But what all this boils down to is the fact that I fucking own you. What you should do is sit the fuck down, take off your gators sun glasses and listen to what im saying. Why? Because im fucking right, thats why. As soon as anything you say starts to come to reality, then we will talk.... but as for right now...you know what I say is true. You know that you care what I think about your program. Why? Because you know im right.

I TELL IT LIKE IT IS.... I hide no facts about what I believe to be the truth.


For now on, this is how it will go if you want me to talk to you or respond to your comments....You will say this.

Boom I know your right about everything you say about my team.... Will you please give me your thoughts on this Fill in the blank.





Boom I know you are right about everything you say about my team...will you please give me your thoughts on Ga Tech vs Miami?

Damn Boom, you have a little freaking army forming here every week.

Remember those of us who knew you when you were a little guy


You are really hurting my kid's feelings with this UF bashing, I am going to have to tell them they cannot read your column any longer

Covers should let boom have a special thread where only he is allowed to comment so we can easily read his thoughts about the upcoming games without having to browse through moronic-threadhijackers-Florida-backers-posts all over his valuable weekly thread.

Listen to what im telling you, im trying to make you all more college football educated

Its stupid crap like this that shows what a pompous ass you are. You are just a 30 year old geek that by the end of the year will be lucky to hit 50% and need to stop playing totals or it will be worse. You have some good insight on some games but good god you act like whatever you say is the law. Your top 10 give me a break.

Boom i dont post in these forums at all but do read the good cappers for insight. Only thing i really disagree with and i have to say this that rg3 is not the best qb in the country. That is Andrew Luck easy no question he is pro ready already and can make all the throws.

Ten Things we Learned 


1.  Champions of the world huh? Hows little brother now Michigan? Does it feel good to get your ass kicked 4 years in a row now? If there were ever any questions about if Michigan was " real " or not. They were answered yesterday. WTF were they doing with the play calling? I like Hoke and im a believer in what he does, but yesterday was a complete failure on his part. Are we about to see the year end Michigan tail spin?

2.  Lesson learned here on Covers. If I make a special thread about a game. Read it. I tend to get those right. I'm not tooting my own horn here....well maybe a little. Point is, Louisville played about exactly the way I thought they would. They actually had chances to win the game, but hey, in the world we live in it's all about the cover.

3.  I'm a fair guy. I've been on here for weeks now telling you how great RG3 is. Guess what? That won't stop either. The guy played out of his mind again yesterday. Baylor cant stop anybody and it's just killing them. RG3 is the best player in the country and it's a damn shame he wont win the Heisman because he plays on a piss poor defensive team. I know what your thinking. Whats this guys deal with RG3? The deal is hes the best QB in the country. End of discussion. Listen to what im telling you, im trying to make you all more college football educated.

4.  How good is this Clemson team? I'm being serious here. These guys just refuse to lose. Down 18 in the second half and they wont quit. Actually they come back and not only win but cover the spread and beat Maryland by double digits. I know you guys here in the south and on the east coast know who Sammy Watkins is. But the whole country needs to start paying attention. He IS the best true 18 year old freshman I have ever seen in my entire life. This Clemson offense is a machine. Where the hell are you guys that were giving me shit about Clemson not being able to cover against Maryland? How did that work out for you? Case Closed, I win...again.

5. I know you Florida fans are on your seat waiting for your weekly assessment from me about your gators. Yikes!! Holy shit can you get any worse. I knew you were bad but your taking it to a whole new level. When all of you were saying how great you were, it was me telling you how pedestrian you were. Well, how about it now. How about that Weis offense? Don't give me no shit about playing a back up QB. You were playing Auburn for goodness sake. you know, the worst defensive team in the country. Like I said, average at best.....maybe you make bowl game.

6.  What the hell is wrong with South Florida? Why is it these guys go into the tank after about 5 games every ever? I like Skip, but damn man. UCONN, maybe the worst team in the Big East pretty much had there way with them yesterday. I cant put a hand on it. If some of you can please come in here and tell me, cause I m lost on it. I know one thing tho, The Big East as a whole sucks ass.

7.  At the beginning of the season I told you all that no team would score more that 17 points on this Alabama defense. I also told you that this might be the greatest defense college football has ever seen. A lot of you laughed and said I was crazy. How about now? These guys are tremendous. Defensively I think there playing at a level that no other team can match other than LSU. The truth is IMO, LSU is still a full notch below this Alabama defense. But either way, when they play next month. First one to 10 wins...LOL

8.  How did Ohio S.T complete one pass and still beat Illinois? I had Ohio + the points so I like it. But, the offense is just awful and not creative at all. Why do these guys run HB dive every play? You can run zone read every now and then to mix it up. I know one thing, if the zookster couldn't beat this Ohio S.T team, he never will. I think it's safe to say Illinois is now off the hot teams list and now on the " oh yeah, there Illinois " list.

9.  I got to take my medicine here. I pumped up G.T and they let me down. Virginia? Really? Paul, WTF is going on my man? Your way better than Virginia. But you know what this proves? You have to play your best every week. You cant just show up and win. You have to treat every opponent like there best team you have faced. Well, unless your Florida and you cant score more than 6 points on the nations worst defense and shit don't matter what you do...LMAO. Seriously tho, we are at the point of the year where everyone says...WFT? I must remind you. This is college football, anything can happen. 

10.  My last point every week seems like it's a make you feel better segment. I don't know why I do that I just do. 7 weeks up, 7 weeks gone. I hope you all are doing well this season. Even the haters. I'm not one to pull against anybody, were all in this together. I think it's a good time to step back and evaluate what we've done right so far, and what we've done wrong so far. It's OK to question your self. it's what makes you stronger IMO. There is a lot of football yet to be played, I don't know about you...but I cant wait.


Picks later.....

Can you start changing these up a little? They were good early in the year but now it's basically the same thing every week. And no offense but Griffin III has been at Baylor for what seems like 20 years now. I don't think you were the first person to stumble on him as a senior. These went from you making good points to you telling us how you were right about the same five things every week. We get it. After six years at Baylor you invented Griffin III. Get back to making observations. This has turned into nothing more than grandstanding for your flock of sheep. Good luck this week.

Boom Boom, really like your candor.  Most people can't look at talent in their own back yard as objectively as you have.  And you've been right about your homies.  Just as I have been right about some things out here in the West where I live.  One of them was that the 1983 Fresno State men's basketball team, after being snubbed in the at-large seedings for the NCAA Championship (despite giving a Jerry Tarkanian-coached UNLV team a 25-point spanking) and was sent to the NIT, was absolutely going to win the NIT (which they did, beating Ray Meyer's Depaul team in the championship).  Like your love for Clemson, I have a love for Fresno State because I grew up near there and went to college there, getting to watch Cal head coach Jeff Tedford throw to illustrious pro receivers Henry Ellard and Stephone Paige, and I can admit weakness when I see it (which is why last week I was all over Boise State, but this week had my 'Dogs against Utah State).  I also remember telling everyone who would listen that Cal's 1992 basketball team (they had some guy named Jason Kidd for point guard, maybe you've heard of him) was going to take down the mighty Duke, and they did.  I love that you are both a fan and also an astute capper all at the same time.  I was wondering if you would like some knowledge of other conferences out here in the West.  I would be happy to give you some insight.  I of course am especially good with WAC games.  Here was what I predicted last week:  San Jose would cover a +6 spread against Hawaii and was correct, Nevada would cover a -30 spread against New Mexico and was correct, New Mexico State would cover a -1 spread against Idaho and was correct, and Fresno State would cover a +3.5 spread against Utah State and was correct.  4-0 in the WAC, but of course this is not every week or I wouldn't be here talking with everyone.  But I have a fairly good eye, and would be happy to share anything I know or see with you to pass on to all your followers.  As a show of good faith, I will say that my WAC pick of the week is Utah State vs. Louisiana Tech, Utah State to cover -6.5 points at home.  If this wins, and you are interested to learn more, let me know.  If my pick pans out and you want to know more, become a "friend" and send me a private message.  Good luck this week, you're genuine which I can tell even when you have a less-than-desirable week on your picks.

   RG III is a redshirt junior, excels in the classroom, (3.5 GPA) and takes Latin, yeah Latin, for his foreign language of choice.  More important, he says by all means he'll return for one more year, while he's finishing his masters.  He missed almost an entire season, so to say it seems like he's been there 20 years is laughable. Right now very few, if any student atheletes in NCAAF can come close to this guy.  Just giving credit where credits due and correcting a few of your misconceptions.  BOL

H33....you know why I know you care so much about what I say? Cause you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what I say next. You dont have to read my shit.... No one is making you. But you choose to. Why? Because what I say is the truth and your so entertained by it that you have become obssesed with it.

I guess you and pony are wheels followers.

Boom... that kid at clemson is good but have u been watching DeAnthony Thomas at Oregon? That kid is a freak...



There is one thing that most of you guys know about me. I'm not going to complain. Yes I did lose some really heart breaking plays yesterday, but hell, that's what this is at times. I'm not going to get into all of those games but like I say, take the good with the bad. Lets move on focus and keep our eyes forward instead of behind us. Losing 6 units yesterday hurt, but like I tell people all the time. Forget about it and move on. You know why it doesn't bother me? Because as I've said many times. I have a plan and I will be successful for the long haul. Get ready!!!! I got some good thoughts on this past week.
