1) Never one to get our content in on time (damn these real-world jobs), the theme for BTSG last week was exactly what Simmons wrote on ESPN.com. This has led us to three possible conclusions: We are either brilliant writers, there isn't a lot of different stuff to write about, or none of us (including the big timers) are that original to begin with. Ah well. So, in our efforts to not plagiarize, BTSG took a week off and will pick back up later this week.
2) Never, EVER, trust the Big Ten in college football. Ohio State will be good and the rest of the league will tease you more than a Lindsay Lohan sobriety night out.
Did we learn anything from football this past week? I think so...
- Alabama has the best running back in the country, only we don't know which one of them it is
- Boise State is going to do everything they can to beat the living crap out of teams so nobody forgets they exist
- Michigan State will give you a heart attack with their play calling. (I know, I know, too soon, but it's actually the truth, right?)
- Mascot fights are funny, even when they cross over the line and become inappropriate.
- Favorite stat of the weekend... Oregon has scored more points in their first three games (189) than minutes played (180)
- Brett Favre is old and tired but has plenty of time to wake up from his nap
- The Colts and Jets are FINE
- Randy Moss would make the Pro Bowl even if he lost the use of his left arm in a freak ninja sword fighting accident
- Having lost both of my starting RBs (Ryan Grant and Reggie Bush) in back-to-back weeks, be very afraid New England and Indy. All I have left on my sorry team is Wes Welker and Peyton Manning. Both will be donezo by week 5.
How We Fared...
Week 3 College: 3-1 picking winners (thank you, Iowa) ; 1-3 against the spread (including the guarantee on the Indiana cover); Yikes, this is why we don't support gambling.
Season: 14-4 on winners; 9-8 versus Vegas
BTSG: On hiatus (Simmons wins Week 2 by default)
Look at this weekend's college football lineup if you didn't already have plans. You will have them after you do.
