Between last year's playoffs and Sheff shooting off his mouth, the Tigers have become the Red Sox Light in my suite of home brewed baseball hate venom beers. I sure do hope we see Vinny this year and i am sure we will once he gets wind of the offer to take over the blog for a day. I am all over that offer Chip, but watch I don't get you fired due to inappropriate content. I got 4 months to dream up something big!!!!<BR/><BR/>Onto the game. It might be football and not hoops but my hatred for Duke spans all things Blue Devil. Are you sensing a theme of hatred in my post this week? Regardless, it makes this week's game special. The Huskies can't win this one by enough for my liking.<BR/><BR/>Game 1: Huskies +4.5 - Must admit I am a little scared that Chip has been watching our favorite team practice for over a month and his pick shows no confidence in their ability to beat a team that hasn't won since - when was that last time they won? Chip, are the Huskies really that bad? Tell me you mis-typed.<BR/>Game 2: Mountaineers -24<BR/>Game 3: Panthers +20? - That's like 40 points advantage over the vegas lines. Count me in!!<BR/>Game 4: Cowboys +3.5 - Fennis Dembo is good for at least 4 TDs.<BR/>Game 5: Demon Deacons +6<BR/>Game 6: Fighting Irish -1.5<BR/>Game 7: Bulldogs -6<BR/>Game 8: Zips -5.5<BR/>Game 9: Golden Bears -6.5 - Payback is a bitch, Vols!!!<BR/>Game 10: Tigers +3.5DetroitTigersHaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519307009817920367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31590763.post-85494958110613172932007-08-30T23:25:00.000-04:002007-08-30T23:25:00.000-04:00Sammy's picksGame 1: UConn.Game 2: WEST VIRGINIAGa...Sammy's picks<BR/>Game 1: UConn.<BR/>Game 2: WEST VIRGINIA<BR/>Game 3: PITTSBURGH<BR/>Game 4: Virginia<BR/>Game 5: BOSTON COLLEGE<BR/>Game 6: NOTRE DAME<BR/>Game 7: Oklahoma State<BR/>Game 8: AKRON<BR/>Game 9: CAL<BR/>Game 10: CLEMSONAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31590763.post-81466057467631679032007-08-30T23:17:00.000-04:002007-08-30T23:17:00.000-04:00Ian's picksGame 1: UCONN (+4.5) over Connecticut.G...Ian's picks<BR/><BR/>Game 1: UCONN (+4.5) over Connecticut.<BR/>Game 2: WEST VIRGINIA (-24) over Western Michigan<BR/>Game 3: PITTSBURGH (+20) over Eastern Michigan<BR/>Game 4: Virginia (-3.5) over WYOMING<BR/>Game 5: BOSTON COLLEGE (-6) over Wake Forest<BR/>Game 6: Georgia Tech (+1.5) over NOTRE DAME<BR/>Game 7: GEORGIA (-6) over Oklahoma State<BR/>Game 8: AKRON (-5.5) over Army<BR/>Game 9: Tennessee (+6.5) over CAL<BR/>Game 10: Clemson (+3.5)over Florida StateIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175810256714052549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31590763.post-1174781339196188892007-08-30T22:10:00.000-04:002007-08-30T22:10:00.000-04:00Still waiting on Vinny from East Haven and his bit...Still waiting on Vinny from East Haven and his bitchin Camaro to roll up on the set.
