Is the Element of Surprise...

Sorry guys, it's not another vent/optimism thread. I know we love 'em. It's a "I'm ready to be 0-6 again" post. All the cool kids are doing it; me, Michael Bauer, and brnse are hanging out down here doing shots and well, more shots! It's the only explanation for our collective performance. Congratulations for everyone that didn't pick any of the teams I did. Which was no one. Even last week's champion at 5-1, Chris Porter picked using his Hokie heart and got burned.

If you're new here; GOTCHA! Now use the link below (or in my signature of any of my comments) to sign up and get Pickin'! Trust me, you're not far behind. Our top scorers have 12 points and that means it's still anybody's season! Also, the SEC and Notre Dame get 0 reserved spots in our playoffs! It's free to join and if you don't like it, I'll even refund your entry fee*.
Here are this week's games! Remember to head on over to CBSSports.com to show the Gods of FootballTM where they can hurt you the most.
MISSOURI at BOSTON COLLEGE (Missouri -2.5)
What does this gif have to do with this football game? Nothing except it came up in an image search and it was insane. So that's the theme of the week! Rugby gifs!
Way more epic than Flutie's Threw-it-up-and-something-stuck "Miracle", maybe because we haven't seen it 10 times every broadcast for 30 years.
(12) NOTRE DAME at (18) WISCONSIN (Wisconsin -5.5)
I hope Notre Dame has the same kind of luck of the Irish that Patches O'Houlihan had in Dodgeball.
(7) Texas A&M at (16) Arkansas (TAMU -5.5)
Since there's no way either of these teams are winning their conference, maybe they can score some style points on the other one.
Settle it on the field, guys. Wait, not like that.
(21) UNCheat at GaaaaaaahTECH (Cheaters -12.5)
Yeah, yeah. Giant meteor. Yes, you have to Pick one.
Where's the chop block, Pawwwwwwwwl?
FLORIDA ATLANTIC at AIR FORCE (USAF -5.5)
Who knows anything about FAU or AF football? No one, I'm pretty sure.

Nice pass, bro.
OREGON ST at Southern California (USCw -12.5)
Beavers vs. Trojans. The oldest rivalry.
Scrums also bring to mind some imagery from health class.
In summary:
MISSOURI at BOSTON COLLEGE (Missouri -2.5)
(12) NOTRE DAME at (18) WISCONSIN (Wisconsin -5.5)
(7) Texas A&M at (16) Arkansas (TAMU -5.5)
(21) UNCheat at GaaaaaaahTECH (Cheaters -12.5)
FLORIDA ATLANTIC at AIR FORCE (USAF -5.5)
OREGON ST at Southern California (USCw -12.5)
Beer of the Week is Hardywood's Fightin' Hokies Lager

Maybe it's because I'm a sucker for all things VT. Maybe it's because I was in Food Lion after 10 pm. Who's to say. What made this decision easier for me was the Gobbler logo on the bottlecaps, though. If you'd like to donate your good-condition FHL caps to my collection, I'll create something cool with them and post it here. Let me know in the comments.

I've always dreamed of seeing a game between Oregon and South Carolina. Beavers vs Cocks.
My game prediction: It'd go back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and then it would be a blowout.
"And the Beavers are back on top, but look for USC to make a real push to come from behind late. Could be a tough ask..."
Oregon state?
Shit. Yes.
I'll take

BOTW: Have some of these left over and need to polish them off.

How does it compare to heady topper
Personally, I like it better. I'd say in head to head, it's probably 60% for Focal, but there is nostalgia for Heady.
Deeper dive, I'd say it's slightly darker, maybe slightly maltier, and even a little more bitter from the hops.
