Tako Tuesdays: The Top Five

This picture is unrelated to the post, but it is dying to by Photoshopped to look like a breakdance battle. (Photo by Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images)

You all know by now that I'm not very good with words. Just can't seem to use 'em the right way. If it wasn't for Matt Daddy's diligent editing, most Tako Tuesdays would look like this:

OH HAI guys its Tako did u knoe that some beer's taste more diffrent than other beer's likeif you drink a Bud lite then have a raineeeer beer right after they taste kind of the same cuz their made of the same stuff but they dont excacly taste the same you know what i mean? I like the Ducks alot and I think there going to win the national championchip this year heres some other random shit i thought of 15 minuets ago ok thx biyee.

See what I mean? Thank God for Matt Daddy's penchant for vodka and Adderall, or you'd have to slog through that nonsense every week. Yeesh, what a mess.

However, do not let my lack of vocabularic and syntaxical prowess fool you; I'm pretty damn smart. I passed AP Calculus, I got a 1420 on my SATs with a hangover and without studying, I turned down UC Berkeley, and I can juggle. The credentials speak for themselves, my ideas are clever and worth your time. So to save Matt Daddy some time (and let him get back to playing Starcraft and prank-calling the diner down the street from his parent's house), I won't be using those pesky paragraphs. Instead, this very special episode of Tako Tuesdays is chock full of my 2011 football season predictions, in the form of Top Five lists.

Boyett as first teamer?

I think Boyett’s fantastic, but it’s a really deep year at safety. I’m guessing Boyett’s on 2nd team after TJ McDonald (way better than Taylor Mays was) and Delano Howell (Stanford). Just saying Cliff is more likely, even with the suspension.

It has really surprised me this year how few all conference type players we have outside of James and Cliff. I think Heimuli actually has a chance given how thin the D-line talent is in the conference.

by Cafecivet on Aug 16, 2011 10:34 AM PDT reply actions  

Yes, yes, yes. Boyette as first teamer. Anything else is heresy.

Huff and James predicted to score 2-pt conversions?

Did you simply not have any ideas after #1-3? Dion Jordan scored several. I would have added Colt Lyerla over Huff or James as he’s much more likely to be on the PAT team.

I figure we'll have a couple straight-up two point opportunities this year.

For likely losses, I'd go:

1. LSU
2. Stanford
3. USC
4. Arizona
5. Arizona St.

As much as I hate UW, an away game plus our streak make me way more vervous than the AZ schools.

The UW game scares the shit out of me

Here’s the thing: We run the gauntlet in November. Washington starts that…It’d be really easy to look ahead to Andrew Luck and Stanford the next week.

Exactly, am thinking of USC a few years back. Sark gets his boys up for a game, and he knows this game is huge for the UW alum. Think it’s going to really close.

They haven't been within 19 points of us in 7 years.

I’m not completely sure they should “scare the shit” out of you.

In the name of listing things, I say we rank Miami's violations from worst to less awful

The choices:
-prostitution
-football “hit list” placed on opposing players
-paying collegiate players to sign with agents
-providing coaches/admin extra benefits
-gifts such as rims
-free housing
-unlimited access to a party yacht and 2 mansions
-providing underage players alcohol
-purchasing recruits (among tons of other recruiting violations that coaches knew about)
-probably a lot of stuff I forgot

Here’s my list
1) providing coaches/admin extra benefits
2) paying players to sign with a specific agent
3) their recruiting stuff
4) prostitution
5) buying players gifts (rims, even entire cars)
