  • Nado’s Notions: Bowl Edition Part 1

    Season record: 32-28-2 Last week: 0-1 (LSU +17.5) We are on to bowl season, and despite a loss in Championship Week, I am still four games over .500. However, with bowl season upon us, there is still work to be done. Let’s go bowling, shall we? #24 Troy Trojans (11-2) vs. #25 UT-San Antonio Roadrunners…

    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.

  • 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)…

  • Nado’s Notions: Week 2

    Season record: 2-2 Last week: 2-2 (Virginia Tech +5.5, Texas -8, Georgia-Clemson over 51.5, Kent State +29.5) Things started off well as Virginia Tech won outright and Texas covered with relative ease. However, the Saturday night games went poorly. Georgia and Clemson scored only 13 points with the only touchdown coming from a defensive score.…

  • Nado’s Notions: Bowl Edition

    Season record: 36-32-1 Last week: 1-4 (USC -3, USC/Oregon over 62.5, Oklahoma -5.5, Tennessee +14, Alabama -17) Well, I ended the season on a sour note thanks in large part to USC’s ineptitude in the Pac 12 Championship. The Trojans fell to Oregon 31-24 in a messy affair. My only win came by a narrow…

  • Nado’s Notions: Week 14

    Season record: 33-26-1 Last week: 3-2 (Kansas State +10, Auburn +7, Tennessee +17, Iowa State -7, Clemson -22) It looked like I was heading for another terrible week, but thankfully I closed the day strong to go 3-2. Thanks in part to a Tennessee backdoor cover. I also have to mention my shoutout on Barstool…

Luckily, LSU saved me from a disastrous 2-5 week with a late, backdoor cover. However, my season record is still 55%,…

  • Nado’s Notions: Week 11

    Season record: 26-17-1 Last week: 1-3 (Miami/Virginia Tech over 67, Michigan State +7.5, Boston College +13.5, Wisconsin -4) Ouch. A week after going 5-0, I fell flat on my face. It was not a good week for me, but it was even worse for the state of Michigan. Michigan and Michigan State were outscored a…
