-Why is a Turnover-on-Downs not considered a "Turnover" in a team's box score?  For example, I was at the Clemson game against Georgia Tech this weekend and on GT's first possession, the Jackets went for it on 4th-and-1 and failed to convert and when that exact situation happens, it is referred to as a "Turnover-on-Downs".  However, if you look at the box score from that game, you will see that they credited GT with only one turnover which was the result of a fumble in the 3rd Quarter.  So, I ask again, why is it called a Turnover-on-Downs if it doesn't actually count as a "Turnover"?  That makes no sense.

-I finally had a good week with my picks last week and finished 5-1.  And do you know who ruined my perfect week?  If you said the Gaycocks (misspelled on purpose), then you are correct.  As a Clemson alum and rabid fan, I just knew those jerks down in Columbia would find a way to ruin my perfect weekend and they did it spectacular fashion by wiping the floor with the Georgia Bulldogs.  Well, no worries, between Alex's NFL Picks and my College Picks, we finished a combined 8-2 and the momentum is gaining and I have a good feeling I will go undefeated the rest of the season or your money back.

(At first, I wasn't going to do a Funniest GameDay Sign for this week b/c Gamecock fans are illiterate idiots, but then I saw this gem and had to give those idiots some credit.)

Last Week's Results: 5-1
Season Results: 19-18
