I mean, look at that Final Four graphic. It’s a thing of beauty, and more importantly, a breath of fresh air. This is the positive side of the NIL-transfer portal era of college football. Until the blue bloods with all the money in the world figure out how to rig the system in their favor, there is plenty of room for parity. There’s a reason I mentioned last week that I don’t have a clear cut favorite. This is exactly why. How much shit do you think anyone would have gotten i

Holy shit what has it been, 84 years since the first round of the playoffs? There’s no way for the NCAA to slide this round in sooner so that way the New Years Day games are the semi-finals?  It’s all about perspective I guess. The longer it takes for the games to be played just means there is more time with our beloved sport before it’s over for 7 months. This round in particular came out pretty deece. Sure, were the ‘ anti-Tulane and JMU’s ’ of the world spouting ‘ I told y

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. What we have been building toward all season. The college football playoff. There’s been a lot of discourse about this year's bracket. With JMU and Tulane gaining seats to the dance, and teams like Notre Dame and Texas being on the outside looking in. My take is this. Anyone who truly loves the sport of college football, not football, college football, is totally welcoming of programs outside major conferences who deserve a shot at co

150 volumes of this rag? How bout it. Also hilarious thinking back to 2016 when I started this thing that I even thought of the volume system. Don’t get me wrong, it works. But I think the lower-case v with a period as a separator to the number was more of a stylistic choice back then compared to actually considering how volume is used in the literary community.  Conference Championship week. It doesn’t have the same buzz as it once did. The playoff basically kills off the tr

Rivalry Week. Plenty of chaos already hitting the papers. No, not the chaos of your drunk uncle doing his best Shane Gillis impression of a President Trump impression of his most recent tweet at Thanksgiving , but chaos in the college football landscape. Lane Kiffin watch remains in effect, even after a convincing victory in the Egg Bowl yesterday. Texas A&M finally goes down, giving paths for Georgia and Ole Miss entry into the SEC title game. The ACC has a bajillion options

Turns out your gut speaks to you this time of year. We’re approaching some of the best eating seasons, of course it wants you in the win column. How else are you affording that smoked turkey and honey baked ham?  With the penultimate week of college football upon us, I want to be clear in my intentions for today’s lack-luster slate. We need more. If year one of the 12-team playoff taught me anything, it’s that I want to hammer each and every game this post-season. And the onl

Welp. Whodathunk it. I Tommy Boy’d my 60%.  Really got nothing else to say about it, hand up, I’m colder than the Sahara in a couple hundred years after the magnetic poles shift. Didn’t hear about that? Don’t worry about it.  I was debating whether or not to just rip the coin flip week and get it over with. But, I guess since you fucks are only here at this point to 1. Watch me suffer or 2. Fade my picks, I should probably wait one more Saturday before indulging fate.  I’m no

Me after reading all of my DM’s following last week’s 1-4 performance..  I understand this is all part of the gig. I can take the criticism. No problem. What I don’t understand is you bums acting like I haven’t kept your wallets in a place of comfort. I’m a securities firm you fools. 40-26 on the year. 61%. Do we have a problem here? I know when to put my hand up, I haven’t been seeing the board right. But let’s not get desperate here. No reason to bring out the coin flip jus

Well that wasn’t pleasant. At least we can say we made it to Week 9 before getting skull fucked. I blame getting my wisdom teeth out. I lacked wisdom. I may never be wise again. We’ll find out this week. Before we get to this week though, we need to talk about the current state of broadcasting options for consumers. This whole YouTube TV/ESPN (Disney) thing is an outrage. It’s a scandal. There are a few things here that really grind my gears.  The internet has singlehandedly

I told you there was something in the air last week. What do you want me to do about the Clemson wave? It crashed an hour before kickoff when Cade Klubnik was ruled a no-go out of nowhere. What do you want me to do about the best color game in sports over? God said ‘ rain during the most important play of the game for the over ’, and our luck went about 20 yards left of the goalpost. When something is in the air, there is seemingly nothing you can do. What do you want me to d

Now THIS is spooky season. There is something in the air of late. It could be my farts, but it could also just be the chaos that is college football. Time to make a list. James Franklin, smell my farts Oregon loses to Indiana Oklahoma rushed back John Mateer  Cignetti extension Bill Belichick has a really cool website made by his 24 year old graphic designer Matt Rhule did his best James Franklin impression the minute he was rumored to be the next head coach in Happy Valley

Anyone that has issues with last week's 3-5 record can always submit feedback to our complaint department.  Some of you degenerates really have no self-awareness. Blasting me for a losing week in an all time winning season to date, and basically admitting that you can’t read. Yeah, that’s right ya hillbillies, ya can’t read. Do yourself a favor, if you can even read this, and go back to last week’s newsletter for the Clemson breakdown. I basically told you to put your blanke
