The Pac-10 is messy. Very, very messy. Not even Bounty (you know the quilted quicker picker upper) could handle this filthy, disgusting mess. Fortunately, Oregon is bringing clarity to it all with its astounding dominance, but in an attempt to provide motivation through my overly important blogging, they have to settle for second. 1. USC [...]
Pitiful (Again) Pac-10 Picks – Week 6
I just can’t put two weeks of football prognosticating together. I barely got above .500 thanks to some questionable refereeing at Notre Dame (and before Touchdown Jesus no less). It’s a light week of competition with three teams resting easy. Last Week: 3-2 Season: 27-10 (1st week was unpublished) Oregon @ UCLA Finally, the Ducks [...]
Progressing Pac-10 Picks – Week 5
If not for misplaced faith in Oregon State, I could have been perfect last Saturday. Alas, I’ll try again. Last Week: 4-1 Season: 24-8 (1st week was unpublished) UCLA @ Stanford I just can’t quit the Stanford bandwagon. I probably have more interest in their success than half their fanbase at this point and I’m [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 4 (Brought to You by Harris and Coaches' Poll Voters)
This week’s rankings are sponsored by the Harris and Coaches’ polls. Select members of each agreed to give me fake answers to some pressing questions about the reasoning behind their votes. Upon review, I’m nervous that the people deciding on these matters may be a problem. 1. USC (2-1) Les Miles, LSU head coach (Coaches): [...]
Pitiful Pac-10 Prognostications – Week 4
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 Last Week: 5-4 Season: 20-7 (1st week was unpublished) California @ Oregon Logic be damned, the Ducks are going to win.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 [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 3
The Pac-10 conference seems incredibly strong this year. Is there any team that can point at a single game other than WSU and count on a victory? I don’t think so. I got lazy this week and didn’t chase down any fake quotes, so you’ll have to do with my astute analysis. 1. Cal (3-0) [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 2
Week 2 is in the books. Once again, I dug deep and chased down some sources for the added perspective. 1. USC (2-0) Why: I promised they’d be on top with a win at Ohio State. No team has proven more than they have and for the rest of the season, they stay here until [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 1
It’s the first Pac-10 rankings for 2009. For extra perspective on each team, Off The Pond has dug deep into its sources and secured real quotes from around the conference. 1. 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, [...]
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 [...]
