Not that a lot of you care, but the Clemson/Alabama game is at the Georgia Dome and not Death Valley this Saturday night.
I'll say this again, I'm really looking forward to this game. I hope Clemson doesn't pull their usual choke job!

That Time of the Year
Hola Freaks! It's that time of the year again so most of us are so happy. I'm so ready to bid farewell to summer and bring on the crispy Saturdays of fall. BRING IT!
With that said, I've been out of the loop due to the day job but here are the picks for next week's games. I know, it's a bit early but I need to do it while the doing it is good. I'm going to change it up during the season and maybe add a little "spread" but for this first entry, let's just do it the good ole fashioned way.
I'm going to warn you, the pickings are slim. It's the first weekend of the year and every team is playing a weak-ass opponent and I'm not going to waste my time surveying those games. Here are 3 games I am interested in and of these 3, only 2 involved teams that are both ranked.
Saturday
#24 Alabama vs #9 Clemson - This game should be awesome. It's in Death Valley and for those of you who have been to a game at Clemson, you know it is louder than hell up in there! I hope Clemson doesn't lay a fat egg and choke as they normally do. I hate Alabama and I hate their coach so for that reason alone, I'm pulling for the Tigers! Clemson wins (I hope). 8:00 on ABC
#20 Illinois vs #6 Missouri - No, these are not typos, yes both Illinois and Missouri are ranked in the top 25 to begin the season. One wonders how upside down the universe is when these 2 loser teams are ranked and meanwhile, my beloved Hurricanes might lose to Charleston-Southern.....sigh. I don't care about this game in the slightest but I'm going to pick Mizzou. 8:30 on ESPN
Monday
#18 Tennessee vs UCLA - There are many things that I love about the opening weekend of college football but in the last couple of years, the main thing is that there is at least one game on each night starting on the Thursday before the first weekend.....God bless this wonderful country. The Vols should destroy UCLA but it will be fun to watch the Bruins and their new coach Rick Neuhisel. I know I completely butchered the spelling of his last name but you know who I'm talking about. Going with Tennessee on this one. 8:00 on ESPN

Favre to NYC!
Evening sports freakitos. It's been awhile! I'm in Chicago for work but I couldn't resist writing this entry.
It's almost mid August and we all know that means football is right around the corner; I'm going to put together an entry on the preseason college polls but what do you guys think about Georgia getting a number 1 ranking? Is it deserved? Is this finally Georgia's year (hell it's been 28!)? Or, is this preseason ranking the kiss of death? I can't wait to find out.
Now, we'll discuss all that later but as you guys have heard by now, Brett (1 t or 2?) Favre is headed back to the NFL to the NY Jets! Unbelieveable.
Thoughts? Of course, now we have to continue to hear about whether or not he's going to retire after this season or if he's coming back. Or, if he retires, if he's going to come back after he retires. Or, if he doesn't retire, will he retire, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH! I'm so sick of it.
