By using this quote from Barack Obama to begin a post, I am displaying my ability to embrace bipartisanship. “If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.” After my second consecutive winning day, my overall record is now 7-7. I went 2-1 on Friday, led by [...]

Given my poor results earlier in the week, I shouldn’t be disappointed with a 2-1 record yesterday. San Jose State scored a late touchdown to break my MAC losing streak and Baylor dominated UCLA from start to finish.

Watching last night’s Western Kentucky loss was the definition of frustration. The Hilltoppers opened the game with a 70-yard trick play and had success every time they opened up the playbook and took chances on offense.

Everyone across the country expected me to lose my opening two bowl games. I didn’t disappoint and started the bowl season at 0-2, managing to jinx/injure Toledo’s two best players in the process. Vince Lombardi once said: “If you can accept losing, you can’t win.” It’s been a long four days with no games to pick, but tonight I’m [...]

This year’s bowl schedule features two Saturday match-ups and then a four-day layoff until games resume on December 20th. The pressure to win Saturday is ramped up because a 2-0 or 0-2 start will significantly impact my momentum in the postseason. My two picks are special to me because my first MAC stadium visit came at the Glass Bowl [...]
