I need some redemption. I barely surfaced above .500 last week. There’s only one game on the Pac-10 schedule I’m sure of, so this could be a disaster. Last Week: 5-4 Season: 20-7 (1st week was unpublished) California @ Oregon Logic be damned, the Ducks are going to win. Well, I think they are. They [...]

Peerless Pac-10 Prognostications – Week 3
Big weekend for the Pac-10. If ESPN had more than a passing interest in west coast football, they’d come up with a cool nickname for it. Something like “Scintillating Saturday” or “Pac-10 Proving Day.” Warning: I’m about to homer the hell out of these games, credibility be damned (wait, when did I ever have credibility?). [...]
Pac-10 Picks for Week 2
I meant to do this last week, but I must have got knocked cold by a LeGarrette Blount right cross because my memory on Friday went bad and I forgot. Better late than never. I’m expecting 100% accuracy this season. Stanford @ Wake Forest I admit, I have a thing for Jim Harbaugh. He speaks [...]
Cause For Hope: The Oregon Defense

Cal Why: Dismantled Maryland The Cal fanbase says: “Oh my God, we KILLED Maryland. We’ll probably roll over USC and everyone else. Why aren’t [...]
Obligatory Conference Predictions
When you go into hiding for the better part of a year, you should have something really poignant for your first post. Well, I don’t. Instead, I’m going with the tried and true prediction entry that I mostly loathe. Might as well get it out of the way and move on to better things. Besides, [...]
A weekend in Tempe (including, but not limited to, one very kind cop)
As my mother always said, when life gives you no TV, make a 6 hour drive to Tempe. That never really made sense until last weekend. Smart woman, that one. Before I get to the football, I’d like to declare the stretch of road between San Diego and Phoenix a federal disaster. It’s not West [...]
Pre-Season Predictions – Useless, but Everyone's Doing It
You can’t have a blog, run a website, post in forums or basically breathe oxygen without at some point sitting down and doing your pre-season predictions. As such, I might as well do mine. But before I get to that, I’d like to remind you that I did get 1 out of 10 exactly right [...]
