It's not even November and we're talkin college basketball. VCU had their media day today and let me just say i'm ecstatic with how this team looks. The freshman all look energetic and look like their ready to run this press well. Maynor looks a lot more mature and is ready to take on the roll of being the leader of the team. He's certainly not letting all the honors get to his head.
It's funny, one of the freshmen that i'm looking forward to seeing most is Kirill. I think he's going to provide a lot to the team. He looks like a banger who can hit the 3. Certainly, a lot more likable VV. The pieces seem to be there for a nice run this season. If they can find their consistent 3rd scorer outside of Maynor and Shuler, this team will be a force.
Very excited for Thursday night to see the team in action.

Thoughts of this football Weekend
- I'm sorry...your not going to get any sympathy from me regarding UVA. Seriously though, it's good for them to lose to keep all of the intrigue of the Hokie game. They were living on borrowed time and eventually it was going to catch up to them.
- Greg is so off about the Georgia celebration. It fired the team up and brought them together. The only negative to it which could have been brought up was that it would fire Florida up too which it did briefly. I still maintain that the display gave the Bulldawgs what they needed to win.
- Hard to believe but Temple's got a huge game with Ohio this weekend which could help their chances for the MAC East title. Temple playing big games is too much to handle....ps...Their 8.5 point dogs in Vegas....ridiculous.
- Michael Crabtree had another 10 catch over 100 yards game with a touchdown game. He won't win the heisman but he's having an amazing season.
- I feel ashamed having liked the 17 points in the Skins game. This team is just so hard to figure out. Their defense has a lot of star power but they don't play like it all the time. The Jets game isn't as easy as you think. Kellen Clemens gives them more of a chance to win.
- The Eagles won...odd thing was i didn't go out of my way to watch or listen to the game. The apathy towards this team from me is staggering....usually my sunday's revolve around them.
- The NBA begins tomorrow....i'm not a huge fan of it but the Sixers are who i'll follow. they'll win about 20 games but they'll be fun to watch. I'm all about the Nuggets though as my two favorite players team up.

Week 9 College Football Picks
Week 1: 8-4
Week 2: 3-6
Week 3: 5-7
Week 4: 5-3-1
Week 5: 9-1!
Week 6: 5-4
Week 7: 4-5
Week 8: 3-3-1
Honestly, i don't think i've ever been more soaked then i was standing on the sidelines of the Hokie game last night. I was also dampened by the fact that Erin Andrews is off the market as she's dating David Wright......We won't be dampened with these picks:
Ball State +14 -- We've seen what this team is capable when they bombed away on Nebraska. Illinois D ain't that stellar plus I don't think they've chosen a QB yet. Juice Williams and McGee are like night and day.
Iowa +3 -- I like the Hawkeyes at home against MSU. I smell the Spartan slide coming soon. Iowa is good at home despite the weak offense and all of the injuries.
Washington -4 -- Arizona is putrid. Stick a fork in them after that Stanford loss. how do you lose that game? Locker has played well and the homefield equals a double digit win.
Rice +8.5 -- I'm going against my own rule. In a game of two bad teams, you always go with the home team but when the home team is as bad as Marshall, i gotta break the rule. Marshall may get their first win but that team ain't blowing anyone out.
Colorado State +6 -- I think last week woke this team up and they start to play like the talented bunch that they are. Bell and Hanie are too talented to not potentially win this game.
Toledo -3 -- NIU sucks and I really like the potential of DJ Lenehan and Opelt. Toledo is the better team and although the line reeks, i still like the home team in this game.
New Mexico State +28 -- I like them to keep the scoring up with Hawaii especially with Holbrook under center. I even think we may get a late TD in our favor. I smell a 52-27 score and that's a cover in my book.
Might add one or two but that's what i got for now.
Week 2: 3-6
Week 3: 5-7

Week 8 College Football Picks
Week 1: 8-4
Week 2: 3-6
Week 3: 5-7
Week 4: 5-3-1
Week 5: 9-1!
Week 6: 5-4
Week 7: 4-5
Woulda been another winning week if the weenies from UVA didn't blow it. Those spoiled SOB's cost me my 4th straight winning week.
Temple +7 -- Honestly, please Vegas continue to undersell the Owls. They win this game outright. If not for a few plays, Miami Ohio has a losing record. The Owls are hot right now and are the better team. Adam DiMichele may be one of the best QB's in the MAC.
Central Michigan +16.5 -- The best QB in the MAC is in death valley and i like their chances to hang around. The Chippewas are humming right now on offense and you can't help but think the Tigers won't be that into this game.
Wisconsin -23 -- NIU simply sucks. The Badgers are coming off a couple of putrid performances and will look to get going against this patsy. I'd love a 1st half play as well.
Georgia Tech -24 -- The Yellow Jackets are just that much better then Army. I hate giving so many points but i just can't see Army scoring at all.
Baylor +25.5 -- This is the craziest selection i think i've made this season. This pick is being made solely on feel. I know the QB injuries with Baylor but for some reason i see them putting up a nice performance and even knocking Colt McCoy out.
East Carolina -5 -- Two things here....The Wolfpack stink plus this is ECU's chance finally to get the Wolfpack in their house. NC State has played ECU in their place like 18 of their last 20 meetings. Don't tell me they don't want to make a statement this game by beating them up and taking recruits from them in the future.
Arizona -10.5 -- Stanford has fallen back to earth. The Wildcat D can shutdown the Cardinal's attack.
These are my favorite games....some leans i have that i'd like more opinions on....Tulsa +3, Nevada -7, UAB +13
Week 2: 3-6
Week 3: 5-7
Week 4: 5-3-1
Week 5: 9-1!

My New Heisman Candidate.....
Alright, we're not jumping off the Colt Brennan or Andre Woodson bandwagons but there is a player who is head and shoulders above else. It's freshman Michael Crabtree from Texas Tech. I know i know....a wideout can't win the heisman.....i know i know....a freshman can't win.....i know i know....system players can't win but check out these stats thru seven games.
78 rec, 1244 yds, 17 TD
THRU SEVEN GAMES. I don't know who represents heisman-like excellence more then him. Crabtree hasn't scored in one game but ho hum he had 170 yds receiving. He's on pace to break all sorts of records. He's got more showcase games too...including this weekend at Missouri. Ideally, Brennan, Woodson and Crabtree are brought to NY and one of them wins this prestigious reward.

Birthday Bash....
Well folks, thanks for such a great night. It was the best party anyone has ever thrown for me. The Hooters girls were amazing....I will forever cherish the shirts they made for me. Thanks to Dingo, Big John, Big East Andy, Spider Ross, Mr. beach, Saint Chris, the Caddy and everyone else who came out to support me and make me feel like i'm doing something in this city. Most of all I want to thank Jeannine for taking time out of her busy schedule to come tell me i drink like a woman.
Continue to listen to the show folks, we appreciate all of you who call and listen. It'll be hard to top last night for me in awhile.
PS....Hawaii football on ESPN at 8 tonight....Watch the Colt Brennan Experience!!

Week 7 College Football Picks
Week 1: 8-4
Week 2: 3-6
Week 3: 5-7
Week 4: 5-3-1
Week 5: 9-1!
Week 6: 5-4
Three straight winning weeks but I'm a bit worried. I'm massively hung over from a birthday party at Hooters in which the girls wore my name on their shirts...(oh the perks of being on the radio)...I hope that in my haze these picks hit the mark.
Temple +11 -- You really think i'm going to pick against them now? The Owls offense is moving the ball and guess what...the Owls actually have a defense! Akron has been so unimpressive this season. Take the Owls with a small chance we win outright.
Miami -3 -- I like the Canes over the slumping Jackets. Miami seems to be a different team at home. I like the fact that it seems a lot of money is going on Georgia Tech. Kyle Wright might actually have a good game.
Nebraska -4 -- I'm so unimpressed by Oklahoma State. Their QB's are subpar at best. I think the Blackshirts show up after the debacle against Missou. Keller throws for 4 TD's in the win.
UNC +7.5 -- I love the Heels in this game. UNC has the offensive talent to matchup with a lot of good teams while the Cocks are highly inconsistent. Surely USC has better D but I don't think they can hold down UNC.
CMU -13 -- Army's got a good D but I don't think they can hold down the Chippewas. CMU is playing well as of late and are head and shoulders above Army.
UVA -3.5 -- majorly concerned about this pick. Not gonna lie when i say the Hoos have a huge talent advantage in this game. UConn should have one loss this season and has played NO one. Vegas is saying the Hoos are only 0.5 points better? Very concerned about this.
Tulsa -14 -- This Golden Hurricane offense is due for an explosion. Marshall's lackluster defense should provide that for them as Paul Smith hopefully torches them. There will be a ton of points in the game though.
K-State -5 -- I like the Wildcats to bounce back against a Colorado team who is overrated. Kansas State has shown flashes of greatness and i'll take Freeman over Cody Hawkins all day.
Washington +11.5 -- Locker tears up the ASU defense. I like the Huskies to wake up after their bye week.
Might add one or two more when i sober up.
Week 2: 3-6

Week 6 College Football Picks
Week 1: 8-4
Week 2: 3-6
Week 3: 5-7
Week 4: 5-3-1
Week 5: 9-1!
What a week we had last week....Let's try and keep it up...
Temple +4 -- Listen, i know i've been on them the whole season and ATS they've been money so far this season. It's frustrating because i've seen positives from this team but it's so hard to get that first win. Those of you who root for bad teams know what i mean. Temple will win a game or two this year....i can feel it. NIU's offense is tough but their D isn't anything special.
Michigan State -16.5 -- The Spartan slide doesn't come for another week as they pound hapless NW. The Wildcats coughed up a 35 point lead at home last year and shouldn't provide much of a threat.
UNC +7 -- Butch Davis against his old team...The canes havent been that impressive since the A&M game so far this season. Certainly not against Duke. The Heels will be up for this game and I think they cover possibly losing the lead late in the game.
Bowling Green +20.5 -- BC has sleptwalked thru their last couple of games against lower competition. This BG has some talent and can move the ball. I think the Eagles leave the backdoor open.
Alabama -11 -- a bit of a headscratcher here....You'd figure that Bama is at least a 14 point fave at home. Houston's got a nice balanced offense but I think the Tide take care of business at home.
FAU +15.5 -- USF is for real...coming off the huge win over WVU but one can't help but see a letdown here. The Bulls have an outstanding secondary playing right into FAU's pass offense. This is a huge game for the Owls. I really think that the Owls keep up with USF for most of this game.
MTSU +10 -- UVA has gotten fat and happy at home but you can't forget how pitiful they have been on the road out of conference. MTSU has put up offensive numbers and rarely gets a BCS conference team in their house. Inspired effort leads to them falling short.
Texas A&M -6.5 -- I like their balance and how well Stephen McGee is playing right now. OSU has done it thru smoke and mirrors so far this season. Not impressed with any of their options at QB. Meanwhile the Aggies are playing for their coach who is under fire again.
Cincinnati +3.5 -- I love the bearcats. Absolutely have ridden them all season long. Rutgers has a good balance on offense but this Cincy team can score and will score on a mediocre Scarlet Knight team. Hard to believe but Rutgers is gonna lose two home games in a row.
Week 2: 3-6
Week 3: 5-7
Week 4: 5-3-1
Week 5: 9-1!
