Ummm, Nevermind

ManUtd 7-1 Roma
ManUtd advance 8-3 on aggregate

Valencia 1-2 Chel$ea
Chel$ea advance 3-2 on aggregate

Obviously, I was thoroughly baked, especially in the case of ManUtd, who put an unheard of SEVEN past Roma, a feat never before accomplished in a single match in Champions League history.


Kanu, earlier today.

Valencia were making me look smart when they went up 1-0, and after Sheva equalized it looked destined for added time until Black Star (as in Ghana national, not a race descriptor) Michael Essien got the winner at the death.

So with ManU, Chel$ea, and for all intents and purposes Liverpool already in the semifinals, the only thing for me to say is:

COME ON THE 'POOL!

Unless Bayern beat AC Milan tomorrow and then vanquish Liverpool, in which case I will be rooting for Das Germans in the final.

Damn, this is some good shit. I'm off to find some Cheetos...

Am I baked?

Clemson is only -4 at Va Tech tomorrow night? Did Spiller and Davis both break legs? Is Mike Vick playing for VT? WTF?

Seems like the taking-candy-from-a-baby bet of the year.

The craziest thing is that it opened at -5 and has gone DOWN since Sunday night.

Forget the transitive property (Clem rolled GT, GT rolled VT at VT), because CFB isn't quite that simple. But if you have watched these two teams play this year one thing is clear: Clemson is very good, and VT is not; VT has played 2 teams this year with a pulse (GT, BC) and hot drilled by both. My man Ron Burgundy would say "it's science".

So yeah, I am to Clemson -4 what the housewife in Napoleon Dynamite is to the ship-in-a -bottle that comes with the 32 piece set: "I want that".

The rest of the Week 9 Useless Picks later.


***Update***



What. The. Fuck?

(now formerly) #1 offense in the country: NINE 3 & outs, SEVEN 1st downs, 166 total yards?

This isn't the pre-November meltdown VT D of years gone by, but apparently last night it was.

Apparently I wasn't the only one baked out of my tree - the Clemson offense and coaching staff appeared to be as well. I imagine their bus up to Blacksburg resembled a Cheech & Chong or Dazed & Confused van - clouded out.

Whatever, dude. Shut up and puff, puff, pass...
