Weekend Predictions: I see dead people (and a Tech win)
Have something you'd like to see on the chalkboard? The suggestion box is always open.
Because we here at Weekend Predictions Investments and Aeration Services aim to educate you, the degenerate gambler with the half of a Pop Tart sticking out of your shirt pocket, we offer this historical nugget. Tallahassee is old. Like really old. Like Indians built mounds there in the 1200s or something kind of old. Like DeSoto was here and celebrated the first Christmas in the continental U.S. and therefore was the first parent to disappoint his kid with another pinecone kind of old. Like dinosaur teenagers would walk around and think, “Dude, I hate it here. We need a mall,” kind of old.
Here's what's left of Bobby Bowden, riding the Seminoles' mascot, Renegade
So as a general rule, old rules in Tallahassee. Even if you’re dead. I found several websites detailing actual Tallahassee ghost stories. One was about an empty army uniform striding on a highway through town, even to this day! The website, GhostsofAmerica.com, warned, “It’s a menacing ghost that you shouldn’t go trying to find,” which is just as well because I figure the guy is bitter because he was a highly decorated colonel or something until he was pushed off a roof by a member of the Florida State Board of Trustees.
Which leads me to Saturday in old Tallahassee: Georgia Tech against the empty polo shirt of Bobby Bowden. If you can’t make it for the start of the game, be sure to tune in by halftime for the public stoning.
The Seminoles aren’t a football team any more. They’re Mutiny on the Bounty meets the Salem Witch Trials. And somebody thinks they’re going to pull together? No.
Georgia Tech is getting three points. Must be a thank you gift for attending the funeral. Take the trey. But Jackets over Flawed State straight up.
Seven years of college down the drain
Nice pin. Do you think maybe Mickie James can play cornerback? Running back? How about block a little?
Trembling Chihuahuas at Tennessee: There is prime time and then there is Georgia football, which plays its next two games at noon and just announced the Nov. 7 Tennessee Tech game will be on pay-per-view ($29.95), and I hope that means we’re getting a WWE cage match or maybe a few Divas at halftime. Seriously, though: Would you have thought a month ago that the Dogs would be ‘dogs in this game? I see ugliness Saturday. Like, a final score of 12 to 10 1/2. Don’t know why, but take the 1 1/2 and Poochies win this straight up.
Tebow watch: Day 13! The effects from a concussion have severely cut into Tim Tebow’s practice time, as well as healing the sick and cleansing the lepers (Bobby Petrino, Nick Saban . . .). Hey, I don’t care if Tebow wakes up and thinks he’s Johnny Unitas. LSU is 5-0 and hasn’t even been overly impressive yet. Makes you wonder what happens when they play well. Like Saturday. (Drum roll…) The Tigers have won 32 straight Saturday night home games. Jump on the eight points. And on this: Tigers upset Gators.
Maybe I have the concussion: But I foresee scenes like this in Baton Rouge.
Alabama at Old. Ms.: A judge this week ordered Tide linebacker Courtney Upshaw to take an anger management class after he was seen grabbing a woman by the arm. Nick Saban took the matter so seriously that he ordered Upshaw to start against Kentucky last week. Wait. What? Of course, if it was Saban’s daughter, Bama would be down one linebacker this week and we’d still be looking for the body. Tide covers 8.
Auburn at Arkansas: Razorbacks Ryan Mallett has thrown 11 touchdown passes in 16 quarters, which basically means Bobby Petrino has one less person to blame when he loses ANOTHER SEC game (record so far: 2-8). Tigers over Piggies and cover 2 1/2.
NFL Six-Pack
(I drank one)
This is what 49ers coach Mike Singletary looks like when he is relatively calm (and clothed).
Falcons at Phoney Niners: Things are going so well in San Francisco that coach Mike Singletary can now make it through four quarters without dropping trou. Wonder if Halas did that in Chicago? Seriously, on the subject of nether regions, the Niners’ defense is kicking it, allowing only four touchdowns (zero rushing) in four games. And on the subject of running games, has anybody seen Michael Turner? Keep your pants on! Take the 2 1/2. But Falcons win in a mild upset.
Bucs at Eagles: Donovan McNabb is back, which means Michael Vick will resume his position on the team, seated right next to the bearded lady and the two-headed goat. And about Vick: Shouldn’t you be required to score a touchdown or at least convert a third-down before “starring” in a reality TV series? Because otherwise, aren’t you just the sideshow that you keep insisting you don’t want to be? Where were we? Oh right. Bucs stink. Eagles cover a bundle (14 1/2).
Al Davis has found the key to Sunday's game.
Raiders at Giants: Al Davis is been breaking down film all week and is convinced Oakland’s pass rush will rattle Joe Pisarcik. And who took my CornNuts!?! Meanwhile, back on Earth: New York wins but I don’t like giving up 15 1/2. Take the points.
Vikings at Rams: First Brett Favre plays like he’s 28 Monday night. Then the Twins eliminate my chokin’ Tigers from the playoffs. Is this like some cosmic payback for having to live in Minnesota and waking up with blue toes four months out of the year? Meanwhile, the Rams have been outscored 108-24. How is that even possible with hallucinogens? The Favres win again and cover 9 1/2 on the road.
Cowboys at Chiefs: Tony Romo has one touchdown, four interceptions and seven sacks in the last three games. The good news is that nobody can accuse him of dropping off in December. Dallas wins but take the Chiefs and 8 1/2.
♦
TOTEBOARD
Last week: 6-6 straight up (that’s what I get for picking upsets) and 7-5 against the line.
Accounts payable: 35-19 straight up, 25-29 against the line.

Jeff, got to disagree on the UF game.
SEC Commissioner Mike Slive basically just told the world no matter how poor, unethical and dishonest the zebras can be, they will not be held accountable. Boy, I’d love to be on the dining room floor of SEC Crook…I mean ref Penn Wagers with all the unaccounted for cash under the table.
If the Wagers crew is in Baton Rouge and/or Jacksonville, max out the account and bet on the Gators bigtime. Mike Slive loves Florida…couldn’t get the big ESPN TV deal without Tim Tebow and the Gators.
I agree w/ you on Tech and Bama.

Um, I guess you haven’t noticed it but the Gators return their ENTIRE defense of 2008, I guess you don’t remember but it’s the same defense that whupped Alabama and Oklahoma. As of yet the LSU Tigers have shown no great offensive talent, nearly losing to Mississippi State and Georgia. Whether the Gators have Tebow or Brantley (who would start for almost any other team in the SEC other than UF) LSU will not score many points. My money is on Florida in this one and the only team I see giving UF fits is Alabama in the championship game.

I guarantee at these four things will happen in Knoxville on Saturday:
1. UGA will allow over 300 yards of offense and lose time of posession battle.
2. UGA will have at least one turnover.
3. UGA will allow at least one big kick return.
4. UGA will have the most penalties.
but, don’t fear, UGA fans….there is no doubt that we will have the best game plan of the two teams.

Real Tech?
You mean the school with “Technology” in its name, as opposed to Polytechnic? Or the team with 4 MNCs as opposed to 0. Or maybe the team with a winning bowl record, as opposed to the one that is 8-14 lifetime (for the record, we’ve won just as many bowls as VPI has been to). Maybe the team with three major awards named after its personnel – Heisman, Dodd, Homer Rice. Or the team with nearly three times as many All-Americans as the other. Maybe the team with the biggest blowout in the books? A team with almost as many SEC conference titles (5) as VT total conference titles (7), even though Tech hasn’t been in the SEC since the Beatles played at Shea stadium.
Let it be known there is only ONE “Tech.” And its not located in that inbred cesspool known as Blacksburg, which isn’t even a city.

Prediction? Here goes
1. georgia will lose to Tennessee and since the Kiffens want to make a recruiting statement, it will be as ugly as uga.
2. georgia will allow over 150 yards rushing
3. georgia will allow over 250 yards passing
4. georgia will have the ball less than Tennessee
5. georgia will have more turnovers than Tennessee
6. georgia will have 3 times more penalty yards than Tennessee
7. georgia will have half as much return yardage as Tennessee
8. georgia will kick the ball out of bounds on two kick offs
9. georgias “pro style” offense that Rivals recruits (and SEC defensive coordinators) love will run the toss sweep 50% of the time.
10. georgia will throw Hail Mary’s to AJ Green 25% of the time
11. georgia players and fans will “beg but not get the call” from officials ten times during this game.
12. While down by 3 touch downs in the 4th quarter a georgia defender will sack the quarter back and spint away from the pile to deliver a dance
13. After georgia loses 10 or more georgia fans will compare Joe Cox’s hair to Tennessee orange.
14. georgia players will have a hard time NOT humming Rocky Top for no reason next week

East Cobb, your mascot is a castrated turkey. Your school is officially titled the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, even though there already is a Virginia State University in Petersburg. You have been known as VPI, Virginia Poly, Vippy Sue, and other wimpy names names. Believe me, when people say “Tech” they aren’t referring to you. When people see your scores on SportsCenter they confuse you with Vermont. You have about the same tradition.

Jeff, your writing is only getting better. I can take anything if it’s done with wit and aplomb [complete and confident composure or self-assurance]. However, why Georgia fans seem so down in the mouth right now (the only reason you can get away with it) is beyond me. I mean, in one season for God’s sake — and we haven’t even really sucked yet. In fact, we have a pretty good football team. One that I look forward to watching every cotton-pickin’ Saturday. Why Oklahoma is ranked at 2-2, and Georgia at 3-2 is not, confounds me, but that’s beside the point. Anytime I get down in the mouth about Georgia Football (last weekend), I think back to that four-game SEC losing streak in ‘06, and the inexplicable spanking of #5 Auburn at Jordan-Hare which broke it — and the 28 point deficit (largest in Georgia history) we overcame in the second half of the Peach Bowl against VT with a true freshman at QB … well, you get the point. It’s just a game, people. Played by young men, many of whom will have something when they leave college that the majority of us don’t, namely a college education. Hope springs eternal, folks. I’m going to kick back with my Big Orange Brothers up in Ringgold, GA Saturday with most everything that’s Red & Black that I own, pour ice-cold Sweetwater IPA’s into a glass all afternoon, revel in the football pedigree that comes with being a fan in the SEC no matter what color you wear, and imagine hearing Larry Munson make this call when Waushan Ealy trucks Eric Berry for six points; “Oh, you Waushan Ealy!’ “My God, he’s running over people!” Four out of five in Knoxville, people. Go Dawgs !!!!

Jeff,
In regards to your previous blog about UGA, I recall a lot of similarities to one you wrote after UGA survived at Vanderbilt two years ago (the one with Mark Richt pushing his players for jumping on the V logo at midfield). I think you said something along the lines of “welcome to mediocrity”. UGA finished that year number 2 in the nation.
Look, I’m not saying that will happen this year. But you’ve been very vocal about how there shouldn’t be polls until later on in the college football year. I also know it’s your job to call them as you see them during the year. But let’s wait a bit before we bury the UGA program, Mark Richt specifically. Someone should get a pool going about who will write the “Time for a Coaching Change at UGA” article first, you or Mark Bradley. You’ve both been hinting around it most of this year. My money’s on Bradley though.

Jeff, all i know is uga sucks. Lsu is not a good team this year either. Tenn will upset uga in knoxville. You will see come saturday. Who has the better defense? I will take papa kiffin all day over willie m. defense trumps offense and tenn wins this game 13-10! Gt will have a tough time also jeff. They have looked good in spurts but their defense is mildly better than uga. I can see ponder leading in this one and throwing for 400 yards on tech. If andrews defense can slow the option just under 24 points, tech gets beat 35-24. They won’t stop ponder. Can anyone really tell me that tech and uga’s defense won’t cost them a few more games on each schedule? Tech’s offense looks tougher than uga’s so i can’t wait to see those two crappy teams go head to head in november. Niether team could play the crimson tide a worthy game!

October 8th, 2009

is not deserving of refering itself to TECH.
-georgia tech has been called TECH for over 100 years.
-vpi sue prob tried to steal our trademark over the last 10 years or so. before then most people still called them by vpi SUE. get a clue… no matter how many times your pr guy refers to you as tech just rememeber there is ONLY one TECH and vpi sue aint it.
-if they are going to steal an icon at least admit it.
-michael vick went to vpi sue. enough said.
-michael vick’s brother went to vpi sue. enough said.
- georgia TECH is one of only a few schools to have won at all the major bowls.
-vpi sue has maybe played in one of them.
-vpi sue’s success is totally dependant on their coach. once he leaves they will revert to being a duke like program
-has anybody seen vpi sue’s stadium? talk about lack of an atmosphere. it looks like a parking garage in the middle of a corn field.
panache? what panache.
nope there is only one TECH an we are THE GEORGIA TECH.
and vpi sue people… dont forget your true place as being a johnny come lately football program with not much else going for it.

I respect your opinion sir but I think you are reaching with your LSU prediction. LSU is so lucky to be 5-0 and barely beat a poor Georgia and Mississippi State team. But they are 5-0 so that is that. They will have to play 100% better than they have been to win and will have to score more than 20 points which they squeaked out on Saturday. Florida’s defense is going to bring this one home for the Gators. They will hold LSU to under 20 which won’t be enough for the Tigers to win no matter who plays quarterback for Florida. Florida scores 21+ it is a victory for them.

Jeff, we was wondering if blogging paid all that well. When we was at Henry Grady we was always told that column writing was better than beat writing and editorial page writing paid best unless you was syndicated. Are you syndicated? When we was playing ball we never thought our gift for writing good would be something we;d need to fall back on. Now, here we are going back to work for the paper and glad to be coming back. When we was with the paper the first time we was dropping papers in counties where they don’t even send the paper now. It is good that the Internet is here and we are able to reach out to those people if they have computers or can use one at the library. We read all your picks and we pretty much agree except for the part about swine flu.

Mark it down: lsu wins that game easy, with or without Tebow. At night, in Baton Rouge, the Tigers are unbeatable. Florida will fold like a cheap tent after a few early mistakes. Tigers 33 Gators 23

Georgia at Tennessee-Wow. You posted stats yesterday about the Dawgs I could scarcely believe: 105th in rushing, 107th in something else, 80th in still another category. To steal a phrase from Norville Rogers, better known as Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, “zoinks”. Kiffin has to win one, right? Might as well be this one. (I loved the Mickie James pic, by the way…like her, UGA pops an implant this week–she really did suffer a breast implant rupture a couple of weeks ago and I’m ashamed to say I know that).
Georgia Tech at FSU-What little the Seminoles have done well this year, the short to intermediate passing game, is something Tech has yet to prove it can consistently defend. Hate me Tech fans — I hate me for picking it too — Noles win and cover the trey.
Florida at LSU-Another page in the Tebow legend. I’ll take the Tigers with the points, though.
Bama at Misses-Call me crazy but I like Jevan Snead. A lot. Not in that way. I admire his toughness. The Tide has covered like crazy so while your line says 8, I see it at 5, and I’ll take the Rebs to lose in a close one.
Auburn at Arky-Since I see Petrino the latrino as less than a man, I’ll use less than Arkansas’ full name. There has to be an upset somewhere so I’ll make it this one. Hogs feed on the Tigers.
Last week I was only 3-2, for which I apologize but I did hit what I fancy as picks of the week with UVA winning outright and Michigan State lucking out to cover 4 in overtime. I don’t see a real standout game that grabs me but I need a “pick of the week” so here it is, and sans explanation: Kentucky +9.5 against South Carolina.

Hey Schultz, what do you know about the Upshaw incident? Not that you need to know anything much to take a twofer shot at Nick Saban and a 19 year old kid.

I’ve always wanted to go to Neyland Stadium. Regrettably I picked this weekend!My PSYHCO DAWGS can’t lose to Jon (I can’t hit the side of a barn) Crompton, can they? The rest of your picks look sane, but Gators win.

Tigers beat the Gators, Seminoles beat the Jackets, Dawgs beat the Vols. 38-3 seems like only yesterday. I’m still laughing about that. I think it’s funny for these Jacket fans to still want to brag when they win a couple of games, especially when they only won 1 out of their last 8 against the rival. Also, do Tech fans have any idea how people laugh about them at parties…I mean, first of all, a Tech fan probably does not go to parties, but if he/she did, people always snicker when they say the went to Tech.

You must not get it. Tech won the national title last year when they beat Ga. When you beat Ga thats a national title. So go ahead and raise the flag in Baton Rouge, no need to play Fl, you won last week your the champions.

I don’t remember that post from 7:06 p.m. with my name assigned and I’m pretty confident I didn’t make it.
But if posting something like that turns Megan Fox on, I’ll play pretend it was actually me that came up with it.

Alabama’s Upshaw is required to take an anger management class, but don’t try to make him look like a thug. His girlfriend was seen trying to hit him in the face and he grabbed her arm and pushed her away. The girl’s own father was quoted basically saying that his daughter has a lot of history and it was her fault…

Schultz: I knew you guys had a book! How else could so many people be on the wrong page at the same time? I do agree with your picks though, more or less.
When exactly did UGA VII dump on Grant Field? Was it right after another Roddy Jones touchdown?

When was the last time you read one of those “Georgia may be a better team without Stafford and Moreno” posts? Yeah, I can’t remember either. I think we have all learned that losing two 1st round play makers does not make your team better. In fact, it makes you regret underachieving because at some point you realize that last year was the best shot Richt has had at an NC and will be the best shot for some time to come.

Jeff,
Nice comment about a UGA team that has shown a lot of heart this year against a tough schedule. They will get it together. You, on the other hand, might want to sober up a bit before calling ANYONE who is 6′5″ or greater “trembling.” I would imagine that if you actually called any UGA player walking down the street “trembling chihuahua”, and they so much as LOOKED at you, you would be the one trembling… Or maybe needing a new pair of trousers…

What’s that I see in my rear view mirror? Why it looks like a bulldog. What kind of bulldog though, is it a Gardner State Bulldog, a Miss State Bulldog, or heaven forbids a Georgia Bulldog. It don’t really matter does it. See ya.

Jeff, I don’t get it — what does “trembling chihuahuas” mean? Is that supposed to mean the Dawgs are scared of the Vols? Also, you might want to be more careful with your responses back to the readers — you’re starting to sound like you’re losing it. Is everything okay?
