Oh yea...Rory is a little beotch.....

Avoiding the 4th Loss

Well the exciting college football season keeps rolling with all three teams playing this weekend in different televised time slots. This weekend we shall see if our teams can avoid the 4th loss of the season. FSU looks to continue to rebound from its bad start with its third straight victory in a row against a decent opponent. NC State are not world beaters, but feature a very good QB and some skilled players. UF is looking to end its three game slide against what appears to be a solid Georgia team. While this game has been DOMINATED by UF the last two decades UGA appears to be the better team this year. Auburn is hoping to rebound from a trip to LSU by hopefully pounding on the worst team in the SEC. Both AU and UF really need to find some offense this week if they hope to win. Let's see what we predict below.

UF v UGA - Honestly I have no idea what to pick. UGA should win this game, but UF seems to pull a rabbit out of the hat consistently in this series. UGA 17-13

AU v Ole Miss - Home game for Aubie, Ole Miss is 0-4 in the SEC spells a victory for Auburn. 24-10

FSU v NC State - FSU will continue to light it up offensively and the defense goes sack city all over this statue of a QB NC State has. However, NC State will force a pick six to keep themselves in the game. FSU 38 - 17

OWS is full of idiots except for this lady

Cheap Rents in AZ ??{L}

Jae according to this article you should carefully consider should you ever try to buy some property and rent it out as a investment in the near future. If we all ever wanted to take a vacation and rent a house near the Sammy's I am sure we can swindle some property owner into a great 1 week rate.

Anybody else find it interesting that Toledo, Ohio is one of the 75 biggest cities in America?? Perhaps just me because that is where my dad went to college.

UF v Auburn

It is great to see you guys playing each other again, seems like it has been a while. Hopefully there can be some good shit talking for this game. With this being a road game for UF and there QB play downright awful I think Auburn will take this. Auburn has not exactly been lightin it up either so who knows what to expect. What I do hope for us a competive fun game.

In terms of FSU well if we don't beat Duke all hell is going to break lose. Honestly as pathetic as it is it may be a decent game to watch, they have a good QB and receivers. Amazing we can go with being tied with Oklahoma in the 4th Qtr to hoping to beat Duke. I don't even want to think about if we don't, let's just hope we do so FSU can salvage some type of season.

Full name alert

Hey Jae, I noticed my full name is listed in the contributers list...anyway to get this changed? Nothing bad is linked to my name yet, but I'd like to keep it that way! I don't want another Rory escapade ;)

Also, Eric, Fitocracy won't let me sign in. I tried through facebook and it only errors. Is there an invite code?

Road Test Weekend

Well this weekend we shall see if UF and AU can stave off the dreaded second lost that FSU gained two weeks ago. Also, we shall see if FSU season will officially be over with a loss to Wake. Personally I see AU pulling this one out I think Aubie is turning the corner on the season and will take down Arkansas. In terms of UF well lets just say I have zero confidence and in them winning this game. Maybe they will surprise everybody and play a close game, but with the way the offense looked against Bama I just don't see it. That is why they play the games though right?? You never know. Instead of the score I will post how many yds I think UF will gain. For FSU well who the hell knows what to expect sure we have lost to 2 top 10 teams, but Wake always gives us trouble and FSU can't run the ball. Hopefully our defense will make the Clemson game look like the exception and not the norm.

AU wins - +70 points scored
UF losses by at least 17 and gains under 200 yds of offense
FSU wins by 10, but does not look good doing it.

Fire Tablet

Just curious of what you guys have thought about the new tablet Amazon is releasing in November. Seems pretty decent to me mainly because the price tag is sitting at a nice $199. Guess we probably will not know much until people actually get their hands on them.

I figured Alex would like these in the spirit of the UF- Bama game.

Happy Birthday Rory

And thank you Florida GNN Birthday reminder :).

Hope you have a happy birthday man.

Gears 3

For those of you who are cool and play video games you should be aware that Gears 3 is out. I found out that Newegg is running a promotion where you get a $20 gift card with purchase [L]. If you ever buy anything through Newegg this is a hard deal to beat.

Netflix site/business split

If you haven't already heard, Netflix is dividing its company into two different sites, Netflix and Qwikster. Netflix will now be a streaming only service with Qwikster handling the DVD by mail. Current customers of both services will have an account created at Qwikster and will be billed separately at the current rates. Qwikster will also add video games to the library. Extreme downsides include separate sites, separate queues, separate ratings and separate bills. This just screams "Let's disassociate ourselves with the DVD business that's taking a nosedive." With this new information, which side are you choosing? Anyone staying with both services? As it stands right now, I'd be a customer of both services, but I'm going to have to reassess how much I use each service.

Italy Trip

Those of you that have been.... If you could go for a week, would you spend the week in Rome or half a week in Milan and half a week in Florence?

Wknd Predictions

Well since we finally all have a decent game (AU had one last weekend) let's have some fun and make a couple of predictions. There is finally a full Saturday of decent games to watch!

UT @ UF - Gators take this one by a close margin, if it were on the road I would go with UT, but since it is in the swamp. Gators win. 21-17

Auburn @ Clemson - Seems pretty clear to me that Auburn has a productive offense and unproductive defense. While Clemsons D has looked bad and their offense unspectacular. If this were at home I think Auburn takes it to them by a good margin, but since it is a road game Auburn wins by a closer margin. 34-24

OU @ FSU - With what happened last year many people think it will be a repeat performance. However, that was only the second game under a new defense coach and we got smoked by a good team. This year I expect our defense to fair much, much better. Offensively it is hard for me to tell. If we play like we did the first two games I will not be happy then again we played the most basic offensive sets you could possibly play. Personally I think this game will be decided by 7 pts or less. With FSU and the home crowd and NICK D in attendance I am predicting a FSU win 27-24!!!!!!!

Yea I am drinking the kool-aide, but can you blame me. By the way we are setting up our tailgate at 7AM going to be cooking all three meals out there. I have Bloody Marys ready to roll with a couple of mandatory water chug/alcohol breaks scheduled for the afternoon.

GO NOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
