Podcast: Episode 26 - Oct 31st, 2016

Gary and Chris on Halloween discuss how Tennessee's program has suddenly turned into a dumpster fire, LSU safety claims they will "dominate" Alabama, which undefeated team will go down first, how Dak Prescott has won over the Cowboys locker room, what the NFL should do to avoid having ties in the future, the Memphis Grizzlies and their hot start from 3-pt range, and the Cubs winning Game 5 and how the Indians shouldn't count their chickens before they hatch.

The Monday Rewind: Oct 31, 2016

Things are definitely rolling right now.  If you've kept up with us, things were rough early on, but we've gotten it turned around in college football.  Both of us have been pretty weak in NFL gambling picks, but we're both well over 50% in CFB bets.

The end of the year is always a little crazy.  The lines get much more difficult to figure out, because every team pretty much has an identity, and Vegas knows what they are by this point.  So there are not as many lines that just look completely off.

Here's what we did this weekend...

WCE College Football Top 10 #7

With a bunch of unbeatens going down yesterday, it has made the top 10, and, really, the rest of the playoff race through November, seem a little anticlimactic.

Which is exactly when things start to get a little screwy.

The 4 unbeaten power 5 teams look to be on a collision course for the playoff, but you know how these things go.  When you least expect it, some upset comes out of nowhere and creates absolute chaos (i.e. 2011 Oklahoma St loss at Iowa St, 2015 Ohio St loss to Mich St, 2013 Alabama loss at Auburn on the Kick Six, etc).  Something is going to go haywire, because there's no way we end up with 5 unbeaten teams at the end of the year.

The NFL has 99 problems...

- Chris Giannini

This week starts the midway point of the NFL season, and I have to admit this has been the worst start to any season I can ever remember.  The games are boring, the teams aren’t interesting at all, and the league office continues to fumble every situation put in front of them. 

The Friday Five: 10/28/16 Texas A&M boob selfies, Memphis football video game fights, etc

Fridays are always filled with news, but I'm kinda gathering a "best-of" from the week to put together the Friday Five this week.

Tons going on today with me - I'm at work currently, but right outside of my office, they're setting up for the Bluff City Bash, which is the University of Memphis homecoming concert.  This year features T.I. and K Camp (no idea who that is).  Last year's was Ludacris and B.O.B.  Pretty awesome setup that the school does for students.

Campus has been bananas all week, prepping everybody for the Memphis / Tulsa game on Saturday night.  It's a lot different from years past.  Justin Fuente really turned around this football program, and it just proves that when you've got a team that's winning, everything else around the university picks up.  Memphis enrollment is up substantially, and people are more involved around campus.  It's pretty insane to see the difference up close.

On to the Friday Five.
