It has been a long time! Many things have changed over this past year since the last post I made, some good, some very bad. Things happen for a reason I guess and god has a plan, but it sure would be nice to know ahead of time what that plan is, you know? As far as football goes, consider DA GOAT taking 2010 off to get some things in order and try to get 2011 going in the right direction. It will be a struggle and I will try harder then ever to keep the blog going, as I have a new appreciative group that is preparing to check out DA GOATS picks this year. As far as what has transpired this year, we lets touch on it a little bit:
“The Vest” has officially been removed, the entire State of Ohio had a day of mourning, and will never be the same. I said, and you can read the blog for proof that PRYOR was the biggest waste of space THE Ohio State University had ever seen outside of Maurice Clarett (which that situation should make since and been an eerie foretelling of things to come for that program), but hey what do you do, right? I got it! You get tatt’d up, sell all your OSU stuff, sign a few things, move 100 pound of grass, get a new car and then bolt to the NFL which is currently LOCKED OUT….PRYOR has to be the dumbest single individual this world has ever seen, and is A “typical”, and I will leave it at that. You reckon that new coach has some shoes to fill?!?!? MEEEECHIGAN fans are burning couches in the streets already…
Trent Richardson was involved in a “hit and run” incident in downtown Tuscaloosa. He is doing fine, but the car is totaled and some guys is missing his thorax…TRUE STORY.
Blain Gabbert has transferred to “Da Ville…they instantly got 100% better.
Oregon/LSU to open the Season in Dallas…EARLY lean is Oregon+1.5
Gotta jet….catch up after while

College Football 2010
Hello all GOAT followers! Your favorite slack-ass blogger is back and badder then ever! Sorry I haven't been on top of my game, but I'm gonna try "Real Hard" to stay on top of this blog.
First and foremost I would like to thank the "Oracle" for inspiring me to waste all of my down time on this "dad gum" computer (a little shout out to Mr. Bowden there) but hey, what else do i have to do besides staring out the window at Yacht's that I can't afford...Life is tough...Oh well!
Anyway, went 4-0 unposted on Thursday Night, but the rest of the GOAT's plays will be posted on this blog from here on out. The next play will be posted....well, hell...how bout right now!
BOISE ST-1
All of America is banging on the Boise St. Bronco's right now thinking that they are headed to Landover, MD to get hammer by the home crowd and VA TECH....Not gonna happen...
Boise St. returns 22 starters off of a team that went 14-0 last year and I have Chris Peterson and 11 weeks to prepare for the biggest game in the BOISE ST. tackle football history, yep I got a 4 star hunch that the boys from the smurf will show up and handle their business. Now, don't get me wrong, Frank Beamer will have his guys ready to play. They have one of the best returning back field's in the country and Beamer and Company are 0-4 in there last 4 openers vs. Ranked opponents. I think that Boise St. not only wins but they get away from Va Tech late.
So happy hunting everyone and look forward to covering your football needs this season. Post a comment or just check me out!
*DISCLAIMER: I never claim to go undefeated, but I will try to win more then I lose. Please proceed with caution and be responsible*

The Week that was in tackle football...
GOAT faithful,
Hello to all 6 of you that read this! Good day on Saturday, looking to add to it. “Buddy D” hopefully with your changes we did pretty good this week, don’t know if it was enough to win, but a respectable showing anyway!
GOAT NEWS
The new BCS standings are out right after the “GOAT Mid Season Report Cards”, coincidence?
The GOAT is saddened by the tough news that UCONN player Jasper Howard was cut down in his prime in a senseless on-campus incident that lead to his untimely death. After having a career game against Louisville, Jasper was involved in altercation after a school dance where he was stabbed in the abdomen and later died at the UCONN medical center. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, and the two teammates who tended to Howard directly after the attack, who watch their friend and teammate die in their arms.
Is the Oracle and I the only ones that has seen the erosion of a promising young QB? I’ll bet my shirt that Terrell Pryor is thinking now that RICHROD is not so crazy anymore. What a terrible waste of talent Pryor has become. The OSU offense is absolutely a “stack of acorns”, a piled up, jumbled mess. These jackasses’s can’t get out of their own way, and Pryor has become a TURNOVER MACHINE. I remember when this guy burst on to the scene, big press conference surrounded by microphones, giving “the Vest” and all of Columbus new hope that maybe….just maybe…they wouldn’t get beat by 20+ in another BCS bowl game. Fast forward to the present, and now “The Vest” is hoping to get an NFL call up, and Pryor looks worse than whoever is playing back-up at Bemidji St.?!!? Pryor may be a good WR in due time at the next level, but right now, give me the Washington St. defense and a half-hour to prepare and I’m dominating this guy for 4 quarters. OSU is now the 3rd best team in the state and that is being generous…
Idaho is 6-1 overall, 7-0 ATS (I cashed’um )…watch out…I smell a BCS buster…our fresh French fries
Officials don’t throw the game… and if the uprights were spread out 40 more feet …..Arkansas wins outright…, good lord that Arkansas kicker wasn’t even close…he was riding the FLORIDA ML!
If you still don’t believe that college football games are not fixed…please YOUTUBE the Troy/FIU game…and the Washington/IDAHO game for that matter…. (you will only need to watch the final :30 seconds of both games) Holy Crap! FIXED I TELL YOU! VEGAS WASN’T BUILT ON WINNERS
LOCK of the past weekend… Charlie Weiss stole his “Jump suit” from the grounds crew at ND stadium…Tell me someone else saw it!… Holy Fuzzy Grundels Spiderman! $2,000,000 a year at ND gets you a horrible “Maintenance Crew Jumper” and a 42” Zero Turn Lawn mower? I know your trying to save money, but don’t just broadcast “I’M GETTING FIRED”!!!
That shits confusing down there in ATL, ain’t it Frank….I tried to tell you, you should have checked out the blog, I gotcha covered…Like GT did…
Before I get out of here, I would like to give a warm congratulations to Tyler Brown of McComb, Ohio. The 16 year old scored his first and probably only TD of his life this past Friday Night. You see Tyler’s job up until this year has been manager of the McComb High football team, but this year the coach talked Tyler’s mom into letting him dress out for the football team. Tyler got his shot to play against Vanlue High School as McComb was leading 40-7 and he didn’t disappoint. Tyler went in as QB and scored on a 1 yard plunge to solidify a big win for McComb. Dylan Mears was suppose to get the call to hammer in the TD, as he was the workhorse on the drive, but he removed himself from the game so that Tyler could get the TD and the well deserved glory. Not bad for a young man that will never see the game tape, or the expressions on his team mate’s faces, or the score board light up afterwards, or the cheerleaders and fans screaming his name, or read his name in the local paper….. You see, Tyler Brown is blind, but that didn’t stop him from chasing, finding and grabbing his dream with both hands. Congrats again Tyler, you have Da GOAT’s upmost respect, as does your coach, and team mates.
Enjoy,
DA GOAT

Mid Season Report Cards
GOAT faithful,
Good evening, sorry I haven't been on top of my game with my posting, but I am back and hopefully will be filling you with more BS then you can handle! First and foremost, we had a great weekend with 5-1 on teaser and straight plays, looking to build on a running 13-4 record overall in the past three weeks. It appears that we did also improve on the "Buddy D" picks going 10-5, some of which I just blew it on and MIZZOU screwed us.
I believe it is time to hand out our Mid-season report cards, as it is a GOAT tradition, so lets see how every one shapes up and who is making the grade, so to speak.
1. Bama
Offense: B+
Balanced attacked, McElroy is efficient and workman like. Like to see Jones more involved. Running game is stout
Defense: A+
Hands down best in the country, No argument
Special Teams: B+
Only a B+ because Arenas hasn't HOUSED one yet....stay tuned
Coaching: A+ (The second coming of Jesus Christ...I took photo's of Saban at UK, there were angels surrounding him)
2. Florida
Offense: B+
Timmy TeBop is doing well, not spectacular, but he doesn't lose, whats not to like
Defense: A-
Big D, Needs to create more turnovers
Special Teams: B
Coaching: A+
3. USC
Offense: B
Freshman QB is good, and test against ND will tell the tale, lots of play makers around him, need to get it really rolling.
Defense: B-
You lost to Washington...enough said
Special Teams: B
Coaching: A-
You lost to Washington Pete?!?! Preparation falls back on you...
4. Ohio State
Offense: F-
Horrible, atrocious and just plain bad....Terrel Pryor has digressed, and now there starting RB is out...Run Jimmy...Run NOW
Defense: C-
Keeps them is ball games
Special Teams: B
Punting game gets lots of work
Coaching: F
You got an F Jim because your not smart enough to get out
5. VT
Offense: B
Taylor is learning to read defenses and is playing well, the running game is working.
Defense: A
BUD DAMN FOSTER
Special Teams: A
BEAMER BALL
Coaching: B+
6. G-Tech
Offense: B+
Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down, Up, Down, B, A, Select, Start...SCORPION WINS! Just Like Mortal Combat...Confusing as hell, but when you get it right, it looks really cool..
Defense: F-
Good Grief, glad you can score more then other people, cause you damn sure can't stop anyone...Less confusing shit on offense, more confusing shit on defense, it really that simple!
Special Teams: B
Coaching: A+
Only a smart cracker can get this garbage right..
7. Iowa

Special Teams: No Idea, so a C should be good here
Coaching: B+

Coaching: C
Bobby, you stay as long as you like..I'm moving on...But you just stay right there..
9. Texas
Offense: D
Where in the hell is the Offense Mack?!?! Jordan Shipley is great, but a double team will change that, and you can't run the ball worth a crap. Red River "Shoot Out" may turn into the Red River "change the channel - Out"..
Defense: B+
Lots of play makers, ball hawks all over the place, keeping you in the ball game
Special Teams: A
JORDAN SHIPLEY...everyone else can sit down
Coaching: A
Mack is Money
10. MEEEECHIGAN
Offense: B+
Love Forcier and "Shoe Lace" Denard Robinson. This offense is really good, but dang if they don't turn the dang ball over. If they don't turn the ball over 5 times, they beat Iowa outright.
Defense: B
Good defense, keeps them in ball game. Got play makers and can create turn overs.
Special Teams: A
Coaching: B
RICHROD hasn't taught the kids to protect the ball, starts with the coaching.
11. The "FLAMING" Illinois Illini
Offense: F "COUCH FIRE"
Juice to the bench?!!? Good Grief Zooker...you're embarrassing yourself and you coach in the BIG 10?!?! How the hell do you do that?
Defense: F "TIRE FIRE"
I stopped more offense then you did on Saturday...and I'M ON A BYE WEEK!
Special Teams: F "DUMPSTER FIRE"
More Like "Special Olympics Team"

Minus Lagarrattee Blount you look pretty good and Blount is coming back..watch out
Defense: B
Still play PAC-10 defense
Special Teams: B
Coaching: A

14: Notre Dame
Offense: B+
Good Offense with Clausen throwing it all over the place, running game is a lot better this year.
Defense: F
Concentrate Charlie…Concentrate! This were you’re getting KILLED. This is missing from your attack! You don’t have a defense, but I guess I get you’re philosophy…score more then the other team!
Special Teams: B
Coaching: C-
“Car Wreck Charlie” thank God for TOUCHDOWN JESUS!
15. Miami
Offense: A-
Jacory Harris is a man, and the running game is stout and relieves pressure off of Harris. This is a quietly good team…
Defense: B+
Gets the job done..Not THE U of old but getting pretty close
Special Teams: B
Coaching: A+
Randy Shannon has it figured out and has his kids buying into his program. He has surrounded himself with great people and his recruiting is tops in the country. Remember this team is still VERY YOUNG…
This is all I have for tonight…more to follow tomorrow evening!
Enjoy,

What will be blaring thru the loud speakers at Illinois Stadium on Saturday
Jump Around (ZOOKER STYLE)
We’ve Packed it up and packed it in
Let me begin
you came to win
If you lose to us that's a sin
We couldn’t tear a sack up
We don’t have a back up
Our running game is 2 yards and a Motha F-ing stack up
Get up, stand up, run it up!
Come on, you can put some points up
Our QB throws it and it’s a drop
and I got more BAD Schemes than there's cops at the Dunkin
Donuts shop
Sure 'nuff I get the finger from the kids on the Hill
Plus my mom and my pops
We’ve shut it down [2x]
Zooker’s sorry ass has ran us into the ground
into the ground [3x]
pull up the bus and hammer down.
Score! [18x]
Zooker’s backers are eating crow
If have any suggestions how to win let me know
Word to your moms, just throw long bombs
Juice is on the bench and our defense is wrong
And just like the Prodigal Son I've returned
and if you take the POINTS, you're bound to get burned
Cause you got offense and I ain't got none
So if you come to win just run the shotgun
Yo I’m a tool, I’m overrated and I drool
Try and step to me you'll cash your bet that’s the rule
I gots no skill, come get your fills
I got ADD and I need my f**kin pills
We’ve shut it down [2x]
Zooker’s sorry ass has ran us into the ground
into the ground [3x]
pull up the bus and hammer down.
Score! [18x]
I'm the bottom of the barrel, I wish I was Pete Carroll
Somebody call the “Roughriders” and get me Graham Harrell
Or better yet the terminator
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger
We got no hope, we even suck on Sega
I’m going out like a bitch
I’ve dug my own ditch
Can someone help me out and Me and Urban switch
Come to our town, We’ve laid the f**k down
Even Steve Krapthorpe thinks I'm a clown
Recruits! I’m coming to get ya, coming to get ya
Spitting out bullshit and should be fired in Novemba!
We’ve shut it down [2x]
Zooker’s sorry ass has ran us into the ground
into the ground [3x]
pull up the bus and hammer down.

Da GOAT
We’ve Packed it up and packed it in
Let me begin
you came to win
If you lose to us that's a sin
We couldn’t tear a sack up
We don’t have a back up
Our running game is 2 yards and a Motha F-ing stack up
Get up, stand up, run it up!
Come on, you can put some points up
Our QB throws it and it’s a drop
and I got more BAD Schemes than there's cops at the Dunkin
Donuts shop
Sure 'nuff I get the finger from the kids on the Hill
Plus my mom and my pops
We’ve shut it down [2x]
Zooker’s sorry ass has ran us into the ground
into the ground [3x]
pull up the bus and hammer down.
Score! [18x]
Zooker’s backers are eating crow
If have any suggestions how to win let me know
Word to your moms, just throw long bombs
Juice is on the bench and our defense is wrong
And just like the Prodigal Son I've returned
and if you take the POINTS, you're bound to get burned
Cause you got offense and I ain't got none
So if you come to win just run the shotgun
Yo I’m a tool, I’m overrated and I drool
Try and step to me you'll cash your bet that’s the rule
I gots no skill, come get your fills
I got ADD and I need my f**kin pills
We’ve shut it down [2x]
Zooker’s sorry ass has ran us into the ground
into the ground [3x]
pull up the bus and hammer down.
Score! [18x]
I'm the bottom of the barrel, I wish I was Pete Carroll
Somebody call the “Roughriders” and get me Graham Harrell
Or better yet the terminator
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger
We got no hope, we even suck on Sega
I’m going out like a bitch
I’ve dug my own ditch
Can someone help me out and Me and Urban switch
Come to our town, We’ve laid the f**k down
Even Steve Krapthorpe thinks I'm a clown
Recruits! I’m coming to get ya, coming to get ya
Spitting out bullshit and should be fired in Novemba!
We’ve shut it down [2x]
Zooker’s sorry ass has ran us into the ground
into the ground [3x]
pull up the bus and hammer down.
Score! [32x]

The National "Touch" Football League
GOAT Faithful,
As promised, today I will be touching on what’s going on in the NFL. Here is my assessment of the first couple of weeks of NFL football.
1. NE - Tom Brady, step it up and quit worrying about your knee. I need you to carry my fantasy team and right now, you’re no better than Kerry Collins and your killing me. Hitting is part of football and somewhere during the recovery process, you forgot that.
2. Browns – Holy Horse Crap ya’ll are bad! What a debacle of a football team. No QB, No RB, and a WR that likes to pick “Bar Fights” with 5’0 guys. I will be dropping you Mr. Edwards from my fantasy team because you’re a “Gutterball”, and I guess you might as well pick bar fights, because you’re “HANDS” are not good for anything else, much less catching a football.
3. Redskins – Dan, you paid WAY too much for “Albert Haynesworst” and not enough for Jay Cutler. This team is worst then bad, it’s “North Texas” bad. Campbell couldn’t win a fight with against a man with NO ARMS, and Portis has nothing to work with. The offense is horrible and the defense is not very good. This team does fit the city it’s in…”turmoil at every position; and spending WAY too much money and getting NO RESULTS”
4. Saints – High flying and fun to watch. Good team, needs more defense, could make the playoff’s and do well.
5. Jets – Rex Ryan “talks the talk”, and thus far has “walked the walk” win a big win against NE. Mark Sanchez has done really well this year and is maturing before our very eyes. If he can do just enough to win and keep from trying to do too much, then the defense has a chance to carry this team into the play offs.
6. Baltimore – LOTS - O –TALENT, and Flacco is the real deal in his second year at the QB spot. “Whatchu talk’n bout” Willis McGahee has been a huge help to my fantasy team and a huge player in Baltimore. Couple with the best NFL defense, this is a team, that if it can get past NE and the Steelers in the playoff, may be good enough to get rings this year. Oh, and a COVERING MACHINE thus far(Until NE this week, but I’m not mad)
7. San Fran. – Mike Singletary has found it in SF this year and his players are buying into it. Hard nose defense and an efficient offense have this team looking really good early on. A tough road will tell if this team can get to the playoffs. The loss of Frank Gore may hurt if Glenn Coffee cannot pick up the slack. Every week this team is in a position to win and had it not been for MIRACLEFARVE then they would be undefeated at this point.
8. Dallas – Good Damn Jesus….Did you just lose to Denver?!?!? You got a 750 million dollar scoreboard that keeps getting LIT UP by the OTHER TEAMS! Wade Phillips is an “Oil Rig Fire” and Tony Homo is “Speed Boat Wreck”. You got rid of T.O. too help you solve your problems, which gave you a whole new set of problems….you got rid of TD! You looked good the first couple of weeks against the “Bottom feeders of the NFL” but then the NY football tackle GIANTS brought you back down to Earth. HOMO+PHILLIPS+JONES+NO TO=”SHORT BUS FIRE”
9. Philly – Put VICK in…RIGHT NOW
10. Detroit – Congrats on winning your first game in 2 yrs! You beat the “Deadskins”. 1-15 is not 0-16! Champagne everyone and let’s quit now!
11. Vikings – All hail BRETT FARVE!!! This guy is unreal, I mean he’s getting AARP mail, yet is 26-5 in his last 31 games with a good rocket. He has plenty of zip on the ball and has not shown any signs of “IMPLODING” to date. Adrian Peterson is a little upset with lack of carries, but with sacrifice comes rewards. Farve is worth every penny to date and know has beaten every team in the NFL, including the Packers last night. This is a Super Bowl team with a balanced attack and good defense. It’s going to be interesting to see how this team reacts after a loss.
12. Chicago – Hello Mr. Cutler, welcome home! Remember, this is a “Blue Collar” town that doesn’t want to hear you’re whining, so keep lighting it up and you will be just fine. Love to see Cutler doing well here, like the new Cutler, not the old one!
13. St. Louis – Good Grief…”Greatest Show on Turf” has turned into the “Greatest loss of Self-Worth” or “Greatest curse on Turf” take your pick….
14. Indy – PEYTON MANNING
15. The Damn Carolina Panthers – Although the Carolina Panthers had a NON- LOSS this week due to having a “BYE”, Jake Delhomme still had it rough. Delhomme threw 4 picks, 2 pick “6’s”, had a fumble loss and was sacked 8 times while playing QB in a “Special Olympics” sponsored Quadriplegic wheelchair pick up football game on Sunday. He was benched at the half...
This is all I have for now on the NFL, there is a lot to touch on, but I haven’t the time at the moment. More to follow tomorrow! Enjoy!

Week 4
GOAT Faithful,
Did not get to post my picks as I was tailgating in Lexington, Ky. For the record, the GOAT had:
Straight Lines
West Virginia -17
Northwestern+8 (CASHED)
NCSU +3.5
Washington+13.5 (CASHED)
Washington/ND Over (CASHED)
Miami +7.5 (CASHED)
Bama-16.5 (CASHED)
Auburn +2.5 (CASHED)
Houston-15
Tease:
Arky+6
Cal +12
Miami+15
Parlay:
Northwestern/Bama (CASHED)
NFL:
Tease: (CASHED)
Saints-1
San Diego+12
Oh well, doesn’t matter now! Moving right along….The week that was College tackle football #4 was as good as advertised. I will discuss what the GOAT brought away from this week. I will also be including NFL action in this discussion tommorrow. So here are the high points of the College Football week.
1. WEST VIRGINIA - WV is an absolute “Coal Mine Fire”…capping this team is like catching fish in dried up pond. 4 fumbles in the red zone, an interception and an immediate fumble, and a defense that allowed Colorado to score 24 points! Noel is DEVINE, scampering for 220 yards and 2 Tds and they were covering 35-17. But, in true WV fashion, they lay down and let Colorado score in the end and get the cover with :03 left. I bet Slaton and White got PAID on this one. (They have before).
2. LOUISVILLE - “THE VILLE”…..”THE VILLE”?!?!?! Are you f**king kidding me?!?!? Not only has Kragthorpe successfully run this program in the ground, but now, they have “THE VILLE” written across the front of their uniforms. I have seen some stupid things in my day, and this ranks easily in my top 5. This is not Miami, and you are not Thug U. This is a well respected, red blooded, higher education university. I would be absolutely embarrassed and would not contribute another damn dime to this program if my life depended on it, if I were a Booster. Get this guy out of there before he rubs off on Petino! Not to mention you got “Skull Drug” by Dave Wannstead??!
3. ILLINOIS - Hey Juicy, stop throwing it to the other team and your “NFL DRAFT STOCK” will quit plummeting. I know it doesn’t help that the “Zooker” has packed it in for the winter, but hang in there buddy, They always need half-ass talent in the Canadian Leagues.
4. MIAMI - Randy Shannon is worth every penny he has EARNED at Miami. I hate it, but Miami is for real.
5. ALABAMA - Bama is my #1 team, if I had a vote. Try to argue? DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS.
6. Cal - I have not seen a team implode like CAL in a long time! What a damn joke. Not only are they bad, but they are REAL BAD. 72-6 in 2 GAMES?!?!? Best is a good running back against SUSPECT defenses, he is not Heisman Material.
7. OKLAHOMA - The “SOONER” SANK somewhere off the Miami coast!!! QB’s are important, and Teaching BACK-UP QB’s is just as important. Bob, please tell Landry Jones that he is not Magnum PI, shave the ‘stache and win a meaningful ball game. Your going down in flames!
8. FSU – You make me sick
9. AUBURN – Look out SEC, Chisick(sp?) has got a 5-0 ball club on his hands, and they look good! Chesick(sp?) has now won more games at Auburn in one season then he did in his entire tenure at Iowa State. It’s unbelievable how speed and talent can make a coach look good and his prior team look so bad. Long road ahead, but this team may make some waves if they keep winning.
10. Oregon – after their debacle on the road at Boise St., Chip Kelly has got this team rolling. They look really good against CAL and have one big test left playing USC at home, might be a ROSEY future for this team, especially if the RUNNING GAME gets back on track(more on that later).
11. Notre Dame – I mean, this team really has “JESUS” on their side. The Luck is still alive and well.
12. Houston – I talk you up, and you let me down…back to being a “Never gonna be”
I reserve this time to commend Chip Kelly. LaGarrette Blount did not deserve a year long suspension, and I think that if he has stuck to the program that Kelly put in place for him, then by all means, let him play ball. A lot have and will disagree, but it is just like the GOAT said. If he does get re-instated, then cooler heads did prevail. Oregon jumped the gun on the year long suspension, plain and simple. If it were Tebow, Bradford, or McCoy that did this, 1-4 game would be enough. He, like Vick, has served enough time. I am very pleased with this decision on the part of the Oregon Athletic Program.
Tomorrow is being reserved for the NFL.

The week that was...
GOAT Faithful,
Nice weekend going 6-3 overall, did better than we have been and now it's time to reflect upon the last week's debacle that was tackle football, college style!
1. Tebow must have sinned at some point during the week, because GOD had him BLOWN UP on Saturday...DANG! If he wasn't then, I bet he's "God Fearing" now..
2. Like i said before, Miami did not deserve a high ranking...that was short lived
3. About FSU and their Saturday performance....I quote the guy from "Waterboy"...
"WE SUCK AGAIN!!!"
4. Oregon is money at home...and get them on the road and you may have a "Fight" on your hands.
5. Bama is probably the best team in the country
6. Stanford is pretty good, at home anyway
7. Penn St. was exposed, and they are typical Big 10
8. Iowa is a good football team, in the Big 10, maybe outside as well...
9. Miss St. has an offensive coordinator that needs to be fired.
10. Houston may go undefeated and be a BCS Buster
11. I was drinking the "Ole Miss" Kool-aid, it sucked, they suck, and the Ole’ Ball Coach finally has a decent football team, watch out SC might get rolling!
12. Ohio St. had a big win against illinois…..they still suck, sorry...
13. ND has the “Luck -o- The Irish”, how long will it last?
14. Colt McCoy is racking up the stats…just give that guy the trophy already and spare the trip to NY
15. Defensive “Genius” Gene Chezik is racking up gaudy stats and has Auburn scoring in droves…but the SEC is built on defense, better find some before going to “Rocky Top” this week, “Guru”…
That’s all I got for now, picks coming later on in the week.
*Also, My public apology to follower "Buddy D", I'm sorry I didn't get your info/comment from you in a timely manner. My count has my posted picks at 9-4 for this past week forthe games you requested. Don't know if it would have been strong enough, but get me the info this week, I will do my best to help you out*

Week 3 in the world of college tackle football
GOAT faithful,
For the second week in a row, I did very poorly. We did hit Iowa which kept us above water, but right now I am very COLD. Everyone goes thru rough patches, and here is mine! What great timing! I will still keep at it though, as I again remind you this is a marathon, and not a sprint! Week 3 was interesting to say the least and would like to take this time to discuss my opinion of the weekend that was. Everyone does a “Contender/Pretender” bit, and I have my own “HOT/NOT” list….so, here goes…
HOT LIST:
1. Alabama
HOT- The Tide is rolling right now, hitting on all cylinders, but have a big test this weekend in Arkansas. Da GOAT thinks this game is a lot closer then the “Sharps” think it’s going to be. Lots of tough games left, but give me Saban and this talent and I think BAMA NATION will be just fine in the end….
2. Florida
HOT- The only reason they get the “Hot” nod, is for there “Non-loss” to Tennessee. Not only did they not cover the spread, but Florida looked VERY venerable in this game. I personally think that Tennessee beat themselves more than Florida beat Tennessee. I give a lot of credit to Lane Kiffon, for having his team ready and believing they could do the unthinkable. A couple of breaks and this is the story of the weekend, if not the year. Eric Berry is as good as advertised, but Tebow did DUMPTRUCK him in this game. This may get VERY interesting late in the season, as this team could stub there toe…stay tuned
3. FSU
HOT-Holy Toledo Batman! Just when everyone outside of Tallahassee threw the towel in on my beloved NOLES, they jump up and bunch “BIG LOVE” in the MOUTH!!!! Not only was this game lopsided from the beginning, but FSU looked like a real contender. Don’t forget that if a TRUE FRESHMAN doesn’t drop the ball in the end zone, we are 3-0 and ranked probably in the top 10. But, that’s what happens on Saturday’s and it’s water under the bridge now. If we play like we played against BYU the entire season, we could make some REAL NOISE in the end. I will be interested to see how we bounce back this week; against a good South Florida team minus Matt Grothe (I hope he had a PHAT insurance policy).
4. THE U
HOT- Jacory Harris is for real. Miami’s Defense is for real. Whipple is for real. Shannon is for real. But is MIAMI as a whole for real? I think that this week is the real test for this team, as Blacksburg is tough place to play. If this were a night game, I would give Miami NO SHOT, but V-Tech just came off of an emotional win against Nebraska, and will have to get up for this game. If Miami can go into Blacksburg and win, WATCH OUT. I think they have played like a top 10 ball club, but I don’t think they need to be ranked there just yet. They still have V-Tech and Oklahoma, and if they past those tests then move them WAY UP, but not just yet. Are they back? Maybe, but if you think they are why not FSU? Time will tell for this team, the sky is the limit right now.
5. Washington Huskies
HOT- Steve Sarkisian and Jake Locker. Not only have they already won more games than last year, but they took down the “Men of Troy” and looked pretty good doing it. Sarkisian has to stay on top of this team, as they are due for a “let down” this week going to GIAT KILLER Stanford, so we will see how Steve handles the pressure. BTW- Back to the last week discussion. Now answer me this…. How does Washington stop the #3 ranked team in the country for 4 quarters, but can’t stop the #119 team from going 97 yards and “back door covering”? FIXED I TELL YOU!!!!!
The NOT SO HOT Top 5:
1. USC
NOT- Pete, for the second year in a row, you beat OSU (not a big feat here lately) and then shits the bed in the game right after that. TWO YEARS IN A ROW! Damn it Pete, quit surfing and start coaching you goofy bastard! You’re killing me! I know, Aaron Corp sucks, but give me Joe McKnight, 35 carries, and that O-Line, and I can do REAL DAMAGE to Washington! Not to mention, I know you saw Idaho do it! Watch game film, instead of “Baywatch” re-runs! You are an absolute class act, but you can’t coach yourself out of a paper sack the third week of the season! I am interested to see how this team reacts and if they can still make a run.
2. Ohio State
NOT- I just put you on the list to say again….YOU SUCK. That’s all. Oh and nice work against Toledo, or Temple or whoever the hell else you were playing. I look forward to you guys playing someone with a heart beat in the near future so I can bash you some more!
3. North Texas
NOT- I should have known better. Back to reality. All 16 people in Denton, TX are now $49.99 short on the rent because of the PPV, and you’re back to being a “P-ON” again. Ya’ll are NOT a “GREEN MACHINE” but rather an “OUT OF CONTROL TIRE FIRE”….Good God man! Ya’ll should petition the university to change your mascot to the “A FLAMING MICHELIN MAN”!!!! ”Everything in Texas is big”....Like your point spreads and your margin’s of losses.
4. Georgia Tech
NOT- Hand it to this guy, hand it to that guy, confuse the hell out of everyone, and then get your ass HANDED TO YOU. Da GOAT was high on this team, but the more I watch them play, the more I see that they can’t play. Coach Johnson, this offense was great at Navy or Air Farse or wherever you came from, but not here, not anymore. Nesbitt is a “basket case” with an out of control throwing shoulder, and I think your offense even confuses you sometimes. Good luck the rest of the way, because at the rate you’re going, you might need a HAND…from another coach on the staff…
5. Urban Meyer
NOT- You know, I think Urban is a great coach, and probably a great individual, but his latest act was “classless”. I have never seen a coach make excuses for a WIN?!?! Did I miss something? You won the game. You have the best QB/Virgin in the country. You have 11 starters back on defense. Yet you still felt the need to take a jab at Tennessee after you beat them on Saturday, by saying you didn’t win BIG because you had “Sick players”?!? NO SIR. What you should have said, was that you were: “Out Played”, and dare I say…”Out Coached” by Lane Kiffon and Tennessee? Yep, that WAS the case. I commend Kiffon for firing back at you, and you deserve all the criticism that is thrown your way. From this point forward, don’t make excuses, just go out and play and let the game do the talking. I really thought you were a “class act”, but I’m beginning to think you’re nothing more than a “pompas ass” with a great QB to hide behind, kinda like when you were at UTAH with Alex Smith..HMMM.
Those are the GOAT’s top 5 of each from this past weekend. Good slate for the upcoming week, so stay tuned…
BTW- I found out that Tim Tebow has a sushi roll named after him by a local restaurant in Gainsville, FL. It is called the “Tim TeROLL”. The real version contained “marbles, gravel, arsenic, HGH, OMG, WTF, kryptonite, frosted flakes, and Fix -a- Flat”. It was replaced with a scaled down version after the restaurant figured out that Tebow was the only on that could actually eat it with the original ingredients. I was told it’s a hit with the locals, and ironically enough and contrary to popular belief about sushi, this roll is NOT a natural aphrodisiac….go figure?
Till next time, stay up!
Da GOAT
For the second week in a row, I did very poorly. We did hit Iowa which kept us above water, but right now I am very COLD. Everyone goes thru rough patches, and here is mine! What great timing! I will still keep at it though, as I again remind you this is a marathon, and not a sprint! Week 3 was interesting to say the least and would like to take this time to discuss my opinion of the weekend that was. Everyone does a “Contender/Pretender” bit, and I have my own “HOT/NOT” list….so, here goes…
HOT LIST:
1. Alabama
HOT- The Tide is rolling right now, hitting on all cylinders, but have a big test this weekend in Arkansas. Da GOAT thinks this game is a lot closer then the “Sharps” think it’s going to be. Lots of tough games left, but give me Saban and this talent and I think BAMA NATION will be just fine in the end….
2. Florida
HOT- The only reason they get the “Hot” nod, is for there “Non-loss” to Tennessee. Not only did they not cover the spread, but Florida looked VERY venerable in this game. I personally think that Tennessee beat themselves more than Florida beat Tennessee. I give a lot of credit to Lane Kiffon, for having his team ready and believing they could do the unthinkable. A couple of breaks and this is the story of the weekend, if not the year. Eric Berry is as good as advertised, but Tebow did DUMPTRUCK him in this game. This may get VERY interesting late in the season, as this team could stub there toe…stay tuned
3. FSU
HOT-Holy Toledo Batman! Just when everyone outside of Tallahassee threw the towel in on my beloved NOLES, they jump up and bunch “BIG LOVE” in the MOUTH!!!! Not only was this game lopsided from the beginning, but FSU looked like a real contender. Don’t forget that if a TRUE FRESHMAN doesn’t drop the ball in the end zone, we are 3-0 and ranked probably in the top 10. But, that’s what happens on Saturday’s and it’s water under the bridge now. If we play like we played against BYU the entire season, we could make some REAL NOISE in the end. I will be interested to see how we bounce back this week; against a good South Florida team minus Matt Grothe (I hope he had a PHAT insurance policy).

GOAT Faithful,
What it is! Last night Miami’s beating of the Jackets has the GOAT starting this week off on the right track. I am looking to improve on last week’s drubbing I took at the hands of Las Vegas. Got several games lined up this week and we will get to those in due time.
For the moment, it is time for the breakdown that has been dubbed “Clash of the Titans” by local Denton, TX experts in:
The “Pride of Denton, Tx.” vs. The “Pride of the State of Alabama”
WHEN: Saturday
WHERE: Tuscaloosa, AL
WHO: North Texas/Alabama
CAPACITY: 93,000
“Talent” METER: 10
LINE: 39.5
LEAN: GREEN MACHINE +40.0 (BTH)
On Saturday the world will stop and every TV in America will be tuned into to watch a true “David vs. Goliath” battle at 12:30. ESPN KNOWS this is a HUGE game (to some folks) as it will be on display on their respective network! (ESPN GAMEPLAN anyway). This game may pull a PPV record in the town of Denton as North Texas football has this tiny spot on God’s great earth excited like never before. All 16 people in Denton will be sitting in front of their neighbor’s TV to see one of the greatest upsets in college football history! Yep, Da GOAT said it! And here is how I think it plays out:
North Texas (DAVID)
It has been said that there are probably 40-50 high school football teams in Great state of Texas that could HOUSE North Texas in tackle football, and some even say that they do not belong in D-1 football. UNTIL THIS YEAR. Old….Uh…What’s his name (It doesn’t matter), will have this team ready to get rolled….er….ready to roll on Saturday when they visit Tuscaloosa, Alabama! North Texas opened the season going to Ball St. and pulling out a MONSTER win 17-10. They came home to couches burning and champagne falling from the sky (PBR being spilled from balconies). Ball St. , it seemed, woke up a sleeping giant. Then the Green Machine started their home season bid by getting hosed by Ohio 31-30. It took the mighty Bobcats of Ohio a full regulation game and 2 OT’S to get the job done, finally winning out on a 2 pt. conversion that the replay showed CLEARLY “might” have been no good if the player would have dropped the ball. The ONLY reason the GOAT believes that the GREEN MACHINE lost this ballgame was the weather! It was pouring rain, a monsoon even, and every time Ohio got the ball the rain let up (as well as the N. Texas defense).
Riley Dodge (you WILL forget this name) put up “Tom Brady” style numbers completing a mind boggling 12 of 20 for 117 yards and touchdown! It wasn’t until the “grass monster” took a cheap shot on Dodge, that “Mr. Denton” Nathan Tune (who?) got his shot and lit up the stat sheet completing 9 more passed for 69 more yards. These numbers appear to be skewed as stated before; a tropical storm was located over Denton, TX during this game. I have no idea who is going to be the starting QB for North Texas when the bus arrives in Tide Town, but either way the GREEN MACHINE is loaded at the quarterback position. Either guy is good and could probably be the starting QB at any school in the country not in D-1, and that is being conservative! If one of these guys a “hot hand” against the TIDE, WATCH OUT, because it could be a long day….
Cam Montgomery is a good a back as any 4th stringer in the country, and he had a great day against the Bobcats as well. He “Peterson’d” it for 88 yards on just 22 carries. That’s a 4 yard average, against a very stingy Ohio defense that was one of the top in the country last year ranking in the top 110 (109 respectively) in the country last year; the guy is a beast! I personally think that he could have broken the 100 yard mark with more carries, and less rain, and more time on the clock. Montgomery is a speedy guy who averages 6.1 yards per carry with a 25 long TD. He averages 118 yards a game and if he gets loose in the ‘Bama secondary, he has a chance to take it the distance provided no one gets in his way. North Texas is averaging 205 yards on the ground a game, and they need to get this going against Alabama, but this number may fall off ever so slightly against a decent Bama defense that ranks a lowly 3rd in the country.
Royce Hill will anchor a MEAN GREEN defense that will be getting after Bama all day on Saturday, especially in the first half. Hill has 2 interceptions this year and a host of tackles. Co-Anchor of the defense is Tobe Nwigwe (I have no idea how to pronounce it) who is an animal piling up 10 solo tackles in their near non-loss to Ohio.
Da GOAT feels that N. Texas has all the tools in place to get the job done against Alabama in the first half and think that if they play WAY above their heads, then the a 3rd quarter win is not out of the question. If they play WAY above their heads and bring ball bats and CHUCK NORRIS, they win the game out right….OR ELSE!
ALABAMA (Goliath)
On offense, the Tide look to Greg McElroy (not to be confused with “Roy McElvoy”) to guide the offense against the GREEN MACHINE. McElroy is a quite leader that comes in sporting a workman like stat sheet going 33/54 for 471 and 2 TD’s. I like McElroy; I think that he will continue to gel as the leader of the Tide and should do just enough in this game not to lose.
Trent Richardson (You should NOT forget this name) is going to be a star. He is a V12 jaguar; smooth and fast when you need it, powerful and strong when it counts. He is averaging 7.1 yards a carry with 2 TD’s one coming from 35 yards out. Mark Ingram, Roy Upchurch and Terry Grant with also share the touches, which may bode well for the Tide in the second half, where they should be able to wear down the North Texas defense.
The defense is strong, but does have a tendency to go to sleep at the wheel, giving up garbage when they shouldn’t…..and this is where NORTH TEXAS will be strong…GARBAGE TIME!
Look I like my “Kool-Aid” MEAN & GREEN, but I have to be a realist. North Texas will hang tough in this ball game, and will cover 40 points. Alabama is strong and in a difference class; and they do have a big non-conference game on the horizon with Arkansas the following week. I think if they fall asleep like they did against FIU last week, North Texas has the talent this year to do the unthinkable. I like North Texas to cover in this ballgame….GO GREEN MACHINE
Oh, yeah…the GIANT SIZE UPSET I was talking about earlier in the game, I just had to “hype” up game breakdown….unless CHUCK NORRIS shows up…
Enjoy,

What Sayeth Da' GOAT?
GOAT faithful,
I want to first apologize, I have been out of the loop with no internet signal while I’m staying in “God’s Country”. Hell, I don’t even have a phone signal! But anyway, I do want to update the crew on what’s been going on with the GOAT and give a shout out to “THE GREEN MACHINE” with a great effort on Saturday! 1-1 NEVER looked so good! I’m calling you 2-0 until further notice!
Last week was a BLOOD BATH, as the GOAT got destroyed…I couldn’t catch a break! I’ve put out an APB for “MY SHIRT”….and the “Washington Huskies” defense! Poor bastards cost me a backdoor cover, personally I think the “fix” was in, I mean, how do you hold a team to FG’s all day. Then with 2 minutes left you let IDAHO…F**KING I-DA-HO put together an 8 play 97 yard drive, scoring a TD with :07 seconds left to cover by .5?!?!?! FIXED I TELL YOU!!!! I’m still bitter….
Last week was a grease fire for several Teams, here’s Da GOAT’s TOP 5:
1. Okie St.
Mike “FUZZY” Grundy, you suck…and so does your defense…I hope you lose out…”You’re a man…you’re 40”…and should be ranked that in the country…Bunch of bumbling idiots..
2. Notre Dame
The Golden “I give” Domers made a liar out of “Drunk Uncle Lou”….again. “Touchdown Jesus”…HELL....how about “DEFENSE……JESUS?!!?!?” MEEECHIGAN is NOT GOOD…So I guess you’re worse than NOT GOOD…you’re HORRIBLE. Charlie Weiss, your “PANTS ARE ON FIRE” my friend…go ahead and change the name plate on the door to read “Brian Kelly”. I guess that “Interim” sign was the truth.
3. Tennessee
Lane you’re a f**cking “DOUCHE CANOE”, and I want to personally welcome you to the SWAMP… and GOAT faithful to….LAY THE POINTS. I guess you have never seen an UNDER ARMOUR commercial, because you damn sure didn’t practice the slogan “WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE”…Hell you got your head kicked in for 60 minutes in YOUR HOUSE by UCLA, the bottom feeder of the PAC-10, and it’s only going to get worse this week. I predict a 56-0 nothing ballgame, because you suck, and so does your team.
4. FSU
Dad Gum! Took every bit of those 60 minutes to dispatch JACKSONVILLE ST.?!?!? We’re horrible, we weren’t looking ahead, we ARE that bad. The Morman’s are going to beat us up like their 13 wives on hump day…glad I don’t get the channel the games going to be on…Jimbo + Bowden + Dad Gum = THIS IS GONNA GET UGLY.
5. THE University of Higher Education located in Columbus, OH
Da GOAT doesn’t give a rats ass that you “Played a good game” or that “you lost in the end”, you still lost, and you will forever suck. You cannot beat anyone with a heart beat outside of the Big 10. Face it, your garbage, plain and simple. Don’t blame Jim Tressel for playing conservative football. Blame Jim Tressel for not recruiting any talent. “The herd” said it best when he said “they simply get beat by better teams with better players”. You are now 0-forever against the PAC-10 and SEC. Not to mention, you let a freshman come into the “shoe” and lead a game winning, “Tom Brady style” drive to beat you. Good grief ya’ll are horrible. Of course the media still thinks that you should be ranked…I DON’T. Ya’ll are no better than Akron or Toledo, because you can beat up most in your conference, but the minute you step out against the BIG BOYS, you get “SKULL F**KED” all over the field. Dissolve the athletic program now, before it gets worse! Tressel, trade the vest for a plane ticket out of Columbus….
Da GOAT’s “Prime Time” players of the week:
1. Matt Barkley
2. Case Kellum
3. Tate Forcier
4. UCLA
5. Tim Tebow
6. Joe McKnight
7. Tiger Woods!
Da GOAT has put an APB out for: My Shirt, Alabama’s Defense, ND’s BCS bowl bid, Ohio St.’s talent, Okie St.’s defense, Washington’s cover, Tim Tebow’s girlfriend, Bobby Bowden’s retirement consultant.
Also:
I will be breaking down the N. Texas/Bama game tomorrow as promised, but “Open Mic” has been suspended for this week due to lack of internet service, so thank T-MOBILE. I cannot properly analysis the games, because I have no access to information. I will get some looks tomorrow or Friday during the day, so we should be prepared for the weekend! Feel free to ask for opinions on games, just not big write up’s this week ONLY. “Open Mic” will return next week!
As far as the MIAMI/G-TECH game tomorrow night, Da GOAT is leaning toward Miami at the moment. Miami showed us a lot against FSU, and have had 10 days to prepare for G-TECH, who tried to give their game away against Clemson. . G-TECH looked good in the first half against Clemson, but they’re offense was not the reason. They actually only scored 10 pts. In the first half, the rest coming off of Special Teams plays. Nesbit was a “Mess” every time he threw the ball, mostly because his “twards” was a little…well, WAY off…He could sand if he fell of a camel last week. Try that against Miami, and you will get HOUSED…
Now, I cannot ignore that “ROAD DOGS” are now 2-0 ATS with Clemson and South Carolina both covering on the road on Thursday Night. I will be looking at this game tomorrow and giving my play tomorrow evening after further analysis.
Enjoy,
Da GOAT
I want to first apologize, I have been out of the loop with no internet signal while I’m staying in “God’s Country”. Hell, I don’t even have a phone signal! But anyway, I do want to update the crew on what’s been going on with the GOAT and give a shout out to “THE GREEN MACHINE” with a great effort on Saturday! 1-1 NEVER looked so good! I’m calling you 2-0 until further notice!
Last week was a BLOOD BATH, as the GOAT got destroyed…I couldn’t catch a break! I’ve put out an APB for “MY SHIRT”….and the “Washington Huskies” defense! Poor bastards cost me a backdoor cover, personally I think the “fix” was in, I mean, how do you hold a team to FG’s all day. Then with 2 minutes left you let IDAHO…F**KING I-DA-HO put together an 8 play 97 yard drive, scoring a TD with :07 seconds left to cover by .5?!?!?! FIXED I TELL YOU!!!! I’m still bitter….
Last week was a grease fire for several Teams, here’s Da GOAT’s TOP 5:
1. Okie St.
Mike “FUZZY” Grundy, you suck…and so does your defense…I hope you lose out…”You’re a man…you’re 40”…and should be ranked that in the country…Bunch of bumbling idiots..
2. Notre Dame
The Golden “I give” Domers made a liar out of “Drunk Uncle Lou”….again. “Touchdown Jesus”…HELL....how about “DEFENSE……JESUS?!!?!?” MEEECHIGAN is NOT GOOD…So I guess you’re worse than NOT GOOD…you’re HORRIBLE. Charlie Weiss, your “PANTS ARE ON FIRE” my friend…go ahead and change the name plate on the door to read “Brian Kelly”. I guess that “Interim” sign was the truth.
3. Tennessee
Lane you’re a f**cking “DOUCHE CANOE”, and I want to personally welcome you to the SWAMP… and GOAT faithful to….LAY THE POINTS. I guess you have never seen an UNDER ARMOUR commercial, because you damn sure didn’t practice the slogan “WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE”…Hell you got your head kicked in for 60 minutes in YOUR HOUSE by UCLA, the bottom feeder of the PAC-10, and it’s only going to get worse this week. I predict a 56-0 nothing ballgame, because you suck, and so does your team.
4. FSU
Dad Gum! Took every bit of those 60 minutes to dispatch JACKSONVILLE ST.?!?!? We’re horrible, we weren’t looking ahead, we ARE that bad. The Morman’s are going to beat us up like their 13 wives on hump day…glad I don’t get the channel the games going to be on…Jimbo + Bowden + Dad Gum = THIS IS GONNA GET UGLY.
5. THE University of Higher Education located in Columbus, OH
Da GOAT doesn’t give a rats ass that you “Played a good game” or that “you lost in the end”, you still lost, and you will forever suck. You cannot beat anyone with a heart beat outside of the Big 10. Face it, your garbage, plain and simple. Don’t blame Jim Tressel for playing conservative football. Blame Jim Tressel for not recruiting any talent. “The herd” said it best when he said “they simply get beat by better teams with better players”. You are now 0-forever against the PAC-10 and SEC.

The Picks!
GOAT faithful,
Again this week, I do not see a ball game that just "JUMPS" off the board. I do have some small play games lined up. Last night's win with GT+2/PITT PK.

Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint, when I find the "Vegas Whiff" we will be all over it, but it's just not there right now. So, without further ado....
YTD:
(4-1 ATS) (1-0 "Big Game Plays")
(0-1 Flyer)
(6-4 Teasers)
(1-0 Parlay)
*Straight Line Plays*
Miss St. +15 (BTH)

Open Mic Night
GOAT Faithful,
Finally turned it around this evening on the Teasers hitting a "Pucker" one tonight. Got several games lined up this weekend, with picks coming out tommorrow. I have been requested by "J" to breakdown the UNC/UCONN game, and I can tell you right now, I think this game gets UGLY, but which way? You'll have to wait until tommorrow to find out! Complete breakdown, anaylsis and pick will be provided. So far, Da GOAT is 1-0 on Open Mic predictions looking to keep it going!

College Football week 1 recap.
Good evening GOAT faithful! Wow, what an opening weekend for college football this season! The week began with "SMASH MOUTH" football literally, thanks to Lagarrett Blount and the Oregon Ducks, and ended with a "PUNCH IN THE GUT" for the Da GOAT when my beloved Seminoles lost at the wire! Let's recap the weekend, shall we? (In no particular order)
1. NCSU, who was HYPED all off season, about how good "Russell Wilson" was gonna be and how good they we're gonna be, mustarded about as much offense as Da GOAT did this weekend, and got handled by South Carolina.
(Da GOAT'S Thursday Night ATS pick---SC +5.5--Cashed)
2. Oregon went to Smurfville, and got punished before and after the game, which begs the question...Is Chip Kelly ready for the big spot light as a head coach? What an "Oil Rig" fire Oregon was in this one.
3. "IF THE COUCH IS ON FIRE, LET THE MF'R BURN"!!!! This is the chant that can be heard from Thursday night until probably this Saturday in Denton, TX. The North Texas "Green Machine", after going 0'fer for what feels like forever, they go to Ball St. and get a big win! "Little Tommy Jefferson" and his crew of snotty nosed fart lighter's can't wait for there game against ALABAMA...Look out everybody, we might have awoken a "Sleeping Giant", or they will be pissing one off in Tuscaloosa, AL. Either way it should be good fun! (Da GOAT still feels that the N. Texas/Bama game will be a "Texas size ass whoopin" but we'll get to that later on)
3. Is there anything Greg Powlous(sp?) can't do? OK, well there is one thing, and that's NOT turn it over when the game is on the line....He looked good in their opener vs. Minnesota, until ultimately making a "Freshman" mistake by rushing a pass in OT and leading to the Gophers escaping with a win. Watch out though, might have a "Diamond in the Rough" here...
4. THE Ohio State University of Higher Learning showed what we all believed from day one....THEY ARE A FRAUD..... and will get exposed this coming Saturday against USC. Lay the points and get me a box of popcorn, because Da GOAT'S gonna enjoy this one! If Navy can do what they did to the OSU defense, then the USC game might get ugly...SPEED KILLS..stay tuned
5. Urban Meyer and "Everyones Favorite Virgin" finally found something they couldn't do...cover a 73 point spread and get laid by drunk naked sorority chicks in the same day.
6. Matt Barkley hardly looked like it was his first game ever in college football going 15-19, for 233 yards, and a TD. 8!?!?!....8 dang RB's for USC got touches, 4 or them scoring TD's against SJSU in a 56-3 smashing at the Coliseum.
7. "TOUCHDOWN JESUS" has risen in South Bend, Indiana! The scary part is that the defense actually looked good..and.....Clausen for Heisman!
8. Sam Bradford is broken, and so is the hopes and dreams of the Oklahoma faithful. Their NC hopes are in serious trouble after getting beat by BYU in their opener. Eli Manning even called to cheer up Bradford by telling him "Don't sweat it kid, you'll get $100 million from an NFL team anyway". As a result, the "Red River Shootout" looks to be a potential BLOW OUT...
9. Check the prior posts by Da GOAT, I never bought into the hype of VT, and as a result...CASH on this one laying -6.5! The "CRIMSON TIDE" rolled on Saturday night! The games score did not accurately reflect the actual game. Bama controlled all aspects of this game. They beat up Bud Foster's defense, stealing there "Lunch Box" and "Lunch Money", in what looked like a good old fashion school yard beating. Bama's offense rolled up nearly 500 yards and made it look easy at times. The special teams was the only thing that looked suspect, but I think Saban gets that corrected in a hurry...OR ELSE
10. Greg Shiano should have gotten out when he had the chance. However, he chose to stay at Rutger's and now, unless he gets a miracle, his career will end in Piscataway. As Da GOAT said all along, the best team in the Big East is clearly Cincinnati, and it's only a matter of time until Da GOAT cashes his OVER 6.5 wins for Cincy that was placed prior to the season starting. Cincy dominated this game from start to finish and Tony Pike was money as I thought he would be. Let's see if Cincy can keep it up, and Rutger's can keep from getting too far down.
11. Ron Zook is a "Dumpster Fire".....How in the hell, with all that talent, do you get BLOWN OUT by Mizzou in your opener?!?! Hope your planning your early retirement, because I can't see you roaming the sidelines much longer if you keep this up...
12. Willam & Mary & Richmond < Virginia & DUKE....Basketball is right around the corner!
13. Gene Chezik is 1-0 at Auburn....It won't last, this guy sucks....It's only a matter of time
14. 63-7, huh Mr. Lane Kiffon? Was it fun? Did you have a good time? Do you feel better about yourself? Well, get a good look at that scoreboard because when you go to the Swamp, it gonna be your ass on the receiving end of this one....and i can't wait!
15. Wide Left, Wide right, Wide Load, Wide Eyed, WIDE ASS OPEN! The rivalry that is FSU/Miami. Instant Classic as dubbed by ESPN, and it was! When the dust settled, Christian Ponder looked like a surgeon, Jacoby Harris looked like Vince Young, Mickey Andrews looked like a "LIAR" and Jimbo Fisher looked like a druken dumbass. My beloved Noles played a great game, but in the end, a dropped pass by a true freshman on the big stage with no time on the clock was our ultimate demise. Our D-line is the worst I have ever seen, which makes the secondary looked twice as bad. If we play like this against BYU, Max Hall will carve us up like Christmas turkeys. Gonna be a long year, and Ponder may be the only reason worth the watching this year!

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a DUCK"
Last night after Oregon was humbled on the "Smurf Turf" by Boise St., a bizarre scene erupted that lead to 24 hr. coverage and a year long suspension. When the dust settled and the teams were supposedly shaking hands after the game, a Boise St. player made a big mistake, followed by an Oregon player making an even bigger one. A full time bench player who will forever be recognized more on YOUTUBE.COM, then in real life, taunted Lagarrett Blount the starting RB for the Oregon Ducks, and was greeted with one of the BEST left crosses Da GOAT has ever seen. I mean a "Hay maker" for the ages. A left cross that rivals Roy Jones, Jr. and Mike Tyson respectively. A straight up GOOD NIGHT shot! But not only did this "punch for the ages" WRECK the Boise St. players jaw, it effectively RUINED Blounts collective college life. After punching the Boise St. player, Blount proceeded to get into a verbal altercation with the drunk "tater tossers" in the BSU crowd. This in turn lead to a scuffle with a security guard, a pushing match with a coach in the tunnel and a YEAR LONG SUSPENSION.
Now the question posed to DA GOAT is: "Does the punishment fit the crime?"
Well, here's my take.
Blount made a very poor decision in hitting the jackass back-up for BSU, but the real problem was the aftermath. Had Blount just rocked the BSU player and gone quietly into the night, he would probably catch a max 3-4 games suspension and then no harm, no foul. But he took it too far and it cost him everything. I don't condone his actions, although the cross was a money shot, I do not however believe that the punishment fits the crime.
IF you have ever been in Blounts situation at that very moment, then it is hard to just say "Throw the book at him!". All of us have been in a bar or something, and our girl just left us, we got a fat girl pregnant, just lost $5 LARGE on a .5 point or whatever, and "Tough Guy" at the bar says something dumb. You first reactions is "IT'S GO TIME BIG BOY" and you launch a Brock Lesner type attack. Once you pummel that guy, then every tough guy at the bar wants some of you, and guess where you end up? Right in LaGarrett Blounts shoes and you act just the way he did, it's your natural gut reaction, and don't say it isn't because it is. Now your sitting in a jail cell or court room and the judge has to figure out whether to give you probation or a nickle in a 6x6. He is taking into account everything from that night, and even though you were justified in your reaction, he does not take into account your emotional state at the time. This is key.
Raw emotion is a tough thing to control, and Blount lost his. I think that Oregon did the "Save Face" thing. Everyone would have questioned anything less. i don't think that ruining a young man's life over an emotional mistake is the answer. I hope that LaGarrett Blount sticks with football and does something great with his life. I hope the jackass from BSU has to have massive reconstructive surgery, gurgles when talks, and has to eat out of a straw for a month...and is suspended for at least 5 games. I hope that "The Punch" is the most viewed YOUTUBE video for the next 5 years. I hope he gets clowned everyday for this, because he is nothing more then a piece of trash. What he did to me is worst then what Blount did, minus the aftermath with the fans. Of course no one else will look at him the way I do, but it's the truth. Don't blame LaGarrett Blount for acting with instinctive raw emotion, blame the BSU player for starting the whole thing. That guy is the guy I teach my son about. IF he starts it with you, you whip his ass and make sure he remembers who you are. But IF you start it(which Blount DID NOT) you deserve what you get. Blount does not.
Enjoy,
Da GOAT

I don't condone his actions, although the cross was a money shot, I do not however believe that the punishment fits the crime.
IF you have ever been in Blounts situation at that very moment, then it is hard to just say "Throw the book at him!". All of us have been in a bar or something, and our girl just left us, we got a fat girl pregnant, just lost $5 LARGE on a .5 point or whatever, and "Tough Guy" at the bar says something dumb. You first reactions is "IT'S GO TIME BIG BOY" and you launch a Brock Lesner type attack. Once you pummel that guy, then every tough guy at the bar wants some of you, and guess where you end up? Right in LaGarrett Blounts shoes and you act just the way he did, it's your natural gut reaction, and don't say it isn't because it is. Now your sitting in a jail cell or court room and the judge has to figure out whether to give you probation or a nickle in a 6x6. He is taking into account everything from that night, and even though you were justified in your reaction, he does not take into account your emotional state at the time. This is key.
Raw emotion is a tough thing to control, and Blount lost his. I think that Oregon did the "Save Face" thing. Everyone would have questioned anything less. i don't think that ruining a young man's life over an emotional mistake is the answer. I hope that LaGarrett Blount sticks with football and does something great with his life. I hope the jackass from BSU has to have massive reconstructive surgery, gurgles when talks, and has to eat out of a straw for a month...and is suspended for at least 5 games. I hope that "The Punch" is the most viewed YOUTUBE video for the next 5 years. I hope he gets clowned everyday for this, because he is nothing more then a piece of trash. What he did to me is worst then what Blount did, minus the aftermath with the fans. Of course no one else will look at him the way I do, but it's the truth. Don't blame LaGarrett Blount for acting with instinctive raw emotion, blame the BSU player for starting the whole thing. That guy is the guy I teach my son about. IF he starts it with you, you whip his ass and make sure he remembers who you are. But IF you start it(which Blount DID NOT) you deserve what you get. Blount does not.
Enjoy,
Da GOAT
