“I can’t believe you stupid m’f%#@ers are actually letting Alabama fall to me at number 4.” – Steven Edward McCullough.
Longing for the days of yore, we then heard about past Pool Champions led by the once-unbeatable Crimson Tide. That’s the danger of looking at things in the rear-view mirror. You can’t see what’s coming ahead.
Like:
The SEC starting 3-6 vs. Power 5 opponents.
The PAC 12 starting 6-3 vs. the Power 5.
Losing by double-digits at home to Texas, Alabama is now 4-3 in its past 7 Power 5 games.
A big double loss for our week 1 leader. He falls from 1st to 4th.
You wanted the past? – you got the past. Welcome E.B Beaumont.
The first coach of the Tide, he lasted one year.
The University of Alabama’s yearbook, the Corolla, said of Beaumont: “We were unfortunate in securing a coach. After keeping him for a short time, we found that his knowledge of the game was very limited. We therefore got rid of him.”
Moving to the top spot is Artie Fufkin. Road wins by Utah and Notre Dame and a 14 point double win by the Beavers (GO PAC 12) net 50 points for the weekly win.
Bruce Dickinson hangs on to 2nd place with double overtime wins by North Carolina and Fresno State.
Ralph Malph is tied for 2nd – UCLA gets an 18 point double win. His Houston Cougars lose to Rice denying him the top spot after 2 weeks.
Reggie remains unbeaten this year but the odds have been his nemesis. 0-6 vs the spread this week, 2-8 for the season. The Dawgs win by 42 – as a 42.5 fave. That’s his story this year. Keep swinging Reggie, they’ll find a gap soon.
Pitt and FAU take home losses breaking Bill Ray’s heart this week. His Trojans continue to rack up points in his double games.
Jimmy C tied Artie for the top weekly score with 50 points with the all FCS opponent parlay. Navy pitches a shutout is his double game. Army, TCU, and Toledo and get defensive points as well.
Doorman scores 48 points. Duke (2x) and Memphis get defensive points. He’s tied for 7th with Jimmy C.
