Tomorrow I fly to Miami for the National Title game on Monday. While ND has won one during my lifetime, it’s not like I even knew what my left hand was at age 3, so it’s hard to claim a lot of joy from that. If you know me, hell if you just read this blog or my twitter, you know full well how emotionally wrapped up in sports I am. It is to an admittedly weird and likely problematic degree, and no team means more to me than the University of Notre Dame. My dad went there, so I grew up with it. But it wasn’t until I went there that it really took over my soul.
Coming into the year I was…well…less than optimistic about ND’s chances at success this year. It’s amazing the success ND has had this year. Now the only thing standing in the way is the team that won 2 of the last 3 titles, the unbeatable Tide, led by their evil cyborg of a coach who only cares about murder and dominance in football, Nick Saban. But you know what? Fuck it, we’re just gonna win the whole damn thing. This will be a knock down, drag out war, but ND can win this football game. Both D’s are outstanding and I’ll happily put ND’s offensive talent against theirs. I get why we are the underdogs, but I think a lot more of it is based on the past 5 years, not this season.
Either way, this summer at my reunion myself and 2 of my old roomates spent a night just yelling and being angry about the state of ND football, wondering if we’d ever get back to the National Title level, and just a few months later, here we are, one game away. It’s gonna be a big weekend.
Go Irish

A happy Thanksgiving to all of you fine folks. I’ve never been as thankful for college football as I have this year for obvious reasons. In honor of the gluttony this day stands for, we’re going with a veritable cornucopia of games this weekend. While last week turned into a huge weekend, the slate sounded pretty below average. That is certainly not the case here. Away we go

This is actually happening. I’m 100% stunned right now. Coming into the year I was thinking 8 or 9 wins, I knew the front 7 was amazing but was terrified about our young secondary, the qb roulette, all of it. But here we are, 11-0, the lone undefeated, #1 in the land, best in the world. Notre Dame is one game away from the National Championship game. I can’t even fathom this. I’m completely stunned. All that is left is to beat USC. A game we will be up for because of the rivalry, but USC is down and Barkley probably won’t even play after he got blown up and had his shoulder separated today. I’m just so so happy right now. This is amazing. Go Irish

Week 12? Seriously?? Crazy. It’s sad how terrible this week’s slate is. Game on

Seriously…Notre Dame is 10-0. There is much left to be played, and USC is a huge test, but holy shit 10-0. Also, I’ll say I can understand the BCS taking KState and Oregon over us, but I will break so many things if we go undefeated, having played the toughest schedule in the country as everyone said preseason, and don’t make the title game. Especially this close to a playoff. But you know what, that’s Future Eddie’s problem. 10 and freaking 0.

We are getting dangerously close to the end of the college football season kids. This makes me a sad panda. Let us go to this week’s slate.

Well kids, this is a week many have had circled since the schedules came out. Bama-LSU and USC-Oregon. Before the Trojans imploded people figured this would be a de facto semifinal for the year. It can certainly qualify as an eliminator showdown. Game on

Great slate of games this week and a huge one for yours truly. I will be heading to Norman to see a top 10 clash in person. Let’s get right to it.

So we have ourselves a ballgame on Saturday night. The #5 Irish come into Norman as a 12 point dog to the #8 Sooners. Before the season, I had this game written as a loss without a doubt. Then again, before the season I expected to have at least one, if not 2 losses by now en route to an 8 win year at best. As always, I’m dumb. I’ve never been happier to be wrong than I have with this Irish team so far.

A lot of people hovering around the 50% winning percentage mark (full list here) while I continue to flail about. Posting on Thursdays is a terrible idea. But we do what we must. TO THUNDERDOME!

Who wants to sex college football picks? Season standings and more can be seen here, but jump with me to this weeks cornucopia of wagering, won’t you?

Hope you kids enjoyed the week off of picking. Lord knows I needed it, even though I finally had a plus week for once in week 4. See how you did here, then hit the jump and let’s play the game we all came to play.

It’s literally pathetic how bad I’ve been this year. Surely that just means I’m due, right? Please?

Well last week was just an abject failure. I’m terrible, and only one of yall are over .500. The only good news to missing these picks is I’ve bet against several of them due to having more knowledge on Saturday than Thursday. Still, crikey. Let’s turn this shit around shall we?
