The Aggies are not known for there basketball but the 2018/2019 team version is strong, deep and talented!!

Coach Self was very red faced at his battle with the Clones!!  This can mean that he had the four enchilada spicy platter at his favorite local Mexican restaurant or NCAA investigators or FBI dudes waiting for Coach after the game!!  Please medicate Bill!!  Cyclones local legend, Kevin Highland, Tulsa Mortgage Banker and friend of B in T was very upset about the officiating!!  In the mid-70s, Kevin averaged 15 a game!!  15 seconds a game that is!!

**********UPSET SPECIAL*************

Kansas State 71  Texas Tech 68  

Texas Tech played Duke and has been ranked as high as 12th in the nation!! The Wildcats are without their first team all-Big 12 hoss Dean Wade so a perfect upset pick!!  Tech has one of the nations top defenses but the Wildcats have length!!

Iowa State 87 Oklahoma State 77

The Clones keep getting 4 star recruits from up East!!  I would go to Des Mainz, Iowa for a new Lexus and weed!!  FBI and NCAA investigators will not go to igloo land because of the cold!!  Clones 5 Star recruit from Queens, NY scores 35 to beat OSU, and Coach Boynton who does things the right way!!

DAY 2 PICKS!!

Dec 31

Liberty Bowl

Oklahoma State 42 Missouri 24

Coach Mullet did his best coaching in the Memphis Liberty Bowl!!!   He had a number of players transfer and some players declared for the NFL Draft!!  Believe it or not, some team managers declared early for nursing school and to seek doctors residency!!  OSU new running back Chimua rushed for 184 yards and 3 touchdowns!!  Superstar OSU wideout Tylenol Wallace (causes Defensive Backs to have headaches) catches passes with one hand and just two fingers at times!!  Pokes thirtysomething looking QB has a great game and is being considered as late-round NFL pick with a copy of birth certificate!!

Grumman Northrup, a former New York Congressman and 5-star general, is the main sponsor for the Military Bowl!!  Virginia Tech’s coach Fuentes was irritated at some calls made by the PAC 10 officiating crew!!  He was slapped with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty when he told the refs that they were worse than the conference the came from!!   Cincinnati’s speedy defense slowed down the Va Tech offense!!  Bearcat head coach Luke Fickell is a candidate for numerous coaching job once all the coaching trees have been shaken out!!  Maybe 2020 but watch out Bearcat fans!!

Redbox Bowl

Michigan State 34 Oregon 26

No one can blame the Michigan State team for looking ahead to their next game on August 31st, 2019 against the mighty Tulsa Golden Hurricane in Ann Arbor, Michigan!!  But Spartans eeked by the Mighty Ducks in the fourth quarter!!  Everyone who enters the Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California received a free Redbox rental but it must be returned the the Santa Clara area Redbox!!

Jan 1

Fiesta Bowl

Central Florida 42  LSU 35

Central Florida won the game according to most Tiger fans simply because they did not want to be there!!!  The poor wittle football boys did not want to take millions back to their conference!!  The poor Tiger Cubs did not want to have an extravagant Fiesta Bowl dinner, with steak, lobster, caviar, and plates made of gold!!!  They dreaded getting Fiesta Bowl Gifts like, a year supply of medical marijuana, a 45”, 55” and 70” Vizio TV, and a new IPod wrist watch that tells you when you should take medicine and if your overdue for a bowel movement!!  Waaaa!!!  Waaaa!!!

Rose Bowl

Ohio State 48  Washington 35

Pasadena, California is the site of the Granddaddy of them all!!!  The Rose Bowl has had such greats as Mark Harmon (TV’s NCIS), and O.J. Simpson.  Mark Harmon is the sex God for all middle age and up women of America!!  Simpson was known as the dude whose glove did not fit and in a Bronco chase scene that was viewed by billions!!  Buckeyes superb offense led by the third-place Heisman Trophy QB Dwayne Haskins was too much for the Huskies!!  The Rose Bowl player gifts this year were amazing!!  Giant 100” Sony TV and a brand new Rolex Rose Bowl watch with diamonds freshly cut from the mountains of Zimbabwe!! 

Sugar Bowl 

Georgia 35  Texas 24

The Bulldogs and QB, Jake Fromm, powered through the Longhorn defense like a big dog on a small bone!!  The Georgia Bulldog Uga and the Longhorn mascot Bevo,  both escaped their weeny armed male cheerleader handlers during the 1st Quarter!!  Eighteen year old, Uga chased the one ton Bull until it had a massive heart attack and had to be carried off on a large trampoline!!  Georgia has way too many horses and Texas Coach Herman needs to go back to the Big 12 and talk smack to the Sooners and company in 2019!!  Nice year Herm, after 10 years of average it's nice to have a season to match your salary!

Dec 29th Semifinal

Orange BowlOklahoma 38 Alabama 35  

I am possibly the only official prognosticator in America to pick the lowly Oklahoma Sooners to beat the giant Godzilla like, Grumpy Saban coached Crimson Tide!!  Numerous other national pickers who just graduated from Gamblers Anonymous have picked the Tide to beat the Sooners by 10 all the way to 100 points!!  Numerous Alabama players were seen taking picture with their agents and their                                                                        
families during the game!!  This is an NCAA infraction but Grumpy Saban was also seen giving some hundred dollar bills yo to the NCAA officials during the game!!  True story, honest, I promise!!  Bowl gifts for Oklahoma players included I-pads, 46” Vizio TVs and mope heads bikes!!  Alabama players and Coach ‘I parted the Red Sea’ Saban’s gifts included Sony sound systems with Blaupundt speakers made out of gold, a 120” Sony Big screen with 3 theatre seats and Harley Davidson Big Daddy Motorcycle with sidecars for both sides!!  Oh, the game was won by Heisman Murray, whom B in T picked in the 4th week to win Heisman, and who threw 3 touchdowns and ran for another!!  Dilly Dilly for the Sooners!!

Cotton Bowl

Clemson 38  Notre Dame 24

Clemson’s speed, size, and athleticism were too much for the golden dome boys from South Bend!!  The Coach for Notre Dame, Brian Kelly has had 9 lives twice!!!  His first nine lives expired after the Tulsa loss 6 years ago!!!  The TU band went on the field and four age 50 something TU fans streaked on the field while Notre Dame was doing their school anthem!!  Notre Dame coach was named AP coach of the year!!  Nine more lives!!  Too much Dabo and too much 5 star defensive players for the Irish!!

Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl

Michigan 31  Florida 13

Coach Kaki and his Wolverines defeated the Gators in a close game in Atlanta, Georgia!!  The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl teams dinner was, you guessed, catered by Chick-fil-A corporate offices from Atlanta!!  The dinner consisted of 9 flaky crust chicken nuggets, waffle fries, flaky breaded apple pies, and a chocolate frosty!!  The Michigan defensive line ate up the Gators O like a gator eats a cow on the movie Lake Placid!!  Now I am not hungry!
