THURSDAY NIGHT BAMA BOY PICK: LSU

I will make the rest of my picks Friday evening after I have done some more research on a few of these games. I am really fascinated by the Tennessee Vs. Florida game. This game is being played in The Swamp which is a very intimidating place for a visiting team to play. The line looks a little high to me since Florida is favored by -9.5 points! Hopefully this great SEC Eastern Division Rivalry will regain the prestige it once had and this will be an entertaining game to watch.

OTHER WEEK 3 Observations:

-Texas Vs. UCLA (Will this game be the first of many games between Texas and UCLA if Texas goes to the PAC 12?)
-Michigan State Vs. Notre Dame (Will Notre Dame actually show up this week? If they win will they automatically be ranked in the Top 10?)
-Ohio State Vs. Miami (Lots of Miami players will be sitting on the bench due to NCAA eligibility issues) Someone tell Nevin Shapiro not to drop the soap!
-Oklahoma Vs. FSU (Will FSU get steamrolled by the Boomer Sooners again this year?)
-Utah Vs. BYU (After 2 major road games will BYU have enough gas in the tank to defeat their in-State rival in the Holy War?)

Not understanding your logic, Bama.

You claimed that Toledo came close to knocking off Ohio State since the Buckeyes are a crappy team this year due to Tressel leaving and the NCAA sanctions.

But then you picked Ohio State to beat Miami.

WTF?

I watched part of the Toledo/OSU game last week and Toledo has a good solid team.

I thought you would call me out on this one! I am choosing Ohio State because Miami has a lot of starters who are benched due to unresolved eligibility issues. I think Miami has a better QB so this pick could bite me in the ass.

Ohio State is a good team but I think with Tressell and Terrell Pryor they would have been a great team this year. There is a lot of turmoil at Ohio State right now but there is even more at Miami.

You know you are going to catch hell from me if Boise beats Toledo by 20 points right? I am just giving you a friendly warning..Boise has to win big every week against un-ranked opponents especially on a Friday night!
 






A "good and solid," team like Toldeo should not get beaten by 25 points! There is a reason Toledo is not a Top 25 Team. Toledo is not a really tough opponent for Boise State in the regular season. If Toldeo held Boise to 7 or less points then I would say this was a challenging game for Boise. I knew Boise would blow them out. I hope you have some better picks tomorrow....

The ESPN announcers had great respect for the Toledo team tonight. Boise just has a powerhouse team. I underestimated them. If Boise played Ohio State it would have been a blowout too. Same with Alabama. Kellen Moore is hell on wheels. He threw for 455 yards tonight and beat a DAMN GOOD TEAM by 25 points. The game was not a reflection of a lousy Toledo team. The game was a reflection of an awesome Boise team. Toledo would beat 75% of the teams in the SEC.

Ohio State gets beat tomorrow. I'll be sure to come on line and remind you after the fact. :D

No disrespect to Boise. They came out and did what I knew they were going to do. They played well on the road and playing that far away from home is tough. Like Bama playing Penn State on the road last week. I would really like to see Boise match up against Alabama or LSU. LSU's defense is the best in the country. I really think LSU is the best team in the SEC if not the whole country.

I really think my Ohio State pick is going to bite me in the ass. Ohio State is my going against the grain pick for the week. It's fun to make one pick that is opposite of what everyone else is picking.
 






Toledo could beat 75% of the teams in the SEC? I can't believe BamaBoy let you get away with that one.

Yeah Bronco Boy Toledo beating 75% of teams in the SEC is a bit of a stretch. You need to put down that Bronco blue Papa Smurf Pipe.. I thought you said Boise State could beat 75% of teams in the SEC. I would agree to that. I just don't see Toldeo beating the listed teams:

Toledo Would Not Beat:

1. LSU
2. Bama
3. Arkansas
4. Miss State
5. Florida
6. South Carolina
7. Tennessee
8. Georgia
9. Auburn

Toledo Could Beat:
1. Vandy
2. Ole Miss
3. Kentucky

Thanks for catching that Fucktard! Your Gators are looking much improved over last year. It's going to be a very tough game for Bama when they play in the swamp.

I was torn today on whether I hate the ACC as much as I hate Auburn, and I decided, no, I am thrilled that Clemson knocked Auburn off. I did not see that one coming.

Also happy to see the Semenholes lose to Oklahoma.

Shocker of the day? Notre Dame beating Mich St.
