Ten Things My Wife Got Sick of Hearing Yesterday

1) "They're really trading some helmet paint in Columbus"-I think I said it 65 times during the game.

2) Crunching- What can I say?, I like snack food with my football.

3) "Go!"-Her response, "they can't hear you through the TV"

4) "Are you going to get the Pizza?" - It's getting chilly in Chicago.

5) "Miami Won"- In hindsight I think she figured that out the first time I told her.

6) "You _______" -I can't even type those words.

7) "The fix is in"- I'm starting to see spots where it may actually be.

8) "Do we have Ice Cream?"-If we had it at noon chances are we still had it every hour after that since we hadn't eaten any.

9) "Stupid Kicker"-Used either for a kicker on the other team that makes one as well as your kicker who misses one.

10)"Where's the remote?"-My wife seems to think there's a magical place where the remote is "supposed to go".

2) Phil Fulmer - A bad call goes against his team and they quit on him.

3) South Florida-Not going to be the season they had hoped for.

4) Auburn- Will they even make a bowl?

5) Colorado - That's what you call a "spanking".

7) Kansas- Weren't even competitive.

8) Kentucky -They were losing 42-3 at Halftime.

9) Georgia Tech - Double digit favorite loses outright.

10) Tuesday Night Football - The Temple-Ohio game was just brutal to watch.

My Ten Best Picks in Week 9

1) TCU- My highest rated pick ever in the new rating system was a blowout winner.

2) Rutgers- I was feeling pretty lonely on this one.

3) Oregon-Ducks won easy, only disappointment was that I didn't rate it higher.

4) Michigan State- So easy I was scared.

5) Notre Dame- Smelled like a mismatch.

6) Oklahoma- After further review, the KSU defense still stinks.

7) Troy- Not sure why not too many are on board with the Trojans.

8) Arizona- The public was big on USC; public big usually means go the other way.

9) Minnesota- I didn't understand this line and I still don't.

10) Rice- Got to love picking a dog that's a blowout winner outright.

My Ten Worst Picks in Week 9

1) Northern Illinois-Really not a horrible pick but tough to handicap that there is going to 45 M.P.H. winds.

2) Tennessee- The Vols quit.

3) Cincinnati- Most of the losing score was in the final minutes but still never got it going.

4) Ball State- Just too many points, garbage field goal got me ("stupid kicker!")

5) Auburn - Now they can't tackle either.

6) Illinois- It's been a pattern of good week, bad week; this fit the bad week and it was, we'll be on them next week.

7) Northwestern- Just were turnover happy yesterday.

8) UCLA- Not good.

9) San Jose State- Just not enough depth.

10) New Mexico State- Like they should be laying 14 points to anyone?

Ten Pre-Season Predictions I Made ( I can admit it)

1) Colt McCoy would continue to be inconsistent-I was close...not.

2) Clemson would lose at least 4 games- Bingo!

3) The officiating would continue to get worse- Let's not forget about the Red River game and all of the others.

4) Duke would be decent- They are.

5) Tennessee would be good- Unless you count being good at stinking I wasn't even close.

6) Oregon would beat USC- They only lost 44-10, that's not that bad.

7) TCU would finish 5th in their division- I apologize to all TCU fans but I didn't save your emails to email you it personally.

8) Penn State was going no where-Unless you count a trip to the National Championship game in Miami something I was spot on.

9) Juice Williams will win the Heisman- Yeah right, he's pretty good though.

10) The BCS wouldn't work again- The jury is still out.

Ten Games I'm Looking Forward to For Week Ten

1) Georgia-Florida- Everyone's pre-season pick as game of the year.

2) Texas-Texas Tech- In hindsight, Texas is the one with the brutal schedule.

3) Tulsa-Arkansas- Let the prognosticating begin; there's about 100 angles on this one.

4) Nebraska-Oklahoma- Just to see all of the old highlights, and there are some great ones.

5) Miami-Virginia- It's a fun time to be a Canes fan again though they are a year or two away.

6) Pittsburgh-Notre Dame-Could be entertaining.

7) Oregon-Cal- Sounds like a track meet type of game.

8) Wisconsin-Michigan State- Maybe Wisky has the ship righted?

9) West Virginia-UConn- Big East battle.

10) Western Kentucky-North Texas- Someone has to win.
