another great week of picks from youknowwho.
LSU at Florida: My prediction is that this game will be indefinitely postponed
Auburn (-3) I believe in Auburn's kicking game.
Texas A&M (-6.5) I feel like Butch is a bad gameday coach
Kentucky (-3) when I went back to recheck my picks, I couldn't remember who Kentucky was favored over. I looked this game up and Vanderbilt's quarterback only has one eye, which is awesome.
Alabama (-13.5) there is nothing I feel more confident betting on than I do that Alabama will cover, and I will never not feel this way until they rehire one of the Mikes. I would be more likely to pick Arkansas to win straight up than to cover but not win.
South Carolina (+7) but not winning! I have very little faith in UGA but less in South Carolina, so this splits the difference. This will be an ugly game played in a dadgum hurricane. Hardest pick of the week for this guy.

3E Certified Villain Alvin Holmes makes a stupid appearance.

Of course, it failed.

Arguably the stupidest thing written after the BCS title game
Charles Hollis, "Hot Corner: Here is some recruiting advice for Oregon's Chip Kelly:"
Second, his advice to the coach at Oregon is just "recruit better"? That's like telling someone trying out for the NBA to "just be taller." The best team in the Pacific Northwest is rarely (never?) going to be more talented than the best team in the South. That's just the way it is, with population and team history and such.
Additionally, while it's always nice to have better players, I don't think talent is Oregon's problem. They did play just about even with the best offensive and defensive players in America, and their starting running back is the nation's leading rusher and 2010 Heisman third-placer. Since 2007, Oregon has had three recruiting classes in the top twenty. They're not the most talented team in the country, but Oregon has some NFL talent. And you know what? If it were just about talent then Texas would have been playing Florida for the national title.
Third, Oregon did better on defense than the average SEC team did in handling the Auburn offense, one of the best in conference history. A lot of that has to do with having so much time to prepare, the poor field, Newton getting banged up, etc etc. You know what it didn't have anything to do with? Trick plays! Statistically, Oregon's defense played better than most SEC teams against Auburn. Only Mississippi State held Auburn to fewer points, and that was early in the season before Auburn really got going.
Oregon was so close to beating Auburn in the BCS National Championship Game, so whatever the Ducks are doing is working just fine. But don't expect them to play for a national title again any time soon. Just too much trick football.First, two out of those three fake plays worked, which Hollis actually recognizes. I don't think Les Miles has had much trouble with the trick plays this year, and he's doing alright, without retards accusing him of using too many trick plays and not relying just on talent to win. And doesn't Gus Malzahn have a bit of a reputation for trickery and misdirection?
Take your pick from Monday's game: Fake extra-point conversion, the reverse (or fake reverses) on back-to-back kickoff returns, or the crazy fake punt they converted into a first down.
What they need are fewer tricks and more big, fast defensive linemen, big and physical offensive linemen, and a couple of fast wide receivers wouldn't hurt.

Seriously people
So I see that Fast and Furious made over 70 million dollars last weekend, plus God knows how much internationally. This apparently was the best April opening ever.
Okay, listen. They already made this movie, and it was pretty bad, plus they made two others. You have seen Vin Diesel drive a fast ugly car before, and if you haven't, watch TNT any two consecutive weekends. The only excuse for this is that 10 million people got drink on their way to the theater in the last four days.
