WEEKEND PICKS: WORK IT OUT
02.27.09
With Leather picks the winners of the weekend’s biggest matchups every Friday. And then we give ourselves a hearty high-five. Home team in ALL CAPS.
Saturday. No. 23 FLORIDA STATE over No. 12 Clemson. Clemson has a rich and proud tradition of tanking down the stretch. That first-round loss in the NCAAs can’t come soon enough.
KENTUCKY over No. 18 LSU. How is it possible that LSU has only played 8 road games all year?
Ohio State over No. 16 PURDUE. The Bucks are just 8-7 in the Big Ten right now, and I’d almost prefer they didn’t make the tournament. That conference seems to send way too many teams every year.
DEVILS over Panthers. The Devils have Martin Brodeur back, plus their record at home stands at 21-10-5-2-15-6. Four of you will get that joke.
Reds over RED SOX. If I can pick preseason college basketball, surely I can pick preseason baseball.
Sunday. No. 6 LOUISVILLE over No. 8 Marquette. I saw AC/DC in Freedom Hall once. It was rad.
No. 9 Michigan State over 20 ILLINOIS. There should be a rule that says if you finish a game with less fewer than 40 points, you’re out of the Top 25 for the rest of the year.

She looks like the type of girl I can take home to my parents and say “This is the bitch I’m banging” then my Mom and Dad would high-5 me.
No way, beeee-otch. THE Ohio State University will mete out a savage beatdown to Purdue, thus securing their NCAA Tourney invite. Go Bucks! Get your Goose on and pimp slap the Boilermakers!
I don’t need Skip Bayless to tell me what I already know…Shogun96 is a faggot.
Enrico Pallazzo, your mom could tell you otherwise. After I fucked her in the ass last night, she told me you are a worthless piece of shit loser.
Man this place is really going downhill.
Also, Enrico, a little heads-up, she told me she is going to kick you out of her basement soon. She’s tired of you pissing on the rug all the time.
Huh – I thought I was the only person who ever worked out in hooker shoes. The lucite goes with everything.
I’d recognize that octagon girl anywhere! UFC is good for something…….i wonder if she’d be up for giving me a little rear naked choke?
shotgun96 is gay, he’s busy talking mom’s when there’s a “smash your right nut to screw” girl in the banner pic.
“shogun96 is gay” …
… says the guy using an avatar of a shirtless dude.
Shogun…the best advice I can give you…Shut up.
Shogun?
More like cum-dumpster! AmIrightoramIright?
Hearty high-five, Pauly!
Disclaimer on the upper-right side of the site: People who get offended or take too much pride in their favorite team should probably just leave now, because I hate you already.
Now I’m not saying this is directed at anyone in particular, but I’ve always always always despised Ohio State. Always.
Wow…Lots of angry people here.
p.s. Shogun, the moment you go to a mom joke, you’ve lost.
There should be a rule that says if you finish a game with less than 40 points, you’re out of the Top 25 for the rest of the year.
“less” should be “fewer”
Freedom Hall played AC/DC today during the game…..
I also have a shirtless dude as an avatar……but it’s Rambo.
I don’t care…if this B*tch had a dick I’d suck it.
Jeeze, you can cut the tension with a knife in here. And by “cut the tension” I mean “rub one out.” And by “with a knife” I mean “on Arianny’s chest.”
Just thought I’d clarify.
You know what adds tension?
The fact that I have an erection and a microwaved melon with a hole carved out of it?
