-ESPN paid the SEC a lot of money to broadcast SEC football games and because they paid the SEC so much money, they feel obligated to put those games on in primetime.  However, I don't think ESPN is getting their monies worth, look at this week's slate:

South Carolina @ Kentucky 7:00 ESPN2
Towson @ LSU 7:00 ESPNU
Ole Miss @ Alabama 9:15 ESPN

Yeah, two of those games involve teams favored by more than 3 touchdowns and the other one has a Division I-A opponent.  Why in the hell are those games considered primetime worthy?  They're not and that's just another reason to hate the SEC.  You're welcome.

-Did anybody watch the Miami/Georgia Tech game?  Or better yet, did anybody bet on the Miami/Georgia Tech game?  If you did, what a roller coaster   The line was GT by 14.5 and I picked GT to cover and after the first quarter, I couldn't have been more wrong.  Miami got out to a quick 19-0 lead, but then squandered it when GT scored 36 straight points and it looked like I was going to get that pick correct.  That was when Miami scored the final 23 points and won in overtime.  What a crazy game.  I was mad, then happy, then pissed again.  In any case, I finished the week 3-3 and can't quite crack .500 on the season.  But don't worry, I'm going to take what I learned last week and turn it into a winning week or your money back.
