Picks for this week! 10/18/03

[orangecrush]

5* Florida State (-7) gets back on track this weekend. O-line is hurt and will throw a lot of screens and rollouts. Virginia will have trouble with the mix.

4* Rutgers (+16) Pitt is struggling and Rutgers are 6-0 ATS. Rutgers get the back door cover just like they have the past few weeks.

4* Mich St (+6) How many weeks in a row am I going to play them? Until Jeff Smoker's FIRE goes out! He has this offense clicking and this team builds confidence every week. Minnesota gets beat straight up against the better Michigan team.

3* Utah (-2) The Utes are also 6-0 ATS and I will go with them until Vegas catches on. Utah has proven there self on the road with a win at Colorado State and a nail biter to Texas A&M. Utah looks to go 3-0 in conference play. UNLV is a inconsistent team and will have trouble matching up with the Utes.

2* Wash St (-10) This Cougar team should pounce on this young Stanford team. Wash St is a little banged up and would play this for more, but do not know the TRUE status of Wash St QB Matt Kegel. Even if they have to resort to the ground I believe they will still cover rather easily.

2* Marshall (-29) I should not have to say anything except that they are playing Buffalo!


Good Luck to Everyone!

CFB YTD

5* 2-1 (+4.5)

Like the card. Florida State should roll.

No Sooners?

I thought you might ride the Sooners for a 3rd week. Do you not think they can cover against Mizzou? Just curious.

[scooner]

Crush, like the picks.

Sportstar, the word from Norman is that the Stoops brothers are pissed about what Brad Smith did to them last year. This year thet shut him down at home. Jason White will pick apart the Mizzu D-backs. Oklahoma 48 Mizz 10.

Man I sure do take a lot of shit from you on my Oklahoma picks.
If you are wanting to know for an action pick"Where you are watching the game and having your old lady bring you beers" then take OU and lay the 26. Good luck! Hey how did your office pool pick turn out last week?

Sorry Bugs!

They go down this week! It is Homecoming and there will be a ton of Orange. The players and fans are extremely excited. I could feel the electric last week at Boone Picken Stadium. I think we win this by 10. TTech D is not that good and I expect our D to hold TTech to less than 40 points.

MAN, I'LL HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU ON THIS. WHAT DOES OSU HAVE THIS YEAR THAT OTHER TEAMS TECH HAS PLAYED DOESNT? OSU'S D IS OVERRATED BECAUSE OF THE SOFT SCHEDULE THEY HAVE PLAYED, IN FACT IT SHOULD BE BETTER. THEY BEAT AN OVERRATED TEAM LIKE KSTATE, WHO LOST AT HOME TO MARSHALL, AND THAT MAKES OSU A "TEAM TO BEAT"? SORRY DONT BUY IT. THEY ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVE LEARNED HOW TO STOP THE TECH "O"? DONT BUY THAT EITHER. MANY TEAMS HAVE TRIED TO DO WHAT OSU WILL DO TOMMORROW. RUN AND KEEP THE TECH O OFF THE FIELD. BUT WHAT PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND IS THAT TECH SCORES IN ABOUT 2.5 MIN ON THE AVERAGE. THE ONLY WAY OSU WINS IS IF TECH TURNS THE BALL OVER. IF TECH HAS 1 OR FEWER TO'S, THEN TECH WILL WIN THIS IN A BIG WAY.

FROM THE OLE MISS DC ON OUR "O" AGAINST A&M: "I WATCHED THAT GAME AND GOT THE SHAKES ALL OVER AGAIN"

Bugs

Should be a good one! You know I have to be a homer and say my team is going to win!

I will tell you that I am scared that our fans are looking past this game and talking about playing OU with one loss come Nov 1. People need to realize how big this game is! This game scares me more than Texas!

This is the last year we have to worry about that "O" anyway, Leach will be in Arizona or Florida this time next year!

Hey and how can you be a TTech fan if you are from Oklahoma?

I will be watching this game from Lake Texoma after a good morning of fishing!

Good Luck this weekend BUGS!

ORANGE...

I THINK IT WILL BE A GOOD GAME, TOO. BUT, MY HONEST CONCLUSION IS THAT TECH WILL LOSE IF THEY TURN THE BALL OVER! THEY HAD 4 AGAINST ISU, THAT WONT CUT IT IN THIS GAME. THEY CAN ONLY HAVE 1 OR FEWER IN THIS GAME TO WIN. THEY HAD 4 OR 5 AGAINST OLE MISS AND STILL CAME BACK TO WIN ON THE ROAD. THEN THE NEXT WEEK AGAINST A&M HAD 0 TO'S, AND YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT GAME. 2 LATE SCORES FOR A&M WHEN THE GAME WAS 52-14. MARK MY WORDS, A 0 TO' GAME FOR TECH AND THEY WIN IN A BLOW OUT ON THE ROAD! 1 TO AND I THINK THEY WIN BY 14. MORE THAN THAT, IS ANYBODYS GUESS, BUT PROBABLY A LOSS.:angryfire

I AM A TECH FAN BECAUSE I GREW UP AND WENT TO H.S IN AMARILLO, MY SISTER WENT TO TECH AND I WATCHED THE GAME WHEN MIAMI CAME TO TOWN WITH ERICKSON AS THE COACH AND WATCHED MIAMI BLOWOUT TECH 44-0. PLUS, I HAD THE PLEASURE OF HANGING OUT WITH SOME TECH GIRLS WHEN I WAS IN H.S!:D FROM THAT MOMENT ON, I BECOAME A TECH FAN. MAN THEY HAVE GREAT LOOKING WOMEN AT THAT SCHOOL!

I WENT TO COLLEGE AND PLAYED BASEBALL AT A LOCAL OKC NAIA SCHOOL AND LIVED HERE EVER SINCE. I GOT TO OKLAHOMA CITY IN '94 AND HAVENT LEFT YET. MY FAMILY MOVED UP TO CHICAGO IN '97 AND I'M THINKING OF MOVING UP TO AROUND THAT AREA IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. MAYBE LIKE ST. LOUIS OR INDY OR SOMEPLACE LIKE THAT.

SORRY FOR THE LONG RESPONSE AND DIDNT MEAN TO TELL YOU MY LIFE STORY, BUT YOU ASKED AND I GOT CARRIED AWAY!

Office Pool

I went down in my office pool. I went with Tdickson and managed to pick the only game he's lost (lately) . FRESNO STINKIN ST. Some luck I have!

May have better luck this week with Wisconsin.
