Week 8

 

Florida State - North Carolina

Tom - My god what a showcase game for the ACC! The Leningrad Cowboys should be doing those ACC commercials. Heels WRONG!

Kevin - UNC employees are sent home early without pay to clear out the parking lots for the first ever Thursday night tailgating in Chapel Hill. They'll be pleased to know they are doing all this to allow 2 winless-in-the-ACC teams go at it on the field. Adding insult to injury, the other winless-in-the-ACC team across the sidelines won't even be the Pack. 'Why bother?', indeed. Noles finally come out ahead as they make a play at Tampa given no one else in the Atlantic wants it.

Jay - North Carolina. WRONG!

Vip - This year's "Dashed Expectations" Bowl. UNC has been more horrid lately. F$U wins 16-14.

Ivan - geronimo!

Paul - How bad are things at F$U? Bad enough that the Heeliban can beat them. WRONG!

Curmudgeon - FSU has an offense and no defense. UNC has a defense and no offense. Who to choose. Florida State

John - Papa Bowden abuses baby blues

Jim - Boy, does this game show off the ACC, or what? Get your tickets now. Noles win.

 

 

Georgia Tech - Virginia

Tom - This would certainly be an opportune time for algroh to prove he can actually coach against a decent team. hoos WRONG!

Kevin - algroh's new Russian-made special-order 2009 Virginia Tech calendars arrive just in time in the mail. As prearranged, each month has an aerial shot of the picturesque Tech Golf Course just above the word "October". Hokie fans in the vicinity do their part in the off week by gobbling up tickets and cheering against GIT. It works. Mr. October needs an extension before he turns into a pumpkin in a mere 7 days. WRONG!

Jay - Georgia Tech

Vip - If you predicted two months ago that this game would be for first place in the Coastal, go to the head of the class---and give me some tips on the Lottery. GT wins 44-20.

Ivan - gits.

Paul - Georgia Tech stops the Hoo train.

Curmudgeon - A man can dream and throw up at the same time, can't he. Virginia WRONG!

John - Jackets continue to roll - Groh'ns are heard from Hooville

Jim - Dare we to dream? Hoos win. WRONG!

 

 

Clemson - Miami
Experts Busted!

Tom - The Tigers could also do us a huge favor but they won't. Canes WRONG!

Kevin - Don't forget Hokie fans, we need this Coastal team to now keep winning in order to maintain the needed "3 way tie" in the conference. Oh, the lunacy of it all. The Coastal domination continues here. WRONG!

Jay - Miami WRONG!

Vip - Miami wins 31-17. WRONG!

Ivan - sugar grass. WRONG!

Paul - Miami keeps the Coastal interesting. WRONG!

Curmudgeon - We'll see if Miami has what it takes. Miami WRONG!

John - Miami looks better as the season progresses - Clem, not so much so. Miasma WRONG!

Jim - Dare we to dream II? Nope. Canes win. WRONG!

 

 

Maryland - Duke
Experts WIN!

Tom - Is Duke on a roll? Wally Wade rocks. Devils

Kevin - "Best football team in the Triangle". Like that tag ever meant something anyways. Still, that's enough here, as long as strange and confusing alternate "Titanic" clips don't somehow make it from Cameron over to the Wallace Wade Jumbotron. The Dookies heart will go on.

Jay - Duke

Vip - Duke is the favorite? Against a 1-A school? Wow. Dukies win 17-13.

Ivan - deuk of death.

Paul - I can't believe I'm typing this. Duke

Curmudgeon - Duke makes turtle soup out of Testuto. Duke

John - This is probably a close game - go with Duke

Jim - Break up the Devils! Duke wins.

 

 

Boston College - Notre Dame

Tom - The Eagles wad has been shot. Irish

Kevin - We've seen Fredo on the road before. They lose again.

Jay - Notre Dame

Vip - How many hail marys will be uttered in this one? How many will be sent up to heaven by Fat Charlie? NbcD wins 33-30.

Ivan - touchdown dzesus.

Paul - Neuter Dome

Curmudgeon - As usual, I'm going to be wrong, but can't pick ND. Boston College WRONG!

John - The Lame just have too much this year - ND wins

Jim - The Eagles used to always win this game. Not anymore. Irish win.

 

 

Wake Forest- Navy

Tom - Wake is better. Deacs WRONG!

Kevin - We've seen Wake on the road before. They lose again.

Jay - Navy

Vip - Wake laid a big giant turd last week. Navy sinks 'em, 28-20.

Ivan - hell, this is like, wow! hmmm... goats.

Paul - This game will be close. I'm giving Wake one more chance. Deacs. WRONG!

Curmudgeon - Wake is having problems this year. Going with Navy.

John - Navy should be able to get a win in Annapolis

Jim - The ACC really needs to win this sort of game. Wake wins. WRONG!

 

 

Penn State - Michigan

Tom - Sorry Blue but you still pretty much suck this year. Guys in White Helmets

Kevin - The State of Penn is just a bit more difficult than the State of Delaware. Still, the Maize aren't blue after this one. WRONG!

Jay - Penn State

Vip - RichRod has a chance to get a signature win. Unfortuantely, his pen is out of ink. PSU wins 21-20.

Ivan - state penn.

Paul - Michicken doesn't quite have enough. Fightin' JoPas

Curmudgeon - Go Maize & Blue. Michigan WRONG!

John - Hard to pick against Michicken at home. Skunk Bears over da lions this time WRONG!

Jim - Once upon a time, this game actually meant something. Lions win.

 

 

Oklahoma - Kansas

Tom - Kansas really blows this year. Sooners

Kevin - Even without Bradford, go with the team with the better D (and those that don't find a way to lose to the likes of Colorado). Okies.

Jay - Oklahoma

Vip - The fightin' Manginos are sending the Sooners to the Alamo Bowl. KU wins 30-20. WRONG!

Ivan - settlers kill da j-parrots.

Paul - Kansas puts up a fight, but it isn't quite enough. Sooners on the rebound.

Curmudgeon - I'm going to take a flyer on this one. Kansas is home, so Kansas is the pick. Kansas WRONG!

John - Oklahoma should handle this group, unless they do not. But, Sooners.

Jim - Go with the defense. Okies win.

 

 

Arkansas - Mississippi

Tom - Arkansas had a shot against the Teebows but they aren't very good either. Ole Miss

Kevin - When in doubt, go with the home team in the SEC. Ole Jackie Sherrill and I think "Mississippi" wins this.

Jay - Ole Miss

Vip - Nutt RUTSES his former employer, 33-17.

Ivan - ole pissimissts.

Paul - Wooooooo Pig! Arkansas. WRONG!

Curmudgeon - I'm picking the hogs. Go Sooie. Arkansas WRONG!

John - Take the home team here - Ole Miss

Jim - Nutt vs. Petrino? Hogs win. WRONG!

 

 

Temple - Toledo

Tom - Ah, the yech game. Pardon me while I wake up and heave. Holy Toledo WRONG!

Kevin - At least Temple is now in a stable conference, unlike others left not kicked out. Holy Toledo wins. WRONG!

Jay - Toledo WRONG!

Vip - Alliterative MAC action! Toledo wins 40-24. WRONG!

Ivan - to lido! WRONG!

Paul - Toledo WRONG!

Curmudgeon - I have no clue. Hardly knew Temple still played football. Toledo WRONG!

Florida - Mississippi State

Tom - Wouldn't it be funny as hell if the a team from Mississippi has Urban's number again? Crocs by 29

Kevin - On the road, Tebow can only conjure a win by a mere 15. BONUS!

Jay - Florida by 24

Ivan - CUM looking for style points. +35.

Paul - Crocs by 17
