Before we get to the picks of the week, I must admit, when I opened the mailbox earlier this week and saw the cover of this month's Esquire entitled "Sexiest Woman On Earth," I was surprised. Kate Beckinsale? The chick from Serendipity? OK. At least it isn't Megan Fox (or Shia LaBoff, right Body?) or Scarlett Johannson (and her man-ish voice) yet again. Then I opened up to read the article, and I was surprised yet again. That chick (woman, excuse me) is SMOKIN' HOTT. Yeah, I included the extra T. WOW. I have a new respect for Kate, and by respect I mean I think she just might be the sexiest woman on the planet.
I asked Paul Mac aka The Body about it and this is what he said....
Usually when you think hottest women in the world you don't think Kate Beckinsale... but seriously... she is ridiculously sexy. I watched 2 vampire movies for her alone.
With that, let's go to the picks.....
Pitt @ Rutgers (hey, this one is TONIGHT!) Remember when Greg Shiano was THE HOTTEST THING SINCE KATE BECKINSALE? He turned down Miami, Alabama, and several other big time programs because he thought Rutgers was going to be the next big thing....Way to go Fogler! You lose this one too because you're stupid. Like the woman who couldn't understand why my father wanted her to move her car after she had double-parked and blocked us in our parking space. "MOVE YOUR CAR!" why? "BECAUSE YOU'RE STUPID!"
Saturday's fare....
No.20 Oklahoma v #3 Texas in the Red River Bible Study. They don't like calling it THE SHOOTOUT anymore, because that supports violence or something. OooooooooooK. I heard the same people were trying to get Colt McCoy to change his name too. McCoy wins the QB battle against Sam Bradford and the Longhorns Hook the Sooners yet again. And Sam Bradford once again wishes he had gone pro. And I cannot wear my OU hat to work out in next week, which is the real crime here. I'm not an OU fan at all (unless watching a game with my in-laws... I'll never forget you turning your back on the Dawgs in September! I'm like Urban Meyer!) but I like wearing that hat to work out it. It fits well and I've got the sweatline working on it.
7 Ohio State @ Purdue. Great, Ohio State is still in the top ten with a chance to win the Big11 to get a rematch of the Buckeyes and the Trojans in the Rose Bowl. Yawn. I already saw that game once. Oh, wow a Freshman won the game....Would I have to watch it again? Well, it isn't like I could watch Georgia in a bowl game instead. Georgia might not even make a bowl....Ohio State wins this one because the universe hates me
No.11 Iowa @ Wisconsin. Are the Badgers BACK? No. The Hawkeyes will beat them in Madison, but this is the start of Iowa's tough schedule, I'm afraid. And Coach Kirk Ferentz is the best example of why Georgia fans need to quit calling for CMR's head. Ferentz is a great coach, just like Richt, and he was down for a bit, but he's back now. Richt will be too. Take Iowa and keep the faith you Dawg People! (It's OK to hate Willie though.)
Northwestern @ Michigan State on ESPN2 at Noon....which means just one thing...crank up Pam Ward's Dance Party at 3:15 in Lansing! Ye-HAW! I'd love to see Pam Ward do the boot scoot boogy! Actually, she only does the pasa doble! I'm sure I spelled that incorrectly. And I'm sure Sparty wins.
Wake @ Clemson. If Wake wins, would they be the front-runners for the ACC Atlantic title? I asked Daddio the other night if he could name the teams in the ACC Atlantic, and it took him a minute to think about it. NO ONE GETS YOUR BREAKDOWN. YOU SCREWED THIS UP ACC! EAST/WEST, NORTH/SOUTH...those are logical. REDRAW YOUR LINES! And take Wake, because Dabo isn't the coach Jim Grobe is. "I just yelled at him a while..." (pretend that was Dabo's clip from 680 playing ala The Soup with Spencer's "That's the Problem." Thanks Joel!)
Arkie @ #1 Florida. Did I ACTUALLY see ESPN is trying to say that Arkansas has a shot to upset Florida in the Swamp? Umm, I know Ole Miss did it last season, but last season Ole Miss had a defense. JUST SAYING....take Florida to win by 900. PS, if John Brantley was ANY GOOD AT ALL, he'd have played some last week. Hey JB, you think the Dawg walk was funny? Your lack of ability is funny!
#6 USC @ #25 Notre Dame. I heard that Notre Dame was NOT going to wear the Green Unis. Good call. You seem to lose in those a bunch. (Hey, at least Georgia was a WINNING RECORD in the Black jerseys!) I think it is also funny that everyone thinks The Fupa master might actually win this one too. Ummm, USC already lost its one game this season. USC rolls and I wonder if Charlie gets the mice from Cinderella to clean under his FUPA. Just an image I want you to remember.
Minnesota @ #14 Penn State. Well at least Penn State is playing a D-1 school this week. Minnesota at home though, they'll be celebrating in Happy Valley. I am betting it snows. Speaking of snowing, WHY DID THE TWINS leave their dome for an outdoor stadium? Are you seriously trying to lose the few fans you have left? Do you know how cold the playoffs will be if you ever make them again, considering ZERO free agents will want to come play in an OUTDOOR STADIUM IN MINNESOTA?! vikings i can understand, but the Twins? REALLY? BASEBALL?
Texas Tech @ #15 Nebraska. So the Red Raiders QB had h1n1 a few weeks back? Now LeBron James gets it? If this was April, ESPN would be having a "death watch," but now people realize that the swine flu is no big whoop, so yeah it's news...sorta. If they had just listened to me....Nebraska and the blackshirts beat the Red Raiders. Sorry Mike Leach.
Cal @ UCLA. I read that Cal was going to take buses down to LA to play this game. WOW. Buses to save money. I imagine that the granola heads will protest that the buses put too much smog into the air, but then they were protesting that the team shouldn't be flying because of money. I guess just disband football at Cal to make the protesters happy. Hey, OR you could go to class. Just saying.....you guys are NO Sandy Cohen. And PS, if Cal was still undefeated, they'd be flying....just saying. Cal wins.
NC State @ BC. ACC FOOTBALL! GET SWEPT UP IN IT! Sorry, I tried. I just cannot. Wait, THIS IS THE ABC regional game I have to watch? Shite. Take BC.
UVa @ Maryland. The Hoos could go 3-3 and 2-0 in ACC play with a win. They'll be withuot Mikeal [sic] Simpson but I still think Maryland is too bad to win this game. Daddio is happy come Saturday evening, and not just because of the cough medicine...;)
#17 KU @ Colorado. Ahhhhhhh the Big 12 North. I think Todd Reesing and Matt Grothe are trying to be get another year of eligibility so they really can stay at KU and USF for 19 years apiece. Colorado is terrible, but I am also tempted to root for them so they'll be bad again next year when Georgia comes a-callin'. If they get a new coach in there, he might turn it around. Rock chalk Jayhawk
UAB @ Ole Miss. The Rebels need a win. And a mascot that isn't based on the civil war. But the Grove is beautiful and I need to go at some point. Wifey though would yell at me probably, so I will name HER the Sexiest Woman on Earth. Congrats Wifey! and congrats Ole Miss. You'll win this game.
#9 Miami @ UCF. Oh, so Miami played all of its hard games early so they can thump the cupcakes in the middle of the season. PREDICTION, Miami wins and I have to go through another week of "THE U IS BACK, BABY!" from my Miami peeps. Oh, the U is back alright, back in a January 1 bowl, but not much more.
UK @ Auburn. Mike Hartline is out. Crap, Rich Brooks is closer to realizing Randall Cobb is their best QB. Once again, he'll likely realize it the week leading up to the Georgia game. GREAT! Take Auburn at home.
Picks de jour.
Lock of the week
#22 South Carolina @ #2 Alabama. As if Alabama's wanting to justify it's No.2 ranking isn't enough. As if Alabama at home isn't enough. As if a Nick Saban in his prime v a Steve Spurrier 12 years past his prime isn't enough. Wait, those three are enough. Actually just one of those is enough. SoCar gets knocked back down to earth with this one. Sorry Stevie. Tide Rolls.
Upset of the week
Mizzou @ #16 Okie State. Dez Bryant is likely out because the NCAA decided to let the Cowboys use the illegal player against UGA but no mas. Kendall Hunter is likely out due to injury. I like Mizzou coming off of their loss last week with 3 extra days to prepare because of the Thursday game. Take the Tigers! Eat it Pokes!
Pro game
Chicago @ Atlanta. The Dome will be rockin' (well maybe not since Atlanta hasn't embraced the Falcons yet. Why? Because a bunch of the "Falcons fans" still wear No.7 jerseys.) and last season it took Matty Ice being Matty Ice for the team to steal a last second win. The Falcons won't need the heroics this time. Jay Cutler loses on his return trip back to the Dome. Matt Ryan is the better young QB in this game. Take the dirty birds.
Local rooting interest
#4 VaTech @ #19 Georgia Tech. Well, once again I was wrong about GT. So I'm going to go opposite of what wasn't working. I think GT is unstoppable on offense in this game and wins the biggest home game in years on the Flats. VaTech doesn't have the explosive offense that can take advantage of GT's weak Defense and it will need to keep up with GT. Take the Ramblin' Wreck I say through gritted teeth.
Georgia travels to Music City for the first of two trips this season. The first trip to play Vandy, the second for the GAYLORDS Music Bowl. Yippee! I'm not even going to put any KEYS TO THE GAME out there. I do think it is funny that Rennie Curran had a warrant out and CMR said that he won't get suspended. Yep, that's how far we've fallen that we won't punish a guy because we NEED him against Vandy. Awesome. We suck. I told my cousin that he should transfer since he is still just a freshman. If for no other reason to get away from the UGA chapter of DTD. Poor T-Bird. Hey, did you see Georgia's next Head Coach last night? He lost his QB and still won the game. You Go Cincinnati! Brian Kelly will make a GREAT head coach. Just kidding....or am I?
