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…

The Hierarchy of Player Compliments

I don’t have to tell you, but football season is quickly approaching. Football, of the American variety, is a sport beloved by pretty much everyone. One of the things we love about the sport is that is played by athletes who display extraordinary abilities. There are different ways to describe those players. I believe there…

Hard Knocks 2022 Drinking Game

The 2022 Edition of Hard Knocks premieres tonight. HBO goes inside training camp with the Detroit Lions. The Lions have been mired in futility for the past decade or so. Last season, they finished 3-13-1 under first year head coach Dan Campbell. That said, Hard Knocks is back and that means football is right around…

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…

The U Will Be Back In 2022

Miami underwent some necessary changes this offseason. Manny Diaz is out and Mario Cristobal is in. The Hurricanes finished the 2021 season with a record of 7-5 before skipping out on the Sun Bowl due to COVID-19. Remember that? Miami is hoping to make the 2021 season a distant memory. The season started with high…

All Aboard the Jontre Kirklin Hype Train!

LSU will complete their 2020 season tomorrow night in the TaxAct Texas Bowl against Kansas State. It was a disappointing season for the Tigers, but they defeated Texas A&M for their sixth win to gain bowl eligibility. However, as you know by now, they will be shorthanded for this game. Freshman Garrett Nussmeier is listed…

Nado’s Notions: Week 5

Season record: 10-8 Last week: 4-1 (Liberty -6, Army -8.5, Louisville -2, UCLA/Stanford over 58.5, Kentucky -5) I finally had a winning weekend and just like that I am over .500 for the season. Let’s keep it rolling! Iowa Hawkeyes (4-0) @ Maryland Terrapins (4-0) | October 1 | 7:00 PM CT | Capital One…

Nado’s Notions: Week 4

Season record: 6-7 Last week: 2-2 (Army -33.5, Michigan State +6.5, Mississippi State/Memphis over 64, BYU +3.5) Another ho-hum 2-2 week. Army failed to cover again, but this time they were victims of a bad beat. Tough break, but onwards we go… Liberty Flames (3-0) @ Syracuse Orange (2-1) | September 24 | 7:00 PM…

Nado’s Notions: Week 3

Season record: 4-5 Last week: 2-3 (Army -7, Oregon/Ohio State over 63.5, Pittsburgh -3.5, Syracuse +2, Texas A&M/Colorado under 51) Tough week, but please don’t blame me for taking Army on September 11. Then I missed the Oregon and Ohio State over by half a point. The road to improvement starts now! UConn Huskies (0-3)…

This Week In The SEC: Week 2

Game of the Week: Missouri Tigers (1-0) @ Kentucky Wildcats (1-0) Not only is this the best game of the week, this is the only game that features two SEC teams. While Georgia and Florida still likely reign supreme in the SEC East, this game likely vaults either Kentucky and Missouri as a challenger. Both…
