My apologies go out to my loyal fans of this blog for my tardiness in posting. We will resume regular posts touting the greatness that is VCU among many other things. It's college basketball season and i'm absolutely enthralled with the early season results but it's funny...i'm still in college football mode.
Hawaii has a big one saturday night that i hope everyone stays up for. I think Colt Brennan still has a shot to edge his way into NY despite missing games. I mean come on, his team hasnt lost while Tim Tebow's team has lost 3 times!!
Hawaii wins easily and then goes to the BCS and shows the nation that good football can be played out on the islands.

Week 11 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
Week 9: 3-4
Week 10: 5-2-1
Alright, my title last week about laughing at Ohio backers rankled some people and they humbled my beloved Owls. With that we still did have another winning week.
Temple +24 -- Listen I hear the snickers at this pick. Surely, your thinking i'm a homer and will never bet against the Owls. The Nittany Lions havent been that impressive this year and their offense isn't that good. This is THE game for Temple. The fans will be doing a Cherry Out and the team points this as their coming out party. Plus, Golden is a Paterno disciple so i don't see a score being run up. I'm hoping D'Onfrio opens up the playbook.
Purdue -4 -- The Spartan slide continues. They have so much talent offensively but their falling per usual as they do at the end of the season. The Boilermakers play inspired ball at home and Painter goes out in style at home.
Iowa -14 -- The Hawkeyes are hot while Minnesota just can't do much right. I can see Iowa romping all over a beaten and terrible Gopher team. The Hawkeye D may shut them out.
Iowa State +5 -- Rode them last week...why not do it again. The team is so good at home and Colorado's offense just isn't that spectacular.
Rice +6.5 -- Once again i'm breaking my rule of taking a road team in a game of two bad teams but Chase Clement is the best player on the field in this game. Clement and the Owls offense has been humming.
Wyoming +14 -- Defense wins ballgames and keeps teams hanging around on the road. The Cowboys D is ranked Top 10 in the league and has the personnel to keep it close. Their run game will keep the clock running and the better Utah team off the field.
Wazzu -11 -- Thanks for the upset Stanford of USC but now you return to the bad team you've always been. Granted the Cougars arent world beaters but their simply a more talented team then the Fighting Trees. Expect the Cougs D to score 2 TD's and capitalize off turnovers.
Maryland +6.5 -- This is my most hesitant pick. BC on the road after losing the undefeated season against a desperate Terps team who has the talent to play well at home. I'll take my chances with Coach Fridgen against a BC offense that lacks weapons.
Week 2: 3-6

Week 10 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
Week 9: 3-4
We've cooled off a little since our hot streak as of late. Unfortunately, i've been getting heat for my picks from the listeners of Richmond Sports radio so improvement is needed.
Temple +8 -- Honestly, i couldn't believe this when i saw it. Granted the Owls are still Temple and don't deserve respect yet but c'mon. Ohio isn't that good to be getting 5 extra points on top of the homefield advantage. Temple could the extra week to implement a nice offensive package for Vaughn Charlton who has a cannon of an arm. The Owls have the best defense in the MAC.
Iowa State +14 -- K-State is so inconsistent. I know that ISU has been putrid but they've played their best ball at home staying close with Oklahoma and beating their rival Iowa. The Cyclone defense is respectable and all i think i need is 10 points from Meyer and Blythe in order to get a cover.
Troy +17 -- Classic case of an emotional win leading to a letdown performance. Troy is a solid squad and has played well at times this season. Georgia's offense is solid and steady but i have a feeling things could stay close with a chance for the cover.
UCF -14 -- The Knights are a different team at home. Marshall is a terrible team on the road. They got their lone win of the season and just won't be able to keep up with UCF. Smith goes of for 4 TD's in the win.
Alabama +7 -- Perriloux's absence may not seem like much but he provided a few things for LSU that Flynn couldn't. I really like the defense of the Tide to keep LSU in check. I smell a 24-21 win for the Tigers. A play on the under may be made as well.
TCU -3.5 -- Blake and Aaron Brown return for the Horned Frogs who will look to get back to the level everyone thought they were capable of. The team has been so inconsistent but i feel Blake's return motivates the D to their best effort of the season.
Toledo -8 -- This offense has exploded lately and will be no match for an EMU team that just can't score. The Rockets have a slight chance at a bowl game as well.
Texas A&M +21 -- Man, I can't figure this out....I mean the Aggies are struggling this year but their offense has a pulse. If they were smart, they'd run Lane 30 times and grind this game out. Unfortunately i have a feeling they won't and i'll be praying for a backdoor cover.

Ram Media Day Thoughts.
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 4: 5-3-1
Week 5: 9-1!
Week 6: 5-4
