NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

First off, I think New Year's resolutions are stupid. Every year I've wished my little Irish/Scottish fella would grow out to be a deadly python so I could wear really short bicycle shorts to the gym and work out in front of the ladies and see their faces. But it hasn't come true so seriously what is the point.

Maybe drink a little less. Haha, yeah right, not with the way my Baltimore Orioles and Notre Dame Fighting Irish have played recently. If anything with the Orioles again sucking nuts and Notre Dame losing studs like Omar Hunter to Urban Liar it is just another reason to drink the pain away. Maybe I could lose a few pounds but what is the point since I'm getting married. I can blow up and still get laid. Oh I know what would be a great resolution: make this blog funny. I'll try and make it funny without all the pissing and moaning and fart and poop jokes. I'll keep the porn though guys.

Anyways, Happy New Year's to all of you Sportscrack Heads. Leave your resolution on the comment section if you dare.

2008 Sugar Bowl Championship Gear
Hey Dawgs fans, celebrate the royal ass kicking from yesterday's Sugar Bowl Championship with the official gear from the game. Go to the Sportscrack Store Page to get the shirts, hats and even the official DVD of the game. Watch Colt Brennan get destroyed over, and over, and over again up close. Trust me it will never get old to see the Dawgs on DVD running all over the Hawaii Warriors.

BONERAMA PLAYS NATIONAL ANTHEM
Only a city like New Orleans and a station with the moral ineptitude of Fox would decide to let a band called Bonerama play the National Anthem before the Sugar Bowl last night. Being the degenerate I am I must admit I love the name of the band and applaud Fox for the pick of the bonerific group. I also thought it was pretty amusing to see Jimmy Johnson get a chuckle when Chris Rose announced who the band was. Here is the clip you bonerheads...


HT: AwfulAnnouncing

MARCUS THOMAS IN HAWAI'I NOW MEANS
The baddest most brutal force to hit the Big Island since that shitty Ben Affleck movie...

This sack hurt Colt Brennan so bad it actually made him cry. Seriously, I'm not fucking around, the guy was crying on the sidelines. Apparently his vagina was swollen from Dawg bites.

WOW! URBAN MEYER IS A DICK!
Here are some direct quotes from Urban Liar after today's loss to Michigan in the Capital One Bowl in which he completely throws some of his players under the bus, runs over them, and makes sure to back up in the process. This is from the PalmBeachPost.com...

"We thought we had some answers early in the season," said Meyer, "and some of those young guys didn't live up to the standards we've set. Our goal is to be the New England Patriots of college football."

"Well, for those guys who just put in their time and didn't make any real contributions, it's time for you to go. It won't be hard to say goodbye to some of those guys who just went through the motions. Now for those kids who actually bought into the program, and who made some sacrifices and contributions -- you know, like Bubba Caldwell....he's a graduate of UF and had a great career -- you'll really miss those guys. But just because you're a senior doesn't mean you have any value."

It's good to know that the players who don't cut it in Meyer's eyes are viewed as garbage and a waste for Florida's program. I couldn't imagine playing my ass off for a guy like that who basically tells you to go fuck off because you don't play as well as Tim Tebow or Percy Harvin. It's one thing to go to the player and tell him you want more out of him but it is a whole other thing to kick a guy on their way out and tell them they don't have "any value" to your program.

Congratulations Urban! You are the current #1 horse for biggest dick in college football for 2008.

HOCKEY IN THE SNOW: B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L

While I think it was pretty idiotic for the NHL to schedule this game during all the January 1st bowl games, I must admit that I turned it on and watched a lot of the game on NBC. Seeing hockey played outside in the snow is right up there with watching midget pudding wrestling in Mexico. Okay, maybe the pudding makes it a little more arousing to some but you get my point. If you don't go to Juarez to the Pequeno Midgeto Cantina. It's worth the tequila and the ensuing blackout.

SUGAR BOWL PREDICTION
I've been going back and forth on this game more often than a drunk with a weak bladder but have finally come up with a solid prediction. In the one corner you have the crazy Island people who love to surf and catch the sun while playing with some of the best offensive players in the country including a quarterback who has shattered numerous NCAA records on the way to a perfect 12-0 season. In the other corner you have the laid back Georgian team which outfits athletes at every position who come into the Sugar Bowl contest as one of the hottest teams in the nation thanks to the outstanding play of RB "Special K"nowshon Moreno.

We know the Hawaii offense can put up a lot of points with June Jone's Run n' Shoot offense but will they be able to handle the depth the Dawgs bring into the game that can essentially wear them down in the latter stages of the ball game?

NOPE.

The Dawgs are going to come out with their ears pinned back early in the game and will constantly blitz to see how the Hawaii offense adjusts to their stunts. Whether or not Colt Brennan can pick up the blitzes will determine how long Hawaii "hangs" in this game. Brennan has had nagging injury problems throughout this season and I can see one coming up soon.

The other quarterback on the field, Matthew Stafford, will look to stay away from the costly turnovers a young QB is prone to have in a big bowl game. With numerous starts under his belt and his confidence growing, Stafford should have a decent game when all is said and done. RB Thomas Brown will step up to team with Moreno to provide a potent running attack that will keep the ball out of the hands of Brennan and company.

In what will be an up and down first half with plenty of scoring in the SuperDome, the Dawgs will simply out muscle and out man a Hawaii team with aspirations of winning their first BCS game in the second half.

PREDICTION: GEORGIA 38 HAWAII 28

JANUARY 1ST PREDICTIONS
It's 2008 and it's time to get some college football predictions out of the way. So put down the Natty Light and put away the glass sculpture you sexual deviant and take a peek inside these picks.

WISCONSIN VS. TENNESSEE: Erik Ainge will finally play his last game of what seems like his 30 year career for the Vols. Too bad he again chokes the chicken during clutch time.
Prediction: Wisconsin 31 Tennessee 20

MISSOURI VS. ARKANSAS: D-MAC'S last game for the Razorbacks should be a memorable one for himself personally. Unfortunately for the Razorback faithful a game without a head coach is a lame duck team for the most part. Chase Daniel makes himself an early favorite for the 2008 Heisman.
Prediction: Missouri 42 Arkansas 28

MICHIGAN VS. FLORIDA: Seriously, how in the fuck's name did Lloyd Carr win the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award? That is like giving an Oscar to Brendan Fraser. This is a classic SEC vs. Big Ten battle in which Michigan is totally overmatched.
Prediction: Florida 31 Michigan 17

TEXAS TECH VS. VIRGINIA: I really don't give a shit and could care less about watching these two teams play.
Prediction: Texas Tech 42 Virginia 31

ILLINOIS VS. USC: This match up blows donkey dick but those rich pricks at the Rose Bowl committee get their desired wet dream of a Big Ten vs. Pac-10 game. The Fighting Zooks will give it their all but the Killing OJ's will wear them down with their borderline good/great defense.
Prediction: USC 24 Illinois 10

GEORGIA VS. HAWAII COMING UP!

RED HEADED STEPCHILD TOUCHES BALL, NATION WATCHES
If you watched last night's Holiday Bowl on ESPN you would have seen Mack Brown's stepson Chris Jessie make one of the all-time bonehead moves on the sideline. The Longhorns were about to recover a fumble when all hell broke loose. In Texas it was proclaimed "what in Bevo's t-bone fuck are you doing?" while the rest of the nation watched and wondered who the hell the guy was and why was he on the sideline if nobody could identify him.

Here is the video:


Umm, yeah, I don't think Jessie will be allowed anywhere near a sideline for the next 9 months. Good God, we have to wait another 9 torturous painful months till college football kicks off it's 2008 season. Anyways, Texas won the game. I'm not sure what it means since it's another Bowl game with really no significant meaning other than a "hey let's get shitfaced in San Diego and destroy their women" type of night for both the Longhorns and SunDevils. Actually that sounds like a win-win situation to me but I'm a semi-functional alcoholic.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!
I hope all of you got something special for Christmas. If not then here is mine for all of you, Merry Christmas!


A lot more posts will be on the way as I preview the upcoming Bowl games.

ROGER CLEMENS: GREAT PITCHER, DECENT LIAR

This video was released today on Roger Clemen's foundation website and I must say the guy refuses to go down without a fight. Of course he won't sue anybody or actually display any evidence of him being a saint during his playing career but he will continue to deny, deny, and again deny he did anything wrong. He is as defiant as Barry Bonds and unfortunately he thinks we are morons who can be persuaded to believe his lies. His arrogance is laughable.

Clemen's refusal to acknowledge his guilt is eerily similar to Pete Rose. Both guys should be in the Hall of Fame but both essentially fucked it up by lying to the public and themselves. At least some guys are being some what honest about their wrong doing and taking responsibility for their actions. With Clemens we will never get it until about 15 years down the road when he realizes he can make some money from a book about the real story of his drug use.

I can already see the title: "ROCKET FUEL."

What a dick!

BUSH HOLIDAY GREETING

COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS BACK
I know the game between Navy and Utah tonight means little if you didn't bet on the game but I did. I got the line at -7.5 in favor of Utah. I think with Paul Johnson leaving Navy to take the Georgia Tech job it pretty much makes Utah an overwhelming favorite to blow out the Naval Academy. Listen, I root for Navy to win all the time except when they play Notre Dame and even I think they are going to get their asses handed to them.

So take Utah with the points tonight. They are going to crush Navy by at least two touchdowns and a field goal. If they don't I will have to find a Mormon and make them drink a 12 pack of Cokes for their transgressions.

I think I found my victim!

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYERS MAKE OUT IN BOWL GAMES
The picture above was a give away for the Hurricanes back in the late 80's. No wonder there is so much lobbying going on for the big BCS games and bitching when they don't make it. Forget the money involved, what about the gifts the players get in their goody bag?

Look at what Navy and Utah players get for tonight's meaningless Poinsettia Bowl:

Gifts: Sony PSP Slim, case, Madden NFL 08, Fossil watch, Champion sweatshirt, cap

I'm sure they left off the free hookers and blow because of the sticky IRS issues.

Now look at what LSU and Ohio State players get for the BCS Championship Bowl:

Gifts: Nintendo Wii, Madden NFL 08 and two additional games, Majestic fleece pullover, New Era cap

Dude, you know parents are killing baby seals right now in order to get the Wii for their children and these fuckers get it for free.

I feel bad for the poor College Football players. It must suck to get free stuff and have hot chicks wanting to lick your balls at all times.

OMAR HUNTER LOOKING ELSEWHERE?
For those of you not familiar with Omar Hunter he is a 310 pound beast of a defensive tackle from Duluth, GA. Currently he is the 2nd rated defensive tackle in the country and is committed to Charlie Weis and Notre Dame. Yes, the same Notre Dame who is losing Trevor Laws to the NFL Draft and would seem to have an open spot for the heralded recruit to start right away. This is from today's AJC...

Hunter rethinking commitment to Irish

By BRIAN COSTA
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 12/19/07
Buford defensive tackle Omar Hunter is having second thoughts about his commitment to Notre Dame, his coach said Wednesday.

Coach Jess Simpson said Hunter has not withdrawn his commitment to the Irish - yet. But he is giving strong consideration to both Florida and Southern California - with Florida being the more likely alternative to Notre Dame, Simpson said.

"I think he wants to take the holidays and reconsider things," Simpson said, "and possibly take a visit to Florida and [USC]."

The Irish just completed their worst year in school history, finishing 3-9. That's not the kind of season Hunter is used to, having just led Buford (15-0) to the Class AA championship. But Simpson said Notre Dame's 2007 performance is not Hunter's main concern.

"I don't think it was so much the season they had," he said. "I think he's just starting to reconsider where he's going to school and how far away it is and the weather and the climate, and how easy it is for his family to come see him."

There has never been a shortage of interest in Hunter, who is rated the second-best high school defensive tackle in the country by Scout.com. The 6-foot-1, 311-pound senior committed to Notre Dame in June, but has apparently become less certain in recent months.

Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis tried to firm up Hunter's commitment last week with a personal visit to Buford. And later in the week, USC coach Pete Carroll also showed up, urging Hunter to take another trip out west.

Hunter, who could not be reached for comment, did not have any visits planned as of Wednesday. He visited Florida and USC before committing to the Irish, and has enough time to see both schools again if he wants before signing a letter of intent in February.

"It's a good problem to have," Simpson said.

So now it appears "King O" as his teammates and friends call him is looking elsewhere with a little over a month remaining till National Signing Day. In the past couple of months Hunter has made it clear that he is 100% committed to the Irish. Now it appears he is having second thoughts with two great coaches in Urban Meyer and Pete Carroll circling the Duluth recruit and smelling blood.

If Notre Dame loses out on Hunter it would be a big loss to the current #1 ranked recruiting class. Hunter is one of 5 defensive linemen expected to come in the current class and compete for immediate playing time. And yes, Hunter is by far the best of them and most dominating in my opinion. This should make for an interesting month to see where Hunter decides to play his college ball. My fingers are crossed he remains committed to Notre Dame and just takes a visit to Florida with his teammate T.J. Pridemore and views it as a free vacation and nothing more.

Yeah, I know, wishful thinking on my part.

RANDOM JOKE
Leaving the poker party, late as usual, two friends compared notes. "I can never fool my wife," the first complained. "I turn off the car’s engine and coast into the garage, take off my shoes, sneak upstairs, and undress in the bathroom. But she always wakes up and yells at me for being out so late and leaving her alone."

"You’ve got the wrong technique, my friend," his buddy replied. "I roar into the garage, slam the door, stomp up the steps, rub my hand on my wife’s ass, and ask, ’How ’bout a little?’ and she pretends to be asleep."

TO DOESN'T LIKE JESSICA SIMPSON
Oh man, this is going to get really interesting in Dallas. You knew it was just a matter of time before Terrell Owens completely destroyed the locker room chemistry. And now he is doing it for the Cowboys. This might get as exciting as watching Britney Spears and her family destroy people's views on Southerners. Owens had some choice words for Simpson and Carrie Underwood:

"Right now, Jessica Simpson is not a fan favorite in this locker room or in Texas Stadium," T.O. said. "I think with everything that has happened, and obviously the way Tony played and the comparison between her and Carrie Underwood, I think a lot of people feel like she's probably taking his focus away.

"Other than that, she was at the top of my list until last week."

Romo didn't make his usual Wednesday appearance in the locker room, so we didn't have a chance to get his reply to T.O.'s concern about Ms. Simpson. And T.O. isn't done dealing with her, either.

"I've got a message for her when we make the playoffs," T.O. said. "Just stay tuned."

I know what you are thinking. Big fucking deal if TO doesn't like her. Personally I don't give a shit but I can't wait to see how TO completely destroys the Cowboys SuperBowl chances by getting in pissing arguments with his quarterback.

Stay tuned.
