Alright, Food Pick 'Em is gonna be a long one.


Connecticut vs Marshall: I like apizza and grinders, and WV has, what, beans and cornbread?

Pick: Go Huskies.

Miami vs Washington State: Cubanos kick the poo poo out of anything from Washington.

Pick: Go Hurricanes.

Indiana vs Duke: Pork tenderloin sandwiches vs vinegar-based pork barbecue. It's a close one.

Pick: Will probably start another BBQ argument, but go Duke.

Tulsa vs V-Tech:

Oklahoma BBQ was put on this earth by a kind and loving god. It's the best parts of all other BBQs.

Pick: Tulsa

UCLA vs Nebraska:

The gently caress does Nebraska even have except corn? Call me when you upgrade to corn tacos.

Pick: UCLA

If you're not willing to lick the boot, then really why are you in politics lol? Everything is a cycle of just getting stomped on so why do you want to lose to it over and over, just submit like me, I'm very intelligent.
Let me tell you how important this win is for UConn: throughout the past 5 years, I have anticipated 0-12 every single year. Despite the fact that they inexplicably push out NFL talent, they were occasionally blown out by FCS teams. This season has blown any expectations out of the water. If we win here, it will establish UConn firmly again as the mediocre team that they were born to be.

Beans and cornbread is pretty good if done right. Also I'm unaware of any particular connection between that dish and WV. And

Pork tenderloin's are delicious but not at all BBQ so there's no BBQ argument to be had.

And don't you live in freaking Scotland? Are you imagining what these things taste like?

I know what vinegar-vased BBQ or pork tenderloin tastes like. It's hardly some super-rare delicacy.

I meant the BBQ argument being started because everyone loves different kinds of BBQ.

I'm not sure if leading FBS in passes defended is more indicative of a good pass defense or a bad one that teams keep throwing against.

You played Baylor 5 years ago so one of those seasons should've at least been an anticipated 1-11.

Under West Virginia state code §20-2-4 it is legal to take home and eat roadkill.[56] Jeff Eberbaugh's Gourmet Style Road Kill Cooking was a runaway success in West Virginia when it was published in 1991.[57] The town of Marlinton, West Virginia holds a road-kill cook-off each fall during the last Saturday of September, which attracts thousands of visitors each year.[58] The festival features dishes such as pothole possum stew, fricasseed wabbit gumbo, teriyaki marinated bear, and deer sausage.[59] While the food at this festival doesn't actually involve real roadkill, the dishes are prepared with the kinds of animals that are commonly knocked down by cars.

Thank God that Doc Holliday spotted UConn 4 points. I don't know if the Huskies could recover from being down 2 possessions.

Maybe that's why he's still at Marshall?

Why is Doc Holliday overthinking things by throwing it with Birdsong?

If anything, Holliday should just leave Litton in. The running backs aren't having too much issue, so it's not like you need Birdsong to get the running game going.
