NC State over Maryland - I despise Maryland because of finau twisting vedrals leg, because their player was disrespectful to us in an interview, because their uniforms are hideous, because of the underarmour guy and because they have been better than us. There are a lot more reasons. Don’t get me wrong I don’t like nc state either. This goes back to david Thompson beating ucla but more importantly the goofy thing with the hand they do annoys me. Furthermore their fans have a weird nerdy in state pride I find very annoying. Lastly they are better than us and getting to their level would be a nice step. That said maryland by a mile. Go pack!
UCLA over PITT. I actually don’t mind PITT or their fans. I respect narduzzi and his program. I had no feelings whatsoever around ucla football until chip Kelly. I despise chip Kelly. (Yes mainly jealousy). That said this one’s easy because Pitt sucking is more important than any hate for Kelly so go bruins here.
USCe over ND. This one is obvious. It doesn’t really matter who the opponent is. I hate ND with a passion. Over rated with a soft schedule but the main reason is a detestable fan base and an unbelievable history so plenty of longstanding feelings of jealousy there. I could go on but suffice to say every bad thing that could happen to a team in a football game (outside of injury) I want to see happen to ND today. Finally it’s fun to say- Go cocks!
Tenn over Clemson - This one is difficult in many ways but ultimately an easy call. I hate both teams. Their fans are all arrogant. Their colors suck. They both have great histories to revile. Dabo annoys the hell out of me but I guess the main issue I have here is Clemson plays a soft as shit acc schedule so when they are good they really don’t go through a meatgrinder like other schools so in my view they have an unfair advantage. Plus they are an espn darling and I hate espn. I have to say - go Vols here.
Have a great day everyone!
