The Beeze's College Football Pick'em (week 10)

Last week I didn't post a Pick'em...There were only 2-3 games I liked, and didn't even like them that much...One of the things I learned about gambling from my father was, don't bet just to bet...If you aren't feeling it...Don't do it...So I didn't...But this week, I'm feeling it...So here we go...


- Texas Tech at West Virginia...

This series is tied at two games each, so we don't have much history to work with...What we do have is this is a Big 12 game...Almost all of the Big 12 lacks defense...And we know Tech loves to chuck it, and try to score points...West Virginia is a 8 point favorite...Take the Red Raiders plus the 8 points...



- Duke at North Carolina...

UNC has won 22 of the last 25...But I am still surprised to see Duke as a 7.5 point underdog...Coming off getting royally screwed by the refs in that Miami game, I like Duke...Think about this...If Duke wins out, and then wins the conference championship, the playoff committee kind of has to ignore that Miami loss, since the ACC admitted Duke should have won...Duke is angry...Duke is on a mission...Take Duke plus the 7.5 points...

- Notre Dame at Pittsburgh...

Since 1988 the Irish lead this series 15-5...ND knows they need to win out, and will need help to get into the playoff conversation...And Pittsburgh, isn't that good...Take the Irish minus the 8.5 points...




- Florida State at Clemson...

Florida State has lost 5 of their last 6 at Clemson...This game is huge for both teams...But Clemson needs it...The only way the will get the respect they deserve from the playoff committee is if they are undefeated...The Tigers are a 10.5 point favorite...Normally, against a solid FSU team, I would go with the Seminoles getting that many points...But I'm looking for Clemson to make a statement...A bigger statement then what they made against Notre Dame...I'm taking the risk...I'm taking Clemson minus the 10.5....

-  Arizona State at Washington State...

Washington State is a 3 point favorite...WSU being a favorite is odd...This is strictly giving the home team the bump...ASU is 10-1 in the last 11 meetings...I see the SUn Devils making that 11-1...Take ASU plus the 3 points...

- LSU at Alabama...

Alabama have won the last 4 in this series...But this Alabama team isn't as good as those teams...I think they are overrated...LSU running back Leonard Fournette is out to prove something, and is looking at this game to be the key to his Heisman run...I don't even have to think about this...I'm taking the Tigers plus the 6.5 points...



- Bonus pick...


-Navy at Memphis....

Navy is a 7.5 point underdog...With the way they play, I would like to take those points...But this is Memphis...How powered offense, and a team not getting the respect they deserve...Take Memphis minus the 7.5 points...

Good luck....Beat the bookie!

The NCAA is at it Again

Three years ago the NCAA forced the University of North Dakota to drop their Fighting Sioux nickname and logo...And while the University is trying to figure out what change the nickname and logo to, Alumni, students and fans, have yet to fully embrace the passing of their history...

So the cunts at the NCAA have piped up again, with a threat to North Dakota athletics...the NCAA has told the school that if a competing team were to file a complaint about fans continuing the use of ‘Fighting Sioux’ or ‘Sioux’ in chants, like in the anthem ending, “and the home of the Sioux!,"  the NCAA could sanction the athletic teams.

“Schools can be held accountable for their fans’ actions/behavior at school events,” said Gail Dent, the NCAA’s associate director of public and media relations...

University of North Dakota spokesman, Peter Johnson knows it will be hard for fans to except and embrace a new nickname/logo...Johnson made it clear that the school does not want to tell fans what they can and can't say and wear, as many fans still wear the classic Sioux logo...

“The president has said pretty consistently that people can certainly wear what they want to wear and say what they want to say within the bounds of, well, the kinds of things you can say.”

It was bad enough when the NCAA forced UND to drop their name...And that logo...One of the best in all of sports...And North Dakota was forced to be without nickname for 3 years...Somehow it was figured this would give the fan-base a cooling off period...Yeah, right...When was the last time you saw some one cool off and be okay after you fucked them in the ass, when they didn't want your money-grubbing-politically-correct-bullshit cock in their ass!?!

The NCAA picks and chooses who they screw over...No problem with criminals at Florida State and their Seminoles mascot/logo/nickname...UND had backing of multiple Sioux tribes, yet the nickname/log was deemed "hostile and abusive."  by the NCAA...The logo which was designed by Bennett Brien, a local artist and UND graduate of Ojibwa ethnicity....

The NCAA also picks and chooses what to take stands on...Student athletes who literally can't fucking read, at North Carolina are getting passing grades so they can play Football and Basketball...Student athletes can't except a free lunch from a coach, even if they can't afford to eat...But the NCAA is worried about nicknames...

This is the idiot shit they do...Just like politicians...'Look at this shiny thing over here, ignore the real issuses.'

They make a stink about something dumb, all in an attempt to distract us from the fact that they are a multi-billion dollar corporation making all that money on the backs of their unpaid employees! 

 The NCAA is said to be a non-profit organization that regulates college athletics...It was created to help, and protect the student athlete after major injuries and deaths had been occurring on the football field during the early 20th century, which was leading Universities to kill off their programs... 

I truly love college sports...But it gets a harder and harder each year to support this mess...the governing body is only worried about padding their bank accounts...The Universities have the same mindset...Is it any wonder you here so many college athletes saying, "I gotta get mine!"

As for UND...The school has been going through the process of adopting a new nickname...The list is now down to five....Fighting Hawks, North Stars, Nodaks, Roughriders and Sundogs. UND president Robert Kelley has also suggested the no nickname option after a large backlash of fans, students and alumni felt that was the best way to go...Either Fighting Sioux or no Fighting Sioux is their feeling...
