In one of the strangest events of this football season, Urban Meyer quits, unquits, kind of halfway quits in a 24 hour period. Along the way he had (choose your own number of) heart attacks that he just ignores, is overstressed, loves his family (but not enough to fully commit to them) and grabs back [...]
THE PICKS – WEEK III : HOPE IS IN THE AIR
Sunday 12/27
Kentucky vs. Clemson (Music City Bowl, Nashville)
Creek: Clemson’s coach, Dabo Swinney, has the distinction of being the only former Bama reserve QB to not have a fanbase. In fact, he may be the only one that Bama fans never heard of. Kentucky, however, is where Coach Bryant won his first national championship. This is [...]
PICK ‘EM AND EAT ‘EM
Your nearly intrepid team of prognosticators will now attempt to make sense of college football’s second season. The regular season champ, Musket, will be picking from his ashram high in the mountains of West Virginia, surrounded by his team of analysts, data banks, a team of former coaches breaking down film that would rival Nick [...]
PLAYER OF THE YEAR
After a few weeks of narrowing the field of candidates down to a Final Four (we had two nominating votes to end in a tie), we finally have a winner of the first ever, but someday to be coveted, POTY AWARD.

As much as I have joked about it, even been downright sadistic about it, over the last few years, there is a small empty spot in my gut now. I can’t say how long it will last, probably until the next genuine crazy man has been around college football for a few years. Coach Bowden [...]
Creek vs. Musket
Musket (16-4, 5-0 Last Week): The Musket barrel was smoking hot after this past weekend’s games with all five targets being set-up and knocked down in succession. Apparently Richt regained contact after heavy soul searching with the AWOL guardian angel of victory that eluded him a good portion of the season. The Bulldogs decided to [...]
THE POTY FINALISTS
We have discovered that getting ten, presumably intelligent people with two bendable thumbs and all, to vote for three names and send those names to the proper place is not as easy as you might expect. I’ve worked elections in retirement homes in Florida that went easier. Still, we aren’t going to abandon it to [...]
SEC WEST – WEEK XIV – THE SEMI-FINALS
Well, Nick Saban let me down, I didn’t go with my instincts on Houston the Nutt and try as he might, Lester couldn’t take us down. Dan Mullen showed us, as he has all year, that when the moon is aligned just right and if he crosses his eyes in a certain way, the [...]
