I will continue to hit on this until I'm either proven wrong or, unfortunately, right. If Richt leads another talented albeit young and learning team to a mediocre season, it matters not how many alumni and boosters are making catcalls towards the up-and-coming coaches out there (Boise's coach, for example, expensive but certainly attainable). Eventually, the decision-makers are going to begin evaluating their investment. Richt playing the role of our beloved and long-tenured coach is no longer sacrosanct. Richt as our future coach? This is going to come under consideration if we see another 8-5 season. 9-4 and you're on the hot seat next year, CMR.
Never thought I would ever have that thought process. Then again, beat Arkansas convincingly and I'll be the first one to Tarzan-swing on Richt's testicles. Moving on.
The picks.
Records
OBJ: 6-3
Joe Friday: 5-4
Still early to talk about percentages, but Sue's is a respectable 64% picking against the spread. We may want to dip our big toe's in the NFL Ocean soon...
Last Week's Picks

Another huge hit to SEC Snobs everywhere with Tennessee getting killed by Oregon at home last week. Box score?
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | T | ||
| #7 | ORE | 3 | 10 | 14 | 21 | 48 |
| TENN | 6 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 13 |
Tennessee has been the proverbial sacrificial lamb in recent years, losing to USC and now Oregon consistently, but with Ole Miss' bed-wetting against Jacksonville State last week, we have little to brag about. Of course, we can always point to recent BCS Championships and Alabama's seemingly-paved road to Arizona this year, but who wants to do that?
Today's Picks
Lots and lots of terrible games last week, and we're barely into ACC conference play. Several marquee match-ups this weekend.
Joe Friday 1: Kansas (+6) over Southern Mississippi
Joe Friday 2: Kansas/Southern Mississippi UNDER 51.5
Joe Friday 3: Florida (-14) over Tennessee
Joe Friday 4: Alabama (-23.5) over Duke
Joe Friday 5: Southern California (-11.5) over Minnesota
OBJ 1: California (-2.5) over Nevada
List of teams I never trust against the spread: Clemson, Virgina Tech, California. These teams ALWAYS screw you over when you trust them to take care of business. And yet you're always drawn to them...
OBJ 2: Connecticut (-5) over Temple
I may be a bit inebriated, because after looking through all of the lines I feel most confident about this one.
OBJ 3: Oklahoma State (-6.5) over Tulsa
OBJ 4: Georgia (-2.5) over Arkansas
This could be the whisper of death into all of the bulldogs taking the field tomorrow that read this blog (read: none of them). Sure, Sue's went 0-2 against the spread for you last week. But let's put it this way: lose this game, and I won't have you in my picks the rest of the year!
