Week 2
Hola freakitos. Here we are at the second week of the college football season. Thoughts on last week's games:
1. Who knew that my beloved Hurricanes would be involved in the best game of the week? I guess I should not be surprised because any time Miami and Florida State play it's always fun. The only difference between this year and the last 3 is that they both had an offense this time around.
2. The tradition continues with your Chica lacking any ability to successfully prognosticate. The good thing is I do not make a living predicting game winners....oh wait, that's not a good thing. Can someone please answer my plea and find me a full-time job doing this stuff???
3. BYU upset Oklahoma! It was kind of an ugly game as there was very little offense and Sam Bradford was hurt but it was an upset nonetheless; God knows we do love an upset on the Sportschica site.
4. Charleston Southern almost beat Florida. HA, just kidding. I'm going to continue to put this kind of rubbish here until Florida plays a worthy opponent. The good news for Gator fans: Tim Tebow has not ascended back to heaven yet.
5. And finally, Legarrett Blount from Oregon was suspended for the entire season for punching the country freak from Boise State. Here's my thing, I think the dude who taunted him (insert his name here) should have also received a minimum one game suspension for acting like a dang fool!
Okay, on to this week's picks; this week I'm only listing the games that are on my pool and based on the spread (except for the Thursday game). Again, if you disagree with my picks, PLEASE LET A CHICA KNOW! I need all the help I can get.
Thursday
Clemson vs #15 Georgia Tech - Dudes, GT is going to run all over Clemson. Clemson has their own great running back, CJ Spiller, but in the end Tech wins with that blasted triple option. Pick: GT
Saturday
Syracuse vs #7 Penn St - The spread is PSU by 28.5. Penn St beat Akron by only 24 points last week, I have to think that Syracuse can put up a few points on the Nittany Lions. Pick: Syracuse (Remember, I am picking the spread, freaks!)
#18 Notre Dame vs Michigan - ND by 3.5 is the spread. I'm torn with this one but I'm going to go with the nasty Irish. Pick: ND
#16 TCU vs Virginia - The spread is TCU by 11. TCU all the way. The ACC is weak and Virginia is one of the teams dragging the conference to the bottom...hell, they couldn't even beat a Div 1-AA school last week. Pick: TCU. By the way, I know it is no longer called Div 1-AA but I refuse to call it by its new name.
UCLA vs Tennessee - The spread is UT by 8. I'm going to go with UT since they're home and UCLA is just not good! Pick: Tenn
South Carolina vs #21 Georgia - The spread is GA by 7. LAST week I picked GA to cover the spread and they jacked me so because of the jacked-up-ness, I'm going with the Cocks. Pick: S. Carolina
#3 USC vs #8 Ohio State - The spread is USC by 7.
Uuuuuggggghhhhh. Ohio St BARELY beat Navy last week. Poor pitiful Navy, they are so horribly bad, and yet, OSU only beat them by 4 points. Pick: USC
Well, that's it for the picks. Look for la Chica at the Dolphins vs Falcons game this Sunday. I will be in the Georgia Dome in full Dolphin garb so check me out! Thanks to my buddy Tamera for the awesome tickets....Go Sparty.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year....
Hola Football Freaks! Wow, is it just me or does it seem like the college football season ended 12 years ago? It's agony for those of us who love our sport but alas, we are at the inception of another glorious football season.
By the by, your sportschica is working on a brand new website (well actually, my dear friend Mindy P-A-R-K-E-R is working on it for me) that should be ready in the next few days. Be on the lookout for it and I will also obnoxiously notify you as well. With that said, let's get it going.....welcome to the most wonderful time of the year.
As usual, the first weekend brings with it a lot of boring lopsided games, however, there are a few that should be fun and interesting to watch and here they are:
Thursday
#16 Oregon vs #14 Boise State - Yes, la Chica is adding a Pac 10 vs WAC game in the first weekend; it's the first day of the season, officially, so what the heck. This game should be packed with a lot of offense and you know that's the way I like it. Pick: Oregon
Saturday
#13 Georgia vs #9 Oklahoma St - Kudos to UGA for having notable non-conference games 2 years in a row now and for also traveling outside of the southeast again! It's too bad the rest of the SEC doesn't do this...i.e. Florida! Go ahead, send your hate comments. Pick: For me this is a tough pick but I will go with the home team and pick OSU.
Charleston Southern vs #1 Florida - JUST KIDDING! Everyone knows what will happen here.
#20 BYU vs #3 Oklahoma - Some people are saying the Sooners will not even cover the spread (21.5) which by the way, is important for me due to my pool that I've joined again this season. More on that in a later post. Pick: OU (I would love an upset though!)
#5 Alabama vs #7 Virginia Tech - This game is in Atlanta on Saturday night so for those of you in the area, check it out. My favorite group, Collective Soul, is doing a free concert in Centennial Olympic Park afterwards. This game could go either way as well, Bama has lost a lot of players from last year's team including their hottie QB, John Parker Wilson. On the flip side, VT's main running back Darrell Evans is out so.....what's a Chica to do??? Pick: VT (for my ACC friends)
#8 Ole Miss vs Memphis - This game is on here this week not because I am interested but because Ole Miss is ranked #8, FREAKS! My buddy Pete is a huge Rebels fan so this is for you dude. I hope your team does well this year; they've sucked for a thousand years so let's give them a break, right? Pick: Ole Miss
Monday
Miami vs #18 FSU - Um, for those of you who read my blog last year (thank you!), my sentiments are pretty much going to be the same this year.....lots of prayers going out to my fellow Cane peeps. Dear Lord, just help us get through this season without losing our DAMN MINDS! The Canes' schedule is brutal and if they can go 2-2 to start the season, la Chica will do just about anything for celebration (keeping it PG freaks). Pick: This is a rivalry game so anything can happen but I am a realist and will therefore choose FSU.
That completes the picks for this week. My format will change next week as I go back to picking based on the spread for my pool; it's fun and you know it. Have a great holiday weekend freakitos and God bless college football.

Canes and Dolphins
Hola freakitos. I've been absent from my blog as I have been traveling a lot for work lately but I am back on here now.
How about my Canes and Dolphins? I know that as soon as I write anything about them they are gonna suck it up for me but I am very proud. Both of my squads had horrible seasons last year so this turnaround is amazing.
Look for me at the Miami/Ga Tech game tomorrow evening here in Atlanta. I have a feeling I'm going to come away disappointed; I just don't feel that Miami can stop that freakin' triple option offense that Tech runs but we'll see.
The Dolphins play New England on Sunday so both my boys have huge games this week. I'll be praying and hoping!!
Ciao for now freaks!

Monday Thoughts
Another weekend gone by too quickly my freakitos. The main thing I want to discuss is Tommy Bowden's firing at Clemson; am I shocked? Absolutely not. I know expectations are high these days but how many years has Clemson been picked to either win the ACC or compete for it yet how many years have they disappointed their alumni and fans? That falls on the head coach!
I have a question for my fellow Cane fans: if Clemson and Auburn can just up and fire their head coach and offensive coordinator respectively during the middle of the season, why can't Miami fire Patrick Nix?! Good grief he is a horrible coordinator and it's making Randy Shannon look like an even worse head coach. I'M JUST SAYIN'!
The Dolphins lost in a heartbreaker; this seems to be the theme for my teams.
How about New England? I'm so glad they suck!
Texas is ranked number 1....thoughts? Regardless, what a fun game that was to watch? On another note, how boring was the LSU/Fla game? LSU never showed up and got blown away...wow.
Gotta run freakitos, stay tuned for my picks! Ciao.
