“Insanity is doing the same thing [over and over] again and expecting a different result." - Einstein, Football Savant Not a ton of time this week for blogging, so this will be quick. Expect the quality, however, to be on par with past efforts. Big Game: Notre Dame/MSU Other Big Game: Georgia/Alabama Not Really a Big Game, but We're Gonna Watch: Washington/UCLA Picks: Sed: ND – 34, Alabama – 55, UCLA – 41, QB – ND Sed's Dog: ND – 45, Georgia – 45, Washington ...

HLS Expert Picks Week 3 Results: The “I’m Too Busy To Do This Properly” Edition
Sorta swamped for time this week. So here's a table of the scoring for last week's games. No sorting based on winners. I don't have time for such complexity. Looks like Bad Kermit is in the lead, still, but The Bear has made a huge comeback after an awful start to the season as well. How about sharing some of that karma with the boys in Gold and Blue, eh Bear? Expert Notre Dame - 0 Michigan - 38 SoCal - 49 Nebraska -31 BC - 24 GaTech - 10 QB ...
HLS Expert Picks Week 3: Helmety Goodness
I, um, "acquired" some images of every helmet in NCAA football, so I decided to go the extra-mile and make the HLS Expert Picks more visual for our illiterate readers out there... The Games: Notre Dame v. Michigan: "Something's gotta give," seems to be the theme for this one. My bet is on the opposable force. Nebraska v. Southern Cal: Last year Nebraska, "played them close," when they decided to "play not to lose." I have a feeling that's not going to fly this time. Boston ...
HLS Expert Picks Week 2 Results: Dead Last
I'm dead last in the HLS Expert Picks, ND is, I believe, dead last in rushing offense, and Michigan (sucks!) is dead last in not sucking. And the world goes round and round... The Games We Picked: Notre Dame/Penn State: Bad Kermit and The Bear sold their souls, choosing Penn State for the big rewards. Hope they enjoy all those points all by themselves. Notre Dame 10, Penn State 31 Texas/TCU: I really thought TCU would not just make a game of it, but outright win against a Texas ...
HLS Expert Picks Week 2: Sweep The Leg!
I'm losing to a dog! Don't think I wont resort to whatever it takes to catch up! Cautionary tales be damned! [youtube]uFlQNtL8F9s[/youtube] This Week's Games: The Big Game: Notre Dame vs. Penn State - Penn State looked phenomenal against FIU - a team so bad that they're the worst of the worst (ignore ND's place on that list). Are they really that good? Meanwhile ND looked terrible against a very good Georgia Tech. Are they really that bad? Look for the Irish to collide with Penn ...
HLS Expert Picks Week 1 Results: Start With a Dud!
Also a dud. Well, we all pretty much sucked at making picks this week. Our previous champion is currently in the penultimate position. Meanwhile, HLS Expert Picks newcomer, The Bear had a debut about as solid as the new ND offensive line. And most of us are losing to a dog. The results of the games: ND/Georgia Tech: The entire panel picked Notre Dame to win this one, and it looks like we expected a close game. We were wrong on all fronts. In fact, we'd all have done just as well if ...

Her Loyal Sons Experts’ Picks – County Fair
In high school, our coaches had this little conditioning drill they called "County Fair." Essentially it was made up of a number of idiotic and embarrassing maneuvers designed to make one puke or die of asthmatic attack - whichever came first. The lucky ones died. We ran it until the coaches were satisfied. Players puking and/or dying:My Head Coach::Tiny Powdered Donuts:Rosie O'Donnell. Ostensibly, "County Fair" was meant to get the players into shape for the remainder of 2 weeks of ...
Correction.
Apparently my wife turned on the microwave while I was doing last night's HLS Experts' Picks Results calculations and I passed out, forgot who I was, and became incapable of solving basic math. ChisND is, in fact, NOT in the lead for the much coveted bowling HLS Experts' Picks Trophy. Sed is still in the lead, although that lead is pretty darn narrow now. The corrections have been made. I've been slapped. I've also been placed on probation. Not because of this mistake, but some other ...
