i don't want make you mad, i don't want to meet your dad, i don't wanna be your dream come true

Hey everybody. Welcome to Sports Friday, which comes to you again after another week of non-sports posting.

Last week was tough for the picks. This week is the one that's going to determine my fate for the season, with a whopping 18 games being pickeed. I looked at the lines this morning and kept finding myself writing down games.

And, yes, because i hate myself, both teams i can never get right, Texas Tech and Notre Dame, appear this week.

If you consider playing any of these games, please look at my overall record then just pay a homeless guy $100 to kick you in the crotch. It'll be more productive. (in other words, don't do it! exclamation point)

*****

Don't really have a whole lot of analysis from the Tennessee game. LSU got jobbed on yet another bogus replay call on the road and Keiland Williams finally got quality playing time when it matters. Hopefully that was just the first game of several where he is the primary back.

JaMarcus Russell made the types of plays his detractors have complained about and the types of plays that make it obvious (to me at least) that he is easily the best quarterback on the team.

There were a couple of questionable play calls by LSU on the offensive side of the ball, but overall i was happy with the gameplan. I was a little worried early since they used the same formation frequently that landed them a whopping three points against auburn.
