    Nado’s Notions: Week 7

    Season record: 12-12-2 Last week: 3-2 (Missouri +11, Louisville/Virginia over 50.5, Wisconsin -10, Texas Tech +9.5, Washington -14) I got off to a great start with Missouri covering, Louisville and Virginia going over, and Wisconsin demolishing Northwestern. However, that is where it ended. Texas Tech could not hold onto a second half lead and to…

    Nado’s Notions: Week 6

    Season record: 9-10-2 Last week: 4-1 (Washington/UCLA over 66, Kentucky +6.5, Illinois +7, Baylor -2.5, Maryland -7.5) I want to say I am back, but with a season record under .500, I am going to refrain. As you can see, I did go 4-1. Plenty of season left, though. Let’s keep it rolling, shall we?…

    Nado’s Notions: Week 5

    Season record: 5-9-2 Last week: 0-3-1 (Maryland-Michigan over 65, North Carolina -2, Arkansas +2, Oklahoma -13) Just a brutal week. Maryland and Michigan fell short of the total with a score of 34-27 and things never got better. Drake Maye and North Carolina put up points, but their defense did very little to stop Notre…

    Nado’s Notions: Week 4

    Season record: 5-6-1 Last week: 2-3 (Florida State -2.5, Kansas State -14.5, Ole Miss -16.5, Penn State/Auburn under 47.5, UT-San Antonio +12.5) Florida State and Ole Miss got it done, but beyond that, it was a rough week. Kansas State lost outright, so I need to give Tulane their due. The Auburn defense did not…

    Nado’s Notions: Week 3

    Season record: 3-3-1 Last week: 2-1-1 (Pittsburgh -6.5, Texas Tech -3, Kentucky +5.5, USC -8) Pittsburgh squandered a 10-0 lead before falling to Tennessee in overtime, 34-27. However, things got better as Kentucky won outright and USC rolled to a rather comfortable win at Stanford. Sitting at 50%, this is a pivotal week for me.…

    You, Me, & RGIII

    I am sure you have heard of Robert Griffin III, or as he’s more popularly known, RGIII. Griffin III won the Heisman in 2011 at Baylor then went on to win the 2012 Offensive Rookie of the Year as a member of the Washington Redskins. His football playing career may be over (never say never),…

    Nado’s Notions: Week 2

    Season record: 1-2 Last week: 0-2 (Ole Miss/Troy over 58, Utah -2.5) Like LSU, I had a disastrous week 1. However, it is just one week, so let’s not hop off the wagon just yet. Allow me to redeem myself before you start calling me Clark-fade-o. On to week two… #24 Tennessee Volunteers (1-0) @…

    Nado’s Notions: Week 1

    Season record: 1-0 Last week : 1-0 (Illinois/Wyoming under 46) We were able to hang on and get this under as Illinois defeated Wyoming by a score of 38-6. I mentioned that these two teams were not proficient in throwing the ball, and they were not. Wyoming posted a measly 30 yards through the air,…

    Nado’s Notions: Week 0

    Nado’s Notions is back for a fourth season. May the winning ways continue. First, let’s check the records. 2019: 36-31-2 2020: 40-32-1 2021: 37-29-1 Collectively, that gives me a record of 113-92-4, a winning percentage of 55%. No time to rest of my laurels now as a new season is upon us. How about some…

    Virginia Doesn’t Belong in the SEC

    News broke last week that the SEC was considering expansion in the wake of the Big Ten (not sure why they still call themselves that) adding UCLA and USC. Braden Keith, who owns a website called swimswam.com, posted the above tweet and went viral. Now, you can ask yourselves how someone who runs a swimming…
