like most of em.....UH is horrid though and I wouldn't bet on their defense to limt UT to under 60.....UT might hang half a hundy by the half.........
suggestion: easier to comment if you put your picks in thread format.......one less click away for us lazy guys....lol
Might go up toe aggieville this weekend.....never been there (toe Kyle field) and wnat to go before I head up there to see the sooners play....need to see how hostile they are to visiting fans before I wear my crimson......

thanks for the reply freeze. you're probably right about the UT game so I probably won't even play it.
and for all you lazy bastards:
Aub -2 @ Miss St.
Somehow I just get the feeling that Miss St. sucks this year.Could be the fact they sucked last year and Sherrill is their coach. They had an unimpressive showing against Oregon (albeit without their projected starter at QB). Auburn lost by 7 to USC and won big over Western Carolina and Vandy. So no big deal there. It seems like Auburn giving two points is too good to be true. I would play Auburn big but I keep hearing the fact in the back of my mind that Miss St. is 5-0 ATS (I think that's right) in their last 5 against Auburn. Two words come to mind that make me feel confident in Auburn: Cadillac Williams.
K-State -3 vs USC
K-State is once again blowing out crappy teams like we've become accustomed to. USC has a high ranking based on a solid victory against Auburn and a blowout against an overrated Colorado team. I think this game being on the road against a very good K-State team will be tough for USC to win. The Pac-10 is being touted as the best conference at this point but I think K-State is better than most think. This will be their first real test and I think they will pass it at home in the little apple. I would take K-State and give the points because I think their D shuts down USC's O.
NC State +2 @ TX Tech
Tech got me last week. I swear they suck and I'm going to give them one more chance to prove it. In Tech's defense they have always been far better at home than on the road. NC State has been beating up on some relative weaklings (WF, Navy, East Tennessee St., and New Mexico). I don't think they are as good as people say but I think they are good enough to beat Tech. Philip Rivers is talented and I would take NC State and the points.
Tennessee -3 vs Florida
I rarely ever play these games but I think this is a tough one for Fla since it's a road game in rockin' Knoxville. Tennessee has looked pretty decent against inferior competition. Fla has at least one tough game under their belt. I think Fla w/o Spurrier won't be able to beat Tennessee on the road. They lost at home last year and I think this year Tennessee will cover.
Fresno St. +12 @ Oregon St.
FSU only lost by 4 at Oregon, in a game that was as close as the score indicated, if not closer. IMO Autzen is a slightly tougher place to play than Beaver...er...Reser Stadium. FSU's starting QB is back after missing the Oregon game.
Mich -9.5 vs Utah
UM sucked huge donkey dicks last week, but Utah lost to AZ (albeit on a questionable call). I don't see Utah traveling that well to Ann Arbor. Hoping UM gets their shit together this game.
Under 66 Tex/Hou
I have this scenario in my mind where we go up 31-0 at the half, Chance Mock starts the 3rd and puts up 10, Matt Nordgren starts the 4th and puts up 3, and our 6th and 7th team D give up 7 each (7th team D gets jobbed by a pass interference call). 44-14, we don't cover but it stays under. I honestly doubt UH even gets 2 TD's on our D considering we our so deep and talented there but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and I see us doing a lot of experimenting with our backups.
VaTech -2 @ A&M
I absolutely love this game. Call me a sucker but I'm all over the Hokies. Those of you who think VT won't be able to run the ball on the Ags this week need to think back on how well Texas has been able to move the ball on the ground against the Ags in past years, against Wrecking Crews far more formidable than this year's version. Hell, Ricky Williams made a living running against A&M. You also need to consider that, while VT has never visited Kyle, they do play in a very similar atmosphere to Kyle every time they play a home game, so the experience will not be one they aren't accustomed to. Conversely, the Ags haven't shown they can move the ball on the Pitts of the world, much less a defense as good as VT. Even granting a stalemate with the two offenses vs. solid defenses, something will have to give, and I think special teams will be it.
So what does everyone think?

you better be careful with your VT pick. You should know by now that my Ags are tough team at home especially when we are getting points. that being said theres no way im betting on the Aggies just because our offense is terrible. take the under!! It is obvious that VT is the better team, but we all know the better team doesnt always win. you will be reminded of that tonight too. as far as Ricky Williams making a living against us running the ball I cant say I am ashamed of that since he is one of the best college running backs ever. i seem to remember us shutting down benson last year to the tune of about 60 yards or so. Suggs and Jones will be controlled on Saturday but i just hope thats enough. As for VT playing in a similar atmosphere to Kyle Field when they play at home arent you forgetting that when they play at home the crowd is quiet when they have the ball? I think playing in fron of 90,000 fans who are for you is a total different experience than playing at a stadium where 90,000 fans are screaming at you. hey maybe thats just me. good luck with your plays.
Come on down to the game dr. freeze kyle is a great atmosphere to watch a game. when OU comes to town we will be 9-0 if we can get by VT so watch out.

Sorry ag but if you admit that your offense sucks, then why not do the smart thing and bet against your beloved team?
BTW, Benson had 79 yds and 2 TD's last year at Kyle. Tell me again how Baylor fared against you guys at your place last year?
A&M has a good defense that can keep them in the game provided that they don't turn the ball over. I know you probably hat to admit it but this is not the same hostile crowd and hard-hitting Wrecking Crew of the 80's and early 90's. The saddest part is A&M has the inability to distance themselves from the Baylor's and Mcneese State's of the gridiron.
GL on your under play but I think the ags are about to really taste it on Saturday.

I like all your picks except Kansas St. I would take USC and the points. I am on Auburn big tonight! Good Luck!

have followed you for a while as well as many other reputable names at madjacks. I feel like this is as good of time as any to chime in. I like most of your picks and but two stand out-- first KState should bring it against USC. They went to USC last year and came away victorious, gut feeling they will do it again this year at home in a always difficult and hostile environment. You're a Big XII guy (SIP) and should know they have meat on their line. Second game is the Ags-we will never see eye to eye on this because I have maroon glasses on and you have the infamous orange shades. My thing with this game is our O-line has been injured and we are getting Yates back this week. He is the rock of the line, the attitude we haven't had. We get to move everyone back to their original positions. We shuffled with the injuries. You guys had this problem going into your buy week and solved it we have done the same although not a 100 percent yet you will see definite improvement. Our O is getting better we have good receivers who are fast and have been getting work with Slocum this week. He is coaching them and special teams himself. As you know he did this last year when our Defense had problems. Needless to say he fixed the problem. This week we will open things up and you will see some trick plays. Probably 2 or 3. Option play will also be seen. We have a environment they are not used to seeing with the stadium swaying. It will be loud and electric. Also our O-line outweighs there D lineby 30-40 pounds. They are quick, real quick. This is a statement game for A&M as we should be undefeated going into the OU game. Respect is on the line RC has called out our O-line and told the Defense to quit talking this week as they already said some bulletin board quotes. He would not allow Brian Gamble to talk to the media until he shaved. He is running a tight ship this year he knows he is on the hotseat, especially with the new president Gates and firing of our AD Groff. Gates has said simply PRODUCE!! This is the first chance he'll have to do so and I believe he does and as crazy as you might think this is I believe it will be a double digit victory. 10-14 points. Remember ULLA head coach was Virginia Techs O Coordinator last year we showed absolutely nothing. We won with our D as we normally do but time wiil tell you something I already know is we are A LOT better on O than people think. I am posting for the first time and will do so here and there but win or lose I will chime in next week with you and check your site for some more good info. Also one question-I was reading True Oranges e-mail and want to know how serious is VAsher hurt and will he play. The media knows nothing about this injury now from what I read ?? Also said Rodrique Wright might play and Dibbles is not far behind. Is there some problems over there. SMACK III said he was calling out the current back-ups by playing these freshman. Is this going to stir the pot for the team? Objectively are there internal problems?? Finall Freeze if you read this come on up to BCS but definitely stay for halftime if you've never attended an A&M game before. The ceremonies are great. And as far as seeing how hostile of an environment you will be getting into just keep this in mind whatever you experience this weekend it will be much louder and get pretty rowdy when OU comes in I gotta tell you though if we are undefeated as I think we will be. Gameday will be there and it will be another dimension I assure you. Our team is notorious for just getting by-just enough to win. We have been underachievers because of depth, finally we are getting healthy all the injuries from last year only gave the young guys experience now our starters are back and we have gametime experience at every position. Keep in mind last year we lost 4 scholarship Te's converted a true freshman d end to TE. Played a true freshman RB, OLinman, and two WRS. All skill positions were fish. They ran the wrong routes constantly. Farris was livid. He has been hurt-rotator cuff but they say tendinitis to the media this is another reason we have struggled to put points on the board. We weathered the storm to get to this game which was originally circled to take off Mcneals shirt. You will see a 30 percent dose of him as previously stated with the option game. Porter was hurt last year and went to play pro baseball but he is back and healthy. In my opinion he is who wins it for us. Mismatch for V-techs D. Enough on this game heading up there tomorrow and will check the boards as always, chime in when I know something

good call on the game tongiht Monk.....
I am thinking about that K-State game.....think the Cats are going to be tough to beat......they are the best team in the North this year although a distant 3rd in the Big 12......USC's win over Auburn gained a little credibility tonight though......kind of makes me a little more reluctant.....tough to get up for another one after kicking Colorado's ass though.....that is what makes me lean that way......may just play the under though....think Snyder might have another inept passing game and that will be tough to pull away from USC without....

I like your site. I have added it to my favorites. I also like most of your games. Auburn, Tennessee, and NCState are among my top games this week, along with South Carolina. Best of luck to you this weekend and beyond.
good luck monk. will be a big hokie fan this week as well for obvious reasons..have a good one..

mjones,
Very classy post, even from a gomer. J/K!
OK, I'll go on the record now. IF the aggies win, I'll put on my dunce cap, sit in the corner, and NEVER make fun of you guys again! Honestly, I'll respect an A&M win over Va Tech. Don't think it will happen, but I'll realize that their football team sacked up to beat a damn good Va Tech team.
I realize that getting Yates back should help out but I don't think it will be enough. You also mentioned A&M getting a double digit victory. Let me remind you this isn't a directional La. team they're playing - this is Va. f-ing Tech. They EAT careless and poor offensive/special teams programs for lunch, and that's what A&M is. There's no doubt that A&M's defense will hold the VaTech offense to one of their lower, if not lowest, output of the season. However, A&M's offense will be lucky to muster a couple of FGs. Unless the ags pull off a defensive score, they won't hit double-digits, much less WIN by double digits, meaning VaTech only has to get to 10-14 points to win. It'll be low scoring and close, but I can' t see how A&M win's if they can't score.
My prediction for the game is as follows:
V Tech leads a close game at the half. Ag D holds VT to 10 points. Another TD for VT in the 3rd. Aggie O plows ahead for 1 first down per 2 series. Aggie D collapses from exhaustion at beginning of 4th and VT scores a quick TD. Both teams put in the scrubs and Reggie McNeal freelances for lone aggie TD of game. Final score VT 24 A&M 13.
Regarding Vasher, he is listed as "questionable" for the UH game. Not sure if it was noticable on TV or not, but Vasher did twist an ankle against UNC in the second quarter, and Edorian McCullough (true fresh) came in to replace him. Vasher only missed a few plays, then returned for the rest of the game. Interestingly, we were in nickel for a few of these plays, and Huff slid over and played corner, while Griffin stayed inside at SS.
As far as the pecking order goes in the secondary, I don't think there are absolutes at this point, and I don't think where some of these guys line-up this season is necessarily an indicator for the future. My guess would be that Griffin is probably considered the third best "cover" guy we've got right now, and that if Vasher and Babers were to disappear, he and Huff would be the corners this season, with Edorian as #3 corner. I say this because while Huff is the starter at SS, Griffin has gotten many more snaps at SS so far this season - which indicates to me that the coaches are pushing to get Griffin more experience for the future (much like they did with Vasher in 2000, 2001). Also, we've got a fine tradition of starting careers at Safety, in preparation for a later career move to Corner (see Jammer and Vasher). Regardless, I would hope that Vasher sits out this game.
Our DT Tubbs was reported as having a concussion and is listed as questionable as well. If he can't go on Saturday, then highly touted Freshman Rodrique Wright will fill in and there shouldn't be much of a drop-off there. Dibbles should also see some action this weekend. So to answer your question, no this doesn't stir the pot for our team. We had some good players get banged up in the UNC game and since we're so deep as those positions, you'll see a lot of talented Freshmen filling in for the UH game.
Hope that helps and have fun at the game!

get that dunce cap ready felonious. yes it is true that we looked like crap against La La, but we are notorious for playing to the level of our competition. I agree our offense will probably only score one touchdown but throw in a couple fg's a defensive TD and 20 points is more than enough to win this game. suggs and jones will be seeing 8 or sometimes 9 men in the box. this is randalls first road test as a starter and he will be rattled by 90,000 screaming ags. you cant prepare anyone for that. I dont like all the smack we have been talking to Jones and Suggs but hopefully the Wrecking Crew can back it up and i think we will. ags win 20-13.
I cant wait to see yall lose to OU again in a few weeks. Stoops will outcoach mack again and simms wont know what to do as always. the funny part is yall will be favored again and will lose again.

I'm treating the UT/Florida game the same way I treated last night/s AU/MSU...bet on UT and pull for Florida so there's no way I can lose. Florida wins, I can rub it in to my UT friends. UT wins, I get paid and can live with misery of knowing they are the victors
Look at Nevada & Miami(OH). Also kind of like Vandy +21 & So Carolina -14.5.
Good luck and nice site.

txags,
LOL! Typical ag fan. Since your team can't beat us, you can only cheer for another team to do it. Here's one for you: try beating the mighty Red Raiders some time in this decade. Also, try not to squeak by Baylor this year. Until then, you guys will be known as the team with the good defense that craps out in the 4th quarter because of an inept offense.
How can you beat your chest when you need 10 turnovers to beat a hapless ULALA team by 24 in Pyle? You beat a below average team in Pitt by 2 due to inept extra point kicking. Where do you deserve respect?
Begging for validation from your most hated rival is thoroughly sickening. Actually, begging for validation, period, is disgusting. Just shut up and pull for your team. If they do well, the validation crap will take care of itself.
If you want sunshine blown up your ass about the merits of your team, I suggest you go hang out at the aggie boards.
Go Hokies!

wow that was unexpected. i have admitted that the aggies are not that good this year and have the worst offonse I have ever seen from a top 20 team. we just always find a way to win games like this when we are at home. Yes congratulations UT is better than us this year and for the past few years they have beenand will probably be for the next few years. It goes in cycles felonious and five years from now we will be better than yall and it will all start over again. stop flapping your gums. I guess my comments about OU really got to you. Im sorry you are so sensitive. take the under in our game against VT if you want some easy money. good luck with your Va Tech bet.
tx-ag.....it goes in cycles????
what???
8-3, 7-4, 6-5, 8-3, 7-4 6-5????? Is this what you are talking about?
FWIW you struck a nerve with Monk when you mentioned OU in his thread......lol

I'm a UCLA fan

Not to be nasty, but I wish UT was on the schedule, UCLA hasn't been able to score 60 points against anyone recently and it would be nice to see again.
