Prop Bets for the College Football Junkie is a weekly post that cares not for your silly point spreads. If you have the money and the gumption, we'll lay down a weekly gauntlet of propositions that'll take you from the penthouse to the outhouse faster than you can guess the number of times Lee Corso will say "not so fast my friend." As always, this is for entertainment purposes only.
-Mark Mangino and Kansas play this Friday night at South Florida, and it is going to be hot and humid. Like 93 degrees and 100% humidity. I know it gets hot in Kansas, but the humidity can't be anywhere close. So naturally, we're putting the over/under on the number of pounds Mangino will lose from the opening kickoff to the last gun at 20lbs.
-Shots of Beanie Wells foot in pregame +/-5 just seems too easy and really not all that much fun. But the over/under on the number of references to the Pac 10 teleconference this week during the USC-Ohio State game at +/-3 could be entertaining, and a straight up yes/no on if the announcers will reference the part about condoms is one we can only hope for.
-The game this week between Michigan and Notre Dame isn't exactly living up to the history of this rivalry. The two teams combined to score 37 points against.....well.....no one really. So we put the over/under at 20 for the number of closeups of Weis/Rodriguez blowing up after a bonehead mistake on offense.
-When California visits Maryland this weekend, it's going to be put up or shut up time for the Terrapins. If a blow out loss is in the cards for Maryland, and given their output the first two weeks..., It could be hot seat time for Ralph Friedgen. Given that, we put the over/under on the number of fire trucks leaving the field as California arrives at 8. Desperate times call for desperate measures, people.
Quick Hitters:
-Percent of America that fully expects Bill Stewart to call in to Dr. Lou this weekend +/- 95%.
-Percent of America that fully expect the pep talk to come back before the leaves turn +/-99%.
-Percent of Arkansas State fans with new Red Wolves gear on for the game against Southern Miss +/- 99%.
-Number of times this video will be played next week if Tommy Tuberville gets Croomed again +/- 50,000.
