Picks thread?

[The Six]

Miami handled UAB 31-14 last week.  Sounds like a snoozer but UAB is a senior laden team from top to bottom and they are coached by none

The one, the only Rhett Lashley is running the U's offense this season.

To Bill Clark and Rhett Lashlee!

To Bill Clark and Rhett Lashlee! 

I went camping with Clark … I’m in the back of a pickup with Bill Clark and a live deer. Well, Clark, he grabs the deer by the antlers, looks at it and says, ‘I’m Bill Clark! Say it!’ Then he squeezes the deer in such a way that a sound comes out of its mouth — “Billclark!” It wasn’t exactly it, but it was pretty good for a deer.

I was taken aback when I saw that.  I think it's a great place for him (lots of talent) and he'll start to make his own name away from Gus's "tree."

Possibly so...but UAB gave up 35 at home the week before to Central Arkansas.  It will be interesting though to see how he does with that south Florida speed.

So maybe Bill Clark ain't the legend you homos say he is.

Bill Clark taught me how to love a woman — and how to scold a child.

It's just one game, so take this with a grain of sodium, but a lot of what the U was running looked a lot like the Nick Marshall offense. Makes sense as the QB for the 'Canes is a good runner and they have good backs. Lots of jet motion, power and read option off that motion, followed by deep shots down the sidelines.

A lesser game that could be fun to watch is Appy State vs. Marshall.  If that was a Thursday night game (It's not) I'd settle in for that one.  ASU is always a quality club and Marshall has a QB, Grant Wells, with a rifle arm and a senior line protecting him.  I know it was only Eastern "Say Their Names" Kentucky, but when that kid let it go, the ball arrived in a hurry.

I found this a little less than semi-mildly interesting from an ESPN write up on the Houston/Baylor match up this weekend.

The 2001 Texas Tech football team, led by Mike Leach, was a who's who of future head coaches -- a list that included Kliff Kingsbury, Art Briles, Sonny Dykes, Ruffin McNeill, Greg McMackin and two guys who will go head-to-head this weekend: Baylor's Dave Aranda and Houston's Dana Holgorsen.


And all this time, I thought every head coach in America was a disciple of Lord Saybinz.

[The Six]

#17 Miami (FL) at #18 Louisville
Give me Louisville here in what I think will be a game with plenty of points. Louisville's run D will have their hands full but they should be able to throw for plenty yards and snag the win. Louisville 44, Miami 34

#14 UCF at Georgia Tech
Tech notched a big win (thought how big of a deal is FSU these days) but they made a boatload of mistakes. Having played a game gives them experience but UCF has speed and talent to go up against a team like Tech.
UCF 27, Georgia Tech 16

Syracuse at #25 Pitt
Syracuse's offensive line is about as good a wet paper bag holding sharp rocks. Pitt is not special but they are better than the Orange.
Pitt 31, Syracuse 10

Tulsa at Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State's woke warriors should blow past the golden hurricane. Speed and talent wins.
Oklahoma 36, Tulsa 24

Boston College at Duke
Duke looked okay against Notre Dame. Don't know if that's because the Irish are kinda soft or the Blue Satans are strong. BC is going to be rusty and under a new regime that had no time to install anything other than Microschlong Office on their laptops. Give the fighting Cutcliffe's the nod here.
Duke 20, Boston College 13

Houston at Baylor
Much like BC above, Baylor is starting over under DC wondermind Dave Aarranda. Houston isn't grand and if Dana Holgerson spent the whole spring and summer playing online poker and watching PornHub, the Cougs might get beat. However, I think Houston has the edge knowing what they are and what they want to do. Big 12s looking weak sauce outside of Oklahoma and Texas so far.
Houston 37, Baylor 32

I like all these except that Louisville pick.

[Snaggletiger]

UCF has the crafty lefty QB, Dillon Gabriel, back and pretty much the rest of the offense in tact.  I can see them hanging 30+ on the Jackets.  The other side of the coin is that GT faced a Mike Norvel offense last week and held them just about completely in check.  Under Norvel, Memphis ran the same type of quick hitting O that UCF puts up numbers in bunches with.  I saw FSU running that all day and also saw GT more than holding their own.  I can see a 30-24 type game with UCF coming out on top, simply because UCF has the experience running that system.

Scratch Baylor/Houston tomorrow.

They got the 'ronas.

It is bullshit talk like this that makes it more dangerous for you than for Kaos at a BLM rally.

This is one of the stupidest comments I’ve seen on here. And that’s saying a lot.

I think that this could be the year that someone may read one of your posts in its entirety. Not likely but it is possible.

I have never heard of or seen a "Pearl wrist"?
