Happy New Year’s
Eve!
I hope you
all had a very Merry Christmas, Fesitvus, Hanukkah or whatever holiday you
choose to celebrate…it’s all good.
Believing in something is half the battle.
Central
Florida was treated to a rare Coach E visit this past week, and it was absolutely
glorious. Coach E’s baby boy is a 6-3
stud of an athlete who will save his parents thousands of dollars on a college
education in a few years. He’s that
good. Coach E’s daughter is not allowed
to date until she’s 40. She’s that cute. Our wives drank plenty of wine, which made Coach E and I appear infinitely more attractive...it was a great visit.
Now I’m up against a deadline on FSU-Houston, so let’s get to it.
Celebrate responsibly tonight.
PICKS!!
Chick
FilA Spicy Chicken Sandwich Peach Bowl
Houston
vs. Florida State
I predict FSU's starting QB goes down with a nasty achilles injury in the first quarter after Houston takes an early lead. YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!!! (So yeah, I missed that deadline...)
Cougars

Noles - 20

Buffalo
Wild Wings Lemon Pepper Seasoning Citrus Bowl
Florida
vs. Michigan
In what can
only be described as a lapse in judgment, I’ll attend this game knowing full
well UF’s offense will make my eyes bleed at least once before halftime. Thankfully club seats and a hospitality
passes will help ease the pain. Free
alcohol is truly a blessing from Jesus Christ, Santa Claus and Morgan
Freeman. Michigan owns Florida in the
Citrus Bowl, and I don’t see that changing tomorrow considering Treon Harris is still our starting QB.

Outback
Victoria Filet Bowl
Tennessee
vs. Northwestern
A new deadly
strain of Volsheimers is breaking out over near the strip clubs on Dale Mabry
in Tampa. Ask any infected Tennessee fan…the
Vols would absolutely murder the Gators right now, and the ONLY reason UF beat Tennessee
back in September was due to Will Grier’s dependence on cocaine, bath salts and
horse tranquilizers. Oh, and Tennessee is totally going to win this bowl game, the national title game next season, the gold medal in equestrian at the Olympics in Brazil next summer, AND the Academy Award for Best Supporting SEC Team with Unrealistic Expectations.
Northwestern - 30
Tennessee - 21
...and
finally
Capital
One Orange Bowl
#4
Oklahoma vs. #1 Clemson
Three
Clemson players were suspended before the biggest game Clemson’s played in over
35 years. Eugene Robinson is impressed (Google
him young people…night before the Super Bowl in Miami, prostitutes, good times). Clemson destroyed Oklahoma in last year’s
Orange Bowl. Oklahoma hasn’t
forgotten. Baker Mayfield hasn’t
forgotten. Bob Stoops hasn’t
forgotten. We've waited all year for Clemson to pull a Clemson. Tonight it finally happens...Clemson's starting kicker is suspended. Clemson loses by a kick.
Sooners - 35
Tigers - 34
Goodyear
Cotton Bowl
#3
Michigan State vs. #2 Alabama
Two teams, virtual
mirror images of each other. Nick Saban even
coached at Michigan State. Mike Dantonio’s
had more success at Michigan State than Nick Saban. Michigan State had the miracle play against
Michigan suggesting they’re a team of destiny.
You know what Michigan State doesn’t have? Derrick Henry, Calvin Ridley and the nastiest
defense I’ve seen since Florida’s 2008 national championship team. Michigan State is good, Alabama is better.
