Lets see. The current secretary of the treasury is a former CEO of Goldman Sachs. Therefore it makes perfect sense that he wait to announce the all time biggest public bailout of an industry until after one of Goldman's rivals declares bankruptcy. Yep, perfect sense. Lets disrupt the lives of 25,000 people so they can have their lives thrown into uncertainty. Next, lets go ahead and bailout every other bad betting financial firm in this current credit crisis but totally ignore the disruption that you caused for those employed in some form or fashion by Lehman Brothers.
What happened to free markets in this country? And if you are going to bailout this industry, why do pick and choose who lives or dies? Lets save Bear Stearns, AIG, Fannie Mae, but leave Lehman to die on the vine. I would really like to know the rational behind this. Somehow I think Secretary Paulson's buddies at Goldman had it out for Lehman. This is his way of hooking them up. Preciate cha Mr. Secretary!

Week 4 Picks
John Baucum has the preview of the UMASS game.
UMASS +56 at Texas Tech
I think with the new clock rules and several starters out of this game that Tech will not cover the spread against UMASS. There are 2 weeks to get ready for the start of Big 12 play, so a lot of players will get some rest this week. Leach may play Harrell and Crabtree a lot as he is not happy with the QBs and WRs so far this season. I will take UMASS to cover 56-10.
Miami -3 at Texas A&M
A&M still doesn't know who will start at QB for them this week. They should be smart and start Jerrod Johnson as he is their future. This should be a boring game as both teams are not good offensively. I do think A&M will win straight up 13-10.
Rice +29.5 at Texas
Texas should have no trouble this week against Rice. So far the only team I seem to pick well this season so far. Texas 50-17.
Season 2-5 (.286)

Week 3 picks
I am going out on a limb and saying that Texas Tech is the only team playing this weekend:
SMU +38 at Tech
June Jones was an excellent hire for the Mustangs and eventually he will do great things for the program. He is biting the bullet and going with a true freshman starting at QB this year over 2 year starter Justin Willis. Long term this will really pay off for him.
Graham Harrell has had 2 sub-par games so far. Michael Crabtree had a great game against Nevada highlighted by an 82 yard catch and run for a touchdown. They will hook up a lot as Tech will cover the spread 65-21.
Season 2-4 (.333)

re: week 2 picks
Wow, I am on a roll. Texas covering was my only correct pick this week.
1-2 for the week
2-4 for the season.
1-2 for the week
2-4 for the season.
