Football Predictions
Ok well another round of what could be good games for all of our teams. Looks for the FSU game to be really high scoring as both of the defensed are bad. I think Ponder and Russel Wilson are both going to tear it up. I think FSU is the better overall team and comes out on top 41-33. Yes that is right the winning team in this matchup will be in the low 40's or high 30's I think. Ponder 350 yds passing and 3 TD's......
As for the UF game I am not sure what the line is but I am sure UF is favored. If UF continues to play the way it has the last couple of weeks I think they will get beat. However, if UF plays the way they did earlier in the year they will beat them pretty good...hmmm which team will show up? I think just like my pick'em I am going out on a limb here and predicting a narrow UGA victory. I need the points in pick'em to make a run at J
Auburn v Miss....sorry Alex I just can't see this coming out good for the War Eagle faithful. Miss appears to be rolling now while Auburn is rolling in the opposite direction. I think this game is close, but I don't think Auburn's D can hold them down. It pains me to pick Miss my friend, truly it does I want to believe. I do not think Snead is all he is cracked up to be though.
Colgate takes it to Lehigh and avenges their only loss of the season with a nice home victory......

Of course it's not for a good thing but for one of the many bank closures. As it turns out our dad's office has an account here.

Early Football Prediction
Since FSU has a Thursday night game this week I will get this out of the way early. As for FSU well word on the block is Jimbo contract is done and he will have the power to higher any coaches he wants next season in effort to get ready when he takes over after next season. However, they say Bobby will not agree to that because all he will be doing is become a figure head who gets the wins or losses for the year. Jimbo will essentially have full control because it will all be his staff. This is all rumor by the way. Let's get to it.
FSU @ UNC - UNC has a good D and a unproductive offense while FSU has a good offense and a bad D. FSU will be missing a starting CB, LB and a DT which will make this even worse. I think UNC will come out jacked up, but I do think we will be able to move the ball and score some points because Ponder is having a great year. FSU losses it close 27-23.
UF @ Miss St - UF roles enough said they take it by 21
AUB @ LSU - Well Alex I want to believe in Auburn because I think LSU is really overrated, but I have to go with LSU simply because they are at home. This one will be pretty close I think. LSU 20 - 17
Colgate @ Holy Cross - Drew this looks like the game that could decide who wins the Patriot League (not being a expert or anything). In the battle of two ranked teams I am going with a huge in by Colgate using there triple option to control the clock. Colgate wins and climbs up the polls. Colgate 23 - 20
PS If I was a betting man I would stay as far away from FSU as possible the D1 teams we have played this year have a combined record of ( 22-5). So we have been playing above average teams to say the least.

BCS
Looking at the first BCS standings of the year they do not look to bad for the most part. I mean I have no idea how UF is still #1, in my mind Bama is by far the best looking team in the country. UF has won just like Texas, but just like Texas they have looked not that great. Bama to me looks like the best team and I think we all can admit that. However, I still think UF is #2 so I guess it does not matter.
Boise St and number 4 is huge, no team from a non BCS conference has ever been that high, there win over Oregon is paying off big. However, I still think Cincinatti and Iowa still deserve to be above them when it all comes down to it because they are from a big conference with better opponents week in and week out. Obviously still a ton of time to go, but the top seven still no losses it will be interesting to see if teams like Boise St, Cincy and Iowa win out how they compare to a potential one loss team like: Bama, Texas, USC or UF.
Nick D over and out...getting drunk on a Sunday watching football because everyday is a weekend for me...SHIBBY!
Nut up or shut up

[L] Cool new musical instrument
The Eigenharp Alpha and Pico. The first video is an extensive feature demo of the Alpha, the second is a quick look at the Pico, and the third is a group demo. What do you guys think? A legit instrument or something to toss into the 'what were they thinking' pile?
Zombieland
Anybody seen it? I saw it on Wednesday and thought it was fantastic. There were some great one liners and I liked the way it was directed as well. All and all I would give it a must see if you just want to kick back and watch a above average funny zombie movie. Keep in mind this movie ain't winning any awards so just go into it if you want a movie you can just turn your brain off and enjoy. Also, Woody Harrleson is the man and his name is Tallahassee in the movie.

Football
Well let's get down to it, some very good games nationally this weekend. One plus for FSU is that since we are not playing we can not lose, wooohoooo! Also, the NCAA has finally lost all appeals so we can finally release the information about the scandal we were in before. NCAA is such garbage it pisses me off they are wasting their and FSU's money in all of these trials. Now down to the games involving our collective teams.
Arkansas v UF. I think UF will take this one, but I think the razor backs make this game interesting. I think they will put up a few points in this game with Mallet. If UF's play calling/Tebow play it safe like against LSU the game could get interesting. I am predicting UF wins, but close. This game does register on the upset radar....a little.
Auburn v Kentucky. I think Auburn bounces back and takes it to Kentucky. Auburns offense retakes form and they trounce Kentucky 35-21.
Colgate takes on win less Gtown and continues on to 7-0. Drew I expect Colgate to get back on track and put up near 40 pts.
Some good games in the pick'em this week should be interesting. Have a good weekend.

PS Rory is a beooooooooooootch.

-Chat +Random Previous Post
So the chat had a short-lived run, but it was clear that it wasn't a fit. So I dropped it and replaced it with a link to a random previous post. This isn't exactly what I wanted... I am still looking for a widget that will show a different random previous post each day. The current one will show each person a random post. My hope was to re-spark some previous convo's and if each person is taken to a different post, that doesn't really fit the bill.
Anyway, we'll see if this gets any action (feedback welcome) and like I said I'm still on the hunt...

Thoughts on Football
In typical FSU fashion it was a crazy game. Also, in typical FSU fashion we have no defense I mean wow it was bad. This is main reason why Bobby needs to go after this year because we need a whole new defense staff and Bobby will never can his boys on defense. If we bring him back next year with everything the same I will be shocked. I see no way we make a bowl game or have a winning season, which is staggering.
UF was clearly the better team I mean Tebow did not look the same and he looked scared yet you guys still won. Part of me thinks Brantely should have played some, but you won so that is all that matters. UF defense is sick good is the bottom line.
As for Auburn sorry man it looks nobody showed up, trust me I know the feeling. Still a great start man you could be in my shows, well you were last year I guess.
Go Colgate 6-0 baby....keep rolling.

[L] US: Taliban has grown fourfold
This is sad considering this is the fight we should have been focusing on all along (IMO). Now support seems to be waning, probably due to the length of time that this conflict has gone on.

Award For Nick D
Hey everybody I just spent the last 10 min thinking of great ways to help the world and even though I have not done a damn thing about it I think I am deserving of award. If any of you know of a award that is given on pure rhetoric and a plan for action with no actual steps taken besides drafting very vague guidelines please let me know......anybody??

Tonight
Remember tonight is the Colgate v Princeton football game on ESPN U. This is Colgate's first regular season game on national TV. So for those of you who missed the great Snow Game of 2003 or the thrashing of FAU or our thrashing by Delaware in the playoffs, you can finally watch us destroy yet another Ivy league school.
F$#!ball
Some tough road games on the schedule for this weekend. Should make for great tv.
Auburn @ Arkansas - Auburn is an overwhelming favorite but any game on the road in the SEC is a potential loss. I think they will do okay though because I picked em :). Auburn over Arkansas 42-24
UF @ LSU - I am scared to death of this game. Nevertheless I trust that Urban will find a way. This will either make for the best weekend ever or I will be crawling into a bottle all day Sunday. Gators squeak out a W 24-21.
GT @ FSU - I actually picked the upset on this one. The upset in this case meaning FSU (which is crazy to think). I am guessing that the BYU noles will show up at home and make for a great game. If they get knocked over with a stiff breeze and f up my picks this week I will be pissed. Noles fans are given something to hang their hopes on 38-28.
