weekend recap

- I went 4-1 on my picks moving me to 7-3 on the season. Since no one has sent me a thank you email I'm assuming none of you have been betting. Listen to me, go to Sportsbook.com deposit around $160, put $20 bucks on every game I pick and nothing else. You'd be up $76 after two weeks. If you do signup remember to tell them that beefcakejcc referred you.

- Without looking at the schedule there are two games I'm really interested in this week. bama @ South Carolina, and the Vols heading down to the Swamp. bama has put together a few wins against bad competition and I'm not sure what to make of them. Spurrier squeaks by UCF at home and then heads to Athens to push uga to the limit. I have no idea how this is going to play out. Remember that South Carolina won in Tuscaloosa last year. As for Florida their offense has looked anemic against vastly inferior teams. Meyer looks incapable of adapting his scheme to his talent. Chris Leak is good and Urban just may well ruin his last two years. That being said, they are at home and this is the first time we get to see the spread option against a big league defense. Tennessee has issues of their own. They are down to their third string center and I have a feeling that lead to the lack of offensive output against UAB. But the kids had at least three weeks of practice now. I'm told that the Vol defense is good but they didn't show that to me in either game against Auburn last year. So once again I have no clue how that game is going to turn out.

- woke up at 7am to go to the Auburn game which started at 12:30. Pretty boring game. Have two weeks to prepare for South Carolina @ home. Came home and watched as much football over 24 hours as possible. I'm pretty sure I'm happiest when I have two tv's set up in my living room with football on both. Plus I watched the Braves game (awesome comback in the 10th) and US Open (Agassi was awesome for about a one hour stretch). Just good times all around.

- Congrats to the Longhorns on a huge win. I hope they are able to stay focused on a boring schedule.

- Everything I've heard about Ohio St.'s receivers and linebackers all summer was completely true. It's a shame they don't have a quarterback.

- It is very important that everyone in the Atlanta are catch Connor Rand & the Red Dirt Band's cd release party at Smith's Olde Bar on Thursday night. There will be two opening acts with Connor hitting hte stage around 11pm. You can check out their myspace page and listen to samples here.
