Terrific Tom Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Let's bow our heads. Dear Catholic God, Please forgive me for all of my careless comments last week. I hope you realize that they were all in jest. I never doubted your power, and your exhibition of strength in guiding the Fighting Irish to victory was just one in the long list of miracles that you have begat on this planet. Please disregard any derogatory comments I may have made toward touchdown Jesus, your son. Also, please try to forgive any statements about Mormons, Joseph Smith, or anything else. I always knew the Mormons were going to hell. I hope we can get past this. Your humble servant, Terrific Tom PS, please give any of the haters (fasteddie) venereal disease. OK, let's get to the picks. UCLA (even) @ Washington 3 star pick Hey, everybody, it's the pu&&y and fairy bowl. Rick "It's just an office pool, and shut up about my sweater vest" Neuheisel has left his mark on both teams. UCLA has already shown a little toughness against Big XII team Okie St., but committed too many turnovers to win (that should strike a chord with you Husker fans). This week the turnovers go away, and the Bruins get the win on Puget Sound. Maryland (+6.5) @ West Virginia 5 star pick Terrific Tom look-alike Ralph Friedgen has one of the great offensive minds of our time. Enough so to win in (Captain) Morgantown. Last time Maryland lost to West Virginia, Len Bias was at the game. West Virginia ruins their opportunity to run the table in the pathetic Big Least. Nebraska (-3.5) @ Pittsburgh 5 star pick This is just to keep you hicks reading. I don't have to tell Husker Nation that five turnovers will a-- cause you to gain 300 pounds at Arby's or b-- will cost you a football game. However, the Big Red Coaching Machine has rolled up an average of over 500 yards a game. Look for Nebraska to show their true colors against an inexperienced Pitt Squad at Heinz Field. Florida (+3.5) @ Tennessee 3 star pick The ZookMaster and his tenacious D stifle the two-headed chump freshman piss-down-your-leg quarterback system of Tennessee, mainly because neither one of them can pull their head out of their ass until the fourth quarter. Hillbillies won't be singing Rocky Top, even if Peyton comes back to direct the band. Until after the bars close, anyway. Troy @ New Mexico State (+12) 5 star pick Here's your first lesson in the bounce theory: team on the rise (men of Troy) after huge victory, think they're pretty good, fall into the trap in the Land of Enchantment with their vaunted 30 stack defense. Kansas @ Northwestern (-3) 3 star pick Don't jump off the Wildkitties bandwagon just yet. Two weeks of home cookin' coupled with another Terrific Tom look-alike (Mark "eatin' my way through life" Mangino) away from his (extremely large) comfort zone equals Big 10 (11) victory, and Mangino retiring to try to join the Superfans. Da Bears. Iowa (-1) @ Arizona St. 3 star pick Don't let last week's struggle in the Civil War of Iowa scare you (you Cornheads know what an offensive genius Barney Cotton is, right?). Iowa, who's always happy to travel to get away from the doorless shitters of Kinnick Stadium, has the moxy to get 'er done in the desert. New Mexico @ Oregon State (-12) 4 star pick It's a make-or-break game for team Beaver. I forgive them the loss because their kicker needs to be shot in the first game. But their utter haplessness on the Smurf Turf in Idaho leads to put up or shut up time. As usual, I'm siding with the Beavers. They're occasionally smelly, but God Dammit, I love 'em! Beavers in a pounding (they just won't stop coming). Clemson (-2.5) @ Texas A&M 3 star pick Wyoming shares the title with Buffalo for the worst team in college football. Experienced Clemson bares their claws against the freshmen and sophomore students of Agriculture and Military. Bottom line, Clemson's offense is too much for A&M, 12th man or not. Notre Dame @ Michigan St. (+4) 5 star pick Surely God has stopped reading by now. Screw you, Catholics. Team Sparta brings you back down from heaven, crashing to earth. State gets redemption for all of Michigan (peninsula included). Quote Link to comment
BigRedJohnson Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 God may have but the Big Red J did not!! All hail the mighty T!! My fav TT quote o the week: It's a make-or-break game for team Beaver. I forgive them the loss because their kicker needs to be shot in the first game. But their utter haplessness on the Smurf Turf in Idaho leads to put up or shut up time. As usual, I'm siding with the Beavers. They're occasionally smelly, but God Dammit, I love 'em!

Eric the Red Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Rock on Tommy, you da man. It takes a(Mark "eatin' my way through life" Mangino) large human to go against the big man, and no I don't mean Joseph Smith two weeks in a row. Quote Link to comment
jimmypop Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Man this guy is hilarious!! I dont really care if his pix are very good or not just keep the crax comin!! Heres my favorite part of his post: Terrific Tom look-alike Ralph Friedgen has one of the great offensive minds of our time. Enough so to win in (Captain) Morgantown. Last time Maryland lost to West Virginia, Len Bias was at the game. West Virginia ruins their opportunity to run the table in the pathetic Big Least. Man we gotta get your pic on here Tom!!! All hail the Friedge!! Quote Link to comment

c-husker Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I must admit, I missed week 1 (or was it 2?), but after checking this out on a tip from a friend, I must say, this is the best bookie sheet on the web. Of course, I could give a sh#t about the picks. c-husker (the C stands for Chucklingmyassoff) Quote Link to comment

Redout Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 not one to complain b/c your comentary is great but didnt Maryland lose Eric?? Hey dumbass, Maryland was getting 6.5 points, they lost by three. GET IT!!! Quote Link to comment
Redout Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 You finished up the week 5-4-1 not bad. You started off hot winning the first 5 games then you had a push at Kansas v NW, and then it was all down hill. You lost your last four. And by the way the Catholics got you again. Notre Dame 31- Mish St. 24 Quote Link to comment
Redout Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 and btw Tenn just took a dump on your florida parade so you can cross taht one off too. Once again, IT'S CALLED A SPREAD, If you chose Florida---you win!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Considering the "experts" in Vegas only hit about 45% of there picks, this ain't bad. 12-7-1 in two weeks with the spread. That's around 60% Quote Link to comment
Red November Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I actually took two of your games and won. Florida and Nebraska Quote Link to comment
HuskerBob Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Once again, IT'S CALLED A SPREAD wasnt that yur old ladies nickname in college redout?? :hump get some! Quote Link to comment
