A Short Painless Review – 7-4
The Tar Heels couldn’t do jack against the Blue Devils. Painfully close I
didn’t watch a second of this game after half time. What the hell am I
supposed to do if Carolina’s football team can barely beat Duke this year?
This is going to be a long college hoops season, that’s for sure.
Iowa has played like the program we’ve all come to expect after a few early
season losses that took them out of their divisional picture. That hasn’t
seemed to bother them though, as they have made it their priority to remove
as many other teams from the divisional race as possible.
Ohio State took down Michigan by the half point I needed to come out a
happy camper. The Buckeyes made it a little closer than I like, but who
doesn’t enjoy a heart-twister now and again? Me.
The Huskies lost for the second straight year, matching the Cougars longest
streak over Washington in the entire history of the 98 game rivaly series, 2
in a row. Are you kidding me? It was the Huskies who Couged it in this one.
Oregon mauled Oregon State. “Expect State to get their teeth kicked in
quite painfully. Think American History X.” What can I say? Take them when
you can.
A close game in South Carolina put the Clemson Tigers in the win column for
the 7th time this season. And Steve Spurrier lost again. And I won money.
Ah, the good life helped me get even at 3-3 halfway through Saturday.
California dominated Stanford, but don’t be confused, both of these teams
are poor. Stanford is just that much worse. What was it I said about Cal?
They’d win “Either way, and especially if Cal sits their struggling starting
QB, the Bears will win easily in this rivalry game.” Steve Levy, who just
happened to be a back-up full back a year ago, came in and got the win for
Cal.
‘Bama struggled after losing their undefeated season last week to LSU. They
came back late, but it wasn’t enough to cover as I lost my 4th game of the
day.
The Hokies won easily against an overmatched Virginia team. 52-14… Yeah,
that’s what I’d call and easy victory. Nice and easy on the stomach, that’s
how I like em.
Fresno State almost pulled out the upset in Southern California. Does
everyone play their best football against the Trojans? Or does the Trojans
defense just allow everyone to score freely? This easy cover took me to 6-4.
Penn State outlasted the Spartans by 9, making me a one point winner in
this one, and a 7 game winner on Saturday. Pretty solid comeback after one
of my worst performances, no, wait, yep, my worst perfromance of all time.
Joe Paterno for president!
