Locks of the Week: Week 13

I’m pretty excited because I’m headed down to Blacksburg tomorrow morning.  The tickets came through (got great seats from an alum through eBay) and my son and I will be getting there early for tailgating with friends, the Walk, and game.  However, it is supposed to be cold, but a good cold football game every [...]


Immediate Impressions: Miami Game, and Locks of the Week

Every year there is one loss that really gets under my skin.  For 2008, its going to be last night’s loss to Miami.  That game had lots of annoying aspects to it, some of which were just bad breaks, others that were just failures on the part of the Hokies to get things done.  That’s [...]


Locks of the Week: Week 11

I’m simple not getting it done this year.  No karma.  Good thing this is for “Entertainment Purposes Only”.  Regardless, it does feel like we are in that November period where things go crazy in college football.  Alabama plays LSU, Penn State plays Iowa, and Texas Tech plays Oklahoma State.  Those are all tough match ups, [...]


Hokies are Off, Here are the Locks of the Week

Hokie fans catch their breath this weekend and await a return to Lane Stadium against the Terps.  Good chance to catch some games on Saturday while enjoying your trick or treat candy (or your kids).  Also, tune out the Obama / McCain bedlam one last time before election day.
While most of the nation will be [...]


Locks of the Week: Week 8

Well the headline game this weekend is in the Big Ten.  Penn State faces probably their biggest obstacle on a path towards an undefeated season and national championship appearance when they face Ohio State.  Though I have to admit I’m somewhat looking forward to the 8 pm EST game on Sunday night so I can watch [...]


Locks of the Weeks and Boston College Game Comments

Well it seems like a month since I sat and watched a Virginia Tech football game live on TV.  When you consider the off week, the no-TV Western Kentucky game, and the road trip to Nebraska, its pretty much been a month.  I’ve got the TV room all ready for Saturday night’s big clash, and [...]


Locks of the Week

If you are in a routine of watching Hokie football on Saturday, the bad news is there is no game this weekend.  The good news is there are a ton of other great games. 
As far as my Locks of the Week, I’m still in bad need of a turnaround week.  Time to double down.

Locks of the Week

Since I start sharing my picks with the world, my friends are kicking my rear.  I was 2 for 5 last week, though frankly the whole group went 25% combined in a wild week.

Locks of the Week and Nebraska Here We Come!

Well I’m on my way to Nebraska, currently in Chicago’s O’Hare Airport waiting on a connecting flight.  Lots of Hokies on their way to Lincoln for this weekend’s tilt.  Should be an fun weekend and a great game.  Like most, I’m pretty clueless as to what to expect from these two teams.  Both have strengths [...]


“Locks of the Week”

This is for fun only, but my buddies and I each pick games each week that we like against the USA Today spreads.  We track our records over the season.  I’ve won the last few years.  So far this year, I’m middle of the pack.  Thought I’d start sharing my picks with the world.
