The Giants Aftermath!

So we hit the Giants game and it sure didn’t disappoint. We got to the parking lot around 2. Later then we wanted, but still enough time to get properly lubed up for the game. We had a 24 pack and a bottle of vodka in our arsenal and got after it immediately. I’ll say one thing about Giants fans, they’re a nice group of people. The guys next to us gave us a couple sandwiches and threw our beers in their cooler to keep them cold. We hit it as hard as possible for the 90 minutes we had. Got to our seats a couple minutes after kickoff.

To make things more interesting Hammer had a huge wager on the Packers covering the spread. This brought everything to an entirely different level. They didn't cover and slept in his trunk for the ride home. I wish I was joking

RCTG Hits The Giants Game

We're taking it on the road! Pacman, the Hungarian Hammer and myself are hitting the Giants vs Packers game tomorrow. The tailgate begins around 12. I'm bringing the bloodies and some grub. This should be a good one. Got the tickets from my boss. Hopefully I won't be fired on Monday.

This game is either going to be a tight or the Packers or going to blow us out. I'm thinking tight game. Mr. Tuck needs to wake up and start rushing the passer.

You want to be the captain? Give me 2 sacks, a couple knockdowns and a bunch of pressures and you got it!

Conference Championship Predictions

I know you've all been waiting for these. This is where I make my nut. Went 4 for 5 last year. I'm aware the Big East isn't on here. They conference is garbage when it comes to football and not worth the time.

Georgia

LSU -13.5

This SEC Championship game is probably the easiest to pick. LSU Is going to

cover this spread. The LSU defense may cover this spread on their own. Easy money pick!

Oklahoma

Oklahoma State -3

This is going to be a shoot out. Neither team can play a lick of defense. OK State should cover this one, but I would stay away if it was my money.

Virginia Tech -7

Clemson

Virginia Tech played one of the softest schedules I've ever seen this year, but I think Clemson is in a free fall. Virginia Tech to win and cover.

Michigan State

Wisconsin -9

Wisconsin is going to put a beat down on Michigan State. After that epic loss on a hail mary they’ll make sure it’s not close enough for something like that to go down this time.

UCLA

Oregon -31.5

This is going to be a destruction. Oregon is going to win this game and run up the score as high as humanly possible. They’ll cover 31.5.

Fightin' Irish Football In 2012

So my brother is saying that Notre Dame will be a contender next year. This is an extremely bold statement, especially after watching the abortion of a game they played on Saturday against Stanford. Stanford didn't look that great either by the way. Notre Dame always plays a difficult schedule and gets every teams best. Let's break down their 2012 schedule.

2012 ND Schedule

Sept. 1		Navy (Dublin, Ireland) - Win
Sept. 8		PURDUE - Win
Sept. 15		at Michigan State - Loss
Sept. 22		MICHIGAN - Loss
Sept. 29		Open Date
Oct. 6		MIAMI (Soldier Field) - Win
Oct. 13		STANFORD - Win
Oct. 20		BYU - Win
Oct. 27		at Oklahoma - Loss
Nov. 3		PITTSBURGH - Win
Nov. 10		at Boston College - Win
Nov. 17		WAKE FOREST - Win
Nov. 24		at USC - Loss

There you have it folks 8 wins and 4 losses. It's good enough to be Bowl elidgable, but not in the national championship hunt. The Boston College game could go either way too. They always play ND tough and have the game at home. The Miami game depends on the field. If the field is in good condition and it's a nice day ND is in real trouble. Miami is lightening quick.

I hope Notre Dame does better then this. You have to cheer for a program that has some academic standards. A lot of the guys on the top ten programs can barely read, but they sure can play football.....

Friday College Games

Arkansas

LSU -12 o/u 52

LSU is going to win this game, there's no debating that. What's up for debate is the amount. I can't take LSU to cover 12 so I would stay away from the spreads all together. The easy money here is the o/u. No way these teams are going over 52. Arkansas may score 10 and there's no way LSU is putting up more then 40 against a good Arkansas defense.

Pitt

West Virginia - 6.5 o/u 57

I hammer WV here. Pitt is terrible on the road. It's actually sad to see the Pitt program fall so far, but no one will shed a tear in WV. Pitt ruined a couple championship runs in this game.

How To Fix Penn State

This is a multi-year plan for Penn State to come back to prominence and if done correctly, become even bett

er then before.

This year

Play it out with who you have and at the end of the season get rid of anyone associated with the incident that knew about it, probably knew about it and are staying quiet and guys that should have known about it. Gut the facility so it looks nothing like it did. This could take all of 2012, but that shower and locker room need to be destroyed.

2012 - maybe 500

Keep the current coach Tom Bradley in place and play it out. You're maybe going to be around .500 and perhaps

make a bowl. This is a throw away year. Recruiting is going to be terrible and you don't expect to make a bowl. The poor record and commitments gives the AD a chance to clean house. After the season you fire all personal that were there during the 2011 mess. This will help with the negative recruiting that's going to be rapent for the next couple years. No one here knew about what was happening.

2013 - under 400, no bowl

You go after Urban Meyer! Write him a blank check and get him to come in. He can turn this around and his integrity is above reproach. He can hand pick his staff. If he's not available or willing to come you have to get a big name coach who can recruit and has integrity. You have to go outside the Penn St family. The family is defunct. You have a brand new facility.

The legend of Joe Pa is a couple years old so it's not as prevalent. At this point Joe may have passed away, he just let everyone know he has lung cancer.

2014 - under 500, maybe a Bowl Game

Urban's first year recruiting is decent, probably doesn't break the top 25, it takes a while to set up scouts and such. There's a ton of excitement around the program though.

2015 - over 500, Bowl Game

Top 25 recruiting class. Beat Ohio State and have a great year

2016 - Over 500, Bowl Game

Top 25 recruiting class. Firing on all cylinders. The fastest team in the Big 10.

2017 - Win Big 10, Major Bowl

Top 10 recruiting class.

Joe who???

After Thanksgiving Golf!

So if you haven't noticed I've really gotten away from golf here. We're doing one last hurrah for the year this Friday at Tashua Glen. I've never played there before, but the Knoll was booked up so we're giving it a shot. I'm hitting it up with The Kid, Digital and Pacman. Pacman is bringing a bottle of makers mark and Digital wants to do a beer a hole so it should get wild. Course looks fine in the pictures online, but we'll see what it looks like in November

The BCS Championship Breakdown

So the Oklahoma St loss messes up the while bcs as of now. I think it opens it up to a handfull of teams. Don't worry it will be sorted out and we'll have a clear number two. The two best teams in the country are LSU and Alabama, we may get a rematch. I also think whoever comes out of the SEC will with the championship. If it's LSU or Alabama it may be a 35 to 6 win.

SEC
Lsu - Win out and you're in. They just have to beat Arkansas next week. They'll cruise throught the SEC East.

Alabama - needs Oregon to struggle and dominating wins in their last couple games. I'm talking 30pt romps! It's going to be difficult, the SEC haters will do anything to prevent an all SEC championship.

Arkansas - They need to beat LSU next week. Not an easy task. If that happens we'll have a mess in the SEC West. Who ever comes out of the West and wins the SEC championship will be in the BCS Championship against Oregon.

SES East teams - not worth discussing. Any team from there will lose to any of the three teams mentioned above in the second championship. Watch out for Florida next year though.

Big 12
2 team race

Oklahoma - Terrible loss to Texas Tech cost them big. They need to destroy OK St next week and win the big 12 championship. Even with that they'll need a lot of help

Oklahoma St - Chances are done even if they win out. Lost to a terrible team late in the year.

Pac 12
Oregon - if they win out big they're in. If they lose or play a close game alabama could get the spot if they dominate.

Stanford - Finally everyone sees that they were overrated all year. They're finished, no chance unless all other teams mentioned get a second loss.

ACC

A team from the ACC really needed an undefeated season to make a serious claim.

Clemson - They need to win out and destroy everyone they play. They also need other teams to struggle and a couple to lose.

Virginia Tech - Need to win out, destroy Clemson on the ACC Championship and a lot of help from other teams. Not gonna happen.

Big 10

No team from here has a chance at the Championship.

Big East

No team from here has a chance at the Championship.

Locks Of The Weekend

Get paid and laid!!!!

Nebraska

Michigan -3.5

Michigan isn’t back at full force yet after the Rich Rod mess. They’ll drop this at home.

Penn St

Ohio St -6.5

I would hammer Ohio State. Penn State is going be in shock and get destroyed. They're going to be heckled so hard at OSU. These kids aren’t ready to fight without Joe. They were decent last week when they were at home with the support of senior day. They may lose the rest of their road games this year.

BC

ND -24.4

Take BC, they always play ND well and this spread is too big. ND doesn't want to play them anymore, but can't get out of the contract.

Tebow Does It Again

I don't know what else can be said after Tebow beat the Jets last night. He drove them 95 yards for a TD, accounting for 92 himself.

Oscar De La Hoya Smashed With A Suit?????

So this is what it's come to? Oscar is being sued by some chick who's saying he held her against her will or some garbage. I may be wrong, but this chick looks an awful lot like a pro to me and I don't mean professional boxer.

So Oscar met this chick on her "modeling" site and invited her to dinner then up to his place. If smells like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's usually a hooker Right there she should have stopped it if she wasn't down for action. This girl isn't 12, she knows what the deal is. I know that no one deserves to be attached and that women have the right to say no, but don't put yourself in these situations and this stuff won't go down. Total BS lawsuit. I hope Oscar mops the floor with her.

The cross dressing thing is weird. Don't really get it. This guy was my favorite boxer for a long time. He'll fight the best even if he may lose and he often did. He went and fought though and usually in their weight classes. He didn't duck anyone and legitimized a lot of careers. The cross dressing thing will be blown away soon enough just like this ho.

Packers Could Go Undefeated

The Packers destroyed the Viking last night. I could lie and say I watched the entire game, but I didn't. You knew who was going to win after the first quarter. Aaron Rodgers is the best QB in the game. Brett at his peak wasn't this good. He wasn't even close actually. In celebration of this Brett and the Vikings can bend over and take it.

Bye Bye Boise State

Thank God we don't have to listen to the Boise State national championship nonsense again. They can't even win out in the garbage division they play in, how are they going to beat the big boys in the SEC, Big 12 and Big 10? Answer: They wouldn't! If they played in the SEC they'd have 3 losses every year and would be an after thought.

I'm looking for a LSU vs OK St National Championship game if OkState can take Oklahoma. If not Alabama is back in I think.

Sloppy Joe

So Joe was fired on Thursday. I don't know what took Penn State so long. He had to go! Now the rebuilding begins. They need to clean house. Get rid of almost everyone involved with football and of course everyone that had even an inkling that this was going on and did nothing. How did all these people do nothing?! It really boggles the mind. I know college football isn't the most ethical thing going, but come on! You see a 10 year old getting raped, YOU STOP IT! This shouldn't be an ethical debate.

It's too bad a couple thousand students are making all of the student body see like morons. It's like politics, the dumber you are the louder you yell and hope no one notices you're not making any sense.

Cards Win World Series, Chris Carpenter In My Hero

I called this game yesterday afternoon. Told my buddies to cash in on this one. Chris Carpenter is money. He's not losing this game 7 at home. Josh Hamilton looks like he's shooting up again, pale and out of it. I wouldn't be surprised if he's off the wagon. I took down some cash on this. I dont bet that often, but when I do I'm spot on.

Facebook madness

So this is the kind of madness I'm getting on facebook. Chick straight up propositions me. Of course I declined, but this shit is wild. had to share it. By the way this chick is a smoke show. I've known her for a while, but not in this way

Labor Day Weekend

So this was a hell of a Labor Day weekend. We were supposed to hit Tashua, but canceled that to chill by my buddies pool. I can gold for another 2 months, but there aren't many days left to hit the pool and get some sun.

Saturday started on out buddy tweaks boat. That actually isnt the boat, but I forgot the take a pic of his. We killed a 30 and hung out. Of course we tubed after killing the 30. Rocked that for a while. Sore as hell, gettin old.

Saturday Night. I don't think I need to say anything else

Sunday was spent at Digitals pool. Not too shabby. Countless pina coladas later I went limp. No pictures. Was way too done

Irene Hits CT

So I hope no one had any plans to play the Country Club of Fairfield for a little bit because Hurricane Irene has basically shut it down for the rest of the year. From the pictures I've seen there's not way it can be playable again this year. That's what happens when you build a golf course on a freaking beach. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that anyone reading this can't afford to play there anyway.

One Less Tooth

I haven't been playing very much. Had a hell of a couple weeks. Dead ass broke and lost a tooth. Picture below. man o man. When you have a fay 40 year old dude in your mouth with a chisel it makes you rethink your life. I hope this blog hits it big cause I'm all outta ideas!!!!

Sunday At Yankee Stadium

This post has nothing to do with golf but it's a baller story none the less so I'm throwing it up here.

I'm hanging out in CT last weekend. I went there to drop some stuff off at my sisters place. I'm waking up on Sunday morning when I get a call from the ConMan. Our boy got 2nd row tickets for the yankee game from some money manager and I'm getting the nod. It's 11:30 at this point and the game starts at 1. I'm recovering from a monster night and hop in the shower immediately and sprint to the train. I of course have to stop at my apt in NYC to drop off my bag because The Stadium won't let guys with bags in. F'n terrorists!!! So I pund 4 beers on the 80 minute train ride and I'm feeling pretty primed for the game.

I get to the stadium around 1:30 and have to hit some lobby to pick up the tickets. Of course the tickets are under a different name then what I was told. The Armenian is as stupid as they come.. wrong, wrong wrong. I get them from the woman at the desk who barely speaks english. what I'm unaware of at the time is that she scans the ticket as she gives it to me then directs me to go outside and around. Once you leave you can't get back in!!!

I go to the gate I was directed to and they say the ticket has been used. I chill for a minute thinking maybe a buddy printed me the wrong ticket. I call them and nope. So i put my head down and bulldoze the guy at the gate. I tell him he's wrong I just got it, that I'm calling the owner who pays over 6 figures for these tickets. He lets me in.

Game was sick, pics of the seats below. Kim Jones I love you. You may be able to hear me proposing to her while she interviewed CC.

Marry me Kim Jones!!!

Tashua on July 4th Weekend!

We got a tee time at 12:50 on Saturday the 2nd. Absolutely perfect day for golf. Was sunny, but a little cloudy and in the mid 80's. No pictures. Check out my last post for some

I played with Cheese Steak, Digital and Pac-man. Pac-man and I shared a cart and killed it. we had to scramble a bit the get there on time, even though it was after 12. Stuff happens when you rock hard the night before. Thankfully for the other chumps I bought a 24 pack of balls so they were able to scam mine. The Nike SFT's are underrated and inexpensive. http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4002621&cid=CSE:GoogleProductSearch

We rolled in there with a couple coolers packed. We had to skip the 20 oz cocktail this time because we were all pretty well stocked. Digital and cheese steak brought there own coolers and I packed my bag with brews and freezer packs so I rocked the entire time.

The course was in great shape. I don't know if you remember me saying something about the conditions earlier in the year. The front 9 wasn't good earlier, but now it's as nice as the back 9. I should have taken more pics. Fail on my part.

Drive was on point. We were playing best ball, Digital and I vs the others. Digital played like crap and the handicaps were off so it was difficult for me to take a hole. After 12 hold Digital and I were down 5. We pressed and went up 2 holes going into the 18th. Cheese Steak hogpressed and somehow they took us down.

The Allentown Disaster

So I'm somewhat recovered from the trip so I'm going to give this a shot. I'll probably have to reread and do some edits tomorrow, but let's get the show on the road.

It started off as any regular Saturday. I ran out of work around 4:30 to my buddies and waited for Digital to pick us up. Surprise! Getting out on NYC on Friday around 5 is an absolute nightmare!!!!

And the nightmare begins. So we get straight downpours this evenin

g and Digital gets stuck on 95 around Stamford for an hour. During this time Little Armenia and I are drinking Coronas and chilling. Digital rolls in around 6 to pick us up stressed as hell from stop and go traffic all the way. We load our stuff up and hit the road. We head out and get stuck in terrible traffic trying to get through the Holland Tunnel. Nothing funny about this, just sat there for an hour. Digital grabbed some street meat while we wer

e sitting there.

We end up getting into Allentown around 1o, unpack out stuff and hit the Sands Casino in Leigh Valley. Casino was good, everyone tied it on and lost a little cash. Craps is a bitch, but I love her. We get escorted out of the casino by security an

d head back to Cheese Steaks jaunted mansion. Digital goes limp hard (picture in Go Limp).

We hit Center Valley Club on Saturday afternoon. http://www.centervalleyclubgolf.com/

Here's some cheesedick we saw on the way to the course in a Mazda Miata rocking to popped collars and hair plugs.

Little Armenia A.K.A. The Armenian Meatstick goes limp on the 14th tee box, but somehow still shoots a 77. Freaking amazing!

The Meatstick hits out of the water on 15.

http://www.centervalleyclubgolf.com/golf/course-map

We actually had an amazing round. I shot my best score ever by 12 strokes and also had about 12 cocktails on the course. We completely dominated it.

We had later tee times so we were able to play for $40. The course was a little beat up a day of playing, but was still nice. We saved $40 each so it was well worth the wait. This is one of my favorite courses that I play. The front 9 is very different then the back 9 and it's not too challenging. If you can drive decently you can dominate the course. The greens were hilly, but not too fast so we could really take advantage of the place. Best deal is to buy the cooler and fill it there. I think it was $19 or something. The cart lady is a bit old, like 60 or so. I know she needs to earn, but come on.

I would recommend this course to anyone. It's a nice course and they leave you along and let you get after it out there.

That's about all I can remember to be honest. I'll have to think and write more later. Jeez I'm terrible at this

We were supposed to play on Sunday but got too banged up to make our 11 o'clock tee time. What a mess!!!!

PA Trip

We're almost out of here! I'm being scooped up by Digital at 4 and we'll start a drive down to Allentown. I think the Albanian Meatstick is rolling with us as well so we got 3 big dudes jammed into a 2011 A4. Should be nice and tight. Oh and I can't forgte the cooler that will be in the back seat to beat on.

We're playing Center Valley Club on Saturday. The place is probably the nicest course I've ever played. www.centervalleyclubgolf.com

I'll let you know all the antics of the weekend. I think we're getting a party bus for tonight to make sure no one missed their tee time because they're stuck in jail.

OUT!!!

Allentown Trip

The life wrecks and I are getting out of our safety zone and taking the show on the road. We'll be hitting up Allentown PA this weekend and staying in Mikey Cheese steak's haunted mansion. Chick died there a couple months ago (of old age or something). Should be a hell of a time. We're hitting a couple courses and the Sand in Leigh Valley.

Lots to report I hope

Tashua Knolls Late Sunday Special - Home of the 20oz Cocktail

It started out like any other Sunday after tying one on. The guys and I hit the Duck in Westport for some stiff drinks and to catch up with a buddy. After about an hour of listening to assenine antics stuff got pretty boring so we decided to hit up the back 9 at Tahsua. They run a Sunday special, I think it's $20 for the back 9 after 4 pm or something like that. The back 9 here is considerably better then the front 9 so I don't really know what they're thinking there.

You gotta hit up the 20 oz cocktail. shit's legit and gets the round going right.

We're getting ready in the parking lot before the round. The back nine gets pretty rowdy. We stocked our bags, but the guys in front of us put a 30 pack in their bags. That must have been one intense 9.

View from the Tee box on 11. Hard dog leg left. Usually I end up taking my second shot from around the tree on the hill. Not a hard one.

Here's the view from the 14th tee box. Best hole on the course by far, but a difficult one. Bob rocked his drive, then hit his second shot off of the shed and pulled out a par somehow. Oh to have that up and down game.

I ended up with a cocksucking 8.

This is the view on 15. Not as nice.

Was an awesome round. I was 8 over on the two par 3's. fantastic. I'm glad I continue to pay to play this game.

Scores for the back 9

Bob- 38 strokes

Dave - 57 strokes

Conor - 50 strokes

Hit Pepe's up in Ffld and got after it with some pizza. Ran into a trash bag waitress that we used to know. She's terrible, but has awesome tits. I told her that she needs to wear a tighter shirt to get a good tip and we basically berated her for an hour then left. Of course she wanted to hang with the Conman, but he doesn't go that shit.

Got back to NYC at 12:30 AM and had to work the next day. Fun Monday, Fun Monday.....

Life Wrecks

Hit our favorite terrible bar and terrorized it.

The wheel is still a hole

Played the Wheel early in the year and it showed. Was probably way too cold to play, but we still got out there and gave it a whirl. Played like shit, but it was the first round of the year.

The front 9 are absolutely terrible. I can grow better grass on my roof. The back 9 were pretty legit though. Just play the back 9 until they fix it up.

Richter Park debockle

Let me start by saying the front 9 at Richter are amazing. You're hitting over water multiple times and the fairways and greens are immaculate. I did lose about 15 balls playing here though, but it was worth it. I was able to hit it in May so it was only $53 per person. The back 9 are nice, but it's difficult to compare to the front 9.

Cart girl isn;t too bad, but says snotty remarks about bringing your own beer on the course. I circumvented that by bringing a bottle of Smirnoff and buying multiple power aids from her sweet little ass. Pounding a bunch of those surprisingly doesn't make anyones game better.

Seriously though the course is mint! All the blind fairway shots eat balls. We were right on some dudes asses the entire time and had a group right on our heels.
