Ranking the SEC
#1 ALABAMA
#2 FLORIDA
#3 GEORGIA
#4 LSU
#5 SOUTH CAROLINA
#6 OLE MISS

#8 ARKANSAS

#10 MISS STATE
#11 VANDY
#12 KENTUCKY
With a Ga victory over LSU
#3 UGA
#4 SO CAR
#5 OLE MISS
#6 LSU
With a LSU victory over Georgia
#3 LSU
#4 UGA
the reason I drop LSU further down then UGA is the fact that it would prove that LSU isn’t that good of a team with almost an upset by Miss St and you would have to pick Ole Miss or USC over LSU at that point. The fact that Ga has already beaten USC makes it harder for them to fall below them this early in the season.
NEXT IS UT HOSTING AUBURN
I actually think Auburn wins this game and my rankings reflect it. I don’t think I would change anything at all if this were to happen.
HOWEVER if UT takes care of business and hands Auburn a loss here then I’m dropping Auburn down to #9 and moving UT up a spot to #8, that would move Arkansas up to the #7 spot.
As for the rest of the Nation, My top 5

The Panel's Results
#1 Jody @ .500
UGA –11 ½, they have to hit a field goal with no time left to win the game, hardly a “cod lock” Jody. And the Vandy –7 pick? vandy was probably the best pick of the week here and that’s why Jody gets the “PICKER OF THE WEEK”
#2 “SLAY YOUR BOOKIE” John S @ .330
it says a lot about the quality of the picks here when the person that comes in 2nd place had .330 winning percentage. If John would have put a $100 on each of his picks he would have “PAID HIS BOOKIE” $120. But still he comes in second
#3 Rusty Teez @ .250
It all started on Thursday night when Rusty picked Ole Miss and the over starting his Thursday off 0 and 2. then it goes into Friday night with Mizzo and Rusty says, “this game will clear 70 points.” There were 52 points scored in the game. If it was not for the wisc game rusty would have not won a game.
#4 Reese @ .250
Lsu was a double digit favorite and almost lost straight up. “Penn st wins by 21” is what Reese said about this game and Penn St loses straight up at home. The Fla game going over was never going to happen. Notre Dame –7, are you kidding me. This teams “looks pretty good” to you. I see now why you are sitting at .200
#5 D.F.L.
the man himself. I come up with 2 picks sometime 3. when I go down I go down hard. And this week I went down in flames. Sitting @ .000, 0 and 2.
As a panel we went 4 and 12. WOW.
Leonards Losers you better watch out, the ______________ is the blog version and we are going to take over.
We need a name for this panel, send me your ideas

John Starrett "slay your bookie" 9/24
OK, I will preface these picks with the statement that I know the BAA (Bookie Alliance of America) is currently pulling all the stops to get "SLAY YOUR BOOKIE" picks off of the world wide web. Fortunately to all the readers, they have not achieved this goal as of yet. Let's get started...
This week we are gonna lay a lot of chalk and we are staying at home in the SEC. Usually a good rule of thumb is to take the dog when receiving double digit points at home in the SEC. Well, to hell with conventional wisdom because its time to SLAY YOUR BOOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LSU vs MSU
Ok, here we have a classic trap game. LSU has UGA and Florid
a the next two weeks on its schedule. They are also laying 12.5 points on the road. Two strikes against LSU. But, they have superior talent and it will show come Saturday. Lay the 12.5 and .....SLAY YOUR BOOKIE!!!!!!
ASU vs UGA
Another
trap game with UGA looking ahead to LSU and Tenn the next two weeks. However, ASU has maybe one player that could start at UGA (DE Dexter Davis). He won't be enough to stop this offense and the D for UGA rebounds and smacks ASU back to the west coast. Lay the 11.5 and ........SLAY YOUR BOOKIE!!!!!!!!
(check out the Arizona State chicks... hubba hubba! i dont think i have said hubba hubba in 22 years.)
Florida vs Kentucky
Meyer will be trying to iron out the wrinkles in his spread offense against Kentucky this week. To make this short, he will succeed. Lay the 21.5 and .........SLAY YOUR BOOKIE!!!!!

Rusty T's picks 9/24
OK, so i couldn't have scripted the Miami/gt game any better but at the same time I couldn't have been more wrong on the fsu/byu game. For that, i appologise but I'm about to make it upto you by going 3-0 this week. Also, on a side note, I'd like to publicly gongradulate my vols for their efforts last weekend in the swamp.Thanks for not embarrassing me boys.Also, to Mason Singletary for his comments, Go Fuckyaself
Miss/SCMiss - 3.5tonight at 7:45 Normally I don't like taking road favorites on nationally televised games but the Rebels need to get big wins in games like this if they want a shot at the national title and
I promise you that's allthey are thinking about these days. Expectations are high in Oxford. The Rebels have won 8 of their last nine after scoring more than 35 points. They have won four of their last five against South Carolina and know how to beat them. The home team has come up short in the last five meetings ATS and the Rebels should cover the small number against Steve Spurrier and his Cocks. I say give up up the points and take the Rebels tonight. (On a side note, I like the over tonight as except for the bad taste that nc state game left in my mouth. Just something to think about) - Plus Ole Miss women making my mouth water. I cant tell you what i would do to some of them.
Mich state/Wisconsin -3

Saturday at noon Wisconsin is only a 3-point favorite at home over Michigan State. This is not the correct line with the Spartans coming off back-to-back heartbreakers to Central Michigan an
d Notre Dame. The Badgers are 5-0 in their last 5 at home. The Badgers have won 4 of their last 5 home games vs. Michigan State. After losing to the Spartans 24-25 on the road last year, you can bet that revenge is in the air Wisconsin players who have not forgotten that heart breaker. The Badgers out rushed the Spartans 281-25 in that game, which are numbers that would usually lead to a Wisconsin win. Expect similar numbers this weekend, only this time it will be enough for them to get their payback.. The Badgers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite of 0.5 to 3 points.Wisconsin is a silent 3-0 and flying under the radar.Take Wisconsin and lay the points.

Rusty's Parlay Booster Nevada/Missouri Friday night game. I don't know who is gonna beat the spread in this game and to be honest, I couldn't care less. However,I can tell you one thing. There are gonna be a lot of points scored. The over/under is set at 60 now, it was at 56 just yesterday so it's clear which way people are betting. I'll be shocked if this game total doesn't clear 70. Take the over if you're looking to pad a parlay.
Till next week, happy gambling!Rusty Thomas Out

Reese's Sept 26th picks
LSU -12.5 @ Miss St LSU running game and defense will be too much for the lack of talent at MSU. Mad Hatter runs this one up in Starkville.
NCST -1 vs Pitt NCST is the highest scoring offense in the ACC which isn’t saying much, but they’re going against Wandstache. That dude sux.
UF & Kentucky over 54 UF may cover this one on their own. I look for Rich Brooks to have few tricks up his sleeve for at least 21 pts. If the weather is good, jump all over this.
Penn St -9.5 vs Iowa This is going to be a whiteout game and Penn St is looking for revenge from last years last second loss. Penn St also hasn’t covered this year so they win by 21 with the Spread HD clicking.
ND -7 @ Purdue ND hasn’t played poorly this year. From everything I’ve seen they are actually pretty good. From the little I’ve watched Purdue they suck ball bags.
I know you hate when I have a lot of picks but that’s how I cover my ass. I’ll put it up but let me know how.

My picks - Week of Sept 26th
Wake Forrest –2 1/2
Boston College
Total 41
This line came out at 6:46 pm Sunday night at BC –1 ½ and by 7:06 (just 20 min later) it had moved 4 points to Wake –2 ½. This SCREAMED at me. So naturally I went searching for a reason why. I thought surly someone is hurt. Is it Riley Skinner? No. Who then? No one. The only reason this line moved this much is because of the amount of action they got right off the bat on Wake. No body moves a line 4 pts that quick. BC had their first true test last week against an average Clemson team and BC looked bad, real bad. Their leading rusher had 21 yards and their leading receiver had just 13. They went 1 – 12 on 3rd downs and they only had 4 total 1st downs. Clemson’s Defense isn’t great, BC just doesn’t have any play makers. Now Wake Forest. Riley Skinner is the real deal, how ever Wake doesn’t have any play makers either other than Skinner. That’s why Riley himself had to take it in for the go ahead TD with 1 second left to beat Stanford at home. “Wait Joe, first you got me thinking Wake. Now you got me thinking BC?” I know, I know, I know. The answer is Wake and the Under for my very first Cod Lock Parlay. Both teams know that they will not have to score many points to win so they will play it very conservatively.
Wake wins 20 to 13
Alabama –17 ½
Arkansas
I want to preface this for all my Alabama friends and readers that I think Alabama is o
ne of the best teams in the SEC. I feel that they have the best chance to beat Fla in the SEC championship this year and I hope they do. Ok, now that that is out of the way I can tell yall why I don’t think they cover this number. Last year Alabama’s first 2 SEC home games Bama was laying 15 and 11 ½ against a mediocre Kentucky team and a improving Ole Miss team. By no means were either one of these teams as well coached or as talented as Alabama and yet they both hung in the games until the very end. I see the same thing happening this week. Bobby Petrino is as good as anybody at taking advantage of a teams weakness and if, I say IF!!!, there is a weakness on Alabama’s defense then it would be their secondary. Ryan Mallet is a great QB that can and will put the ball where only his player can make the catch and boy do they make the catch. Last year Alabama really had their way with Arkansas and that cant be forgotten by the razorbacks. Teams don’t like to get embarrassed and that’s exactly what bama did to them last year. Figure that with coming off a home loss and I don’t think Arkansas needs much more motivation to at least come in this game fighting. I don’t think this game is as close as last years UK or Miss games but I do see it being a little closer than 17 ½. Even if it isn’t and Alabama does great then you still have the potential of a back door cover.
Alabama 31
Arkansas 24
Note. If I see the two little sluts that wear the hounds tooth hats 80 times during this game I’m going to scream. Yes they are hot, but come on. I have been to Tuscaloosa before and they have a lot of hot women up there.

Slay your bookie - from john starett
john, i like your style. a little cheesy, but i like it.
Slay your bookie segment picks....
California vs. Minnesota
California vs. Minnesota
California should run up and down the field on an overvalued 
middle of the road Big 10 Minnesota squad. Jahvid Best is one of the premier running backs in the country and he'll showcase why in this one. Lay the 13.5 and, SLAY YOUR BOOKIE!!!
(minnesota are the gophers if your what the picture is for)

North Texas vs. Bama
Classic look ahead game here. Alabama has Arkansas next week and they will be uninterested in covering this ridiculous spread. Saban will definitely rest Julio Jones as much as possible due to his injury last week. Alabama wins the game but North Texas covers with ease. Take the 39.5 points in this one and, SLAY YOUR BOOKIE!!!
(google "north texas" images and this came up - had to include it)
(google "north texas" images and this came up - had to include it)
I will probably have to start charging for my picks in coming weeks if you want to continue to put them on your blog Joe, just a heads up.
Georgia Arkansas
I don’t like this game. I don’t like the fact that Georgia just had a 4 hour grudge m
atch against a very physical South Carolina team. Our Defense was on the field, what felt like, the whole game. Arkansas was off last week and resting. Then lets top it off with losing our Defensive end (and leader on the line) Rod Battle and then lets load this team up and give Arkansas one extra day to practice and study us while we travel and they stay at home. Now we do have Houston back from a 2 game suspension so that will help on the line.
What I know (and think I know) about Arkansas.
They have an offense that will hit short yardage passes over and over and over and then go deep. That worries me with prince miller getting burned. We give up a big play early and the crowd (full of fat hogs by the way) could get rowdy.
I didn’t see the game with Missouri State. On the box score (thats a link guys, click box score and it will take you to it - pretty cool huh?) a couple of things jumped out at me. 1) Ark 3 – 10 on 3rd down conversions BUT 3/3 on 4th down. Why did they go for 4th down 3 times against Missouri State? Hmmmmmm one time it was in the 3rd qt and they were up 48 – 10. the only reason they were doing this (I think) is to practice for what is ahead. I see the Hogs going for it on 4th down a good bit in this game, so don’t get all excited when we stop them on 3rd down. 2) 2nd and Long – this is where I feel the game will be decided. (of course besides mistakes, turnovers, big plays, and all the other bullshit that is obvious when talking about the out come of a ball game) 2nd and Long is where I feel slick Willie will….. who knows. Lets hope this is where he has the guys ready and we put enough pressure with the front 4 that we have enough guys in the back to protect.
Ryan Mallett every thing you want to know about this kid he has his own web site if you click DOUCHE BAG you will go right to it. Cliff notes. Big guy, rocket arm, good in the pocket, not real fast. Everything else is BS. Another words, our guys up front HAVE TO GET PRESSURE ON THIS DOUCHE BAG!!!

Rusty's Guaranteed Cod Locks
Miami/GT Tonight
Everyone saw the Clemson/tech game and granted it was a lot of fun to watch. However, Tech unveiled their one true weakness in the second half of this gameand that was their secondary which looked like a high school team. Clemson managedto light em up in the air. Now, with Miami coming in off of 10 days rest in what manybelieve to be their break out season, this could be trouble for the Jackets. Miami hasfinally found the stud quarter back they've been dreaming about in Jacery Harris. Harristhrew up a ridiculous 386 yards in a not so upsetting upset over the noles. Imaginewhat he'll do against the weakest secondary in the conference.The jackets will be depending on their running game which is to be arguably one ofthe best in the acc led by Jonathan Dwyer ( 2008 acc player of the rear ) However,Dwyer was held to just 66 yards on 18 carries against Clemson. As long as Miamican do just as good a job as clemson at containing the run then this game won'tbe much of a contest.
Take MIAMI tonight and give up the 4.5 points
BYU?Fla state
Let's face it, this just ain't the Noles of old. If you think Florid
a Sate has a chance in this game then you're as senile as Bobby Bowden is.This game should be a lot of fun to watch as both teams have gunslinger type QB's sothere should be a lot of yards in the air.Fla. State is coming off a heart breaking loss to their in state rivals down in MIAMI, then they followed that up with an embarrassing 19-9 victory over a division 2 school.BYU has been one of the biggest surprises of 2009 thus far by taking out the defendingBig 12 champions in Oklahoma and then followed that up by absolutely raping Toledo54-3 last week.The difference in this game is gonna be defense and the edge in that department definitely goes to the BYU Cougars who held Oklahoma to 13 points and Toledo to a single, pitiful littlefield goal.Florida State is 7 point dogs tonight but if you ask me it should be closer to 14.Take BYU big time

ok jody, first of all this blog has high standards to up hold and if you ever want to see your name (or face) on it again then you need to be giving my readers why you like these games. they don't know you. they don't trust you. they need FACTS my friend. FACTS. And nice Micheal Jackson pose, homo...
Picks from Reese for this week sept 17
OU -15.5 has better athletes than Tulsa and are getting into a groove with another highly recruited QB Landry Jones. Tulsa lost OC Malzhan to ‘burn. It’s gonna hurt them. A&M -17.5 just because they’ve been playing good ball and Utah St may be the worst team in college football. A&M has been throwing the piss out of the ball. I’ll be honest, I haven’t seen A&M play. FSU +7.5 coming off a bad week against JSU has something to prove. They have way better athletes than BYU. Yes, BYU plays better “team” football than FSU but I look for Mickey Andrews (a Bear Bryant disciple) to take out Max Hall and ruin BYU’s undefeated season hopes. I’d go moneyline on this one. Stanford -18 has one of the top 5 football coaches in Jim Harbaugh. He has smart solid players. Toby Gerhart will run over your fucking face in a minute. Yeah, they are coming off a loss to an equally sound and smart football team in Wake Forest, but I look for them to get it going this week. The only thing SJST has going for them is their coach (Dick Tomey) is the innovator or the Desert Swarm Double Eagle Flex D he brought to Arizona back in the early 90’s. Tough shit he doesn’t have Teddy Bruschi and 7 other boys from the ’92 team that later went onto the NFL. I’m also looking at GT getting 4.5 pts against Da U. I don’t advise taking this because this may be the Homer in me. However, if you look back to GT playing last year after getting dogged in the media and by Vegas, they come out looking for somebody’s ass to get in. PJ and Co. will get it done. F the points……….Moneyline baby.

Cod Locks for the week of Sept 17th
UT @ UF
Georgia fans, do you rememeber watching the Gerogia/Florida game last year? Do you rememeber ESPN showing the emnd zone dance from the year before over and over and over? What was the out come of that game? 49 – 10 and the line was only 7 ½!! This UT team is not that good. Crompton’s TD:INT ratio is 5:5. Last week against UCLA I think UT turned the ball over 5 times and anytime UCLA put the ball on the ground UT couldn’t recover it. I enjoyed watching the UT / UCLA game but after watching Fla play a pretty good Troy team and just play with them, if I was a UT man I wouldn’t make the trip to the swamp.
Florida - 56
UT – 17 (welcome to the SEC Kiff)
Middle Tenn St @ Maryland
Maryland went in to overtime against James Madison last week.
WOW!! And Middle Tenn St has Tony Franklin as its new Offensive Cordinator. Ol Tony didn’t fair to well at Auburn but I don’t think that it was all his fault. He seems to have Middle Tenn St doing well I think that he well get better and better the longer he is there. Remember that Franklin was very successful at Troy. I think that Middle Tenn St upsets Maryland here.
MTS - 33UM – 28

the young lady in the picture is a student at Middle Tenn State. her picture came up when i was looking for a picture to put up and since she is Miss Middle Tenn State i thought why not include her.

Steinhatchee
Steinhatchee is in Florida on the Gulf coast about 60 miles
west of Gainesville. It is full of nothing but biting insects and Fish. This trip was not my first but it was for my company. Culpepper, Rusty, and Mark all were going for the first time. we meet down at Franky T's house on Friday night and had a low country boil. we started out heating up the water and with some new potatoes. about a hour later we had built a fire and applied bug spray 8 times but the water had not started boiling yet. then we realized that we had the burner upside down. so we turned up right and with in 5 minutes the water was boiling and the potatoes were cooking. after adding some sausage, corn, and shrimp we had a good meal. Broke out the poker chips and all started arguing about college football. Rusty is a UT fan, Culpepper Auburn, Mark Alabama. and of course myself Georgia.
Saturday morning got up about 5 am, went to the docks to get our rented boat and set out on the open sea. Just 4 guys, 2 coolers of beer, and smiles. First cast, culpepper lands a nice Red Fish. we get it in the boat and then the conversation starts... how long does a Red Fish need to be to be a keeper? Who has the ruler? You got to be kidding me. no one knows how big a fish needs to be? how about trout? how about anything!?!?! anyway, we learned our lesson to make sure you take a ruler when going on the open sea. So we fished for a little while longer and decided to go south a couple of miles. then Mark noticed a storm WAY off in the distance. "that storm cant be 30 miles from here" i said. Then rusty starts counting mississippi's from lighting to thunder so he could figure out exactly how far away it is. so we keep fishing because Rusty and I determine how far away the storm is and how fast its moving and what direction its moving in. About 10 to 15 minutes go by and Culpepper says, "hey guys, i think that storm is moving in on us pretty fast." So then Rusty and I explain to Culpepper how to figure out how far away a storm is and he isnt interested in listening. Then about that time the Radio says, "dead weight to see hag." "see hag, go ahead." "how bad is this storm that's coming in and how fast is it moving?" "their is a lot of lightning and its moving in on us pretty fast, we recommend coming in." ok, so maybe storms move faster on water than they do land.... that's when the rain
started. then the hard rain. then the lighting. then the hard wind, rain, lighting, thunder, waves, and fear. we couldn't see 20 feet in front of us and we had no clue how far south we had went. This was probably about a category 4 hurricane. maybe a bad 3 but could have been a 4. it was crazy. Where the hell is the #1 bouie? I slow the engine, "Guys, i don't know where we are," i tell the crew. Mark asks, "you think we passed it?" "I dont think so" rusty said, "but we could have." "this ain't good guys," culpepper makes clear. Radio calls out, "Marina to Rental boat 1, marina to rental boat 1." i grab the C.B. "this is rental boat 1, go ahead." "we are just checking on you guys." "we headed in." we pursue north and Finally! we see the #1 bouie. we are safe. we come into the marina, dock the boat and all get out like we are seasoned vets that were not worried one bit. when actually we all were scared as hell. so we walk up to the bar, order a beer and start talking about our story. already we were telling each others perspective on what was going on and what we were thinking. the football players that drowned kept coming up. I was referring to myself as Capt. and i liked it. We get a bite to eat and the rain passed so we decide to go back out. this time with a ruler by god.
we get back out and since we had such bad luck going south we decided to go north this time. after we noticed that there is a HUGE ruler on the side of the boat we realized that we have to ways to measure any fish that we do catch. we start catching some fish but no keepers but at least we are catching. The beer is tasting good, the sun is shining and we are feeling good. im still referring to myself as captian also. Mark comes over and checks the gas container. "guys the gas is looking kinda low," Mark expains. then i tell him, "step back and let the captian take a look. ahw shit, we got plenty a gas." so we keep fishing and fishing and fishing. also drinking a good bit of beer. well we start heading back in stopping and fishing along the way and on the last stop, right before 5.00, the engine dont start. "i told you we wouldn't have enough gas." Mark reminds me. "Jesus Christ Joe, are you serious?" culpepper asks. "why are you guys not referring to me as Capt anymore?" i ask. "BECAUSE WE ARE OUT OF GAS!!! CAPTAIN DIP SHIT!!" culpepper answers. Rusty then tells me, "call the marina on the radio and tell them to bring us gas.... captain." i'm picking up some sarcasm in the "captain" part. I pick up the CB and pause...... "i dont want to come over the radio and say we are out of gas," i say. Rusty then says, "Well what do you recommend we do?.... captain." again, sarcasm on the captain part. "alright, alright, alright, ill say we are having engine problems and it may be the gas," i explain. "yea joe, thats a great idea," culpepper says in his smart ass voice. "Rental boat 1 to marina, Rental boat 1 to marina" - "marina, go ahead" - "yea we got some engine problems and it may be gas" - "hang on rental boat, ill get a mechanic to call you back" - at this point we are all chuckling at ourselves. then mark yells, "what the hell is that?" "thats a sting
ray," culpepper says, "catch it Rusty, you hadnt caught anything else all day." rusty then throws out, ray swims right to his bait, then his drag goes screaming.... "AHHH I GOT HIM, now what the hell do i do?" Rusty asks. we get the sting ray to the boat and then he snaps the line. nice way to burn up the time. "marina to rental boat 1" - "rental boat 1 go ahead" - "where are you guys located?"....."oh shit, how do we tell them where we are?" i ask the crew with no help of course. "come out of the mouth of the river and go north." "10-4" - ok, that was easy. so we keep drinking beer and enjoying the time out on the water. when the mechanics find us they say, "the gas hand dont work on this one and we just put a new motor on it so shes prolly burnin more gas than she should." I say, "thats good information, be good to have that about 3 hours ago." they snicker, why im now sure but i think they kind of enjoyed seeing us run out of gas.
When we
get back we go to the bar and grill and order dinner. we had planned on having a fish fry but we only had 2 keepers all day. So we ordered burgers and they could have been the best burgers i have ever had. Culpepper ordered some kind of stuff that was horrible as an appetizer but he was the only one that ate any of it. we get back to the house, shower, and all sit down and watch Lemony Snicket. I know, the selection was slim.
sunday didn't have near the adventure, but we did choose to partake in the scalloping fun. we felt gay at first, but didnt know just how much fun it would be to find these little boogers. AND they are mean. the first one we found snapped at us and it scared us. Any way, we are gonna make another trip sometime in the future - maybe November. im sure it will be a good trip and you know that you will be able to read all about it.
ill add some pictures to this story soon.

Reese on the Tech/Clemson game
I didn’t get home until 2:00. My jackets don’t know how to finish a team off. It’ll come back to bite them if they don’t put the throttle down from here on out. Anyway, I guess it’s still a good win since they looked like shit and Clemson looked good. That Kyle Parker for Clemson is going to be a good one.
Notes from some of my fans
Maybe you should change the title of your weekly email to COD LOCK LOSERS or IF YOU ARE READING THIS, PICK THE OPPOSITE TEAMS. - PulleyI am truly ashamed to say that I took UAB solely on your damn
COD LOCK. Remind me why I do the things I do. 0-2 the first week and 1-1 the second week, NICE!!! - StarrettI read your blog and here is my response:
I am not sure how Ok St losing makes you feel any better about UGAy. Houston put up over 40 against a team that held your dogs to 1 TD. Plus, you gave up 37 points to a SC team that managed 1 TD against a lower tier ACC team. If you ask me, this game should give you more doubt, not hope. - another one from Pulley. Pulley, i didnt say that the okl state game made me feel better. i actually said that it caused for more concern. i said after watching the georgia game again, i felt better. or this is what i meant to say.

Georgia South Carolina thoughts
not that bad of week. thought that UAB would have a better showing and why USC laid an egg i dont know.
as for the Georgia game.. Saturday night while watching i kept wandering why Willie kept us in the nickel but i watched the game again sunday night and i didnt reliaze how many players we had hurt. i think that willie may have just been playing with what he had. still dont make me feel good about giving up 37 points to a so Carolina team that didn't score but 7 last week. special teams. what can you say but good things about boykin. wow. and smith is one of those kids that, to put in jimbo's w
ords, "has touchdown capabilities every time he touches the ball". back to boykin. even he had to leave the game late in the 1st half for cramps. plus those guys were on the field the whole game. i think so car ran like 30 more plays than us, so the D had to be tired. w/ 4 min to go in the 1st qt Ga had ran 3 offensive plays. for them to have a goal line stand after that long of a night had to feel good. offense. i thought cox had a lot more zip on the ball this week. and when AJ coughed up that ball it was nice to see how pissed off he was. then when he came back and caught that ball 45 feet in the air... i swear to you that i dont think many people could have made that catch. then the catch in the end zone, wow. he is truly something special. also i was happy to see orson charles. he really creates crazy miss matches. after watching the game you really get the sense that we have a lot of really young talent. i do want to see logan gray get some more snaps for next year. if bobo is waiting on a blow out, it may not happen.
after the game i do think that we have chances in every game we play this year. and after OSU, especially after they lost to Houston, i wasnt feel very good about this year. its crazy how much a win can change things.
Arkansas had last week off. we played in a 4 hour barn burner. we travel, they stay at home. we may have our hands full but i do feel we can/will win.
early line on the game. Pick em. then it moved to Arkansas -1.

Cod Locks for 9/12
last week was not a good start for me. I went 0 - 2 and really didn't have a shot in any of the 2 games. ND was a little better than I expected (or Nevada just sucks) and LSU didn't look like the top 10 ten I was expecting. they looked more like the average team from last year. anyway I sucked. 0 and 2 is unacceptable and I will turn it around this week.
what better way to start one of these blogs than 2 picks that cant lose. I want everyone to be clear here. I'm gonna throw out several games at the end of this but only 2 of them have ATM on it.
SMU @ UAB
with UAB laying 12 points.
Last week SMU played Stephen F. Austin at home. [Mustang quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell scored on fourth-and-1 with 7:47 left in the game to help the Mustangs (1-0) erase a nine-point fourth-quarter deficit and take a 24-23 lead.] did you catch the part in that that said 9 point 4th qt deficit? to Stephen F Austin? this game was 23-14 going in the 4th qt. SFA had 6 turn overs in this game, 5 of them picks with 4 of them coming in the 1st 3 quarters. what im saying here is that they threw 4 picks and still had a 9 point lead going into the 4th qt. this game wasn't close because SFA was playing lights out, this game was this close because SMU is that bad. come on, maybe I'm underestimating the
power that SFA has and if so then please forgive me, but this is the same team that went 4 - 8 last year losing their last 5 games by an average of 14 points. this team is a D2 team by the way. also, smu hasn't won a game on the road since 2006. i know they don't have to win here but these guys don't travel very well. after seeing that UAB put up 516 total yards on rice (which is way better than smu) and beat them by 20 (44-24) it is safe for me to assUme that UAB can win by more than 12 points. normally when i see a game that looks to good to be true, like this one, i try my best to try to figure out why. i cant! i tried! you try and see what you come up with, but this has COD LOCK all over it.
Neil Calloway and the UAB blazers win big in front of the home crowd by 21 points. UAB 45 SMU 24.
Southern Cal -7 @ Ohio State. I'm a little nervous about a true freshman QB going into the horse shoe in front of 100k people but not enough to over look that Pete Carroll owns the Big 10.
Houston +15 1/2 @ Oklahmoa State. Houston has a much better offense than Georgia. they will come in to Okl St thinking they can win. they will not be scared of the national ranking. last year Houston beat both ranked teams they played and they also beat Okl St back in 06. not saying Houston wins but think they can score enough points to keep it under 15 1/2.
Bowling Green +19 @ Mizzo. Bowling Green had a long week after they beat Troy last Thursday at home and Mizzo has very young team this year. they lost their QB, and 2 first round draft picks. graduated 22 seniors and this year only has 14 on the team. i think the line is this high because Mizzo has a ranking and a little history up putting up big numbers. not this year. (i don't think)
feel free to post some of you picks also
and remember, i do not recomend gambling. its not a good thing and it can over take you.

TCU -12 at Virgina
please, someone tell me why in the world Al Groh still has a job. they got beat by William and Mary last week. say that out loud and tell me you dont chuckle. "Virgina got beat by William and Mary last week" (then you start to chuckle) any way. TCU allowed the fewest TD's than any other team in D1 last year and i dont see UVA scoring one this weekend. Patterson is the hottest coach not at a BCS school and he has got the TCU horny frogs playing at a level that we never thought we would see. they finished in the top 10 last year in the final ap poll and they can line up and play with anybody. they had the number 1 ranked D in the nation last year and they can grind it out. they go to Va and only lay 12 points. come on. this is TCU's opener and last year they opened with a decent Baylor team and won 27 to 0. Va may not score in this game and i see TCU putting up at least 20. even if Va gets lucky and scores a TD they still dont cover. Al Groh works on his resume after this game when TCU handles them convincingly.
TCU 27 Va 6
other games i like...
Southern Cal -7 @ Ohio State. I'm a little nervous about a true freshman QB going into the horse shoe in front of 100k people but not enough to over look that Pete Carroll owns the Big 10.

Bowling Green +19 @ Mizzo. Bowling Green had a long week after they beat Troy last Thursday at home and Mizzo has very young team this year. they lost their QB, and 2 first round draft picks. graduated 22 seniors and this year only has 14 on the team. i think the line is this high because Mizzo has a ranking and a little history up putting up big numbers. not this year. (i don't think)
feel free to post some of you picks also
and remember, i do not recomend gambling. its not a good thing and it can over take you.
