Notre Dame’s Leprechaun Still Guards A Pot of Gold

Charlie Weis and his Irish gang are hosting Purdue this week. Notre Dame is a slim (-1) favorite over the Boilermakers at home. But there is one sure bet. The Fighting Irish will once again find a pot of gold waiting in the endzone. That’s because Notre Dame collects almost $30 million a year.in multimedia […]

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - Rice

[I apologize for all the spacing issues in this post.  This software just baffles the hell out of me.] 
I’ve been betting on college football games off and on for about 30 years or so.  Never put too much money on the line - it’s just something I’ve done for fun, and to increase the interest level […]

36-Hour CramSession: College Football Week 3

I learned the following:
Josh Nesbitt of Georgia Tech may be the best sophomore QB you haven’t heard about. That’s probably because he plays for Georgia Tech. Think […]

Bash Your Bookie Bets: Week 4

Well, I’m 9-8-1 overall but 3-0 on double unit plays for a decent +4 units for the year. It’s been a below average run, but I’m still making money. The good news is that I really, really like this week’s card. I like it more than Chooky likes frosted tipped boy bands, […]

I no longer find Charlie Weis offensive

Look at the stats.
Notre Dame is dead last in rushing, total offense and scoring. There are only four teams with a worse passing offense.
Now I see Weis has three choices at this point to try and fix his offense.
1. Change quarterbacks
Already done that. There’s no one else to put in.
2. Steal his opponents’ defensive signals
Not […]

Games I’ll watch this weekend

Tennessee at Florida
Remember when Phil Fulmer was thought to be a great head coach? He went 45-5 from ‘95-’98 and won a national championship. Rocky Top! He then proceeded to lose 30 games over the next 8 seasons and never won a conference title. His fall from the mountain top made Hank Williams Jr wince. […]
