Hey Boom, Great week my man.

Nice Calls on USC and Baylor. Got burnt on both..

Love Arkansas and Auburn this week. Could see any of the top dogs losing. I Think we're witnessing something special. This could be the year that the BCS finally comes to bite the NCAA in the ass. I'm praying, praying, praying for there to be even more chaos, so we can finally get the playoff everyone is clamoring for. 

Either way, the BCS is here for the year, and I was curious as to if you have any thought about how this whole mess turns out.

BOOM love the picks... few things i gotta get off my chest too. Disappointed in the Tigers this week and thought we might slip up in this one.  Definitely didn't think it would be that bad though haha.  

If we dont refocus after this we never will.  And now USC thinks we're a pushover.  No way they think we're legit.  Offense and defense are going to be pissed off.  If we come out flat vs USC then we just plain out suck right now.  I think this game vs NC ST may have been what Clemson and the youngsters needed.  We will hear coaches speak all week long etc, but none of it means anything just like this week didn't for us.  We come back and play like Champions and get our swagger back or we may be on the way to losing out and finishing 9-5.  I just dont see this team letting what they have accomplished this season slip away like that.  GO Tigers!  Hope I am right but I think USC thinks they're gonna beat our ass now and we come bounce back strong and a lot more intensity

One thing that does worry me is the injuries to our offensive line though.  South Carolina is a team where you cannot afford to have backup O-LINEMAN out on the field.  But the good news is USC is also very banged up.  USC's Demario Jeffrey at the spur position is out now.  He is a pretty good player but was already playing in the place of starter Allen who is out for the season.  Clowney has a slight concussion and will probably play but would bet he is not at full strength.  Holloman also had a concussion and their Linebackers are kind of banged up too.  Hopefully this gives us some breathing room in the passing game but we need our Lineman to GET HEALTHY and for once in the past month play with INTENSITY!  If we can get the offense rolling again and get Tahj some breathing room i think we can win this game by 10.  No one can argue against the fact that USC's success has come from defense this year.  Their offense has been pathetic so far in regards to scoring points consistently.  My main concerns are costly turnovers turning into points for the GCocks

Probably the quote of the week..

Good grief what happened to your tigers this past weekend?  You called it, that is for sure.  I really thought your boys had turned the corner but looks like they still haven't gotten over the hump yet.  No action on the game thankfully (since I would have played Clemson had I did), but boy was I surprised at the 'who cares' attitude.  Perhaps they spent Friday night watching a rerun of Auburn traveling to face uga.

Actually I take that back I did play ncst 2h & ncst 2h ML.  50yd td on 4th & 18 at end of game killed my chance to really clean up on that 2nd half ML.

Guys I'm going to tell you right now that Arky +14 is the biggest sucker line I've seen lately.  Oddsmakers aren't stupid and didn't make a mistake.  Razorbacks catching 2 TD's with their passing game LOOKS WAY TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

LSU is going to roll in this one.

I've also changed my tune on uga after watching them play Kentucky this past weekend.  The dawgs have benefited tremendously from a super easy SEC schedule and the SEC east is garbage this year.  My AU tigers for goodness sake have beaten s.car and uf and we are nowhere near the caliber of team LSU has this year.

uga will have their hands full this weekend screwing around with georgia tech's triple option and will come riding high into the georgia dome believing they can upset lsu only to get their ass handed to them.  I know they were somewhat flat and didn't expect them to get 'up' for kentucky, but I watched kentucky's defense bitchslap the dawgs around all game on Saturday.  If kentucky had any offense at all they win that game.  lsu's defense is going to have murray dazed and confused.

I agree that LSU is going to stomp all over the Razorbacks. The line looks to good to be true. I think that LSU defense is going to SHUT DOWN the passing attack. And their offense lead by Jefferson should be able to score enough points on to cover. Just my opinion. As a fan, I would like to see ARKY cover!

Good work last week Boom. I knew you was headed for a bounce back week. I was staying away from the Oregon/USC game but you took USC and USC never looked back after dominating Oregon at home so I'm going to give you props for that one. They say the average handicapper wins 55% of the time and so far your doing good with with 57%. Its crazy but the law of averages always works. Sooner or later you will even out or be around the average.

Georgia fans dont know it yet... but they will struggle mightily this weekend trying to stop that option.

Boom... I heard a Boom all the way here in Thailand, and it wasn't the girl from the bar. It was Clemson getting embarrassed like that. However, I will trade their worst game of the year to save themselves and shut these Cock fans up. Nooooo way we lose 3 in a row to them. They haven't done that to us,unlike us doing it to them, in a loooong time.

Anyway, great picks this past week. Good to know I can pull in some Benjamins thousands of miles away. Love we are getting +4 this week. Jumped on that quickly before it shrinks to 3 or under, which I think it will. Interested to see what you think of the VA / VA Tech game. Thought VA would play FSU tough and cover, which was an easy pick for me. Just not sure if they have enough to pull two upsets in a week. Like you, would rather see the Tigers play them than a rematch with the Hokies
