The 2011 Season

Well, the rollercoaster of the 2011 season ended abruptly in a game where Alabama had 5 field goals and LSU had 5 first downs. [wipes tear]

As for the model’s predictions:

+ Bowl Week Winners --
Utah (+1.5) – Georgia Tech
Nevada (+7.5) – Southern Miss
Cincinnati (+2) - Vanderbilt

+ Bowl Week Losers --
Ohio State (+3) – Florida [Much thanks to Ohio State’s special teams, which gave up 2 TDs in their 24-17 loss]

Last week: 3-1
Season: 83-48-4 (63.4%)

Betting on every game against the spread in a pool with one of my friends, Hugh, we went 17-18.

Speaking of Hugh, we had a conversation today about Les Miles.

Les was asked a question about defensive tackle Michael Brockers’ tweet, which updated his injury status before the SEC Championship Game.
Somehow, it makes perfect sense and I’m still wondering if Les was mocking the question or if he’s explaining what exactly happened. Either way, this in one of the most amazing/confusing/Les Mile-esque quotes of all-time, and that’s saying A LOT.

Other than that, we now wait nine months. See you in Dallas over Labor Day Weekend. Michigan. Alabama. Cowboys Stadium.

It's been a pleasure, folks. A Real Good Time... [Dr. Pepper ref]
