Batting .500

If betting on football were hitting in baseball, I would say I had a successful weekend with the parlay cards. I had the perfect double header going. 5 team parlay on Saturday, and a combo card 1 college game combined with 4 can't miss NFL games.

We all know how Saturday went, and I didn't even pick any of the top ten teams. My can't miss NFL games, well 3 of the 4 missed.

Shoulda went to Vegas and bet it all on black.

Rock Bottom

I think I've hit rock bottom. I have no picks for this week. How sad is that? I've paid so little attention to college football that I have no picks. Granted, I probably know more than your average American, or even you average fan, but this is unacceptable.

Only thing I can give you is double digit home dogs in conference games. They always seem to come up winners.

Tired of Hawaii yet?

Poke. Ever heard of it? No, click the link for wikipedia's definition.

On the mainland as we call it,( at least that's what we Hawaiian's call it) poke usually comes in one variety, Ahi Tuna. Here on the islands, we have poke in many different varieties. Check the attached pics, and hit the link for a couple more.

I also hit the local Costco this morning where they had every possible variety of macadamia nuts and a refrigerator case with 6 different types of fresh poke, including King Crab Poke!!!!

I need to head down to the bar, so check the pictures and the links for more shizzle.

Who knew one was just the same as an army?

What a debacle last week. It started out so well, games were rolling in left and right, and then all hell broke loose. Losing both 2 unit games hurt, but I got some satisfaction in the fact that they both loss. A wise man once told me, "If the son-a-bitch team ain't gonna bother covering, then I want to see them lose."

I've been spending more time looking for a couch and a bed, than looking at football, so that could explain me overrating GT and Louisville, or it could be I did the picks after two 12 oz Jack and water and I was rushing to get to a bar, or a little green man told me who to pick. On to the games.

OU at Tulsa: OU -23, 2 units - need to pay for Oct. 6 somehow.

Clemson at NC State: Clemson -7.5, 1 unit - Could baby Bowden be for real?

Syracuse at Louisville: Cuse +37, 1 unit - let's seem them screw me twice

Illinois at Indiana: Big Chief -2.5, 1 unit - The Juice is Loose! Williams that is.

South Carolina at LSU: LSU -18, 1 unit - Ol' Ball coach is in for whooping

Georgia at Bama: Bama -3.5, 1 unit - Looks like Saban knows college football

Iowa at Wisconsin: Wisconsin -7.5, 2 units - PJ Hill's final line, 200 rushing and 4 TD

Last Week: 5-5
Overall: 11-10
2 unit games: 3-2
YTD: +2 units

They are not going to ask you to play

Went to the Tour Championship today. Had a good time, but here is one thing that just makes me wonder what people are thinking. I saw spectators, marshals, and tournament officials all wearing golf shoes. I've been to a few golf tournaments over the years and have seen this at all of them. What are these people thinking, "Someone might drop out and they are going to ask me to fill in?" I just want to go up to them and tell them that there s no way they are going to get to play today. At least I know which idiots to avoid.

Aloha!

Greetings from beautiful Hawai'i. The pictures on the right is the view from my hotel room.

No Little Green Men, Yet

I like my job, I get to write memos about an army of little green men. Turns out if you testify that an army of little green men helped you and your accomplice, you are probably not credible as a matter of law.

Last week was rough. Going to go after more games this week. We know more about the teams now, but last year is still affecting the lines.

Iowa at Iowa St.: ISU +17.5, 1 unit - Double digit home dog in a rivalry game.

Texas Tech at Rice: TT-28.5, 1 unit - Baylor killed Rice with a TT lite offense

Tenn at Florida: Florida -7.5, 1 unit - I think Urban Myer is just playing playstation.

Pitt at Michigan St.: MSU -8.5, 1 unit - Pitt is banged up and MSU is the best team in the state of Michigan.

Ohio St. at Washington: OSU -4, 1 unit - OSU offense finally gets rolling and their D is just sick.

UCLA at Utah: UCLA -15.5, 1 unit - Utah has a backup QB starting.

Louisville at Kentucky: Louisville -5.5, 2 units - UL has a candidate, Kentucky don't.

BC at GT: GT -6.5, 2units - GT D might actually get charged with aggravated assault after this game.

New Mexico at Arizona: AU -10, 1 unit - Like that Arizona D.

San Jose St. at Stanford: Stanford -7.5, 1 unit - Time for Jim to make a statement.

Last Week: 2-4
Overall: 6-5
2 unit games: 3-0
YTD: +4 units

Strictly Business

Last week went well even though TCU was not asleep at the wheel. Lots of games to watch this weekend and lots of beer to drink, so let's get to the picks.

Nebraska at Wake: Nebraska -8.5, 1 unit. I would have made this a 2 unit game, but Nebraska has USC coming to dinner next week. I don't know if Wake knows, but they are in the beginning of a rebuilding decade.

Akron at Ohio St.: Ohio St. -29, 1 unit. Ohio needs to beat up on Akron for recruiting dominance in the state of Ohio.

Miami at OU: OU -11, 1 unit. I know it is wrong to root for people to get hurt, but some part of me just wants to see a tornado rip through the stadium. What we will see is OU rip through Miami. This is what is known as a business decision, and money can buy a lot of hate fuel (beer at the fair).

Bama at Vandy: Bama -3.5, 2 units. I'm going to a B-B-Q to watch this game and this is a must win for Saban if he doesn't want to be fired before next week.

Boise St. at Washington: BSU -3, 1 unit. Ty is still a year away, and BSU has some kid named Ian Johnson that is so tough he tells people that he knits.

BYU at UCLA: Over 47, 1 unit. UCLA is looks good for 35, and BYU should get at least 14.

Overall record: 4-1
2 unit games: 2-0
YTD: +5 units

Government Work

Today was my official first day at my new job. So nice of them to give me the day off. Keep paying those taxes because golf is expensive.
