College Football Picks This Weekend

Marshall -3 - Just gotta keep rolling with the Thundering Herd.  All they do is beat spreads.  With that being said since I'm throwing $$$ on them they probably get their dicks stomped in.  So beware but still bet the house on them.

Oklahoma -2 - This is rather simple.  The Sooners are the better football team.  If Tennessee was in  any other conference but the SEC this spread would be double digits.  And no it doesn't matter that it's in Neyland.  The Vols still suck.

Oregon St +14.5 - Only taking this game because Michigan is just so awful covering spreads especially in the Big House.  I think Michigan wins but it will be within two TDs.  That half point hook is huge.

Temple +7 -  Don't laugh at Penn State just because they got their asses kicked last week to Temple.  Temple is the real deal.  They are a sneaky good team and their defense is legit.  They will beat up on Gunner Kiel.

South Florida +28 - The Everett Golson effect.  He had no turnovers last week which means he's due for 7-8 this game.  FSU will win but it will be within 20.

Iowa St +3 - I'm only taking the Cyclones because they are home dogs and literally everything has gone wrong with the Hawkeyes the past two weeks.

Notre Dame -13 - ND should win easily.  42-13 type game.  I'm not even going to explain.

Georgia Tech -29.5 - Tech will win by 40 points easily vs Tulane.  All they gotta do is run the ball 60 times and it won't be within 6 TD.s.

Herschel Walker Calls Nick Chubb A "Throwback"



If "throwback" means badass then yes, Herschel Walker, Nick Chubb is indeed one of those.

Chubb also is getting way too much tread on his tires.  With a game versus the imploding Vanderbilt Commodores it would be wise for Mark Richt and Georgia to limit Chubb's carries so he can be ready to go 30 plus a game vs Bama.

But what do I know?  Richt has produced way more National Championship game appearances at UGA then I ever will.

Oh wait, nevermind.



Brian Kelly With the Ultimate Boss Saying on A Season With Notre Dame Football


It doesn't get any more Alpha Male than Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly stating his football team "we're gonna beat Texas' ass!" on the season premiere of his new Showtime show "A Season With Notre Dame Football."

And not only did he say it but he went out and kicked and stomped Bevo right in their burnt orange manbags 38-3.  Just straight up kicked Texas ass like he said they would.

Move over Donald Trump.  Take a seat Bill Belichick.  There is a new boss in America.

Brian Fucking Kelly.

Trick Shot Monday: Virginia Week

On and most certainly off the field Notre Dame is not the same without linebacker Joe Schmidt cutting it up in front of his teammates. Well done Schmidty. Well done.

Irish Connection Video: Behind The Scenes Of Notre Dame's 38-3 Victory over Texas

"Next Man In" is a great team slogan and it's going to be needed all season if the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are going to make a run for the playoffs. They have already lost 3 starters (DL Jarron Jones, nickel back Shaun Crawford and now tailback Tarean Folston) to season ending knee injuries. This is where depth and preparation becomes keys to having a successful season. Freshman RB Josh Adams stepped up and played brilliantly vs Texas. Freshman DT Jerry Tillery had a sack vs Texas. You gotta have guys step up and be the "next man in" because make no mistake in 11 days when they face Georgia Tech they are going to need all 80 plus scholarship players in order to beat the Yellow Jackets and their vaunted Triple Option offense.

Mississippi State Super Fan Sting Ray Has a Message for LSU



Well if you ever wondered what a real life Peter Griffin would look like I present you with Mississippi State super fan "Sting Ray."  When he's not calling into The Paul Finebaum Show (HEY PAWL!!!!) he's putting extra mayonnaise on his Subway footlong.

No joke his little cowbell shrine scares the shit out of me.  This guy has probably skinned stray cats as a sacrifice for the LSU game.  Thank baby Jesus ND doesn't play Miss St or he would probably catch my Irish ass and use my skin as a raincoat while rubbing himself off to Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls.

I'm not saying "Sting Ray" is a psychopath but I'm not going to act like he isn't the love child of Jerry Sandusky and Jared Fogle.

SPORTSCRACK TOP 10 WEEK 1



10 Boise St - Struggled a bit with Washington and their former coach but this team is the one non power 5 conference with a chance to make the playoffs.
9 TCU - I'm already starting to get on the overrated bandwagon with the Horned Frogs. They didn't play well on the road at Minnesota but still won the game.
8 UCLA - Freshman QB Josh Rosen looked incredible in his first start vs UVA. They gotta be the early favorites to win the PAC 12.
7 Georgia Tech - Granted they played a dogshit team but does anybody see a team that can stop their triple option with Justin Thomas at QB? It's unstoppable. I fully expect them to run all over my Irish in 12 days.
6 Auburn - Jeremy Johnson looked terrible. The whole team played awful in the 2nd half vs Louisville. But they won and that's all that matters. They will get better as the season goes on.
5 Alabama - Bama destroyed Wisconsin which wasn't shocking. But they are so damn consistent and they know what they have to do to reach the playoffs.
4 Texas A&M - Honestly I thought Arizona State was going to blow them out but of course Vegas knows what they are talking about. The Aggies throttled a good Sun Devils team. Right now in the all too early top 10 the Aggies are the best team in the SEC and OMG Myles Garrett is a fucking beast.
3 Baylor - I've been saying it all offseason. Art Briles will get this Baylor team to the playoffs.
2 Notre Dame - The Fighting Irish fucking destroyed Texas 38-3 and dominated in all facets of the game. Malik Zaire looks like the real deal having won his first two starts vs LSU and now Texas. The win didn't come without a huge loss though as starting tailback Tarean Folston is done with a ACL tear.
1 Ohio St - The Buckeyes now have 3 Heisman candidates. Whoever starts at QB, Zeke Elliott and now Braxton Miller. Their schedule is a fucking joke till they play Michigan State in November. It would take a major fuck up for this team to lose before the playoffs.

Braxton Miller Pulls A Circle Button Video Game Move on Virginia Tech



I guess if you had any doubts about whether Braxton Miller could make the transition from QB to WR this ridiculous move erased those.  Braxton aka The X Factor pulled off an insane circle button move on the hapless Hokies defense last night that left some knees buckled and shoelaces untied.

Thanks to Braxton I lost my one bet of the weekend after going perfect from Thursday-Saturday.  For some reason I listened to Twitter nation and took the Hokies as 14.5 underdogs when I felt in my heart the Buckeyes would blow them out because of the revenge game factor.  First half the Twitter world was correct as Va Tech went into half up 17-14.  But as soon as the Buckeyes got their footing and knocked out QB Corey Brewer it was over.

Video of Tom Brady and Patriots Reacting to DeflateGate Suspension Overturned



The New England Patriots and Tom Brady just skull fucked the NFL and their commissioner Roger Goodell.  Just flat out took the DeflateGate suspension and told them to go fuck themselves.

Honestly I always thought the suspension was dumb.  I mean the whole time we are talking about football PSI.  Who gives a fuck?  The Patriots won the Super Bowl fair and square and now it just seems like everyone outside of Massholes wants to find a way they cheated to achieve their dynasty.  Newsflash the Patriots are just better.  Get over it.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!


Can. Not. Contain. Excitement.  

It's BACK....

ND QB Malik Zaire Talks About Being Consistent As The Key To A Successful 2015 Season

 
In other words don't turn the ball over like Everett Golson did 20 plus times last season.  If Malik Zaire can hit 60% of his passes or more while limiting his combined turnovers to single digits Notre Dame will make the playoffs.  Notre Dame has way too much talent and depth not to get through their schedule with one loss or less during the regular season.  Plus their offensive line is arguably the best in the nation while the defense returns plenty of starters including All-American candidates in Sheldon Day, Jaylon Smith, KeiVarae Russell and Max Redfield at all three levels of the defense.

P.S. - Is Jac Collingsworth the adopted son of KD Lang or the long lost love child of the Goo Goo Dolls lead singer?   I still haven't figured it out.  The kid does an excellent job with the interviews I must say though.

Notre Dame 2015 Shamrock Series Uniform and Helmet Revealed, Pre Order the Helmets Here














The annual tradition of Shamrock Series uniforms was revealed today at Notre Dame and with the game being in Fenway Park it was no surprise that green was the dominate color.  The helmet features the Fighting Irish leprechaun head on both sides of the gold helmet.  The facemask is two colored with the right side navy and the left side green.  The piping on the jersey looks sharp with navy and gold.  Overall I would rate it a solid B.  Not as good as the 2013 uniform which I still believe is by far the best but I think it still looks better than last years version.

As always we will have the helmets, both authentic versions and mini helmets, for sale in the near future.  If you want to pre order the helmet CLICK ON THIS LINK

The Irish Shuffle T Shirt

Notre Dame's Jaylon Smith & Ronnie Stanley are Featured on Sports Illustrated's College Football Preview Magazine



Well there you have it.  Why even play the games when Sports Illustrated already has you predicted to make the playoffs along with Ohio State, TCU and Auburn.  All Notre Dame has to do is show up and kick some ass against one of the nation's toughest schedules.  We all know 12-0 is going to happen for ND and I could see both Ohio State and Auburn in the playoffs too but I got Baylor beating TCU and securing the other spot.

But first the Irish gotta do one thing and one thing only: BEAT TEXAS!


And don't forget the Irish Shuffle shirt...

Giselle Bundchen Reminds Us Why We Should Not Feel Bad For Tom Brady and DeflateGate


Yeah he may be suspended 4 games for his deflated balls but he still has 4 SuperBowl Rings, a supermodel wife who makes twice as much as he does, and some adorable kids.  I think Tom Brady will survive this whole DeflateGate fiasco just fine.

Incoming Alabama Freshman QB Blake Barnett Casually Throws a 70 Yard Pass Through the Uprights


You may remember Blake Barnett from last year.  He was the #1 dual purpose QB who verbally committed to Notre Dame before flipping to Alabama.  Well Barnett has apparently been working with QB guru George Whitfield (yes the same guy who worked with Everett Golson during his academic suspension) and his arm strength is NOT going to be an issue when he gets to Tuscaloosa.

Check Out This Absurd Japanese Ballplayer Hitting Routine




I'm not 100% convinced this is real but holy shit it's funny.  This ballerina/ninja/samurai swordsman shit would never work here in the good ole US of A but I guess it's ok to do in Japan.  I don't even know how I would react if I was the pitcher and this asshole came to the plate.  Actually I do.  Let's just say wannabe Ichiro here would have a new neck tattoo featuring a deep red Rawlings stitches.
