WEEKEND PICKS: SEAL OF APPROVAL
12.05.08
Every Friday, With Leather picks the winners of the weekend’s hottest matchups. Home team in ALL CAPS:
TONIGHT: Ball State over BUFFALO. The Cards cruise to 13-0 and remain the only team with any legitimate gripe about the BCS.
SATURDAY: NAVY over Army. The nooners are pretty weak tomorrow, but enjoy this storied matchup while you can, because after Obama gets into office in January, this game will be trimmed to 7-on-7 for next year.
No. 19 MIZZOU over NO. 4 Oklahoma. If you’re so hell-bent on being represented in the BCS Championship, why have a conference championship game?
No. 1 Alabama over No. 2 FLORIDA. I don’t understand how the voters can remember that Texas beat Oklahoma, and then totally forget that Florida dropped one at home against Ole Miss. Alabama’s for real.
SUNDAY: SAINTS over Falcons. Despite their amazing season, Atlanta has struggled on the road this year. And facing Drew Brees in the MetroSuperdome is like facing the Lakota-Cheyenne Nations at Little Big Horn.
STEELERS over Cowboys. I don’t like Dallas’ offense on the road, especially in a swamp in western Pennsylvania. Either way, this game should save us from the late-game purgatory that’s resulted in some pretty crappy matchups on the 4 o’clock slate of late.
REDSKINS over Ravens. The late Bill Walsh said that two of the reasons that teams play better on the road is that it’s easier to focus on the game because your wife and stupid kids are stuck at the house and you don’t have to dig up tickets for your friends. Baltimore doesn’t really have that luxury here; sucks for them.

What, no picks for the Women’s Soccer Final Four? For shame.
I did not realize Drew Brees was so tough to play against in Minnesota.
Fine, Smurphette…
UCLA over North Carolina. Women in Southern California are most accustomed to balls bouncing in their face.
STANFORD over Notre Dame. Cuz Cath-o-lic girls start much too late.
Army or Navy’s 7 still beats ND’s 11 next year.
/Go Army
You stole my (Horrifically Awful Team Located in Oklahoma City), Smurphette.
It really pisses me off that a loser like Seal gets to penetrate that crack. His cock must be 2 feet of pitted glory and shoot rainbows.
God Damn Right Roll Tide!
Florida is overrated along with the rest of the SEC. When you get a beating from Ole Miss at home you really deserve nothing.
Arizona over Arizona State.
Also, Arizona basketball over Texas A&M tonight.
whelp you already shat the bed with your ball state pick, and for some reason your brain has taken a vacation a la’ Caylee Anthony style and you’ve picked Bama over THE GATORS…..
good luck with that….oh, and when the Gators have the national championship trophy in their hands and Tebow has his 2nd Heisman, I’ll look down and whisper…Fag!
Ole Miss is better than they’re getting credit for. Biggest loss of the season was by 7, and they only lost by 4 AT Bama. 8-4′s not bad for the SEC. OU vs. Florida.
what the fuck is this? mowzah? i’m the only sooner fan on this site. at least i’m no longer alone.
by the way fuck the seahawks ufford.
Oklahoma will beat mizzou by 3 tds tonight.
“People who get offended or take too much pride in their favorite team should probably just leave now, because I hate you already.”
If the Obama era accomplishes nothing else, it could claim historical relevance by making the above-statement the 28th Amendment. The “leave now,” of course, would apply to the country. Especially for Bama fans.
Good call on that Florida game, ladies.
you’re also forgetting Texas over OU and Mizzou both. 45-35, never forget
Boomer. Fuckin. Sooner. John Basedow, OU could murder UT in Austin TODAY. That’s what’s up
I entreat you to rethink that claim seeing as how Texas originally beat OU on NEUTRAL GROUND by over a touchdown and if they played today OU would be going on no rest after the game yesterday whereas Texas has had over a whole weeks rest.
Masthead, bitches:
People who get offended or take too much pride in their favorite team should probably just leave now, because I hate you already.
“Fucking Motherfuker says:

I was reading this site before that masthead went up cock sucker. Way back when wwtdd linked this site when it first started. And if you think I care about what Seattle sports fan thinks about me your wrong. After Ufford made it public like a year ago how much he hates Oklahoma I took it upon my self to talk shit about anything I don’t like, which happens to include an Oklahoma State (college), the University of Texas, the wannabe college football program in Lubbock and about how much everything from the state of Washington sucks.
So the next time you post the masthead Fucking Motherfucker (clever name doucher) after someone else already has (Hugh B. Brown v2.0), I will take it upon myself to rip out your intestines and strangle you with them.
Hey Fitness Celebrity John Basedow,
At least OU lost to a team that is respected (minus the last two weeks of Mack’s politicking). Texas lost to a mediocre Tech team that I guess just got lucky according to you? No matter what happens, the system benefitted Oklahoma this year. It will benefit Texas, it’s all cyclical.
Oh and Ufford, I know you hate the team formerly known as the Seattle Supersonics, well maybe the owners. But when I said you hate everything Oklahoma, I was referring to the state it self. And all the rest of you piranhas can have your go at me now.
I was 1 for 2. Good enough.
