-A buddy of mine asked me this summer what record Clemson could finish with and I would be happy.  My response was 1-11, as long as that one win was against those dirty South Carolina Gamecocks.  Then I got to thinking about it and realized that that response was not only the funny answer but also true.  Just imagine if your favorite team was winless going into the last game against your arch-rival and your team won.  You could hold that win over their heads for years.  They would say "Your team sucks, they only won one game" and you can always respond with "Yeah, but who did they beat, sucka!".  Sure, it would suck to have such a shitty record, but hilarious that you won the one game that truly matters.

-How many bandwagon SEC fans do you think know what SEC stands for?

-When I heard that Brent Musburger was going to announce games for the SEC Network, I was fairly curious to see who they would pick to be his color analyst.  So, I tuned into the Texas A&M v. South Carolina game to find out and then heard the worst choice possible.  Jesse Palmer.  I can't stand that guy.  I know I've expressed my dislike for him on multiple occasions in last year's WPOTW, but seriously, this is an insult to college football.  That guy is a blowhard and seems to speak just to hear the sound of his own voice.  He adds nothing to the game but false or blatantly obvious statements.  As fellow Brainfart contributor Alex, a Georgia Tech grad but childhood South Carolina fan, texted me during the game "There's nothing worse than losing and having to listen to Jesse Palmer".  And to top it off, he has grown the douchiest beard possible.  Epic fail, SEC Network.

-As for my picks last week, I finished above .500 and would have done better had I not switched the FSU pick at the last second.  Oh well.  In any case, I guarantee a winning week this week or your money back.

-Last Week's Funniest College GameDay Sign:

(If you don't get this, Google "Jameis Winston Crab Legs" and then you will laugh, too.)

-Alright, enjoy the second week of college football.
