Weekly Predictions 10/13/07

So last week I did pretty well picking. USC won and Clemson lost. I was off on the Florida upset, but my week 6 record was 7-2. (I also missed on the Tenn beatdown of Georgia. Anyway, it is a new week, and I'll be featuring one game this week since our other local team is licking their "special"(team) wounds. USC v UNC I'll call this one the " Battle of the Carolinas ". Tarheels (2-4) Carolina North type is coming off a pretty big win over Miami. Butch Davis is laying the seeds of success at UNC, that is for sure. The only thing is that wasn't your daddy's Miami, a program who is in the same shape as Florida State; a mere shadow of its once prominent self. Anyway, the offense is run by redshirt freshman quarterback T.J. Yates. Right now he is completing 63% of his passes (100-163). He has thrown 9 TDs on 231 yards per game on average, but has also had 8 INTs. His leading receiver is Hakeem Nicks, who has hauled in 31 balls for 413 yards and three to...

Picks for the Week (10/6/07)

I'll keep this one pretty short, two games. This week I'll focus on the USC vs. Kentucky and Clemson vs. Virginia Tech matchups. I'll start with: USC v. Kentucky Wildcats Kentucky has a high powered offense, led by dark horse Heisman hopeful Andre Woodson. Woodson receives help from running back (and former TL Hanna standout) Raphael Little, receivers Keenan Burton and Dicky Lyons Jr., and tight end Jacob Tamme. The offense is averaging nearly 50 points per game (46.6) on 492 yards per game. Clearly a very high powered offense. On the year, Woodson has been stellar so far. He has gone 112-167 for 16 touchdowns, while only throwing 1, count it, 1 interception. Burton, Lyons, and Tamme have combined for 847 yards and 9 touchdowns. One man to watch is Steven Johnson, who has 4 TDs on the year so far. The defense gives up 22 points per game on 384 yards per game, which shows they allow a lot of yards, but not a lot of points; a bend but don't break defense. One thing to not...

The first Post

Hey guys, It is the first post ever on my improving blog. I should have this site up and fully finished no later than next month. Anyway, I'll give you guys the basic lowdown of this thing. This site will contain my opinions on a variety of topics. Reviews of movies and music for one. Also will talk about sports, I'll give my predictions on games, and you can tell me why I'm right or wrong. I'll also use this to post random thoughts and rants on issues, and I may even divulge into some politics if my stomach can handle it. Also, feel free to send me mail on topics you would like for me to write on. A certain game you want me to predict, a new band, or a movie. Also send hate mail if you disagree with me.
