Six Pick: Week Nine

Virginia Tech Hokies football, basketball, athletics blog and forum featuring: unique columns, breaking news, film studies, in-depth analysis, recruiting, videos and jokes.

One upset Saturday down, with at least another one to come ... but when? Stay tuned. Like the rest of October, there are only a couple of marquee games this weekend. But, you never know when a Texas Tech will strike, shake the foundation, and move Boise State get that much closer to the national title game. Speaking of national title games, we are only week away from that de facto one, and I am giddy with excitement. A mini-viewing party is in the works at Casa de BCO, complete with beer, BBQ, cornhole and college football at its highest level. ::Breathe:: I am putting the cart before the horse. First, let's see what this weekend brings.

This week's Six Pick was a challenge to write. You are reading my 3rd attempt. Games and content changes were the norm. At first I was angry due to all of the shit games. Instead of being a spoiled, petulant child, I decided to have fun instead, though I had to leave behind some grade-A hate for Manhattan, Kansas, algroh and Lane Kiffin. Sigh, maybe another time. No, your eyes do not deceive you, I have included a hoo game. One of two things will happen, uva will lose and London will want to cry or uva will win and Mike London will cry (while eliminating Miami's chances at the Coastal crown). Either way it's a win for all of us. Halloween is Monday, which means crazy parties, an excuse for wiminz to dress real slutty, and the trick-or-treat edition of the Six Pick. God, I miss college, have fun you crazy kids.
