Tasty Nuggets, Week 14
Then top that krap off with the rumors that Nick Saban may be re-hired at LSU & you've got one Angry Wolf. Ooooooh let's sell our integrity & dignity for 30 pieces of silver for another glimpse of that crystal foozball! Some story about a guy in a robe on a mountainside being tempted with all the kingdoms of the world by some evil dude comes to mind here. Zing! Pow! 2 Biblical references in 1 paragraph! Yippeee!
And now an Alexander reference- (Aristotle to a young Alexander): Be careful what you dream of. The gods have a way of punishing such pride.

Tennessee +7.5 vs. LSU (Atlanta)- Who freaking cares, right? Bust out that rubber hose & tap that vein, Sabanites, b/c Saban's comin' back to town & he got that fix for ya. Well, call me stupid but I got a bad habit of always getting up when I get knocked down. Damn the Fulmer torpedos, full speed ahead. I don't give a flying Hat if I get shot down in a Blaze of Glory. LSU 37, Tennessee 35
Virginia Tech -4.5 vs. Boston College- Now that the Red Sawx have won 2 World Series it seems everybody's a freaking Red Sawx fan. Shove it ya Chowdah Heads, it still don't mean squat in terms of trying to offset the evil unleashed on the world in the guise of Ben Affleck. He has adversely Affleckted movies for the worse. Get it? I made a pun. Which sounds like gun which Virginia Tech doesn't like. Cho'nuff. Another pun. A heartless one.

Arkansas +13 at LSU- The Nutt is out in Arky, McFadden is off to the NFL at the end of the season & The Hat may be trading in the cap for a stocking cap. Not! In the Miles-to-Michigan next year story, it will be once again a piece of evidence that if the media repeats something often enough it becomes a fact to most people. I long for the days when nes was about what happened instead of what might happen... LSU 31, Arkansas 23
Boise St. +4.5 at Hawaii- Chaka Brah! Boy dat Haole ballslinger, Brennan got his bell wrung, bruh. Dat Blue Turf Broncos gonna beat dem Rainbow Warriors silly. I mean da history say Hawaii get conquered & now Hawaii wanna be in the BCS, bruh? Dem Mainlanders ain't gonna le tdem Islanders in dat BCS. Boise St. 57, Hawaii 55 (3OT)
Texas -6 at Texas A&M- Tuberville to A&M! From one ag school to another! Mack Brown will eventually get his a$$ handed to him by two coaches in the Big 12. Stoops & Tuberville. VY got a younger brother to save Mack's job & buy him another 5 years??? Texas 34, Texas A&M 24
Auburn -6 over Bama- Oh snap! Did dat Warhawk bus a nutt on you, Saban? UAB Pt. Deux! I told yo azzes, Bammers, exactly what you gonna git wit Saban- losses in the last minute & a loss to a team you shouldn't lose to! Booyahkuh nutz, Bammer b1tches! And now "Bama's mad! They gonna geat Auburn!" Whatever, there's that little matter that you suck! JPW < style="font-style: italic;">Auburn 21, Bama 12
Florida St. +14 at Florida- Despite Jenn Sterger defecting to Hot! Hot! Hot! USF, FSU will win ATS strictly b/c of the rivalry factor. Mainly b/c Papa Bobbay Bowden fails asleep in the 3rd & Jimbo & the other 145 head coaches at FSU's staff don't get their plans all foiled by Bobbay's meddlin'. Or Tim Tebow ravages Jenn Sterger all throughout the 2nd half like a trashy romance novel. Wear a rubber, dude. Florida 34, FSU 23
Missouri +1.5 at Kansas- Tigahs vs. Tigahs in da BCS Bowl! That way there'd be a 2nd game where analysts could, quip, "Well you know, Poser Show Host Guy, one thing is certain in this matchup, the winner will be the Tigers, ha ha ha... hun hmmpf hunh hah ha." (Cue douchey older white types slapping each other on the back impressed with their juvenilistic wit.) Missouri 30, Kansas 28
Georgia -3 at Georgia Tech- Georgia 2 straight over the spread! Mark Richt or Evil Helen Hunt Male Dude, has Chubby Stafford wheelin & dealin & runnin & gunnin. Psssst, Knowshown Moreno runs ANGRY. He scares me. Please, please, pretty please Tennessee beat Kentucky. No want face Evil Richt & Angry Moreno & Tubby Stafford. Georgia 27, Georgia Tech 14
Clemson -2.5 at South Carolina- Get your good vieiwing spots for the SS Sinking Spurrier. Gamecocks have petered out & are sinking fast. Raise your hands if you think Spurrier went home after Tebows 7 TDs against his Cocks & passed a pouyank in jealousy?? Clemson 26, South Carolina 21
UConn +17.5 at West Virginia- Rich Rodriguez distraction alert! UConn bet that Rich Rodriguez to Michigan rumor will get louder. And Rich doesn't even wear a funny hat. Or wear his hat funnily. Makin up words! Yeeeeeeehaw! That's such a pinnaclastic talent I have. There's another one! West Virginia 38, UConn 27
Notre Dame +3.5 at Stanford- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA The Irish are an under dog to Stanford?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA Cheeburger cheeburger!! Emuburger emuburger!!! Beware Fightin' Irish! You're headed to California, Land of the Pacifists, so they're already lining up a court injunction & lawsuit in feigned outrage & righteous indignation at your "Fightin'" in the mascot name!

Tasty Nuggets, Week 12
Welcome to Week 12 of the Tasty Nuggets, now longer & more annoying than ever!... On to the new state of America. The Home Run King of Baseball, probably the single most hallowed sports record in the land in a sport that is the National Pastime… gets indicted & is facing up to 30 yrs. in the slammer. Looks like Barry will be playing in pinstripes next year! Ba doomp pssh. But what an indictment, pardon the pun, of the current American society. So fitting to me. We worship celebrities like movie stars who aren’t even college educated & who do nothing but pretend to be other people for a living but somehow are to be trusted on pressing topics such as politics & climate change. And now, Barry Bonds b/c of his own drive & selfish desire to be the Home Run king is going to be taken down by the Feds. Barry, one thing you never, EVER do. You don’t tell the government to come after you, even if you were innocent, they’ll find something. If King Bush hated black people enough that he created a weather machine to make a hurricane powerful enough to drown New Orleans, why would he not send the Justice Department Gestapo to take down the Home Run King to save Babe Ruth’s legacy? Oppression at $20 million a year? Where do I sign up for it? Must be diamond coated shackles… (tongue removed from cheek)
Mmmmmmm left over sarcasm from lunch, with a side of satire. Yum!

Mississipi St. +11 vs. Arkansas- Out from under the radar & onto the Nuggetdar. Get it? Will Nutt get Croominated? Mississippi St. is bowl eligible for the 1st time since Calvin Coolidge was President. Not really but with Americans’ understanding of even American history most people would probably believe that anyway. Did anybody see the bi-plane flyover at the Mississippi St.-Arkansas game? Who even knew that planes had any sexual preference at all must less preferring to be bi. Is that like the former Princess of Wales, Lady Bi? Does the Croomroller rolls on crushing all in it’s path with it’s newly found Auburn way of winning games by scoring points without actually scoring points? Arkansas 24, Mississippi St. 15
Georgia -8 vs. Kentucky- Helen Hunt has gone from the girl next door to the local Jezebel. Mark Richt has gone all loopy & gotten down with sickness. The Sickness being trash-taking & emotional… OOA WAH AH AH AH! Kentucky finally woke up, realized basketball season was nigh & promptly started playing like, well, Kentucky. Willie Wildcat went out one morning to grab the morning paper. Attached to it was a note. It read, “Know Your Role, Kentucky. Sincerely, the rest of the SEC.” Willie then got all sad & went back inside & ate some mediocre lumpy grits. Georgia 35, Kentucky 24
Northwestern +13.5 at Illernoise- The Shot Your Wad Game. I guarantee Illernoise will have somewhat of a letdown after knocking of The Buckeyes. Northwestern which is ironically located in the Midwest, I now hardly anything about this year. Which is a perfect reason to include them in the picks. Tressel got ZOOKED. Did he think they were playing Florida again? Illernoise 27, Northwestern 21
LSU -18 at Ole Miss- Yeah, yeah, yeah, 2007 year of the Upset & all that other “weird” stuff that goes on. But come on, Ole Miss, we’re digging up[ Billy Cannon for this game. We’re gonna run run run right into embezzlement & racketeering charges. Times are a-changin’ With Bobby Jihad about to be governor, things are about to be some bon temps in Louisiana… hopefully… at least until Edwin Edwards is sprung from prison to become governor again. Put in Brent Schaeffaw, Coach O! That’d be a guaranteed cover. I mean covaw. Hyawhyawhyaw, fooball. Beat dat Orgeron & learn him why he shoulda never left the Bayou! LSU 34, Ole Miss 14
Notre Dame -5 over Duke- Charlie Cheesburger leads his forces to face perennial ACC doormats, Duke! Cheeburger cheeburger! Notre Dame sealed it’s fate when it sold its’ soul to NBC in the exclusive network deal. God has turned his back in on them ever since. Some story about Jesus getting all non-anger management & knocking over merchants’ tables in the Temple comes to mind. Hey, if forsaking anger management is godo enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me! No word, though if Notre Dame is going to level charges of rape & sexual assault against the Duke lacrosse team for groping Charlie Cheesburger’s foopa. Notre Dame 24, Duke 17
Wisconsin -13.5 at Minnesota- Who really cares here? Make your own stereotypes about cheese, gophers, Minnehaha & Lou Holth once coaching there & let’s move on. Nobody watches Canadian football anyway. Wisconsin 31, Minnesota 10
Memphis -11.5 over UAB- Smaller school special. A school in a city named after a ciy in Egypt faces a school with an abbreviation that looks like an English translation of ancient Sumerian. In fact, I have it on good authority from Zechariah Sitchin that “UAB” in Sumerian means “one who beats Saban.” No wonder! So, Zechariah, will Bama win a national title before the Annunaki return & re-enslave the human race? What will we mine this time? Memphis 30, UAB 16
USM -3 over UTEP- More abbreviation or acronym fantasticness! UTEP are the Miners. Remember having sex with a miner is against the law. As is giving alcohol to miners. People are considered miners until they’re 18 or for alcohol sales 21 & in some areas sexual goods & products 21 as well. Luckily, people, or teams, from Mississippi don’t have to worry about this b/c they only poke their relatives. B/c as you know, it’s all relative. USM 27, UTEP 23
Louisiana-Monroe +25 at Bama- That’s right! It’s the UAB beats Saban Sequel! Saban Slouches 2: ULM, the Suckness. The grumblings in Tuscaloser are already starting that Saban may not live up to his Saviorness of the 2nd Coming of The Bear. Calvin from Green Hill already thinks Saban should’ve had 2 national titles for Bama by October. One things for sure though, John Parker Wilson is “teh svckness.” And he’s so aggravating b/c he obviously thinks he’s “teh hawtness.” Bama 41, ULM 17
Ohio St. -4 at Michigan- OMG! Buckeyes got ZOOKED. Like, wow. Like does Henne have the Hart to play through injury this week or will Mallett build himself a Mannigham to house himself against the Buckeyes D? That last one was an extreme stretch. It’sd so bad I’ll explain. I was trying to go for that song about “Build me a Birmingham.” Ok, ok, Will Lloyd get into his Carr after the game & drive off into the sunset of retirement causing Les to travel the Miles from Baton Rouge to Ann Arbor? Or will Michigan pluck Jim Harbaugh from Pac-10 exile & make him the new coach. Or will Lloyd get all JoePa in that Carr & run over his detractors into an upset win & another year of 9-2??? Ohio St. 27, Michigan 20

Tasty Nuggets, Week 11
Georgia -1 vs. Auburn- Ooooooh this became really intriguing with the Tuberville to College Station rumor with the Aggies gettind rid of Franchione. Hey, maybe Saban will bolt Tuscaloser for College Station a la Franchione? How awesome would that be? Where was I? Oh yes, Reign In Blood on the new Guitar Hero 3 is the shiznit. Georgia 28, Auburn 23
Kansas -5 at Oklahoma St.- This just in, Kansas just scored again against Nebraska. Sell all your property! Notre Dame is 1-8 & Nebraska gave up 76! The Apocalyspe is nigh! If anybody remembers the original Bill Walsh College Football on Super Nintendo, that Kansas team from 91 or 92 or whatever was a tricky little team to beat. That running back they had on there was pretty sneaky. Paper rock scissors chalk Jayhawk! Kansas 38, Oklahoma St. 28
Kentucky -3 at Vanderbilt- Kentucky lost to Gardner-Webb last night! Why they're playing foosball twice in a week is beyond me! 'Cept last night they played this funny lookin' 5-a-side indoor foosball with tiny goal posts. And no end zones! It was caaaaaaaarazy. Andrew Woodson didn't even play! No wonder they lost! Kentucky 31, Vanderbilt 24
LSU -36 over La. Tech- Da Tiiiiiiigaaaaahs go from beating Saban to beating a Saban acolyte in Derek Dooley who is quite the douchey. Hooray for Idiot Savants! This week I'd like to see The Hat run a double guard around reverse where both guards hand it to each other than flip it back to Flynn who pirouettes, does a triple axel & a salkow then flips it to Trindon Holliday who scores two on a drop kick from their own 18 yd. line.... on 2nd & 35. Now, that's crazy! Now gimme some, caaaaandaaaay. Damn, Halloween's over. LSU 48, La. Tech 10
Illernoise +15 at The Ohio St.- The Zook takes The Illini into The Horshoe to face The Ohio St. University. Not that one, but that one. No, That one. Yes, That one. The Tressel has The Buckeyes in The #1 spot. It looks like The Buckeyes will be playing in The BCS Title game in The New Orleans. The Zook is The Annoyance enough to cause The Buckeyes just enough of The Headache to almost pull off The Upset. The Ohio St. The 30, The Illinois The 24
Texas Tech +6.5 at Texas- Dad nabbit, I'm picking Texas to get upset until it actually happens! If Notre Dame is 1 & 13456 this year, why not? Just throw it Crabtree, Red Raiders! I didn't even know crabs grew in trees! I thought crabs came from STDs! D'oh! Texas Tech 35, Texas 34
Florida St. +6.5 at Virginia Tech- Jimbo & Papa Bowden last week took down BC, this week it might be VT, they play so fly all the kidz do that "you can't see me" hand gesture across the face. Which I'm doing right now, which means you can't see me. See, and for about 2 months I thought all these dudez were just doing PSAs on the importance off washing your face in the War Against Acne. Why not a War Against Acne? We've already fighting unwinnable wars on Poverty, Drugs, Terrorism & Climate Change. Virginia Tech 20, Florida St. 17
Arkansas Pick at Tennessee- I'm picking Humanity Advanced over Humanity Inbred. Does that make me a Nutt? Goo goo goo. The Vols are shockingly giving up 400+ ttl. yds. a game on defense. In fact, they're giving up more yds. than they're gaining this season. Arkansas should just completely forsake the forward pass, line up in the Single Wing or The Flying V, the football formation not the überawesome Gibson guitar model, & just run it with Humanity Advanced & Felix The Cat. No, not the Potvin Felix The Cat. Just get all 1920 on that Vol azz, Razorbacks! Run, run, run!!! Arkansas 28, Tennessee 27
Syracuse +16 vs. USF- Hey Cinderella, it's 12:18, time's up, skank. What's that, 3 in a row now? South Florida like all One Hit Wonders has gone the way of all the Kajagoogoos, Falcos, Cutting Crews, Chumbawumbas & Nenas before them, they burn out & fade away in a supernova of brilliant almost greatness & are then left to smolder in the embers of cult hero dwarf star status. And that's no bull. Get it? Orange you glad I made that joke? Do you know the brain power it took to pull a Cutting Crew reference from the depths of the memories?? Jim Nabors should've been in Kajagoogoo BTW, then they would've been called Kajagoogoogoogoogoogoogoogoogoo USF 28, Syracuse 16
