wk 14 picks

The last week, no shot at winning, but still I am on a bit of a hot streak with my picks, so maybe that can continue and lead to more success next year? Or I will suck again…

10 – Wisc, no way sparty is going to get another hail mary finish and Wisc is going to be what most thought they would be at the beginning of the season, best of the bad big ten.

9 – Va tech, f-ing Clemson cost me a perfect week last week, dicks!! Hope goiter ball crushes those cowards in orange jail suits.

8 – LSU, a lot of people think hot uga can pull upset and it won’t matter cause bama v lsu 2 is a lock and they might be right about the rematch, but I think lsu def is crazy sick and will beat uga pretty solidly.

7 – k st, which iowa st team will show up? Which k st team will show up? Hard to say, will go with the home team.

6 – ok st, they will need to try and win by 4-5 tds to impress the voters enough to hop over the tide and I don’t think they will, but I do think they will win.

5 – Hawaii, ?????????????????????????????????????? (last one of the season Steve, enjoy!!)

4 – wv, would have wv higher if at home, but on road had to move down a bit

3 – texas, ok one more ????????????????????????

2 – n ill, for the right to play in the little caesers pizza bowl in Detroit, possibly against the bucks. Woohoo!!

1 – fr st,  my break down doesn’t matter, its all about the insults so….

Drum roll please…

A wish of luck to my opponents:

May I be the tree and you be Sonny

May I be the juice and you be the waiter

May I be the Davenport and you be the laundry basket

May I be laws of anatomy and you be Maghee’s knee

May I be the ugly stick and you be Hillary Swank

May I be a lake and you be a teddy’s date

Seriously though, been another fun year, looking fwd to next year already!!

more useless lists

I hate and love lists of things. I like them because it is interesting to see what others think and I hate them because what others think is often stupid or at least not what I think, which when I'm being snobbish and all full of myself - anything not what I think is stupid!! Come on, if I was full of it, I wouldn't have a blog. Least I'm self aware of my occasional lack of humility!!

Anyway, this link will take you to Rolling Stones Magazines latest 100 greatest list: best guitar players of all time.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-guitarists-20111123/lindsey-buckingham-19691231


Now before I give you some thoughts I should say this should never be a category by itself, there should be technical vs spiritual categories, but there isn't so...

Any guitar player list should start this way, Greatest guitar players not named Jimi Hendrix and start numerically with 1b, so my 1b would be SRV, their number 12 and that's not even close to the biggest injustice on the list!! The biggest injustice on the list is that Mike McCready is NOT even on the list!! Who the F is the editor? Ask anyone (into rock n roll) to start naming Pearl Jam songs with insanely awesome, instantly recognizable guitar riffs, licks, and solo's: when they get to like song 15 and are still talking stop them and realize what a pig fuck decision it was to leave Mike of the list!! Paul Simon is on the list, I love Paul Simon, but does anyone know him for his guitar? S & G doing Bridge of troubled Water would make a British Palace Guard shed a tear, but not for the instrumentals. I could go on and on and on about the injustices on the list, but really their goal is to get people to buy the mag or read the article online and they succeed every time. So check it out and see whom you love that they slighted.

If anyone cares, my top 10

1a - Hendricks
1b - SRV
3 - Mike McCready
4 - Brian May
5 - David Gilmore
6 - George Harrison
7 - Jimmy Page
8 - Santana
9 - Eric Clapton
10 - John Mayer (this will be a shock to some of my friends, and yes his music is too commercial sometimes and I wish he'd get rid of the fluff, but check some live music from him, dude can wail as well as he can be weird and he is weird)

wk 13 picks

In case you didn’t hear, I had best week last week of anyone with a whopping 26 pts (possible 55). How do I feel about that?...

And now for rivalry week picks…

10 – Fl st, how the Florida mighty have fallen. Going with road team at the swamp in a rivalry as my 10 pt game is nuts!! But the gators are bad, so bad that all the Texas fans are relieved Will is not going to be the replacement for Mac.

9 – Bama, and now my 9 pick game is road team in big rivalry game, but with what we have seen this crazy football season it is a weird weird year. And as I said this week (and now that ok st lost) bama has the easiest road to the BCS title game, win and in. LSU, you beat bama, but we need you to win 2 more to get in – good luck.

8 – Team up North, Ok, trying to be reasonable on this so let’s break it down. Their QB, better or at least better now and being put in better positions by coaching staff. Actually that description is good for the entire offense. As for defense, they are playing better than they have in years which is bad news and our def is inconsistent and frankly looks like they know they have to be perfect to have a chance to win and that pressure (and youth) is causing mistakes. The def seems bad and is not great, but they are giving up 19pts a game, a buckeye team giving up 20 pts or less a game should not lose more than 1 game a year!!

Corey Brown, catch the ball or go back to Philly you loser!! You would have got ‘old yellar’d’ if crazy dave had a say…

Anyway, they are home, they are playing better and they ought to be hungry since they have 1 win in 10 years.

The upside – all the pressure is on them, I promise you Hoke wishes we had a better record and had lucked through and won those last 2 games despite playing bad so that we would be falsely over confident and have pressure of playing to get into bigten champ game. Instead, if our coaches have any tress left in them, our team ought to be loose and wild and playing free of pressure – nothing to lose – ready to prove that only 1 game for Buckeye nation truly defines a season as a failure! Is this season a disappointment? Yes!! Do we expect better, way better? For sure!! But is it a failure? Won’t know till about 3:30 or so Saturday!! Go Bucks!!

7 – WV – this game has been one of the crazier rivalries lately, but pretty sure WV is solidly better than Pitt, but we shall see.

Richrod in the Pac 12 – perfect, lots of offense and no defense, a league made for Rich.

6 – Wisc – bucky probably best team in our bad conf, but had some fabulous last second losses that keep them away from perfect where they don’t belong. But after beating Cover up U sat they will be in b10 champ game with a shot at revenge on sparty and a chance at the rose bowl. Hopefully, either they or sparty will do the bigten proud in the Rose bowl, which the conference desperately needs.

5 – Clem - remember back at beginning of the year when it seemed that maybe the ole ball coach had brought some fla era magic to the gamecocks and he might have another special team? Yeah, they barely beat the citadel last week!!

4 – Vatech - will the upset hooves show up or the doormat hooves? Not sure, but think the latter.

3 – Nebraska – hmmm, if the huskers lose or lose bad to Iowa, it will lend some validity to long held B10 belief that if these other schools had to grind through a B10 schedule they would find out how hard it is at the end of the season. Or they just had a bad week in Ann Arbor last week and they will win big, again I see the later.

2 – Texas – never picking A&M again!!

1 – LSU – I think the tigers are the one team that will weather the storm, win it all and once again save the BCS ass, but if they lose, then get ready to hear the Playoff cries from the masses. And much like the ‘smell up Wall Street with b/o’ people it would be pointless cries from powerless people.

So there it is, can I make it 2 weeks in a row? We shall see..

I wish all my competitors white person stamina as my Kenyon ass runs shoeless past you without even sweating in this marathon!! Kiss my New Balances biotches!!!

Breaking news

Confidential source tells ESPN's Joe Schmo that Urban Meyer told Jesus Christ (lord and savior to billions) that he would love to coach at Ohio State and "any help you could lend would be appreciated". Unconfirmed reports say Jesus told Urban "I'll see what I can do, but this tebow thing is a real drain on the resources. I mean I know i'm the son of God, but 4-1 with that throwing motion - takes all my miracles"

wk 12 picks

Some week for kickers, huh? Here is a question for the people that make lawyers seem like mother Teresa – Color Commentators. Why, if saying nothing will offend no one and saying something will certainly piss off somebody, can’t you just keep your fucking mouth shut? I know logically that you stating the obvious had nothing to do with the extra point being blocked, but it didn’t need said because it is obvious and only opens you up to ridicule. If you were quiet I would want to kill the kicker, but since you opened your stupid-overpaid-useless skeet skeet hole – now I want to tell you to go get your fucking shine box!!


Note – that paragraph was AFTER I gave myself time to calm down!!

I believe I am now ahead of 3 people in the picks, that’s right, I rule!!

I wrote down a half thought and can’t remember what context it was in or which game it was for now, so this will be completely without relation or context, but I still think it is a funny enough visual to include in this weeks picks… he would hide as well as me in a anorexia midget awareness where’s Waldo poster, where I’m Waldo… ehh, damn wish I could remember what that related to?

On to the greatness…

10 – ND, easiest pick of the season, BC is bad. I guarantee this pick, if ND losses to BC I might not do college picks next year because I can see no scenario of that team beating ND. And I’m a browns fan, I actually could imagine a scenario where the browns would make the playoffs this year and we see what has happened this season. Laces out Dan!!

9 – Oregon, not sure why I have this so high, but they are at home and that offense is rolling.

8 – St U of NJ, had them winning anyway, but moved it up in points when I heard cincy’s QB is not going to play. Go fighting Gambino’s!!

7 – Okla, no comments on this, but man could the BCS be a bigger mess that ever before in a couple of weeks if teams like okla and Arkansas pull some upsets?

6 – Texas, Mac Brown quietly has best team he has had in a couple years.

5 – S. fla, not to beat a dead horse, but damn we lost to MIAMI!!

4 – UAB, really only winner in this game is people fortunate enough to not have any relation to either of these schools and thus free from having to watch this game. Talk about who cares.

3 – Mich, I just don’t think Nebraska or want Nebraska to come in to the bigten their first year and beat us, penn st, and t.u.n.

2 – Osu, hoping that we show up inspired to play and get off to a better start, I’ve seen great buckeye teams and bad buckeye teams, but not sure I’ve seen a team that can go back and forth from really good to really bad like this team? Wow, hopefully Posey will make a Hugh difference in our passing game and help us get two really big wins!!

Want a laugh or cry… mathematical equation for us to make inaugural B10 champ game;

We win last 2 games (hard enough on its own), then Ill beats wisc this weekend (is your head on fire yet?) and then penn st loses to wisc next week (will definitely happen, so really the first two parts of the equation are the impossible factors). To be positive for a second, Illinois does have talent to beat wisc and is at home; now if we could kidnap the Zooker so he can’t miss manage every aspect of sideline game management…

1 – Fresno st, I’m going against my rule of road teams at Hawaii, but those Fresno guys probably are around attractive/morally loose women every day, so maybe they will be able to just concentrate on football, maybe?

So there you have it and though I didn’t kick ass last week, I did do ok and moved up in the standings, so….

Bad luck to all of you, may I be the insurgent with a dull knife and you be Kaddafi!!

Fuck ESPN

Fuck off espn, fuck off coach K, fuck them all, I declare jihad on ESPN, fucking dicks!!
