McD’s Week 12 College Football Picks

Saturday, November 19th, 2011

What I'm watching: 8:45 am - ESPN3 replay of Oklahoma State/Iowa State because I think I'm getting pranked by some one. No way did OSU lose to ISU. Unless....Oh, yeah, they really ARE Oklahoma State, so yeah that actually makes sense that they would blow their perfect season in Ames, IA ...

McD’s Week 11 College Football Picks

Saturday, November 12th, 2011

What I'm watching: 12 pm: Flipping between Nebraska/Penn State for the train-wreck-watching and Okie State/Texas Tech for the O-fence. 3:30 pm: TCU/Boise State - At least, until Boise pulls away.

McD’s Week One College Football Picks

Saturday, September 3rd, 2011

I couldn't think of the right exclamation to start off my fifth season of gambling on college football for this site, especially since the last two years went so damn well. No seriously, I was over .500 both years, which if you knew me, you'd be shocked I could do ...

USC Trojans vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers Preview

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

Minnesota (0-0) at (25) Southern California (0-0) (-23.5) USC's secondary coach resigned Thursday, the team's defense was historically, hilariously bad last year, the offense only showed hints of breaking out of the vanilla coma created in the Sarkisian/Bates/late Carroll era, and the Trojans still ineligible for both the Pac-12 title game ...
