Mooo--oom!! Sparty is playing too hard!!
Great win for the Green and Bronze! And all the Wolvies can do is complain we played too rough. Waaaa Waaaa Waaa!  

After 4 straight years - the Paul Bunyon trophy has enough credits to graduate from State. A few more years and he will be there as long as some of my kids.   

The Big Book of Guesses was not so hot going a fairly random 33-37-3. But - it's not how you pick 'em - it's how you bet 'em. And the Doofus had a great week too going 3-1 as:  

Week 4 Recap:  Alabama -25.0 @ Mississippi:  That's the way you blow out a team. Ole Miss scored on their opening drive but that was all. Bama then spent the rest of the game stuffing the Rebs (holding them to 137 yds of total offense) while piling on 52 points. A beautiful beat down. Final Bama 52 Ole Missing offense 7 WIN  


Clemson -8.0 @ Maryland -
 Clemson HC Dabo Sweeney was not about to get Mike Stoopsed and get the axe after blowing a Mega Bet. Trailing 38-24 late in the 3rd quarter to a mediocre Maryland team - the Tigers went on a tear. Clemson reeled off 32 points in a little over 15 minutes to beat the Terps. With 3:35 left they got their final TD and a a nice front door cover. Final Clemson 56 Cool flags 45. WIN  

Western Michigan -1.0 @ Northern Illinois -
Went to the well one too many times with Western. Should have stopped when I was ahead - especially on the road. In blustery conditions the Huskies kept to the ground - pounding out 494 yds on the Broncos. Western led 15-13 at the half but collapsed in the second half - letting up 38 straight points. Final NIU 51 Where's Waldo Stadium 22 LOSS  

Green Bay -15.0 vs St Louis -
Another nice beat down. Green Bay, in their hideous retro uniforms jumped to a 24-0 lead then coasted in the second half. The defense held the inept Rams offense to one late 2nd quarter FG. Final Green Bay 24 Lambs 3 WIN

A real face plant by the Doofus last week
Ooof - that was ugly. The Big Book of Guesses went 30-42-1.

The Mega Bets were just as bad going 1-3 as:
Week 6 Recap:
Western Michigan -10.5 vs Bowling Green -  Western continues to perform for the Doofus! The Broncos rolled for 278 yards in B slapping the Falcons. BGSU tied it at 14 all midway though the second quarter. But it was all Brown and Gold after that. The Broncos reeled off 31 straight points in the beat down winning 45-24. WIN 
 

Arizona -2.0 @ Oregon State - 
 A tough loss. ASU spotted OSU a 27-6 lead but climbed back to trail 30-27. But, with 5 minutes left the Beav put the final dagger in the heart of the Bum Devils with a TD - to go up 37-27. With their backs to the wall at home - OSU fought hard to win. A lesson I was to learn again on Sunday. To top it off, Arizona fired HC Mike Stoops this week. Apparently, the Wildcat brain trust respects a good Mega Bet and was furious for Stoops not coming through for the Doofus. You other head coaches better be listening! LOSS 
 

Texas A&M -8.5 @ Texas Tech -
  This game was typical for the week for the Doofus. A&M was trading TD's for TTU FGs and built a 15 point lead early in the 4th quarter. WIth 2:55 left and the score now 45-33 (TT got a FG that bounced off the upright and went through - ugh), A&M punted to the TTU 9 yd line. Playing against a soft defense, the Red Panty Raiders drove 91 yds for a TD to get the cover 45-40 with 31 seconds left. Good thing the Doofus was alone in the Man Cave - the profanities were curling the hair on the dog. In fact, I'm still pissing and moaning about that one. Crap! LOSS

Week 6 Mega Bets

The Spartans were having great success with the Waterboy Blitz package
What a great weekend for Football!

Michigan State was fantastic in shutting out OSU for 59:50. The nations's number 1 defense held the BuckNuts to 35 rushing yards and 178 yards in total. And consider this: Ohio State gained more than half of those yards on its last two drives, the first one ending in a fumble after 33 yards, and the second, a 62-yard touchdown drive with 10 seconds left against MSU's soft prevent defense.

On the day, the Buckeyes had five three-and-outs, four negative yardage drives and four more drives that went for under 10 yards. Bubba's spirit was roaming the sidelines Saturday.
 
MSU's offense, however, left too many points on the field as Kirk Cousin fumbled at the OSU 37, threw a pick in the OSU end zone and another pick at the OSU 20. The Spartans also missed a FG. That will need some fixing before they face Wisconsin and Michigan.
 
And what a come back by the Lions!! Down 27-3 early in the 3rd quarter, Tony Romo throws not one but two straight pick sixes. The Unknown Picker was right in calling out Romo. With the score now 27-17 Stafford and CJ got to work. Cowboy DC Rob Ryan had channeled his brother Rex Ryan by going all motor mouth on CJ - saying he would be no better than the Cowboys' third wide receiver. CJ made him pay by nabbing five catches for 58 yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to pull out the win 34-30. Nice.
 
Still - that is the second straight 20+ comeback in as many weeks. You can only go to that well so many times. The Lions are still struggling at the line of scrimmage. Next up is Chicago and a good DL. It will be Monday Night Football in Motown!! The fans will be rocking. Should be a great game!

Week 5 Mega Bets

Sorry - those Week 5 picks really stunk
Not a good week as the BBofG went 29-40-0 including a snake bit 2-7 on games decided by 1 point or less.

The Big Flippy finally awoke getting off to a modest 2-2 start going with  UAB (Win) LSU (Win) St. Louis (Loss) Atlanta (Loss). Randomness rules at an expected 50% clip.  

The Sax Man went 2-1 with Oregon (Win) Buffalo (Nice win - NE was up 21-0 but Buffalo came back to win 34-31 on a walk off FG) and Atlanta (Loss) bringing his season record to 6-4.  

In a strange finish - Toledo made a FG as time expired to tie the game. Syracuse went on to win in OT. But after the game the Big East issued a statement that a Syracuse extra point with 2:07 left was not good and the "replay official erred in not overturning the ruling."
Bad Call Had the extra point been ruled correctly Toledo would have won 30-29 in regulation. Toledo is now asking the Big East to have Syracuse vacate the win. Good Luck with that Rocket fans.  

An update on Minnesota HC Jerry Kill - he checked himself into the Mayo Clinic on Sunday after having another seizure that morning. It is unclear whether he will be on the sidelines in the  Big Ten opener against Michigan. Let's hope they get his condition under control. Meanwhile the Gophers continue to tank losing to 1AA North Dakota St 37-24 to drop to 1-3.  

Speaking of 1AA upsets - a week after UNLV beats Hawaii in a Mega Bet upset, UNLV loses to 1AA Southern Utah - sigh. I was right - UNLV is bad -they just get fired up when the Doofus picks against them. Well, I'm ready for you Rebs  - there'll be more mega bets coming after you!
