F it. We’re bring this “Very Special, Man Up Edition” of You’re So Predictable because we just can’t stand the cloud of pathetic from which so many Irish fans seem to be taking hits. You sissies! The Irish are going to win this damn game or my name isn’t domer.mq!
Who’s with me?
The Irish Will Win on Saturday
Loading …Last week, y’all guessed that Ty Willingham would mismanage his way to 2 Delay of Game penalties against the Irish. And you were wrong! I guess Ty is a better coach than you gave him credit for, eh?
This week, Notre Dame faces the best running back on the 2008 Schedule: LeSean McCoy. A man so talented, he can make Dave Wannstedt appear non-stupid on occasion (if and only if Dave remembers to just give LeSean the damn ball). A talent so great he gets 4, count ‘em, FOUR capital letters on his roster listing. A football player so awesome that he could well send this Irish defense, ranked in the top (ha!) 90 of rushing defense this week, plummeting to the 100s by Sunday.
So with that in mind, we ask…
How many yards will Pitt RB LeSean McCoy gain against the Irish?
Loading …
Also pathetic: Last week Washington started the first drive of the game with a delay of game penalty. It was mind blowing. It was stunning. And if you were a Notre Dame fan, you were just surprised they didn’t also get hit with a penalty for too many men on the field because you know all too well that delay of game penalties to start drives are just part of the game when your coach is Ty Willingham. This is something you know. This is something I know. This is something that most of the college football world does not know.
So, knowing what you know, we ask…
How Many Delay of Game Penalties Will Washington Suffer on Saturday?
Loading …Last weekend, we saw some really intriguing match-ups. Texas v. Okalhoma lived up to the billing. UNC v. Notre Dame, while terribly disappointing, was quite entertaining. LSU v. Florida… okay, not so much. But hey, what a barn-burner Michigan (sucks!) v. Toledo proved to be!
This week, we’ve got some match-ups that are so uninteresting that we actually have to look at the Vegas point spreads to find some intrigue.
Last week, some of you did pretty well, guessing that Vandy is a great pretender. This week, we ask…
Which Team Will Disappoint Vegas This Weekend?
Loading …Last week, you came as close to being right as circumstances would allow, as Kentucky certainly put a bit of a scare into Alabama.
If we learned one thing in the last week of College Football, it’s that South Florida was not a top-10 team. We can probably take it further and say that a lot of “top teams” probably aren’t top teams, and probably will get exposed as the mediocre teams they are by losing to other mediocre teams (side note: it sure helps the less highly rated, mediocre team if that team has LeSean McCoy. (side-side note: Imagine if that kid were playing for Southern Cal)). So taking that into consideration…
Which Pretender Falls Apart This Week?
Loading …And since we’re talking pretenders…
Man, Oldie really needs to use that song in a highlight video. Hey, where the hell is Oldie?
Last week we saw Southern Cal lose to Oregon State. That schadenfreude was good eats, and we feasted upon it like a ravenous animal, not knowing that it was just the first course in a multi-course meal that included Florida losing to Mississippi State thanks to a blocked PAT.
Last week, we also saw you, the voters, completely whiff in picking Washington over Michigan (sucks!) as the team most likely to use the Bye Week (and, apparently, halftime) to rebound and win.
So we’ll see if y’all can rebound this week when we ask…
Which Team Gets To Be The Heart-Breaker This Week?
Loading …There were some really crushing losses last weekend: Navy lost to Duke. Ohio State showed why nobody really thought their game against SoCal was that week’s game of the century. And then several programs lost in the sort of fashion that really eats at you until you have a chance to get over it by winning the next week. With that in mind…
Which Team Will Bounce Back After A Close Loss Last Week?
Loading …Last week y’all did pretty well, overwhelmingly taking the layup and picking Syracuse as the team least likely to suffer a game-changing over-exuberance penalty. Syracuse had only 1 penalty for 15 yards in their blow-out loss to Penn State, and it was for kick reception interference.
It’s still going to be a few weeks until we know how y’all did in last week’s poll, but we’ll move on.
Other than the question, “is there any possible way tOSU can beat Southern Cal?” there has been no debate raging ragier among college football fans this week than whether or not Washington should have been penalized with an excessive celebration call last weekend. With that in mind, we give you this week’s poll…
Which team will definitely NOT suffer a game-changing personal foul penalty for excessive celebration this weekend?
Loading …I wasn’t sure I should use this one, as it’s only our 2nd entry in this feature, and already I’m sort of stretching the parameters, but given the story lines of the last week, I feel it’s too hard to pass up, so…
Which Hotseat Coach Will Redeem Himself, Going 3-0 in the next 3 games?
Loading …By the way, in our last Your So Predictable, y’all did pretty well, with about 44% of you calling for either the ECU over VaTech or BGSU over Pitt upsets. 25% of you have little imagination or aren’t paying much attention to who is coaching at Pitt.
For 2008, we’ve got a new feature: “You’re So Predictable,” where we ask you to predict some future outcome for the coming week of college football. Let’s go, HLS group-think, just how smart are you?
Which upset is most likely to occur in Week 1 of this season?
