Mid-Week Schmorgesborg

Slumping on Hump Day? Here's something to occupy your attention span for the next few minutes.

NCAA Predictions vs. Actual Results

First, let's see how my NCAA predictions stacked up with the actual first two games Texas Tech has played.

Week 1
Prediction: Northwestern State - 3, Texas Tech - 42
Actual:       Northwestern State - 6, Texas Tech - 44

Only a 5 point difference? Not too bad, NCAA.

Week 2
Prediction: Texas Tech - 62, Texas State - 14
Actual:       Texas Tech - 58, Texas State - 10

I consider any point difference under 10 is pretty darn good for a prediction.


Ohhhh, Billy

The situation between Billy Gillispie and Texas Tech can be summed up with a simple picture:

You're hot, then you're cold...

This is essentially the song I sing in my head anytime I look at how the Braves are doing. For some reason, the Braves offense and pitching can never get in sync. In fact, the Braves' bats have been all but silent these past 10 games, scoring more than 3 runs in a game only 3 times, yet the team still won 7 out of those 10 games. This has been due in large part to a rested dominant bullpen and starting pitching that has been able to go more than 5 innings per game. The one game wildcard playoff system freaks me out, but my worry has subsided slightly with the coming out party of this former shortstop/middle reliever/starter/Tommy John recipient/middle reliever, now stud ace.

Finally, the team you all care about..

The Medulla Amendola's ( yes, my fantasy football team) are 1-0 on the season with a 104-75 drubbing of the Devin Calhoun's. If you wonder about my success, all you have to do is look at the hairstyle of choice for most of my players. Then you will know.

That's all I've got for this week. Until next time, stay classy.
