TSM Pick 'Em Gauntlet: Week 3

by Dr. Charley West on Sep 17, 2009 2:08 PM EDT in Pick 'Em Gauntlet

After the last two weeks, this is WVUIE97's new residence. Some French doors would really open that place up.

Another week, yet another week of utter domination. Life is certainly good when you go 6-0. It's a shame I'm not actually betting on these games, as I would be living the life of luxury right now. Hell, at our current pace, WVUIE97 might end up as my butler.

Also, you'll note that Country Roads becomes our first person to pick against the Mountaineers this year. If you've ever played craps, it's like the guy playing the don't pass line: everyone at the table hates him, everyone's cheering for him to lose, and eventually, I end up getting in a fight with him. Should be a fun weekend for Country Roads.

On to the picks!

Yea, yea... I know

You know what I mean. Not cover the spread…

I dunno why,

I don’t have a great feeling about this game. I’m usually an opimist, too. I feel like they may gash us with their running game and play keep away, and I think our O-line is in for a rude awakening as well. We won’t get dominated, and maybe I’m just hoping to avoid a personal letdown on the trip if we do lose, but I see us coming up just short.

is this Columbo in disguise?

I need therapy.

I really think I’m just trying to manage my expectations so I won’t feel like the trip is a waste if we happen to lose. Then again, the sundresses alone may be worth the trip.

if the trend continues...

then the score should be WVU – 37, AU – 20…
I’d like that…

Thanks for the notice!

you guys still suck. but Auburn will swallow it down on saturday night.

This week we show the nation what we’re made of, it should be a helluva game!

Charley, i think you miss two this week. (GT and ND)

Good luck ladies!

BYU is my lock of the week.

FSU has allowed 4 or more pass plays of 15 + yards in its first two games.

BYU is going to throw all over these boys.

OK, you have a bet.

Loser has to take home the girl of the other’s choosing in Auburn. It’s a cow college, right?

by Dr. Charley West on Sep 17, 2009 3:42 PM EDT up reply actions

i couldn't let this one go.

i thought 5th year was taking his cow with him?

sorry 5th, it was too easy.

by cabincreekzeke on Sep 17, 2009 4:09 PM EDT up reply actions

Ummmm I am taking my cow with me.

I thought they were allowed into Jordan Hare

by 5th Year Senior on Sep 17, 2009 4:25 PM EDT up reply actions

Wait

Auburn’s mascot is the Cows? I’m confused.

another game that looks very good is texas tech vs texas. tt is getting 17 1/2 points.

you never give a high powered offense that many points. not even if it’s a revenge game. look at the houston vs okie state game. texas let la. monroe score 20 real points. they were not scrub points and wyoming was only down by 3 at halfttime. i expect tt to score at least 31 points. i can’t see texas to score more than 42. peace out. ramble on!

I think your best play

is the over on Barn/West by god…it’s at 56.5. That will be covered mid-way through the 3rd.

You always forget that Nebraska is a state until they pop up in the news about some guy who has 25 kids buried in his backyard
