Luke takes a look
First of all, me in my heyday. I'm the good-looking one, on the left.
Forgotten his picks? Of course you have! Well, here they are (were):
1--Washington [Have to hand it to him for this one. Plus he picked the dogs.]
2--Penn State [Duh.]
3--Texas [Duh deux.]
4--California [Oopsie! Looks like the genius needs a map for that clue of his.]
5--Florida [Iffy.]
6--Nebraska [Too high, but credit for not making them the easy #4 pick.]
7--Minnesota [Jury is still out, but this one still looks OK, even if you think it's a homer-pick.]
8--Illinois [Would look good if not for that loss to FSU. But (R)uffda! would look good if not for that face.]
9--Stanford [Credit here, too. Who would have thought they should have been even lower?]
10--Hawaii [Too low, but not embarrassingly low.]
11--Iowa State [OK.]
12--UCLA [Hmmm. The guy has it in for the Bruins, true, but this one is only a little too low, so far.]
13--USC [Good. Trojans done in by Spartans. Go figure.]
14--San Diego [Another miss, thanks to the two Gaucho wranglings. But the Tor-whatevers could still make it back up here.]
15--Utah [Major error, one matched by the AVCA's preseason #17. But there's more Mountain West blunders to come.]
16--Oregon [Team should have been up there with UCLA, USC, Stanford and Cal. 12ish?]
17--Kentucky [Good call, (R) old boy.]
18--Michigan [Understandable. Wolverines' season, so far, is still pretty much the Nebraska win. But too low, by the results.]
19--Long Beach State [His faith in the Beach has once again proven to be misplaced. When will he ever learn? When will he e-ver lah-ern?]
20--Wichita State [Fair enough.]
21--St. Louis [Jury also on vacation about this team. Tough schedule, but bad loss to Cincinnati.]
22--Colorado State [The other Mountain West blunder, although they are playing better and now look like the best of the MWC.]
23--Purdue [Too high. Could improve.]
24--Baylor [Another nice one. Maybe.]
25--Arizona [And another one.]
26--UCI [Three in a row!!]
27--Pepperdine [Done in by the Army Blanket. Bummer.]
28--St. Mary's [OK.]
29--Texas A&M [OK.]
30--Cal Poly [Really, really bad call here.]
HM--Kansas State [Good spot, too high if anything.]
HM--Santa Clara [OK.]
Missing? Dayton, FSU and LSU. UNI and MSU (maybe, but probably not, for both). Notre Dame?
All in all? This dog has some bark to him. So far. I wish I could say otherwise, because now it just looks like he's used a nom de blog to pat himself on the back.
But if that's the case, only a real egomaniac would go ahead and post it, so I can't be he? Now can I?
So where's (R)uffda!? Apparently, he's been traumatized by this morning's viewing of Inglorious Basterds and is upstairs in the bathtub, cowering with his rubbie-duckie.
That means it's time for good old Luke to take his turn at blogging this sucker and I, if I say so myself, have a great idea. What say we take a look at (R)uffda!'s pre-season rankings and see just how well El Grande Bozo is doing?Forgotten his picks? Of course you have! Well, here they are (were):
1--Washington [Have to hand it to him for this one. Plus he picked the dogs.]
