opened his stupid yapper, look for Clemson to dish out some serious yardage, and hopefully a lot of points over the Blue Devils. No worries, Duke fans; basketball season is just around the corner, plus you have already achieved bowl eligibility; and, that's saying something for Duke. Tigers over the Blue Devils, 38-17.
Alabama (7) @ LSU - I remember the 70's, 80's, and the early to mid 90's, when Alabama was 14-0-1, in the Rouge. Then, along came Mike Dumbose (Dubose), and ended all of that with his attempt at coaching. I would say be careful with your selection on this game; but, LSU hasn't shown that it can move the ball through the air, and they are not going to run it down Alabama's throat. If the Tide can keep the turnovers off the boards and no special team mistakes, LSU will have no chance. Tide over the Tigers, 27-10.
Texas @ Texas Tech (6) - Just how far has Texas sunk? What does it say for your program when you need a last minute miracle just to beat a very bad Kansas team? What it says is that you have hit bottom. Don't you just know that Aggie fans are laughing their behinds off at the Longhorn faithful. Look for the Red-Raiders to bounce back this week and send the Horns a-reeling, 39-27.
Oklahoma (5) @ Iowa State - There was a time when Bob Stoops was the Master when his team was on the Big Stage. Before this year, he was un-defeated against top 10 competition, in Norman. Not anymore. I still think that Stoops has what it takes. I love the passion that he shows on the sideline, winning or losing. As for the game at hand, it will be a tough place to steal a game; but, if anybody can figure it out, Bob Stoops will. Sooners over the Cyclones, 33-21.
Arizona State @ Oregon State (4) - Note to Mike Riley of Oregon State, if you let average to bad teams hang around till late in the fourth quarter, sooner or later, they are going to ruin your season; and that's exactly what happened in Seattle, last week. Time to right the ship and get the Beavers swimming in the right direction; right into the end zone, time and time again. As for Arizona State, the Sun Devils have a hard time away from the house. Look for OSU to do enough to ease by ASU, 29-24.
Texas A&M (3) @ Mississippi State - Holy crap, A&M just scored again; said by just about every Auburn fan. Speaking of Auburn, tickets for their game against New Mexico State are going for $5.00 a pair, not a piece. Also, the game is on pay-per-view; which begs the question: What's the over/under on how many will sign up to watch this piece of garbage? I say three; Bobby Lowder, Jimmy Rane (two big boosters who don't want to be seen at the game), and the President, Jay Gouge. Back to the business at hand. A&M was able to rest ALL of their starters for two thirds of the third, and all of the fourth quarter; meanwhile, State was being hammered by the Tide. These two teams are similar in that they both run the spread offense; A&M just happens to be a little more effective with their offense than Mississippi Lite. Look for the Aggies to do enough to slide by the Bulldogs, 31-28.
Penn State (2) @ Purdue - Take note that from now till the end of the season, all B1G match ups will be at the bottom of the points list, no exceptions. At the beginning of the week, I said that Purdue would win this one. After I flipped the coin, it came up heads for Penn State. I'm serious, I flipped a coin on these last two match ups; "heads" for the visiting team and "tails" for the home team. Penn State over the Boilermakers, 27-20.
Nebraska @ Michigan State (1) - This one came up tails, so Sparty gets the nod on this one, Michigan State over Nebraska, 19-17. Remember, if you have Michigan State winning, the score has to be a low one, because the Spartans have no offense.
I make no apologies for having no reason on the B1G games, better off drawing straws, rock paper scissors, or in my case, flipping a coin. I'd like to flip them something else, and in my mind, I'm doing so, especially at Bret Bielema of Wisconsin. Remember, after last week's masterpiece, you better tread at your own risk; or, you will wind up like me, going from the penthouse to the outhouse, in one short week. Have a great weekend and enjoy the games. Roll Tide.
