Hugh Hefner Just Emailed Us From The Grotto
Hugh says his staff sports hack thinks Ohio State and Texas are destined to face off again in the Fiesta Bowl. This time with all the bunny ears on the line. Says Ohio State, led by the inestimable Terrelle Pryor, will triumph.
Playboy’s 54th annual College Football Pigskin Preview appears in the magazine’s September issue (on newsstands and at www.playboydigital.com Friday, August 13), and predicts the Ohio State Buckeyes will go undefeated this year and defeat the University of Texas Longhorns in the national championship game.
I really can't watch another loss in the big game. Stoopsian. If we get there, we need to win it.
The article not only includes Sports Editor Gary Cole’s picks for the NCAA’s top 25 teams, but also features Playboy’s Preseason All America Team, which lauds the best players in the nation by position.
I've always favored the Egyptian Wheelbarrow.
Other mentions of note:
Coach of The Year: Gary Patterson
If we hose up this Muschamp thing, is Gary a frontrunner? It would possibly cause the Purple Wimple to explode.
D Line: Sam Acho - Texas
Sam is the man.
Apparently our cadre of DBs are out-classed by guys from Clemson and Virginia. Apparently he hasn't seen recent portentous body art or any of last year's highlights. Hope NFL scouts are in agreement.

The guy on the right may or may not be the guy who writes sports for Playboy.
The next Barking Carnival offsite is likely to be at Hef's place.

I thought the guy on the right was Clipper.

PB’s championship game prediction sucks major ass. Ohio State could very well get there but they’re a dream match-up in my mind. If we were within 3 points of Alabama with 3 minutes to go in the game last year with a true freshman at the helm than tOSU is going to be in for a painful night.
Can Havili stop breaking his teammates faces long enough to be an All-American?
Michael Floyd is a much better WR than Julio Jones.
That has to be the worst All American offensive line I’ve ever seen. Take that defensive line and put it up against that offensive line and you have a Jake Locker running for his life.
I’ll be watching Von Miller this year. I think people are putting way too much emphasis on his sack numbers accumulated against predominantly against weak competition.
The DB’s gave me the largest chuckle. Those talent scouts at PB have an eye for trim but not football.

“v Anson Mount Scholar/Athlete: Greg McElroy – Alabama”
Wow, that guy must be EXTREMELY smart to counterbalance his shittiness as a QB.
Man, Patterson wouldn’t be a bad fall back. Think he could scheme with the collection of talent we have on the defensive side of the ball? Yeah, prolly.
Critics far and wide are sleeping on A. Williams. It’s baffling.
There’s no way in hell I can see tOSU beating us.

Agreed with maninblack. Michael Floyd is better than both AJ Green and especially Julio Jones. I would be shocked if Floyd isn’t the first WR drafted next year. For all that Golden Tate made a lot of plays (and was a second round pick iirc) last year it was Floyd who was obviously the best player on the field for ND whenever they were on offense last year. Tate was getting single coverage because Floyd was getting double covered with various chips and helps from third defenders on most plays.
I won’t pretend to know anything about those UVA and Clemson guys but AJ was better than Amukamara last year and he’ll be better than him this year too.

You guys need to stfu about Aaron Williams being a 1st rounder, IMO. If he goes unnoticed and the “experts” tell him he’s 2nd round material, then he stays one more year.

Yeah because a bunch of 30 something white guys on a message board are going to alert NFL scouts to Aaron Williams.

regarding the title game, we’ll just have to see whether ol’ hef was bungle in the jungle or blotto in the grotto. time’ll tell.

Yount at Long Snapper is bullshit. Dude is coasting on his rep and media love. Desmond Howard is already on the bandwagon, and Holtz is next.

I love Michael Floyd, but this is revisionist history. He missed half the season with his injury. Tate dominated whether Floyd was on the field or not.
