Seedy K’s Preseason Pigskin Preamble: Brohm Talk

Football, ,

We are four weeks out from the first edition of the highly heralded Pigskin Prognostications in advance of Week 0’s battles.

To get you in the habit of tuning in each Wednesday afternoon of the football season, I’ll be posting football stuff here in this time slot during a run up to the campaign.

Louisville Football Media Day is tomorrow.

Coach Jeff Brohm and some selected players shall be available.

Vegas’s odds on favorites to appear are Lincoln Kienholz and Clev Lubin*.

* The must have returnee DL (8.5 sacks) is on the Nagurski Watch List.

A previous commitment prevents me from attending. Though I’ll be checking out the tapes, and report any breaking news of import you might miss in news reports from others.*

*There won’t be any.

However, since you are wearying of summer, tired of buying school supplies, not interested in the post World Cup travails of FIFA dictator Gianni Infantino, you must be chomping at the bit for any pigskin prattle.

Who’s here for you? Continue reading Seedy K’s Preseason Pigskin Preamble: Brohm Talk →

U of L CardFile: Stanford

Football, ,

In moments like this, Denny Crum had a go to line.

“We didn’t have a healthy respect for our opponent.”

The University of Louisville Cardinals obviously did not for the Stanford Cardinal.

Singular 38, Plural 35.

More often than not, you get what you deserve.

Like Saturday afternoon in Silicon Valley.

Stanford persevered. They deserved to win.

Louisville did not. And didn’t.

When considering why games are won and lost, a factor always to be considered is statistical disparity. On occasion they are dispositive of the outcome. Continue reading U of L CardFile: Stanford →

Seedy K’s Peerless Pigskin Prognostications: Week XI

Football, Gaming, , ,

There are at least a couple of regular readers for whom it would appear they seem to derive their whole sense of well being from my weekly follies here at Prediction Central. They are ever quick to point out my miscues, and draw great delight from same.

When I suffered four losing weekends in a row — Weeks III-VI — they were full with a deluded sense that all was right in the world. When I picked a bunch of locks to go 5-0 in Week  VII, they scoffed.

After the following consecutive 3-2 weeks, they smirked warily.

And, after last weekend, another perfecto for yours truly, they . . . well . . . they . . . let’s just say, to coin a cliché,  the silence is deafening.

For the stat geeks amongst ya, I’m 16-4 over the last four weeks, now 30-20 on the campaign.

Yo, dudes, ye who would be quick to naysay, uh, where are you? How about some well deserved propers? Some R E S P E C T.

Not that I mean to trumpet my own triumphs or anything like that.

Anyhow, the season is entering the home stretch. Those last two spots in the CFP remain somewhat up for grabs. Bowl eligibility is the target for many. And U of L Cardinal fans are checking fifteen times a day for that Tyra Tweet, advising a change is gonna come.

Confidence restored, my prognosticatorial legerdemain patently evident once again, I provide this week’s winners: Continue reading Seedy K’s Peerless Pigskin Prognostications: Week XI →

Seedy K’s Peerless Pigskin Prognostications: Week I

Football, Gaming, , , ,

Thanks to the divine, full spectrum guidance of patron saint ROY G BIV, the Rainbow Warriors of Hawaii secured a waning moments W at UMass. Thus making for as satsifying a return trip to Diamond Head as there can be stuck in coach on a plane for 5100 miles.

Not to mention the victory secured as peerless an opening foray as yours truly could have hoped for. Along with wins by the Cougars, Bulls, Rams and The Cardinal, the kid started the season 5-0, prediction wise.

While I would like to boast ad nauseum, to be honest, last week’s meager slate of battles was hardly what could be termed a severe test of prognosticatory prowess.

A boffo schedule this coming weekend provides a legitimate chance to yet again prove my mettle. Thus I shall cut short the verbosity, and get right to it.

This week’s winners in five huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge games: Continue reading Seedy K’s Peerless Pigskin Prognostications: Week I →
