Terrific Tom Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 "Are you OK?" "Nah, man. I'm pretty f'ing' far from OK." Yes, it's me, and I'm back for more. Like Marcellus Wallace, I've taken it like a man, and now I'm back with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch, ready to get medievel on all of your asses. (Sorry if you didn't get last week's memo about last week being "opposite week." FYI, this is double up week, which will be helpful to all who hope to recoop their losses.) And speaking of the first appearance of Ezekiel 24:17 (kudos, fasteddie), I purposely stayed away from touchdown Jesus last week, but I'm ready to bust his ass in the bet of the year this week. To the picks! Purdue (-3) @ Notre Dame BET OF THE YEAR There are few guarantees in life: Mark Mangino getting kicked out of Old Country Buffet before he gets "all he could eat"; Terrific Tom selling at least one kidney to pay off a gambling debt at some point; Tyrone Willingham staying black; AND PURDUE BEATING THE GOLDEN DOMERS IN THIS GAME. Joe T. and his Boilers use the much-needed week off to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, and prove that they are the baddest f'ers in the valley. Unless Touchdown You-Know-Who comes off the wall to crash the Purdue team bus, this is a mortal lock. North Carolina (+28 1/2) @ Florida State 1 star pick Three words: sandwich game (and we're not talking Quizno's). Team Bowden coming off of the Bowden Bowl last week, and looking forward to a tougher team next week overlooks the Heels. Don't kid yourselves, UNC has about as good of a shot of winning this game as Navy does of making a game-winniing field goal this year. Michigan State (+8) @ Iowa 2 star pick Helen of Iowa City has launched a massive attack. Team Sparta seeks revenge for Ferentz and Herkey the Hawk stealing the one hot woman out of East Lansing. The Spartans have already proven to be road warriors by covering last week despite giving up a cheap special teams touchdown against Jerry Retardo's Hoosiers. They are bringing their Trojan Horse to the Hawkeye State, and while the locals are hoping that the horse contains doors for the shitters in Kinnick Stadium, in fact, it carries an ass-whooping. Texas Tech (+26) @ Oklahoma 1 star pick The Red Raiders, with the aid of the spirit of Spike Dykes, keeps it close enough. You do the math: If OU would do everything right and score 50, that means all that Mike Leach and his Burgandy Pimpernels have to do is score four touchdowns, and they're golden. If nothing else, Tech scores one late to cover for a great moment in gambling history. I'll take some of that sweet action! Rutgers @ Syracuse (-6 1/2) 3 star pick The Rutgers Scarlet Pretenders, I mean Knights, prove that they're over-hyped, and not yet ready for prime time in venturing into the tougher-than-sh#t Carrier Dome. If nothing else, this is a territorial recruiting battle, and the Orange is not about to let the Scarlet get their foot in the door. Orange crush the K-niggots. Illinois (+14 1/2) @ Wisconsin 2 star pick Chief Notgonnacompete, to his credit, refuses to punch his ticket on the trail of tears, and rallies the forces at visitor-friendly Camp Randall. Don't look for Alvarez and the Badgers to completely take a sh#t on the field, but the Natives make a stand to keep it under two touchdowns. South Carolina (+3) @ Alabama 4 star pick Croyle's injury, which could easily become a recurring theme on this site, coupled with two less-than-satisfying performances by the c$%ks, lead to limp-dick Lou Holtz trying Cialis and rolling the Tide over to make them his bitch. Kansas @ Nebraska (-13) 5 star pick I forgot what I was doing last week and didn't pick the Husker game. As a result, TT had an all-time low in views and posts. SO HERE YOU f'ers GO. Callahan and the Big Red Coaching Machine uses their much-needed week off to get healthy and focus their efforts on winning the North. Pessimists will tell you that the 'Skers struggled with can't-beat-UCONN Pittsburgh, but minus at least three starters, NU persevered. Until Kansas puts an "St." behind their name, don't even ask. Mississippi St. @ Vanderbilt (-17) 1 star pick The good news for Sylvester Croom is that he's the first black coach in the history of the SEC, which means that he'll have every decent black player in the region in a couple of years. The bad news? Many of the Black Cat's players are currently white, and several play like they have a vagina. I don't know much about college football, but if you lose to perennial hockey power "remember the" Maine, you suck. You pick the joke: The last time the Commodores were favored by this much, a) The Commodores had a song in the top 40, or B) the Commodore 64 was the top selling home computer in the nation. BYU (+3) @ Colorado State 1 star pick Perhaps the Mormons have more moxy than I have given them credit for. They've beaten God's team. They should have won on the smurf turf. So, travelling to sub-par Sonny Lubick's abode may well prove less than intimidating (especially for a team all facing the prospect of Hell after death). Cougars maul the Rams. I'm out. Tom.

Eric the Red Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Hey big TT, surprised you didn't jump on the UConn game. "Down with the Irish" Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Terrific Tom had his Bet of the Year this week and it went off without a hitch Purdue giving only three. In a rout 41-16 Also cudos to Redout: QUOTE Benard Posted on Oct 1 2004, 08:22 AM I don't see Purdue beating Notre Dame. Crappy Pick. Oh no, no, no Bernard. This is a perfect pick. ND rolled and Purdue struggled. ND ca not and I repeat can not keep playing at this high a level. Purdue in a rout in front of the all mighty. Let's see how we did this week. As it looks so far a very nice comback. 6-3 but the BYU game was too late for the papers. Sweet picking on North Carolina Also you picked Vandy and they won by 1...Oh so sweet. You just feel like lighten one up after a pick like that. And you should have stuck to your guns and either stayed away from the Huskers or picked against them....not even close Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I got you at a season total of 23-17...I think Quote Link to comment
c-husker Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Big Tom, 7-3 on double up week. Pretty impressive. That's 22-17-1 for the year. Not amazing, but not bad. You seem to be having some trouble in the Big (Eleven) Ten, except, of course, where it matters -- at the top. I say give Orton the Heisman right now. Everyone else in that conference should be in the Big XII North, because it seems like nobody wants to win that division, either. Speaking of the North, I learned a long time ago never to bet the Huskers. They always screw ya. Looking forward to next week. C-Husker (the C stands for can't wait for week 6) Quote Link to comment
