Here’s the standings for Week 4. Purple Yeti needs to stop gulping down Rockstar energy drinks and actually focus on some pics. Cabbottmtf stretches his lead out against Krizzou with the key picks of Texas, Alabama, Georgia. Heck he’s been drinking the southern belt kool aid. If each participant was a Kool Aid flavor I’d say that Cabbottmtf would be Cherry Cracker, Krizzou would be Rock-a-dile Red, and Purple Yeti would be Purplesaurus Rex (of course). What do you think?

Speaking of drinking the Kool Aid, apparently East Carolina dropped the BCS Buster title over the weekend in an overtime loss to NC State (BCS Buster should be a Kool Aid flavor btw). So now Boise St assumes the title after their whuppin of Oregon. I’m not sure they can match the sweetness that was the win over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, but let’s hope they can deliver. The last game of the season should be a great one against Fresno State.
It’s another week of football down and it’s getting achingly close to conference play. The day’s event took us to Willie’s next to the Power & Light district. It was kind of a blah afternoon after football leading up to some major action for the evening’s games, much the build up of non-con games before the real meat of the conference ball. At any rate we learned about premier teams, KU’s play, and some cottage fries. Continue reading Downtown KC, Small (Not Big) Willie’s Style→
After watching Louisville shake K-State worse than Leon Patton’s kid, a new found fire sprung from within the Yeti’s belly. This fire does not encourage me to abuse a child, however, it does inspire me to spit fire on the pages of picks laying in front of me this week. By all means, I’m not making light of the serious situation that Patton and those involved are faced with, but it would at least nice to see that kind of rage out on the football field. The Cats laid down to Louisville and their running game (the much hyped about, trying to bolster up type game) to a back seat to Josh Freeman laying out interceptions for the Cards to pick up. With no running game, Josh was gonna get nabbed for at least one. I blame Josh for one of the two he tossed. He are the other kind of picks: Continue reading Pick It and Stick It: Nothing to Shake a Kid at→
One quick note before the Saturday spot. The ole KCCGD crew is heading out to Kite’s (formerly Rusty’s Last Chance) to watch K-State vs Louisville. Freeman got some front page love yesterday on espn.com as the Big 12 Blogger Tim Griffin talked about Josh being up there as one of the league’s best quarterbacks. He also picked the Wildcats with the shnide over the Cardinals. It’s on the road but they travel well and Louisville may be out a couple of offensive linemen for the game so I’m with Tim and giving the Yeti Schnide to K-State. Here’s Saturday’s spot:
Here’s the updates to the pick it and stick it set. The picks were more even this week as things are beginning to iron out in the top 25. Still, there may be some upsets lurking here and there. There’s also the matter of the special rescheduled match up of the rated Texas Longhorns and Arkansas Razorbacks. I’ll tell you right now: Hook ’em Horns!

Okay, so I know the SEC has about 5 teams in the top 10 but what’s up with the Auburn vs Mississippi St game?
Chris Todd pitched a complete game and so did Wesley Carroll in a losing effort. I could find any stats as I’m wondering how my hitting did on my College Football Baseball Fantasy Team performed. What I did find is a history of 3-2 scores in College Football. Note the epic battles of Kansas State versus Iowa State in the 1920’s with the Cykes winning both struggles. I wonder if we’ll see that at Arrowhead.
One of the bigger games of the week happened the previous night with KU narrowly losing out to South Florida in an exciting game. Too bad I didn’t pop out to see it because I was holed in waiting for the tornado sirens to blare down for the evening. So strolling into Maloney’s Saturday morning, I figured that the much of the severe weather was over. After watching the games, however, the natural disasters were all over the place. At least Maloney’s was a tiny comfort riding the day out. Continue reading Sopping Wet Still From Football And Some Stromboli→
So I’m sitting here listening to the what will probably be the best game of the week, KU and South Florida tied at 34 with under a minute and KU with the ball, and I’m wondering why college football deemed the USC vs Ohio State game the Collision at the Colosseum? Going over the barspotting post, it looks like it should be Rivalry Week. Iowa vs. Iowa State, Texas vs Arkansas, Notre Dame vs Michigan. Those are big time games. Granted UT and Ark got moved because of Ike and the Domers against the Wolves isn’t nearly what it was, but it seems like those handful of games should at least match the big time game Saturday night. I know one thing, I’m glad I’m not at The Other Place again because I don’t think the Iowa fans in the area can handle another loss to the ‘Clones. Here’s this week’s picks: Continue reading Pick It and Stick It: It Should Be Rivalry Week But It’s Some Other Dumb Name→
Here’s the update for the pick ’em after week 2. The Yeti will have to knock out some serious upsets while Krizzou and Cabbottmft are fighting it out for the top. It’s early still so we’ll see how it fleshes out in the end. That’s what she said.

So what was up with the excessive celebration call at the BYU vs Washington game?
I’m not sure which is more hilarious, that Jessie “The Body” Ventura was doing color commentating or that people are forgetting that the kick was BLOCKED. Sure every sports mouth out there is screaming ref murder because they punished the kid for rocking out too much, but if they would have protected the kick and hit the extra point it would have been moot.
The unusual thing is that it went against the home team at the last second. Every person related with football knows that calls can go against you that seem chinsey. They will then point out that any team shouldn’t put themselves in that position in the first place. Of course, spectators toot a different horn.
The overcast clouds could only hint at to what was to come for another day of college football as I pulled into the parking lot Saturday morning. For some teams, the rain was hard and heavy. For others, it was destination cloud nine. The warm comfort of Danny’s Bar & Grill covered me as I was covering them. Isn’t it ironic? Don’t ya think?
Welp the first ole official like point checking pick it and stick it has arrived. This is what the participants think for the grandaddiest of all weeks of football. WEEK 2! Most of the games are weak except for the bump ECU got from beating Va Tech. Um, yeah West Virginia should handle them. All of the local teams should win except we are all in accordance to Louisana Tech keeping the game close. Okay real quick upset for ECU or La Tech? Here’s the picks: Continue reading Pick It and Stick It: Weak 2? Sand Dimas Football RULES!→
Hey the weekend was so great and football was so much that I punted the Pick It and Stick It last week. So in short, lazy form. Here’s the standings. Please note we are doing the default Yahoo College Pick ’em League and I’m essentially cutting and pasting. My fingers thank me later.
So sometime before the Saturday games I should have what we actually picked up. In the meantime, I gotta call my bookie and fire him. Sheesh, what a crappy week pick wise.
There was another notch in the belt of football gouged in over the weekend and I it was great to see football back, even though the magic wasn’t quite there. The 810 Zone on the Plaza was where we kicked off another year of the greatest tournament ever. Upsets happened, big plays zapped across the screens, and wings were eaten. Continue reading Zoned Out on Wings and Football→
Finally, it’s here! After longing through boring ass basketball, unheard of hockey, loser baseball, and a fart in the wind called the Olympics, the real sport of men has arrived! Yes, it’s even more important than professional football. And after the spring football, the media days, the cuts, the hype, the talk, we arrive tonight for the start of college football. I’m about to head out Tanner’s in Lenexa to enjoy multiple of games of what will be more than likely blowouts but I don’t care.
