"Cut the Check" - College Football Games of the Week


A crazy story comes out of Portland where an Oregon alumnus asked for a refund of his trip expenses to see the Ducks play Boise State in Idaho because he was upset with the team's performance. Thus the head football coach sent him an email back asking for his address and sure enough, he sent buddy a check for $439. The guy was so impressed, he sent the check back vowing that he would never call for the guy to be fired even if he never won another game at Oregon. Click here to read full story.

Now, is that a class act on the coach's part and or a selfish/sore looser act on the Oregon alum's part? In my opinion...both. It's definitely a class act on the coach's part because he didn't have to do that. The sore loser alum just has to suck up the loss just like any other die hard fan has to do when it comes to their favorite team. And who dares to ask a coach for their money back, unless you are a Panther's fan - WTH!



Last Week 5-0

Washington came through versus USC, who like Florida is very overrated. Watch out for Miami and Texas is the real deal.

Overall: 12-3

Games of the Week:

No. 22 North Carolina at Georgia Tech
UNC’s WR’s are growing up a little (shout out to Greg). Meanwhile the defense is a beast and Draughn is on pace for 1,000 yards, when was the last time that happen at UNC?
Stop the option and we roll…Heels 27-20


No. 6 California at Oregon
I know Oregon is still upset over that punch, but they better get over it soon. I was thinking this could be a huge upset but Cal puts up points…lots of points. Dude might want to ask for his money back again...Cal 42-28

No. 9 Miami (FL) at No. 11 Virginia Tech
Jacory Harris for Heisman (yeah I said it), if not this year, definitely next year. VaTech’s offense is not that good…UM 17-10

No. 1 Florida at Kentucky
Down goes Frazier…The Gators will not be able to escape UK like they did the Vols last week. Being on the road doesn’t help…. Cats 24-21

HBCU game of the week
North Carolina Central at Duke
Well, Duke is not a HBCU, but their campus will feel like one on Saturday night when NCCU travels a few miles up the road to play them. I know, I’m committing a sin with this pick but the numbers don’t lie… PUKE 31-10

  1. I agree with all except the Kentucky pick...

    HELL NAH!

    Have you seen Tebow play? He alone will not let Florida lose. Then again, you did get 100% right last week. Still...
