GG Week 12 Results

 Week 12


Clemson road-trips to Pittsburgh and puts them away with this little gem late in the fourth quarter https://youtu.be/KUPC3rA3tgc Clemson 24 - Pitt 20. No one picked Pitt and they came within a broken tackle of pulling the upset. That's what makes Betting The Ranch ... well, Betting The Ranch.

South Carolina struggles with an amped-up Missouri squad but finally salts away the W, at home, 34 - 30. 

Tennessee journeys to Athens and gets planted by Georgia, 31 - 17. Carson Beck, have a day.

BRFL Week 11 Results


 Week 11.

K Bron. Memphis shits on Rice, 27 - 20. This was a home game. I don't consider this an impressive win. +15 the total.

Big Dom. Had the BYE. Mysteriously, the Mustangs drop one in the AP. Descend to +34 on the season. 

BreauxFreaux. Boise State drops Nevada in Boise, Idaho, 28 - 21. 1 for the win but, again, the AP can't resist fucking with you and drops you one in the poll. It's as if the weekend didn't happen. Zero. Still, +37, an impressive total. Keep the lead.


DPo. The Flames of Christ manage to handle Middle Tennessee, 37 -17. 1 for the win. Looking like a great pick that wasn't. Po with +13.

Ronde'. Takes the L from Clemson. 24 - 14 in favor of the Fightin' Dabos, and V Tech kind of sucks. Zero weekend. +12 on the year. 

$$uke. Bye week for the not-that-good Louisville Cardinals. But wait. There's more. AP showers love on the lads from Louisville leaving $$uke with +25 after the no drop and the +3 AP bump. Thanks much.


DogTheBountyHunter. Kansas Jayhawks cock-whip Iowa State, 45 - 36, at Arrowhead Stadium. DTBH was at this game in person. Oh. The rapture. +1 for the win, and now Dawg has minus 2.

Lola O. The dream dies in Baton Rouge. Alabama comes to town and kicks LSU's ass 42 - 13. No answer for Jalen Milroe. A vicious spanking by the AP (minus 7) and Lola plummets to +6 on the season. Gosh. For a time it was going so well.

Psycho. The Vols give Mississippi State a workmanlike thrashing, 33 - 14, in Knoxville. 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop, 1 for the AP move up. +3 week makes it +25 on the season.


SockPuppet. Georgia Tech bests Miami, 28 -23. Road trip gone wrong. The AP is merciless. Minus 8. Sock drops to +25 total. Tragedy can strike at any time.

ChibaChews. Came within a whisker of turning a dismal season into something ... not so dismal. Alas. No. BYU drops Utah, 22 - 21 in Provo. Another zero weekend. Total remains minus 11.

Q. Come on. Notre Dame curb-stomps FSU 52 - 3, in South Bend. The pain is horrible. I guess. Minus 22.

Timmy!. Penn State hosts Washington U and wipes the fucking floor with them, 35 - 8. Remember when Washington was good? Me neither. 1 for the win. 1 for the no drop. +2 from the AP. +19 the season total, which is respectable. Not great. 


McLovin. Ohio State obliterates the hapless Boilermakers in The Shoe, 45 - 0. 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop, 1 for the move up. +6 on the season for Lovin. The Buckeyes may be figuring shit out.

GG Week 11 Results

Week 11


Ole Miss hands it to Georgia in Oxford, 28 - 10 in the rain. Dawgs have no answer for the Ole Miss defense and Jaxson Dart is just, well, a murderer. Joey Freshwater with the signature win.

Colorado pulls away from Texas Tech in Lubock. The Buffs are for real, like it or not. 41 - 27 the final.

Jalen Milroe and the Tide destroy LSU in Death Valley, at night, in the pouring rain. Wild stallions must run free. 42 - 13 the epic beat-down and the lone TD for LSU came in garbage time. The dream dies in Baton Rouge for Lola O. 

KBron. 1 to reach 19. Horrible weekend as Billy Napier gets an apparent new lease on life.
Big Dom scores 2 out of three. Reaches 21.
BreauxFreaux grabs 2, gets up to 27.
DPo. Only 1. 25.
Ronde'. Only 1. 11. Kind of a disastrous performance this year.
$$uke. SWEEP! 5 to go to 38.
Dawg. 2 but not 3. 23 total.
Lola O. Only get one. 22 her total. GG suddenly has meaning in her life.

Psycho. 2 out of three takes you to 22.
ChibaChews. SWEEP! Say it loud and proud. Move on up to 27.
Q. Grabs 2. A good week. Total is 10.

BRFL Week 10 Results



 Week 10.

KBron. Takes it in the shorts from the RoadRunners. UTSA 44 over Memphis 36 in ol' San Antone. Zero on the weekend and KMan sits at +14 heading into week 11.

BigDom. SMU kicks the living shit out of Pittsburgh in Dallas, 48 - 25. BigDom upgrades to a Cadillac, 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop, +7 AP love, +9burger on the weekend and now, unbelievably, BD has +35.

BreauxFreaux. Boise State dismantles SanDiegoStateU, 56 - 24 in Boise. Big weekend for our lil' Idaho potatah, 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop, +3 move up from the AP, +37 total and Fro is the leader in the clubhouse.

DPo. The Posse of God drops another one, this time at home to Jacksonville State, 21 - 31. The wailing and gnashing of teeth. The rending of garments. The wheels are coming off for the Flames. Zero weekend. +12 for Po.

Ronde'. VTech gets dumped by Syracuse in the Dome. 31 - 38 The Orange in OT. Zero weekend. +12. Just curious; is this your worst pick ever, Ronde'?

$$uke. Louisville rolls into Death Valley and gives the Fighting Dabos a spanking, 33 - 21. BONUS: They did it on television in prime time on a Saturday night so Dumbo couldn't hide his many shortcomings. 1 for the win. And then ... DIDDLE!DIDDLE!DIDDLE! +5 to get ranked in the AP at #25. 6 point weekend. $$uke with +21.
Thank you, Jesus, thank you, Lord. 


DogTheBountyHunter. BYE week keeps it real for the Jayhawks. Zero weekend. Minus 3 on the season.

Lola. LSU with the BYE. Titanic clash coming up with Alabama. It's makey breaky time. 1 for the no drop and then gifted +2 on the AP move up, strong bye week, +3. +13 for Lola O.

Psycho. Tennessee skonks Kentucky 28 - 18 in Knoxville. 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop, +2 weekend. Psycho with +22.

SockPuppet. Miami drills Duke 53 - 21 and Sock picks up 3 on the weekend; 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop and 1 for the move up. +33 the total.

ChibaChews with the BYE. Utah trying to heal. Zero weekend. Minus eleven. Not great.

Q. FSU at home. Another 'L', this time to North Carolina (not a very good team) and the Q stays at minus 22.

Timmy! PSU 13, Ohio State 20. Needed a score and stop there at the end. Didn't get 'em. James Franklin perennial hot-seat. The AP is not kind. Minus 3 for the loss, Timmy! Total down to +15.



McLovin. Ohio State 20, Penn State 13. This was the season for McLovin. Comes away from Happy Valley smiling. 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop, 1 for the move up. +3 total for Lovin.

And now we enter the separation part of the season.

GG Week 10 Results


Week 10.
 

Ohio State 20, Penn State 13 in Beaver Stadium. Worth watching the game just for that drone shot of the Nittany Lion statue perched above the capacity crowd. Amazing that they manage to lose games in that place. 


Louisville 33, Clemson 21. In 'Death Valley'. In prime time, on Saturday Night. Dabo down.


The Ponies pound Pitt, 48 - 10 in Dallas. One big weekend for BigDom.

KBron. Gets one for SMU. 18 total.
BigDom. 2 to go to 19.
BreauxFreaux. Gets 2. Has 25.
DPo. 1. Knew to pick the Ponies. 24.
Ronde'. Nails 1. Has reached ten.
$$uke. Clemson upset blows the sweep. I wasn't the only one. 2 to go to 33.
Dawg. 2 to get to 21.
Lola O. Shocking week where she rolls the dreaded gutter ball. Zero. Stay at 21.
SockPuppet. 2 to climb to 23.
Psycho. Only 1 to get to 20.
Chiba. Two. Clocks in at 22.
Q. Oh, GOD. Another gutterball. Zero weekend. You only have 8. That's like last place.
Timmy! 2 to go to 23. So close to a sweep but ... Penn State.
McLovin. 2 to go to 17. Dude, Pitt?

BRFL Week 9 Results


 Week 9.

KBron. Memphis slips by Charlotte. 33 - 28, at the end of the fourth stanza. Who the fuck is 'Charlotte'? Was this a bad pick? Yessssss. Bronie with +14.

Big Dom. SMU struggles with lowly Duke in a turn-over fest somewhere in North Carolina. Ponies 28, DukeDouchers 27, in OT (I think. I wasn't really paying attention.) Insanely, 1 for the win (?), 1 for the no-drop and +2 on the move up (stop yanking my sausage, AP) for a +4 weekend. BigDom with +26. 

BroFro. 29 - 24, Broncos over UNLV. Is Boise a good team or do they just have one Super-Human player? How the fuck would I know that? 1 for the win. 1 for the no-drop. +2 on the AP fellatio. +4 weekend. +32 for the Bitch that seems to be pulling away with this thing. 


DPo. The man who brought us CJK5H goes down. God Posse 24, Kennesaw State 29. Zero on the week. There is nothing more to say here. +12 on the year. 

Ronde'. V Tech with the whoop-ass on G. Tech, 21 - 6. 1 for the win. + 11 on the season. Is it too late for Ronde'? Let's hope so.


$$uke. Louisville sneaks by Boston College on the road, 31 -27. Hard to get awfully excited about this one. 1 for the win. Louisville Cardinals at +15.

DogThe BountyHunter. Good God. Kansas State, not a terribly good team, drops Kansas, a team that, basically, sucks, 29 - 27 in Manhattan, Kansas. Did anyone, other than, maybe, Dawg, watch this game? I doubt it. Zero week, Mission Control. Minus three on the season for Dawgie. 


Lola O. LSU gets dumped in College Station. TAMU 38, LSU 23. Brian Kelly mini-stroke. The AP is vengeful and Satanic. Minus 8 on the power-dive. Lola ends the week at plus 10. Dreams of Glory are, well, just that. Dreams. 

SockPuppet. Miami Hurricanes with the ritual sacrifice of Florida State, 36 -14 in Miami. 1 for the win, 1 for the no-drop, 1 from the AP, +3 weekend, Sock is not fucking around. Wants that repeat BRFL Crown. +30 on the season. 


Psycho. BYE week for Tennessee. 1 for the no-drop. +20 on the year. 

ChibaChews. Another week, another humiliation. Houston 17, Utah 14. Your season is officially a disaster, Cheebs. Minus 11.

Q. Miami gives the rudderless Seminoles the 'deep wash', 36 - 14. The pain is indescribable. 
I guess.
 Another week, another zero. Minus 22.


Timmy! Penn State travels to Camp Randall and bends the Badgers over, 28 - 13. To me, that's impressive. To the AP, not so much. 1 for the win. 1 for the no-drop. +18 on the season.


McLovin. When does a win feel like a loss? When a bunch of pissant Cornhuskers stuff your run game and take you to late in the 4th period at home. Reason for concern much, McLove? 21 - 17, the Buckeyes prevail over Nebraska at home. 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop. +2 adds up to zero on the season. 
Watching Dylan Riola's fat butt-cheeks gouge Ohio State's defense for 30 yards on the ground made me want to puke.

Until we meet again, 'Tards.

GG Week 9 Results


 GG Week 9.

And, once again, Brian Kelly is pissed. This time because Marcel Reed came off the bench for TAMU and stole his lunch money.

Texas A&M 38, LSU 23. Lola, maybe this is NOT the year. 


Minnesota clobbers Maryland, 48 - 23. Ski U Mah. 


Meechy sneaks by Little Brother, 24 - 17 in the Big House. Fist fight begins the second time expires. Stay classy, Michigan

Big Dom. 2 to make 17. You hate Marcel Reed.
Freaux. SWEEP! 5 to reach 23. Stop and smell the roses, Bitch.

Dawg. SWEEP! 5 to go to 19. Comin' on.

BRFL Week 8 Results


And, just like that, it's week 8.

KBron. Memphis outlasts North Texas 52 - 44 in Memphis. 1 for the win. +13 is the total for K-Man.

Big Dom. The Ponies pound Stanford, 40 - 10 in Palo Alto. 1 for the win. Impressive AP love adds +4 more. +5 weekend adds up to +22 on the season.

BreauxFreaux and Boise with the BYE. Seriously fucked over by the AP with a two point drop. WTF, Breaux? Back down to +28.

DPeaux. God Posse takes another week off. DNP, goose-egg on the week. Stay at +12.

Ronde'. Hokies wake from slumber and throttle Boston College 42 - 21 in Blacksburg. 1 for the win. +12 total.

$$uke. The Cardinals are victimized by Miami, 52 - 45 on the road. A sickening sense of hopelessness sets in. Stay at +14.

DogTheBountyHunter. Kansas abuses Houston 42 - 14 at Arrowhead Stadium. 1 for the win. Ascend to minus 3, Dawg. 

Lola O. LSU skonks the Pigs in Fayetteville, 34 - 10 the final. 1 for the win, 1 for the no-drop and that's it. +2 on the week. + 18 the season's score. 

SockPuppet. Miami dumps Louisville 52 - 45. Louisville is officially not good. 1 for the win. 1 for the no-drop. +2 on the week. +27 the total. 

Psycho. Tennessee hosts Alabama and beats their asses 24 - 17 in a penalty-fest but hell of a game otherwise. 1 for the win. 1 for the no-drop. +4 from the AP on the move-up. +6 weekend. Psycho claws some points back and rests at +19.

ChibaChews. What the hell happened to the Utes? TCU beats them, in Salt Lake, 13 - 7 and TCU is not good. Stay at minus 11. Road to nowhere much?

Q. It just keeps getting worse. Even when you don't think it can. Duke bests Florida State 23 - 16 in wherever the fuck Duke plays. Stay at minus 22. 70 million dollar buy-out means the FSU coach isn't going anywhere. 

Timmy! BYE week for the Penn State Eleven. 1 for the no drop. +16 the total. James Franklin getting his head waxed at the only all-Amish whorehouse in State College. 

McLovin. BYE week. The pain. The healing. The full-throated screaming of the Ohio State fan-base demanding that everybody be fired and shot at dawn. Not a great week to be walking alone in Columbus. 1 for the no-drop. Minus 2 for McLovin.

GG Week 8 Results

 

Another week with ZERO sweeps. 
We all took the bait on the Texas game. 
Sigh. 

The Tennessee Vols hand it to Alabama in Knoxville, 24 - 17 the final. Didn't seem that close. UT is for real. 

Illinois, wearing really strange outfits, dumps the hapless Wolverines 21 - 7 in Champaign. Yes, yes. Holy shit, indeed, that the Fighting Illini are the #20 team in the land. Still, that's no excuse to cover a perfectly good helmet with stickers that simulate a century old leather helmet. NO. Excuse. Just, like, no. 

Georgia feels slighted and takes it out on the Texas Longhorns with an ass-whippin' in Austin, 30 - 15. Just, well, fuck you, Bevo. 

KBron: 1 to go to 12.
Big Dom: 2 to make 15. 
BreauxFreaux: Gutter-ball. Zero weekend. Stay at 18, Loser.
DPo: 1 to move to 18. Big deal. 
Ronde': You showed up. Great. 2 to move to 8. Wow.
$$uke: 1 to make 26. I guess I'm no Arnold Palmer. Then again, I don't shower with other PGA golfers.
Dawg: 1 to go to 14. I don't respect your performance thus far in GG.
Lola O: 1 to go to 19. Waiting for the wheels to come off and you to revert to your usual trash effort.
SockPocket: 1 to go to 16. Big man. Wooooo.
Psycho: 2 to go to 17. Finally, someone who's not fucking around.
Chiba: Gutter-ball. Zero. Still, you have 18. Get your shit together.
Q: Jesus. Naught into naught equals naught. Zero on the weekend. You have seven. Is there some history of serious head trauma that the rest of us don't know about?
Timmy! 2 to go to 16 for Mr. Cocky. Pride goeth before a fall, Bitch.
McLovin: 2 to go to 14. Making moves. Regrettably.

BRFL Week 7 Results


 Week 7.

KBron. Memphis drops South Florida, 21 - 3 on the road. Does South Florida suck? Pretty sure. 1 for the win, Mr. Not-such-a-big-deal. +12 on the  season.

Big Dom. SMU DNP. Zero. But wait. THERE'S MORE. A mysterious 'no-play DIDDLE!DIDDLE!DIDDLE! Plus 5. I don't think I've ever seen this before. Somehow it seems wrong but, WTF. It's Season Seventeen, where anything can happen. The Ponies are #25 in the AP. Big Dom is at +17.

BreauxFreaux. Boise rolls Hawaii, 28 - 7 in Coconut Land. What's-his-name gains another 500 yds on three carrys. 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop, +2 on the move up. Holy shit, Breaux has +30 on the year.

DPo. On this Saturday God rested. And so did Team Jesus. Zero. +12.

Ronde'. VTech with the BYE. Best possible outcome for VT. +10.

$$uke. L'ville Cards vanquish woeful Virginia on the road, 24 - 20. Not much to brag about. +1. +14
 total. 



DogTheBountyHunter. Kansas DNP. Best way to avoid another loss Dawg. Stay at minus 4.

Lola O. Is this the season?! LSU finishes off Ole Miss, in Baton Rouge, in OT, 29 - 26. 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop, massive 5 point pump from the AP, and a 7 point weekend bonanza lands you at +16.

SockPuppet. Miami Hurricanes with the BYE week. 1 for the no drop. +25 the total. Thoughts of a repeat BRFL championship are hard to supress right now for 'Puppet.

Psycho. Tennessee dispatches Florida in Neyland Stadium 23 - 17 and, okay, Florida is struggling, but the AP DROPS the Vols 3? Not sure I've seen THAT before. 1 for the win, minus 2 on the weekend, Psycho with +13.

ChibaChews. OMG it just keeps getting worse. The Utes trot out a creaky, 43 year old, one-handed Cam Rising and lose 19 - 17 to Arizona State on the road. The Utes season has officially gone off the rails. This loss leads to a screaming power-dive out of the AP, that's minus 9, then the dreaded REAM!, minus 5 more, and it's a minus 14 weekend. Chiba takes up residence at minus 11.
You Chews, you lose. 

Q. FSU plays it safe with a BYE week. Minus 22. 

Timmy! Penn State makes the cross-country trip to Los Angeles and ... dumps USC 33 - 30 in OT. Another cruel twist of the knife in Lincoln Riley's once-promising career. 😢. 1 for the win.1 for the no drop. 1 for the move up in the AP. +3 weekend. And with Ohio State douching (see below), suddenly that tilt in State College November 2nd looks like a big game. Sit tight at +15.

McLovin. Ohio State travels to noisy Autzen Stadium and loses to Oregon 31 - 32 in a game eerily reminiscent of the last time these two teams tussled in Columbus. The Buckeye offense does fine (except when it doesn't) and the defense is lost in the ozone. Time for the legendary Ohio State D-line coach, Larry Johnson, to move on. AP only slaps a minus 2 on the Scarlet and Gray and McLovin sits at minus 3.
