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:

Pick It Standings Week 3: I Thought Baseball Season Was Over
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.
Pick It and Stick It: It Should Be Rivalry Week But It’s Some Other Dumb Name
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:

Pick It Standings Week 2: Well You Know Something Mean Gene
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.
| Rank | Pick Set Name | Total Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | cabbottmtf | 28 |
| 1 | krizzou | 28 |
| 3 | Purple Yeti | 24 |
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.
Pick It and Stick It: Weak 2? Sand Dimas Football RULES!
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!
Pick It and Stick It: Mini Version
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.
| Rank | Pick Set Name | Total Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Winner Winner Chicken Dinner (cabbottmtf) | 17 |
| 2 | krizzou | 16 |
| 3 | Purple Yeti | 14 |
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.
Take Off Eh! Athlon’s Big 12 Preview on a Plane
So I’m standing in KCI looking for a quick rag to read. I was bumping out to California to see my big brother, Purple Baldy Yeti, for a little R&R before strapping down for the college football season. After quick scan of weak rag material, I spied the good ole Athlon College Football preview and snatched it right up. Apparently it’s regionally directed so they had Big 12 slapped on the cover as well. I tossed down a beer with my lil bro, Purple Bumpy Yeti, and stepped on the flight. Here’s Athlon’s fly by of the college football horizon, including the westcoast-midwest Big 12.

Pick It N’ Stick It: Giving Many Thanks to Many Picks
So in the midst of my stuffing and giblet haze last night, a tiny, wobbly, image snatched my attention and slowly brought me back to a full football watching state. The tiny wobbly was the USC vs Arizona St. game. The NFL games sucked this year and College Football, if but for 3 quarters, saved the day. Good call goes to the scheduling gods who set this one up. Speaking of good calls, here are the holiday picks:

Pick It N’ Stick It: Heading Into the Final Turn
Another week and another pick set. The college football season is turning out great again as there is no comparison to the drama that entails every game played. On any given Sunday Thursday, the underdog can shock the team and the televised nation. Did anybody watch Oregon choke last night? No more crying from the Pac-10. Big 12 on top all the way. Here’s the picks:

Pick It N’ Stick It: Road Edition
It’s Friday and it’s time for another pick set to drop on the masses. By the time you will be reading this, hopefully, I will be on the road with Jolly and crew heading to heaven er Iowa. Damn you Kevin Costner. What is it with Costner and sports movies? I’m glad he hasn’t done a sports movie. Or has he?
Pick It N’ Stick It: I’m Drawing a Blank
Yes yes yes! Pick time! Who would’ve thunk that the shoe is on the other foot for Kansas vs Nebraska? Twenty years ago, you could say that at this time, 1 team would be undefeated and 1 would be in a downward spiral. But no one would’ve guessed that Kansas is undefeated and Nebraska is in the spiral. Oh well, that’s why you play the games. Here are the picks:
Pick It N’ Stick It: Speed Dialing Beano
Here’s another week of picks. Yes, we’re a little bogged down with real world stuff, but we’re gonna bang out some picks regardless. Beano Cook is really old. He’s been around since forever and is pretty much the Phil Rizzuto of College Football. Check out the ESPN College Football Insider on Wednesdays to listen to him dog every other sport and talk about what college football was like in the 1930’s. The Purple Yeti will because he needs help with his picks big time.
Pick It N’ Stick It: Tom Osbourne Approved
Here is another set of picks for the week. So far, Krizzou is Krizzillin’ the competition. It’s been so bad, as a matter of fact, that the President of KCCGD fired the Athletic Director this week. Let’s hope Coach Yeti and other participants get their act together. Happy Birthday to Keith Jackson by the way as he turned 79. Probably one of the best announcers out there. And now it’s a FUMMMMBLLLE to the picks….
Pick It N’ Stick It: Digging For Gold Saturday
Here we go with another week of picks. Why Digging For Gold Saturday? Because it’s a better sounding label compared to Gut Check Saturday or Rivalry Saturday. I mean seriously, you don’t need to label a weekend to make it more marketable. College football speaks for itself. Continue reading Pick It N’ Stick It: Digging For Gold Saturday
Pick It n’ Stick It: The Smack Talk is Heavy This Week
Here are this week’s picks. Once again it’s by the spread finalized on Wednesday of this week. We pushed last week so hopefully this week we’ll have a clear winner. I’ve already received plenty of emails this week about the rivalry, so maybe wearing the other teams colors would be a good choice for the loser. Once again, post comments to let us know.
