BudNascar 2014 starting and a reason my posts have been down...

Not that many people read my blog, but my posts have been way down because I don't have as much time for long writing as i'd like right now and any quick thoughts or pictures I find funny in my travels have found new homes in the bowels of social media. My beloved wife took my phone a while back and just signed me up for Instagram so that i'd stop saying where'd you see that picture? And I must admit it's kind of awesome! Then on my own, ya know cause once that bitch Pandora gets out her box... I joined twitter which I did once claim to loath more than anything on earth and boy was I wrong!! It's great to follow funny people or sports stuff or tattoo stuff or pretty much anything your into (which probably means 90% of it is porn) but I like the OSU insider stuff and getting all my whack pack updates for the Howard Stern show. So that's what i've been up to...

And this Sunday my second favorite sport returns to fill my college football void with the SuperBowl of racing - The Daytona 500!! I'll be at Casa de Slack watching with my friends and rooting for the 88!! As I am again running the best fantasy sports game BudNascar, here are my picks for segment 1 - I must be on record with my picks, I wouldn't want someone to think i'm as corrupt as Francis Underwood!! (If you ain't watching House of Cards on Netflix you're missing best show since Breaking Bad)

Daytona - Jr.
Phoenix - Hamlin
Vegas - Edwards
Bristol - Kurt Busch
Cali - Kenseth
Martin - Johnson


Hope the few of you that read this are well and that the weather gets nice soon so we can get out and see each other!!

Bowl Game musings

I don't think i'm going to turn in/spend money to gamble this year and I really only enjoy doing this for the game titles, so don't take my advice on any games, I will probably lose more than I win with these picks.

Also, my grammar might be worse then normal as I did this in about half an hour and didn't proof read at all and spell checked in 30 seconds and well the few of you that actually take time to read my insane ramblings know how poor my grammar is usually. Here it is, hope you enjoy and laugh at least once maybe more?

The we’re not Under armor or Nike but we hope to be please buy our stuff Gildan New Mexico Bowl – Colorado St will win this game in honor of their greatest coach Earl Bruce!!

The it’s not the lubricant you’d expect to advertise for this bowl Royal Purple Las Vegas bowl – I had to look it up, but Royal purple is a motor oil advertising for Las Vegas bowl, I’ve been to Vegas twice and this bowl should be sponsored by Astro-Glide! Any way I’ll take Fresno St to win because Trojans aren’t used effectively in Vegas – what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas! Maybe next year it will be called The CDC Las Vegas bowl!

The if we keep saying we’re famous maybe we’ll be famous someday Idaho Potato Bowl – We get it, nothing important happens in Idaho besides Potatoes, we don’t care. Surprisingly this might actually be a pretty good matchup and I want to pick Buffalo, but I think SDSU will win.

The you’ve seen our trucks jack-knifed on the highway R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl – If they ever name this the Chocolate city Bowl I’ll be there!! I know nothing about these teams, but I’ll take ULL to win.

The Bw’s of the south Beef O’Brady’s St. Petersburg Bowl – ECU beats the actual Ohio University which I wish was playing that team up north just to see what Coach Hoke would call them and so that they’d have a shot at losing twice to ‘Ohio’.

The if I can afford to go to Hawaii one day I’m not staying at a Shearton Hawai’i Bowl – Boise St wins because they’ll be focusing on the Beavers while the Beavers are trying to focus on other beavers!!

The kmart of pizza should be the sponsor for a bowl game in Detroit Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl – BGSU wins and has 11 wins!! Unbelievable!!

The how many flowers are you buying that you need to finance the purchase S.D. County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl – N. Ill wins as their QB sets every offensive record for this Bowl Game.

Say something funny about us fat man we dare you Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman – Maryland wins and the Sad Ten tries to claim it this year to help what will be an awful bowl record again.

The best bowl because we don’t have a sponsor Texas Bowl – Minn wins, 1 of only 2 wins I see for the Sad Ten.

Still losing but still trying Fight Hunger Bowl – It be easier to fight hunger if ya’ll didn’t sell your food stamps for pennies on the dollar to use the money on Lucky Strikes and Clamato but who am I to judge… BYU wins because Wash coach is a Trojan now.

The I love their hats but hate when people leave the bill flat because I’m a product of the 90’s bend that shit tight and wear it back words like it’s meant to be worn punk New Era Pinstripe Bowl – Notre Dame wins and will be back at the top next year when they get their QB back, assuming he minds his P’s and Q’s in school this time.

Nothing says football like online shopping for clothes Belk Bowl – Don’t care but I’ll pick Cincy

Yes we make the helmets but seriously we make other sports stuff too check us out please Russell Athletic Bowl – Louisville wins – Browns draft their QB – I slit my wrists – Callie saves my life – then kills me in anger that I would try to kill myself over the Browns.

If your in Ohio you should be going to Roosters for your wings Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl -  Mich wins and yes I realize the Bad Ten I have at 2-0 so far in picks, but wait it gets real ugly coming up.

The we spend more than the next 12 highest spending countries in the world combined Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl – Come on world don’t you love how we spread the peace? It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a hope there’s not a computer glitch in the sat nav guidance system “our bad” attack drone!! My country this of thee… This next line is directly for Slackman – “… Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.” Navy wins right? Go Navy Beat MTSU doesn’t sound as good.

Fuck helping you out on your bad home loan you weren’t really qualified for when we were giving mortgage loans away like tooth paste we need to advertise for a football game no one cares about Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl – Ole Miss wins

I’m a 7/11 man so F off Valero Alamo Bowl – Oregon offense vs Greg Robinson’s defense – who you picking?!! Duh!!

The you couldn’t get in to Phoenix University National University is your place Holiday Bowl – Sun Devils get evil in a whopping!!

The shhhh we own Amway but call ourselves a multi-level marketing company because Pyramid scheme is so harsh AdvoCare V100 bowl – BC wins over the richrods me thinks.

Remember when we were the Kia of car makers (we hope not) Hyundai Sun Bowl – Sun bowl plays in an Awesome little stadium and I look fwd to watching this game each year and hope to see the Bruins but a beat down on Beamer ball.

Have a shitty car, we got what you need everyday AutoZone Liberty Bowl – Miss St wins, but don’t watch this bowl - – it’s the Liberty Bowl and if I win the mega millions I’m going to buy the rights to this bowl and shut it down because it is sight of maybe worse bowl memory in Buckeye history and someone should have punched Coop in the face after that game!!

Jesus told us to spread obesity to our trailer park followers but not on Sunday because that’s his day to redeem them from their slovenly ways Chick-fil-A Bowl – Texas A&M wins, unless Johnny football gets suspended for something before game.

Seriously the Bucks last bowl game was a loss in this game TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl – Uga gets healthy over the break and destroys the cornhuskers.

Jerry Jones is the Crypt Keeper Heart of Dallas Bowl – North Texas wins

It’s Alec not Alex Always Be Closing those leads are for closers Capital One Bowl – LSU kills Iowa – Kirk Ferentz I believe has 2 B1G coach of the year trophies and Earl Bruce was last Buckeye coach to win one in 1979 – why the B1G doesn’t compete on National level anymore you ask?

Give me cheese fries and spicy ranch and some alone time Outback Bowl – I’m hungry now S. Car wins, but I think this one will be competitive but still not go good in the end for Bad Ten.

Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio – This will be unwatchable to Ohio State fans when Stanford wins 28 – 3, I’m still at a loss for how Hyde only touched the ball 18 times when he was averaging 6.5 yds a carry vs “the best defense in the country” huh?! Fuck!!

The red headed step child of the BCS we don’t get the good teams anymore apparently Tostitos Fiesta Bowl – Baylor wins

Someone ought get Oklahoma some good insurance for this game Allstate Sugar Bowl – Bama and Saban going to make a statement after a long month plus of stewing over this years Iron head decision bowl

If we don’t Discover a defense we’ll be crying Discover Orange Bowl – Clemson wins and of course I hope I’m wrong, but have you seen Sammy Watkins play and have you seen our defense? My only hope is we can run Hyde 30+ times as we should have against Sparty and win a 56-49 type game.

The what’s a pay phone AT&T Cotton Bowl – maybe one of best match ups of bowl season, I think I’ll go with Mizzu to win.

The they ought to stop these crappy bowl games sandwiched in with the BCS bowls no one cares BBVA Compass Bowl – Vandy wins

Get naked and shut up Danica GoDaddy Bowl – Ball st wins?

The SEC gets another one Vizio BCS National Championship Game – I won’t be watching someone text me if Famous Jamious try’s to assault any women (allegedly) on the sidelines during the game. Auburn will win as Fl St has yet to face a good defense this year and let’s face it, this will be 10 of 16 BCS nat champ for the SEC and yet none of their cheating scandals have ever led to any real sanctions by the NCAA yet Ohio St, USC, Miami, Pedi St and Oregon have all got something – lesson if you need a lawyer, higher one the SEC uses!!

I say Auburn wins 45-31

Why they've lost my vote

For fiscal conservatives that are socially liberal or well at least not a bigot hate monger bent on jamming religion and beliefs down everyones throat, this article shows why the republican party (well the extreme right of it) are to blame for election failure.

Seriously this is happening in America! 

Ich bin ein Berliner anyone?

Common sence help is all!

Last week of CFB picks for 2013

Not really any chance of winning or even making the money this year, but it's ok because we won vs that team up north!!

I'm going to take the space here to shout out to what might be best (direct link) coaching tree in history of football and maybe we should call Earle the Godfather of football coaches? Here is a list of coaches who coached directly for Coach Bruce in his 9 years at THE Ohio State University...

Glen Mason - Off Cord 78-85 - very successful at Minnesota no small feat

Mark Dantonio - GrAsst 83-84 - very successful at MSU, but hopefully not this weekend

Pete Carrol - Sec Cord 1979 - 3 Nat titles at USC (1bcs/2 shared titles (ap)) possible Superbowl this year?

Nick Saban - DB coach 80-81 - 4  BCS Nat titles (1at LSU/3 at Bama) and probably more to come.

Dom Capers - DB coach 82-83 - Successful NFL Head Coach

Jim Tressel - QB coach 83-85 - 1 BCS Nat title (3 BCS title games) and 9-1 vs TUN!!

Urban Meyer - TE coach 86/WR coach 87 - 2 BCS Nat titles - hope more to come! 2-0 so far vs TUN!


So 10 Nat titles, that's pretty impressive, mad props to Coach Bruce!!

Ok for my picks I only care about 1 game and i'm not overly confident, but Go Bucks!!!!

10 - Fsu wins

9 - N. Ill wins

8 - Ok st wins

7 - Baylor wins

6 - ASU wins

5 - Mizzu wins

4 - St U of NJ wins

3 - SMU wins

2 - OSU wins

1 - Cincy wins

Thanks El Prez for another great year of CFB!!

Week 11 picks (yeah really I did it this week)

Well I’m actually going to take some time here to do my picks proper this week and break off some thoughts, please excuse my typos and misspeaking as I will not have time to go back and proof read for my usual barrage of errors. I am occasionally funny and once in a blue moon on accident I can be smart, but never at the same time or consistently – if I could I would, but I can’t so I shant! Phat Seuss!!

Buckeyes on off week number 2 and it comes at a good time to get some dings healed, but as a fan these long seasons with multiple bye weeks this sucks!! Offense is really clicking (B1G is so bad ought to score 40+ every week) and defense is playing better, hopefully because of getting better and not just because of playing freshman QB’s? Time will tell…

Wk 11 games (I think it’s week 11?)

10 pts – Bama wins, I think this is going to be upset pick (of big 3 unbeatens playing) that most people and the experts will pick. DID THEY FORGET THAT S.A.B.A.N. (Satan’s associate bastard asshole nincompoop) is still the coach? Yes they may have struggled early (and still won anyway), but now their young defense is getting deadly and they can run the ball and they can pass because QB usually has enough time to finish his homework (which he’s at Bama, so he probably needs a long time for that). Let me put it this way, we don’t want the 48 to win another championship and we don’t want Saban to win another National Title, but it’s more likely to happen than not, so (not that it will help) get praying!!

9 pts – Tun wins, if Brady tanks at home vs Hailmary Husker after that beating vs Sparty last week then he won’t need a jacket ever because his seat will keep him plenty warm. How sick am I? I thought after Sparty won, great now only thing they have to play for is to upset us to save their season, selfish much?!! Oh yeah, best I can tell Coach grumpy face for Sparty is 10-9 vs tun (or tds (down south) if you’re a sparty fan I guess?) as a coach and 5-3 as a head coach. Maybe if Tun is looking for a new coach in future they should hire Dantonio? (No bad idea don't do that forget I ever said that, el prez inhale exhale inhale exhale... it's not going to happen you are in a save place, happy thoughts happy thoughts!!) Oh and for the Husker fans, based on play calling and how they play wouldn't you think Bo was the one doing the booger candy and hitting the bong?

8 pts – Baylor wins, I got to think that Baylor will lose down the stretch against tougher part of their schedule, just not sure it will be at home to boomer sooner. Game should have lots of scoring, if Baylor drops 60+ again that will be impressive. I look for a 49-45 score.

7 pts – Oregon wins, My most likely of the three to fall, but just don’t think it will happen because I think it is destined to have 4 undefeated teams in final year of BCS and right before the 4 team playoff starts next year because who would want to see a playoff with Bama, FSU, OSU and Oregon or Baylor? Can you believe it took so long for the morons in charge to get to a playoff?

6 pts – Wisconsin wins, and hopefully gets the Bad1G a little respect? Maybe? Shit, they Bucks desperately need them to win and Sparty to win out and to beat Sparty (and all left before) solidly to have anyone think we belong. So look for the fighting mormons to beat bucky bad…

5 pts – ASU wins, really would pay almost anything to go back to a world where I didn't know the Utah, Utah St, Boise St, Fresno St actually played football. How do you get a 18yr old man to want to go Provo? Or Boise? Or SLC? ( I dare anyone to try and watch the movie SLC Punk sober)

4 pts – Tejas wins, bet those guys are so excited to travel to Morgan-town in early Nov, if heat in hotel isn't good, just go find a porch with a burning couch and warm up that way, Don’t mess with the women or you’ll find a burning sensation when you get home!! I really want to make a good gummy bj joke here, but nothings coming to me, any help???

3 pts – Florida wins, Vandy can’t really go to the swamp and win, right? I think Florida and Georgia have contracted with the Cleveland Clinic the way their players are getting injured! I can’t get carpal tunnel or staph from typing Cleveland Clinic? Shit I’ve done it twice now! Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!!

2 pts – Pittsburgh wins, just want to type that and it not mean the Steelers!! How’d Sparty lose to ND? CFB is schizoid or as el prez says Grrreeeaatt!!

1 pt – Penn St wins, Goldie can’t keep this up right? I mean it’s a great story and if they keep winning or at least playing well and ever put Kill back on the sideline they are MORONS!!

Well there it be an actual old school picks sheet, man I’m tired, oh well time to get back to work.

Oh and note to all these skinny coaches having heart attacks and strokes and such, get you some Andy Reid hours and eating habits because he has gone KC BBQ lunch and golf cart only movement body and has the Chiefs undefeated and looking at a Super Bowl which would be great because it be first time I can think of where a city not involved in Super Bowl would riot after the game! Not that a riot would change the face of Philly that bad…

Final segment of Budnascar 2013

Well 5 races left and I have a very slim lead, so these better be good picks...

Dega - Harvick

Martinsville - 48

Tejas - Kenseth

Phoenix - Kyle Busch

Miami - Edwards
