2013 ATVS - Geaux Show Pick'em Challenge - Week 2

The strangest photos make it into the Presswire database...

Read'em and weep folks. I just barely started off the year above .500 but it's always good to see that a large majority of the group did so as well. ActionCuse, our resident LSU hoops blogger, stood alone with a 13-2 record. Instead of awarding the Grand Koozie to him (he'll be getting one anyway) I've decided to pick the next in line, dontbethatguy, as this weeks winner. You will be getting an e-mail soon. Not a lot of creativity in the names this year, though Two Headed Dumpster Friar is pretty good. Kinda disappointing to see some of our most regular commenters down in the basement, but sometimes that's just how the prolate spheroid bounces. If you missed the first week, it's not too late to jump in and fight your way to the top for the weekly koozie giveaway. To sign up JUST CLICK THIS LINK. The password is "tigers".

Kinda funny to go back and note that Bama still beat the huge spread over VT, despite all the problems they had. Sad to say none of our Louisiana brethren had a good weekend. Note for future picks that ULM's star QB Kolton Browning got hurt against OU, but to what extent I don't know. I might have to keep selecting FSU and Clemson games until one (or both) of them explode spectacularly as a double digit favorite. How the hell did so many of us think that Kentucky was 'Sposed to be SEC?

Ladies and Gentlemen, say goodbye to Boise St as they will now completely disappear for 2013 until reappearing to upset an also-ran P12 team in the Vegas Bowl. That crater of a performance, combined with a schedule that's nearly as bad as Louisville, means their season is essentially over.

Coming up with 12 games was very difficult, given the bare cupboard this week. ND @ Mich and SCar @ UGA are it for entertainment value. Even as lackluster as they were last week, UF is going to destroy Miami. Western Kentucky can start the season 2-0 in the SEC East (and has a chance at holding that division lead for most of September) Can USL do what a D1-AA was able to do in Manhattan? SLU @ TCU is not a trolling pick if you know who's on SLU's roster this year.
