The Beeze's College Football Pick'em (week 6)

While the Cheerleaders looked okay, the Georgia Bulldogs fell flat on their face against Alabama last week...Typical of a Mark Richt team...Can they bounce back?  Let's see....



- Georgia at Tennessee....

The Volunteers are 4-12 over the last few years hosting SEC rivals...Georgia has won the 5 straight against Tennessee...And that streak will go to 6...Now that there is no pressure, the Bulldogs will get back on track and roll Tennessee...Take Georgia minus the 3 points...




- Washington at USC  (Thursday night)....

Seriously, I have no faith that the Huskies will win this game...But they are getting 17 points...I like +17 points in this game...Take the Huskies with the points as they hang with the Trojans for awhile...

- Oklahoma at Texas  (Dallas)....

Let's be honest...I don't care how big the rivalry crap is...Texas stinks...The program is in shambles...Take the Sooners minus the 17 points...They're going to take the Longhorns apart...(Texas should be getting use to that)



- Miami (Ohio) at Ohio University....

"The Battle of the Bricks"...Homecoming at Ohio....Miami has lost 4 straight in Athens...The Bobcats have won 8 of the last 9 meetings...I like Ohio to win again...But, I'll take Miami plus the 16 points...




- Georgia Tech at Clemson....

the Home team has 9 of the last 10 meetings...GT is 8-4 in the last 11 meetings...They played twice in 2009...Will Clemson have a letdown after the big win against Notre Dame?  Will their defense be able to handle the Yellowjackets offense?  The bookmakers think so, since they have Clemson as a 7 point favorite...I think they will win, but I'll take Georgia Tech plus the 7 points...



-Navy at Notre Dame...

Notre Dame leads this series 75-12-1...They've split the last 4 meetings...Navy never quits, and plays tough...They always make the Irish earn it...They will again...But I see the Irish getting back on track after last week's loss...Take ND minus the 14 points...

- Northwestern at Michigan...

Northwestern is 1-21 in Ann Arbor...That is horrible...just horrible...How could I even consider picking them...Easily...Michigan beat up on Maryland last week...Let's not forget, this isn't lacrosse...Bowling Green spanked Maryland...Northwestern will give Michigan a tough fight and may take it...Take Northwestern plus the 7.5 points...




- East Carolina at BYU...

This is ECU's longest regular season road trip since 1993...BYU is 19-5 versus current AAC teams...That includes being 9-0 at home against those teams...Tough to go against that....I'll take East Carolina plus the 8 points...

- Miami at Florida State...

The last 9 meetings, the visitor is 7-2...11 of the last 14 games have been decided by a TD or less...All that, combined with me having all the confidence that Everett Golson is due for one of his turnover filled games...Take Miami plus the 9 points...

- Cal at Utah....

I have no stats or facts here...I just don't care...I have bought all in with the Utah Utes...Take Utah minus the 7 points...


Good luck...Beat the bookie!

The Beeze's College Football Pick'em (week 4)

Last week I won 3...lost 1...and 1 push...

Let's see what we do this week...


- BYU at Michigan....

Okay, Michigan who isn't overly impressive, while the home team, is a 6.5 point favorite...I think that is crazy...I think BYU bounce back from their loss to UCLA last week...Take BYU plus the 6.5 points


- Georgia Tech at Duke...

Duke is 3-22 versus the Georgia Tech...It's not going to get better this week...GT is another team looking to bounce back from a tough loss...Take the Yellow Jackets minus the 7.5 points...



-Bowling Green at Purdue...

This week the Falcons are the favorite...It doesn't matter, I'm still taking them...Purdue blows...Bowling Green minus 5.5 points...



- Rice at Baylor....

Baylor has won 6 straight against Rice...And I feel confident that the Bears can take the Owls again...But Baylor doesn't understand what defense is...Take Rice plus the 34.5 points...

- Ohio University at Minnesota...

I don't even need to pull up any stats or history, or any of that bullshit...Minnesota ain't nothing to write home about...Ohio is a solid MAC team...Take the Bobcats plus the 10 points...

- Miss State at Auburn...

Auburn has proven that they walked into the season grossly overrated...yet they are a 3 point favorite....Miss State is 3-11 as a visitor...Can they turn it around? Yes...The Bulldogs will win straight up, but go ahead and take those 3 points too...



- UCLA at Arizon...

The visitor is 3-8...UCLA is 13-23 on the road in versus PAC-12 foes...But in the end it comes down to the better team...I'm going with UCLA minus 3 points.



-Utah at Oregon...

Utah is is 4-9 against ranked teams since joining the PAC-12...This one should be the game to watch...These teams will slug it out...the Utes are better then people expected, and Oregon is good, but not where they have been in past years...Take Utah plus the 12 points...

Good luck...

Beat the Bookie!

The Beeze's College Pick'em (week 3)

This week's pick'em is going to be shorter...There just aren't that many games I like...And you don't bet just to bet...You gotta be smart about it...Last week I was right on 75% of my games...I'm not going to throw a bunch a games out there for ya if I wouldn't bet them myself...We'll start this week with a tough one...


-Georgia Tech at Notre Dame....

GT walks into South Bend as 2.5-3 point favorite...They are only the favorite because of the loss of Irish starting QB, Malik Zaire...That said, with or without Zaire, this game was always going to hinge on how well the Irish defense plays against the pesky Tech offense...GT is 8-3 in road openers...The Irish have a commanding lead in this series, with a 27-6-1 record...The Yellow jackets will push Notre Dame...This game will come down to the wire...I think the Irish can pull it out...Take them getting the 3 points...



-Memphis at Bowling Green...

Yep, Bowling Green has become my go-to to team when looking at games to bet...The Falcons put up points...They can run with almost anyone...BGSU is 8-1 hosting non-conference teams since 2010...Memphis is a helluva team flying under most people's radar...They can rack up the points as well...But I think they may meet their match this week...Take the Falcons getting 3 points....



-Northern Illinois at Ohio State...

NIU is 5-4 versus Big Ten schools over the last six years...Ohio State is 19-0 against MAC schools since 2000, but they have had a number of issues covering the spread...NIU isn't Hawaii...They'll put up a fight...Take the Huskies plus the 35 points...



-BYU at UCLA...

These are two really good teams...And if we have learned anything over the first two weeks of the season, when it comes to BYU, throw all the analytics out the window...AND, and don't care who they are playing, there is no logical reason to have them as 16.5 point underdog...This game will be on TV at 10:30 (est)...Take BYU plus the 16.5 points and enjoy the hell out of the show these two teams put on...

-There are other big games...Ole Miss at Alabama...'Bama is a 7 point favorite...I just don't trust them yet, and I'm not sure what to think of Ole Miss yet...I'm leaving this game alone...

-Stanford at USC...The Trojans are a 10 point favorite...But these PAC-12 games some times turn into a slugfest...Stanford has a lot to prove...The Gambler in me would take USC, but right now, I'm leaving it alone...

-The last game I'll talk about...

Auburn at LSU...

LSU is 9-5 versus Auburn, and on a 7-0 stretch when hosting the Tigers...LSU is a 7 point favorite...I expect Auburn to come out with a lot of fire after nearly losing to Jacksoville State last week...Then there is the Les Miles factor...While he is a good coach, he has an incredible knack to make stupid mistakes/decision, that often fuck over the gambler or the bookie...I'll take Auburn getting the 7 points...

Good luck!

Monday Moaning

Well, it's Labor Day...Summer is officially over...I'm okay with that...I'm a Fall kind of guy to begin with, so the heat and humidity can fuck off very much please...

And what comes with Fall?  Football!  It was great watching the Fighting Irish beat the living shit out of Texas Saturday night 38-3...The Irish defense was pretty dominate...And the Offense, for the most part was able to do whatever they wanted...The O-Line pushed Texas around...Notre Dame picked up 214 yards on the ground, and almost all of that after starting running back Tarean Folston left the game after 3 carries in the first quarter with a torn MCL injury...3 carries, 19 yards, season over...That sucks!

C.J. Prosise, a RB turned WR, was turned back into RB, and put up 98 yards on 20 carries...Freshman Josh Adams added 2 TD's and 49 yards on 5 carries...Fellow Freshman, Dexter Williams picked up 24 yards on 7 carries late in the game...

Much of the talk around Notre Dame coming into this season has been hype about how they feel this is there best group of players, with the most depth...Well, the backfield depth will have to step up and prove that early now...

As for Texas, I thought they would be more competitive this year, but maybe not...The talking heads kept praising Texas QB, Tyrone Swoopes, and going on about his bright future...REALLY?  kid completed 7 out of 22 passes for 93 yards...I wasn't impressed...They may want to give the other kid a bit more of a look...

An impressive performance was my HEISMAN DARKHORSE, Irish QB, Malik Zaire who completed 19 of his 22 passes for 313 yards and 3 TD's...

Here's the whole game in under 3 minutes for ya...





Oh, and Texas...When you're getting your ass kicked 38-3, and the game has less than two minutes left...And you make a tackle on the 4th string running back...That's not the time you stand over the guy and taunt him...Coach Strong, you got a lot of work to do with those dolts!


- As for the rest of the College Football action, as usual the first week was filled with mostly big-time teams playing cream-puffs...But there were a couple good ones...Northwestern upset #21 Stanford...#2 TCU wasn't impressive at all against Minnesota...Washington gave #23 Boise State all they could handle...#25 Tennessee woke up in the second half after Bowling Green spent the first half exchanging punches with them...Everyone who has Bowling Green on their schedule better watch out...This team plays fast and hard...They have the speed to run with the so-called "SEC Speed"...

And for the weekend's biggest goose-bumps moment...BYU beating Nebraska 33-28 on a "Hail Mary"...






That's a play that will get ya right in the feels, as my son says!

-Kansas State Marching Band...Listen, I'm a big supporter of marching bands...Christ at out local high school games, people go to see the band,  not the football team...(the band could totally take the football team out!)  But Kansas State did you really think no one, especially the PC Police wouldn't catch this move?

They are trying to tell everyone that the cock and balls on the right are suppose to be the Starship Enterprise...It's clear that on the left is a rival Kansas Jayhawk...But really, Star Trek? That's no Enterprise....That's a prize about to enter the Jayhawks mouth!

Screw apologizing...You got caught...Admit that you were shitting....Or jizzing on your rival, and own it, you fucking pervs...It's college football, you're suppose to be dicks to your rival!


-As for life here...It's been crazy...The kids will finally start school Tuesday, as their building were under construction...And the wife is back...Last week, I was a single parent as my wife was in Houston doing training for her new job...Other then her having to make a couple trip there each year, it's going to be great for us...On the plus side, she brought me home a sweet Astros cap!


-One last thing...The judge made his ruling...We all Goodell an his ego are going to fight it...Whatever...I don't give a fuck...So, ESPN, FOX Sports, Bleacher Report, SI, and even us at the Gab...Can we please shut the fuck up and never hear or say the words "deflate-gate" again!?!


Have a week!

Monday Moaning

Yep...Monday comes running in like a boot to the head!

Seriously, when I saw this play, I laughed my ass off...This play, and well the play that followed pretty much some up the Cleveland Browns since 1999...




Now lets be honest...Brown could have easily cut left, and blown past Lanning, just as he did to ever other member or the Punt coverage team...But shit, what would make this highlight sweeter? Hurdling the damn punter...Dude had to go for it...But when he realized he wasn't going to clear Lanning, or Lanning wasn't getting out of the way...Fuck, time to move that punter...BOOT TO THE HEAD!  Not a Steelers fan...Not Browns fan...But damn I loved this play!

So, they moved it back because the refs felt the boot to the head was "unnecessary roughness"...Okay, give it to Bell now that we see the Browns can't quite tackle! It's so damn Cleveland, us Clevelanders can't be mad...You just gotta laugh!

And I don't care fellow Clevelanders...So what the Browns came back in the second half, and tied it up...Way to go! Then they fell for a fake punt deep in the Steelers end...Totally got burned...Right then they lost the momentum...And eventually they gave up a big drive, followed by an easy game winning field goal wit h no time left...Sorry, no moral victory...They did what they do best...They lost!

Up next for the Browns...A pissed off New Orleans Saints team that got beat by the Falcons...

Hey, anyone see what happened in College Football this past weekend? Texas got abused, at home, by BYU...I forget the score, but it was BYU: a lot, and Texas: hey when is Texas showing up?

Ohio State lost in prime-time , at home, to unranked Virginia Tech...Urban Meyer admitted afterwards that the Hokies exposed their weaknesses...Like, apparently they stopped recruiting QB's when Braxton Miller signed there, and their young offensive line needs a fuck-ton of practice...

Oregon was down to Michigan State...But then they flipped the NIKE switch, and blew the Spartans out of the water in the second half...

But the best game, in my opinion, was the final matchup (for the time being) between Notre Dame and Michigan...If there is one thing I have in common with Ohio State fans, it's a pure hatred for Michigan...Well, folks...The Irish ended this rivalry in fucking style...The beat the shit out of Michigan 31-0....31-0!




Awesome! There's nothing else to say....



No, seriously, I've got nothing else to say...

Oh, did I forget your weekly eye candy?

Here ya go...

Have a week...

The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

Now if you saw this at the Browns game, then you actually would have had a decent reason for all that wasted time and money...To steal from Ben Folds, Sunday the Browns opened their season at home against the Dolphins in "The Battle of who could care less." Although the Jets and Bucs seemed to have one of those going on too...

Living in Cleveland and being a sports fan sucks...You won't get the normal Cleveland whining from me though..."We're cursed"..."I'll never see a championship"..."Just one before I die"..."Art Modell and LeBron did this to us"..."Why did we trade ROCKY_COLAVITO?"...Fuck that...Grow up! 

The Browns suck because of years of bad management...The Expansion Browns were a rush job and everytime a new coach and/or GM come in, let alone owner, the process is started over again, because they all want to do it their way...Sundays in Cleveland were happier days when the Browns were gone...Clevelanders spent a lot less money on Sundays...Fans loyalty shifted solely to their fantasy players...Now you always have that one dope who;s gotta draft Browns...You go right ahead and draft Weeden and his 3 picks! Nothing like a second year QB who is a project, and he's about to turn 30...Just one of many problems that the Browns put on display Sunday...I will say the defense wasn't half bad...They shutdown the Dolphins ground game...Although that could be because the Dolphins don't have a ground game...

The Browns lost Sunday, and they looked bad doing it...I know Clevelanders hate this local boy for his negative views,  but since I gave up on being a loyal Cleveland sports fan, I've been a lot happier...Sunday I watched the whole Browns game...It was the first time I've watched a Browns game from start to finish in 2 years...I just wanted to see the direction this new coaching staff/GM/owner were going in...I wanted to see if there may be any progress...Looks like the same old shit...Maybe I'll see ya in another 2 years....Go Seahawks!

Sadly, Saturday evening sucked for us Notre Dame fans...The (#14) Irish fell to (#17) Michigan 41-30...So much for the Irish Defense being the unit to rely on...Not that the offense was stellar...One Irish TD came on a Stephon Tuitt interception in the end zone...

One point that needs to be made to coach Kelly and his offensive staff...Golson isn't there...Tommy Rees is your guy, but he can't throw on the run...So taking those fucking plays out of the game plan....Or play Hendrix who has a better arm, and can run, and can run and throw at the same time...Rees threw a INT late in the first half that was very costly...He was rolling left and attempted a throw he can't make...This is the shit that gets Rees in trouble...Coach, you want to stop screaming at the kid...Stop trying to get him to do shit he can't do...

I didn't expect the Irish to win this one...After week one, it seemed clear to me that Michigan was a better team...Then Kelly said stupid ass shit about how he didn't think Notre Dame vs. Michigan was that big of a rivalry...WTF! Where the fuck have you been...I've been to 4 ND/Michigan games...Shit is intense...By halftime I'm looking for a Michigan fan to skull fuck!  When he said that shit, I just knew it...Brady Hoke was gonna have his guys geared up...And look out Buckeyes...Hoke has got that program turned around...That Big-10 title isn't locked up yet...

There were other fans feeling low Saturday...(#15) Texas got fucking steam rolled by BYU, giving up 550 yards on the ground...The QB ran for 259...Hey Texas, the read option is here to stay...Time to get in some film study and tackling drills!

(#25) USC Trojans showed they don't deserve their ranking, losing at home to Washington State, 10-7...USC only scoring 7 points...Wow that is beautiful! The world's most overrated douchebag coach, Lane Kiffin looked clueless...As usual...He tried both his QB's because he just can't figure out which one sucks less...How many more chances is this dick-bag going to get...He fails and leaves programs in a mess, yet he keeps coming back...I hope USC keeps him for awhile so he can run that program into the ground for a long time...

(#12) Florida fell to Miami 21-16, turning the ball over 5 times...(#16) Oklahoma, like USC, grossly overrated, squeaked past West Virginia 16-7 in an ugly game...(#7) Texas A&M gave up 28 points and 240 rushing yards in their victory over Sam Houston State...Boy oh boy the rest of the SEC are going eat them up....

For the second game in a row, South Carolina star defensive end, Jadeveon Clowney didn't do much to live up to the Heisman hype that has been swirling around him...His (#6) Gamecocks fell to (#11) Georgia 41-30 in what was a must win for the Bulldogs after falling to Clemson last week...

In Beeze news, we're getting a puppy...The talk has gone on for awhile...I fought it for a few years...But the wife, and Molls broke me...We picked out a little fella when friend shad a litter recently...We've named him Finnegan...Finn for short...

 His got a little cleft lip, but it gives him some character...He's been healthy, and goes to the Vet this week for another check...And if the Vet gives the okay, we'll get him by the weekend...He's been the most active of the three puppies, and the first to eat solid food...He's little but tough...We went to see him Saturday...

Molls loves the him...Or as she put it..."Him my puppy, Finnegan loves me!"

Mrs. Beeze is all excited to buy stuff for the puppy...I swear to God she's more excited then the kids...That is until the first time he shits in her shoes...

That's it for now...

Have a week...

The Beeze.

Who Else Is Winning?

Yes, Charlie F-18 Sheen keeps telling us how he's "WINNING!" This picture was part of his first tweet on twitter...Him and porn star Bree Olson, pointing out how he's "WINNING!"

I posted the tweet, and picture on facebook...One friend pointed out that he is wearing a Cleveland Indians hat...I then pointed out that his hat has seen more "WINNING!" than the entire Indians team will all year! Then I saw Sheen's interview on ABC...If he isn't high, then he's nuts...And him nuts is awesome! He made it clear that he is mentally at a level, that most of us can't even imagine...Oh, and he has "Tiger blood"...What the fuck? Watching some one lose their shit live and in living color, is great!

Then his sons were taken away from him...I asked what did the scoreboard say after that? Guess what, Charlie is still "WINNING!" I hope this loon doesn't stop "WINNING!"

Then there is BYU Basketball player, Brandon Davies...I don't think he's Winning...Davies has been suspended for breaking the schools honor code, because he had sex with his girlfriend...



Hmmm...Yeah, how many college kids are really gonna say no to throwing it in her? That is Davies girlfriend, Danica Mendivil...So maybe he did some Winning...

Now BYU is upfront with it's recruits about their honor code...You know what the deal is when you go there, Mormon or not...So I respect BYU for staying firm, and making sure the honor code is taken seriously...Ohio State could maybe take a few lessons from them...

That said, the not very religious guy in me says, this is a pretty harsh response for the guy getting his dick wet...Look at her...She has a nice athletic body...Nice pillow lips...He's a guy...You can only say no so many times before your dick tells you to shut up and stick it!

I'd also like to no how many times Football players have broken some part of the honor code and still managed to be on the field the next Saturday...I'll bet if there is some digging done, we'll find Jim McMahon may have bent a few rules in that honor code...

Now onto a loser, who thinks he's Winning!...LeBron James is being stupid...Again, or some more...On twitter he posted, "20+ games left in phase 2. I'm ReFOCUSED! No prisoners, I have no friends when at WAR besides my Soldiers"

REALLY!?! That's it...I've had enough...LeBron James isn't the first, but he better be the fucking last...I've had enough with idiot, douchebag, fuck-stain, athletes comparing themselves to "Soldiers", and calling the game they play for a living, "WAR"...It's nowhere fucking close...

You want to see war LeBron...Take your sorry ass talents to Afghanistan for a week, and then talk to us about "WAR", and "Soldiers"...Other than Hank Gathers, name a basketball player who died on the court...Soldiers are dying in wars every day...Yeah, the news doesn't cover it like they use to, but it's true...Sadly, "King James" you and your friends in sports world, who love to talk about your games being "WAR", have no idea what the fuck you're talking about...

LeBron, you aren't "WINNING!"

But you know who is winning? The lucky folks who stop into The Fish House and have some of the Beeze's famous, Cock-loaf...

"WINNING!"

Later, The Beeze.
