The biggest game of the weekend (in the pool) turned into a back-and-forth-who-can-outdumb-the-other showdown between two of the worst game coaches in college football. It was especially interesting for those of us who were in Athens this year and got to see first-hand, the rabid home fan base in a frothed-up frenzy, knowing the single-file lines out of Sanford were a lot less vociferous than they were post-Irish. It was John McKay’s first double loss of the year, a -6 loss coupled with the Fighting Solich’s home loss to the Saluskis of Northern Illinois. He scores a pool-low 22 for the week.
Meathead and Walter were also in the 20’s this week. Toledo (26 point faves) and Vandy (15) lost at home to Bowling Green and UNLV for Walter. Meathead loss 3 games (Wake F, E Mich, Miss St) but got bailed out by a shoutout double win from powerhouse Indiana over Rutgers, who’s up next for PJ in the gauntlet that is B1G 10 Football.
Memphis lost it’s first game of the year dealing Silent Bob his only loss on the week. Alabama is covering spreads this year which is bad news for the rest of the pool. The Tide tallies 18 and S Bob wins the week with 44 points. (Point of clarification: SB is, in no way, a reference to Thing. Our leader has been quiet this year and as Wiki says….True to his name, Silent Bob rarely speaks, but when he does, he often has something eloquent or logical to say, delivering thought-provoking monologues to the other characters only in appropriate situations)
Also 5-1, Gob and PJ. Tulsa loses to Navy by 28 at home for Gob and Virginia loses to the Miami Criminals for PJ in the awful ACC Coastal. Right now it’d be Duke vs. Clemson in the title game.
Bumble and Mike Lynn were 4-2. Army has returned to form this year losing to W Kentucky, and BYU is a train wreck, losing to USF for Bumble. Likewise, Maryland and Iowa continue to chalk up losses for M Lynn on a weekly basis.
It’s anybody’s game after 7 weeks. Well, maybe not Walter. And certainly not Bumble. But, other than that…
Walter, Meathead, PJ, and Silent Bob are beating their guys. The Sisters lead the Row by a mere 7 points.
7 points after 7 weeks? It’s a College Football Pool Miracle!
