Well, last week wasn’t exactly a banner round in the prognostication arts here at The Manofesto. I went 2-5, while Zach was 1-6. The point spread really bit us in the behind, with neither Penn St. nor Nebraska being able to cover the points despite winning their games, and Miami (FL) & Michigan living up… Read More 2013 Pigskin Picks of Profundity…..Week 10
Citizens of The Manoverse may have noticed that there were no picks last week. Your humble Potentate of Profundity ran into some computer issues at home, and my backup plan fell thru as well, so I decided to take it as a bye week. However, Zach had already emailed me his picks and he went… Read More 2013 Pigskin Picks of Profundity…..Week 8 (Kind Of)
It’s been an odd & stressful week in The Manoverse. I’ll spare you the details, but the fact that I am just finally getting around to doing this week’s PPP a few short hours before kickoff tells the story to an extent. Thank goodness we didn’t pick any Thursday or Friday games this week and… Read More 2013 Pigskin Picks of Profundity…..Week 7

But now we are back on track. Right now I am 26-43 and have… Read More 2012 Pigskin Picks of Profundity…..Week 10
The less said about last week the better. I went 1-6, with my only “win” a Pyrrhic victory at best (Philly beat Baltimore by 1 point, not covering the 2 point spread and making my choice of the Ravens technically correct). So, in classic mid-life crisis fashion I have decided to overcompensate. My record… Read More 2012 Pigskin Picks of Profundity…..Week 4
We’re in the midst of both the college & pro football season, but there are still a couple other things to talk about. When did The MAC become such an entertaining football conference?? Seemingly every Tuesday and Wednesday night these belittled teams with nothing to play for except a December bowl game in… Read More Winning & Musing…..Volume 9.11
As 95 degree temperatures fade away and one can smell autumn in the air, it is time to get jacked up for my favorite season of the year…football season. We begin first with college, the ostensible domain of amateur student athletes (except for those playing in Columbus and Coral Gables). 1 Stanford I realize… Read More 2011 Pre-Season College Football Top 25
