College Football Coaches, Job Openings & Deion: Cavalcade of Whimsy

College football coaches and just how silly this all is, major job openings, and what to do with NIL money in this week’s Cavalcade of Whimsy

This week’s reason I should be next to McAfee making picks on the GameDay football pregame thingy …

Unlike all those who create new and exciting ways to pronounce Tagovailoa – Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt came up with 14 different variations during the Maryland-Michigan game – and Uiagalelei, I can get it closer to the pin than most.

The sure-thing, 100%, once-in-a-generation, rock-solid lock, sell the house, sell the kids, no doubt about it picks of the century for this week

PICK SO FAR: 0-0 SU, 0-0 ATS

Set the dial to serious.

We’ve all had a few laughs – ahhhh yes, the line about Saban not being important … young people, good times, insurance – and we all enjoyed each other’s company, but I know what you’re here for.

Fortunately, these picks are all correct.

– Arkansas +7.5 over Mississippi State
– Wisconsin -10 over Northwestern
– Washington -13.5 over Arizona State
– UTSA -6.5 over WKU
– James Madison -10 over Arkansas State
– Texas A&M +24 over Alabama (and my God have mercy on my soul)
– Hawaii at San Diego State under on 49.5

C.O.W. shameless gimmick item …

The weekly five Overrated/Underrated aspects of the world

5) Overrated: Will Levis as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft

Underrated: Billy Blue Jeans – I’m determined to make that a thing

4) Overrated: Whining about Pat McAfee

Underrated: Not watching Pat McAfee if you don’t want to

3) Overrated: Whining about showing a potentially cool sports moment when Aaron Judge comes to bat

Underrated: Going batspit crazy over a split screen in 2022

2) Overrated: Chad Powers

Underrated: Eli Manning being the starting quarterback at Penn State – and any other team in college football – with a little time to get into playing shape

1) Overrated: ANY complaints whatsoever about 87-year-old Lee Corso still doing his bit, because we’re all going to deeply miss it when he chooses to stop

Underrated: Feel better, Coach

Sorry if this column sucked, I wasn’t my fault …

It got off to a horrible start, was down big, and then came roaring back to be interesting. And then Jalen Milroe and Jahmyr Gibbs started running and it all fell hopelessly apart.
