2015 BC Gonzo Pix of the Week: Week 2



BC Gonzo Pix of the Week
Week 2 aka “Weak of Ass Games”

Over the years, I’ve made a habit a whipping Vegas in Week 1, and last’s week’s 6-1 ATS mark was business as usual. Now if I could just whip that Gasoline-sniffing problem... But we’ll get into that later… Outside of the Ducks and M$U, this Saturday gives a weak crop of games at best (don’t try to convince me Smug Stoops vs. Cliché-riddled Butch Jones is marquee), but there’s winners hidden in the usual Week 2 lineup of Ass Games.  I do hope you enjoy your winnings, but don’t blow it all at an Asian Massage Parlor.  Let’s Get Down to Business…

   Arkansas: It's a Natural State...



5 Star Platinum Pick



S. Carolina – 7.5 vs. Kentucky: Sadly, the Ole Ball Sack longingly yearns for the daze when he was throwing his bourbon/spooge stained visor at a coked-up Stephen Garcia. Now, he settles for an endless supply of QBs named “Connor” every year.  At least he can still get his kicks in against SEC (L)East opponents before the whole shithouse goes up in flames. 



5 Star Picks



Iowa -3.5 @ Iowa St: In Field of Dreams, the creepy racist ghost asked if Iowa was "heaven".  No, but it is akin to smoking turds in purgatory.  Still, the corn-fed folks in this sleepy state wait year round for this pillow fight (aka, White Boy Day). This year, Captain Kirk justifies his undeserved salary by kicking the Tornadoes in the nuts.  Seneca Wallace must be rollin’ over in his grave…    

Arkansas -21 vs. Toledo: Bert Bielema has been a Natural (un)Fit in the Natural State. To wit – he has 4 chins; he has a wife of very loose morals; and when he speaks, he sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles.  Nonetheless, he has the Pig faithful ecstatic with 2 SEC wins in 2 years and will continue his moderate success with a romp over the Pocket Rockets. “Looks like we got us a Sow”…   

4 Star Picks

Fresno St +30 Ole Piss: Hugh “Mr.” Freeze (aka, The Human Rake) and his hired mercenaries have racist Reb phans as pumped as they’ve been since fondly recalling the good ole daze of Segregation.  However, the grape chugging Cali boyz from the Valley will keep this game somewhat close as the Black Bears are already thinking about next week and Big Bad Bama…

Georgia -20.5 vs. Vandy: Speaking of unrealistic, virulent, intolerable, insufferable fan bases, UGA folks think this is finally The Year – for the 37 consecutive time… Derek Mason might be the worst SEC coach since a certain combed-over dolt romped the sidelines in Tuscaloosa in 2000, and this will be a laugher by half time.  Afterwards, grown men across the Peach State bark like inbred dogs until the dawn…  

3 Star Picks (shits and giggles picks)

Marshall -3 @ Ohio: Last week, Doc Holliday became every degenerate gambler’s “Huckleberry” with a backdoor pick six with under a minute to go to snuff out San Berdoo.  This week will prove to be much easier, as BobCock coach Frank “Steke Stife” Solich-Kearney is distracted while undergoing counseling after getting popped for a 2nd DUI and stealing the hearse during his brother in law’s funeral in Lima.   

Boise St -2.5 @ BYU:  2 burning questions – 1) can the Cougs avoid a letdown after last week’s miracle in the Corn? and 2) Did Jebus really come down from the sky wearing a seer sucker suit in the U.S. and convince Joseph Smith to start a religion where you could bang 8 chicks at once but not have caffeine. Um, no….  Buckin’ Broncos bring the Mormons back down to earth.

Ok For Now…..

The Fixer's Week 2 Prognostications...


WEEK TWO


MIZZOU -11 @ Arkansas St- This is some tough love being given to his players by local swervedriver Gary Pinkel. You wanna drive drunk like him or slap around a coed(not like him)? Then you’ll end up having to leave Columbia and, if yer lucky, play in Jonesboro, the bowels of not only college football, but the nation… All you need to know: Ron White has a weekly standup show there...

MARSHALL -3 @ Ohio U- I can hear the announcer now: “Only 80 miles separates these two schools…” Blah blah blah…

SOUTH CAROLINA -7 vs Kentucky- UK phans are fired up about football, just like I’m fired up about the Small Wonder marathon on TV Land this weekend… But I’m sure they’re not parked in front of their TVs in their underwear with a big bag of Cheetos…

ARIZONA -11½ @ Nevada- The last time I was in Reno, myself & my compadres were “asked” to leave a blackjack table after it was discovered that I was counting cards… at another table… and they were Uno cards that a 4yr old was tossing around… and how did that kid get into the casino? It was a midget…

OREGON ST +16½ @ Michigan- We played a drinking game during Utah’s game last week. Every time they spoke of or showed UM’s overrated/overhyped/overcovered/over-jacked-off-to coach, you had to drink. So I’ve spent the week attending friends’ funerals…

FRESNO ST +29½ @ Mississippi- Methinks that buck-toothed rube of a coach the Rebs have won’t show much on the field with a trip to Ala-Fucking-Bama looming next week. I swear if one more person mentions that goddamn Sandra Bullock excuse for a movie I will go on a tilling spree. No typo, I’d grab Freeze & use his rake-like mouth to cultivate some crops…

OKLAHOMA -1 @ Tennessee- I called this one a year ago: The Vols will get Hong Kong Stomped in Normal, then about June of 2015, a gradual sucking of UT’s collective dicks would begin, and THIS game would be their “We’re Back” Moment… Here’s something you can write on that rock on campus: “The Fixer Says You Suck & You Just Backed It Up!”

NORTH TEXAS +5 @ SMU- Another year, another spread offensive coordinator man-child gets thrown to the lions. Good thing there aren’t any fuckstick hunters from Minnesota around. The ‘Stangs are far from competitive while Coach Cousin Eddie McCarney keeps Gerald Ford Stadium’s shitters full…

NEW MEXICO -3½ vs Tulsa- Is Bob Davie the only goddamn former Irish coach they AREN’T paying NOT to coach their team anymore?

KANSAS +13½ vs Memphis- The perfect storm: Kansas loses to a 1AA team, gets their mascot shamed by their rival, and is a double digit underdog at home vs a team all the internet buffoon writers are touting.


Selah…


The Fixer's Latest Rant... Week 2: Fuck Fan Duel & Draft Kings & Sportsbars...



I’m having a hard time trying to understand why these sham fantasy sports sites like Draft Kings & Fan Duel are gaining popularity. Then I remember who they are marketing to: Mouth-breathing armchair jabronis who are easily susceptible to these companies’ over marketing and promises of instant wealth. Those commercials with bros wearing backwards hats holding up big checks get more bros fired up and signed up. Draft Kings is spending $24 MILLION on ads this Fall… $24 MILLION. And as I write this, there are far more CFB contests listed than NFL, which is really scary… And Yahoo & other "reputable" sites that normally host your weekly fantasy football leagues, are now getting into the mix... Which can only help the situation, right??? 



I used to go to sports bars on Sundays because my favorite NFL team never played on local television where I lived. And it was a fun time... NOW, every table at Buffalo Wild Wings is jammed with laptops & iPads and all these jersey-wearing doofuses are screaming & high-fiving when Fred Davis catches a 10yd pas on 3rd & 31... And we can all thank Fantasy Football for getting Buffalo Wild Wings to the point where they can sponsor bowl games and serve frozen horse patties disguised as a "Screamin' Nacho Burger"... NOTHING on their menu is remotely edible, not even the bleached carrots that come with their shriveled wings. because they don't have to have decent food, because those numb nuts will eat whatever is slopped down in front of them... And this is what we have become... I can finally see the value in DirecTV's NFL package...

"My chiropractor says watching football like this is bad..."

The state of Alabama is currently trying(miserably) to fix a $300 MILLION budget shortfall, but their solutions thus far are increasing fees & cigarette taxes and not holding corporations accountable for unpaid tax loopholes. They’ve thrown around the idea of lotto & casinos, but those are such 1997 ideas. A recent study shows that illegal sports gambling is a $95 BILLION industry. Another report shows that Colorado averages $15 MILLION in tax revenue PER MONTH from marijuana sales… But Alabama is fucking Alabama so you know what’s gonna happen… JACK SHIT… Wouldn’t Ricky Bobby in Saraland, Alabama rather throw $100 on Alabama to cover 35 this weekend LEGALLY instead of loading $100 into this Fan Duel account and staring at his computer(if he knows how one works) and trying to decide if Matt Ryan will perform better than Eli Manning this week? And he could smoke a joint legally at home, and not go get plowed at Earl's Sports N Stuff then drive home and pass out under his trailer... But I digress...

Hat on backwards= Jabroni

I did some looking around, and found that both of these Daily Fantasy companies are not in good standing with the Better Business Bureau, nor do they follow through on their “Matching Deposit” ads that seem to run on every goddamn channel on television. Yes, they are making TONS of money, but it’s at the expense of a bunch of morons who just recovered from sending their savings to some Nigerian Prince after being told they won some lottery they never entered…

I’m just waiting for one of these sites to sign up a player, then watch all-fucking-Hell break loose. Can you imagine if Bruce Miller became a spokesperson for Fan Duel??? First off, who the fuck is Bruce Miller??? He’s a backup running back for the 49ers who only sees the field on special teams. No big deal… Then imagine if Calvin Johnson was a PAID spokesperson for Draft Kings… Someone at the top of everyone’s player list, someone who can DIRECTLY influence the outcome of games, good or bad… Conflict of interest? Would the “League” be worried about new ties to gambling? Would Fan Duel throw MORE money at advertising to counteract their public outcry? I’d talk about how these same factors are already deeply ingrained in our political system, but I have to finish this piece sometime this year…


So the next time you see one of these ads on your TV, which will be the next time you turn your TV on, or see ads pasted all around your computer screen as you see if anyone’s found out you joined ChicksWithDicks.com, do yourself a favor, go kiss your wife, your girlfriend or your boyfriend, and let them know that you’re better than these bros, or brahs, who obsess about sports and waste money looking for a way to beat a system that’s not beatable…

The Fixer's Week One Prognostications









It’s Labor Day weekend and I’m in midseason form… I spent the Summer traveling across the country & across the pond to the land of olives and grapes. I broke into a bunch of college football stadiums as well as Italian soccer cathedrals(see backgrounds each week, thanks to no one in Tucson who caught me)... Now it's time to get to work.. or play...

I love watching football in the Fall… Other than that, the rest is pure garbage… I don’t update my Heisman Watch List mainly because I don’t have a list like that. I don’t watch Saturday morning Clown Shows who overanalyze every aspect of a game… I don’t care to stalk high school boys on the Internet, begging them on Twitter to pick the school I like best. I don’t go to Spring Games with 60,000 nut jobs and complain that our coaches don’t run good plays. I don’t take off of work on Signing Day and sit in a sports bar with my lap top high-fiving my friends when my school gets a goddamn fax. I don’t read insufferable “journalists” who make “bold predictions” while picking 7 choosing who they think are the best teams, then pulling out their “I Told You So” recycled piece every year when one of their 2,000 predictions actually comes true… 

Where’s the aspirin???


FLORIDA -37 vs New Mexico St- If Global Warming is a hoax, then why are people in Calgary now buying up used jorts from Gator phans? I’ve been to the Swamp in September, and even when UF students piss in cups and dump it onto fans in the lower levels, it’s not refreshing.

OLD DOMINION -4½ @ Eastern Michigan- Are the Hurons still doing that dumb breaking down of a wall bit?

PENN ST -7 @ Temple- The last time the Owls sold out a home game, the year was 2007. Marion Jones was a legitimate Olympian, people were still reading Harry Potter, & Robert Goulet was in the last month of his life… And the team that shit-stomped the Owls that day… Penn St…

ARIZONA ST +3½ vs Texas A&M- One fan base used to be good at building bonfires, the other loves doing keg stands and pissing on fires… That’s about it…

MISSISSIPPI ST -21 @ Southern Miss- What Bulldog fans can look forward to while driving the 3 hours to Hattiesburg: The White Castle Lounge near Macon serves luke-warm Miller Lite & the All-You-Need General Store in Sandersville that still has shared bathrooms for people & cows…

ILLINOIS -14 vs Kent St- No coach, no problem…

LA-LAFAYETTE +17 @ Kentucky- Words of advice to all our Cajun brethren making the trip to Lexington this weekend: Don’t talk basketball with those inbred hillbillies up there, even if you’re as good looking as Clooney, they’ll turn into vampires and come at you like “From Dusk Til Dawn”.


FLORIDA ATLANTIC +7 @ Tulsa- Nothing like being a Golden Shower fan and having this pillow fight as your opener.

2015 BC Gonzo Pix of the Week: Week 1

BC Gonzo Pix of the Week
Week 1 aka “Weak of Tradition of Heritage”

Well…yes…So here I go - Year 12 of the BC Gonzo Pix of the Week.  For those of you that think I’ve gotten lazier over the past few years, you are probably right….I completely whiffed on my deadlines 2 times last year and went AWOL for the bowl season. Such is the product of a being a surly, lazy drunk with a heart filled with hate and too much time on his hands.  However, I can’t hold a candle to today’s unfortunate culture of shitty, Treacherous college football writers (see the Dodds, Wolkens, Hayes, Fordes of the world..), who are more consumed with spewing their high-horsed opinions than providing substance or dealing in facts.  If you see any of these journalists at any of your team’s games (and let's face it, they're pretty easy to spot; they don't stray far from free food, reek of last night’s cheap gin, wear god-awful clothes - particularly the shoes - have horrific hair and that kind of “mug me” look about them), box their ears for me and tell 'em to behave. 

Before we get into our Week 1 treachery, the Atlanta Fixer and I would like to thank our fine sponsors from HandzOff Fast Acting Anti-Masturbatory Gum: “Instant Relief Lasting Up to 6 Hours!” 
 
Let’s Get Down to Business…
 
    It was an eventful off-season for Gonzo and Family...
 
5 Star Platinum Pick

Marshall – 7.5 vs. Purdue: Doc Holliday might not have the charisma of Val Kilmer’s herpes-infested Doc Holliday character in Tombstone, but he has enough Savoir-Faire to convince inner-city kids from S. Florida to come to the Cultural Wonderland that is West Virginia. That and bags of cash... These gang-bangin’ boyz from Huntington will obliterate the Hapless Boilers on Sunday.    

5 Star Picks

UL Lafayette +17 @ Kentucky Cal:  Mark Stoops is the stunted, window-licking brother of the tarded-up Stoops Sibling Trio. Fortunately for him, UK football is a blip on the radar of Wildcat Fandom hobbies – ranking behind the likes of imaginary conversations with a 1995 era Rick Pitino and trying to get a whiff of horribly-aged Ashley Judd’s underarm sweat at Rupp Arena. Gonzo’s Cajuns will keep this one close in the Blue Grass.

BYU +7 @ Nebraska: In Children of the Corn, Isaac informs his flock that He Who Walks Behind The Rows did say, "I will send outlanders amongst you.” I assume he was talking about the Mormons invading Lincoln this weekend. Methinks that Mormons are the only church creepier than Stephen King’s Demon Child Congregation. Don’t be surprised if Bronco’s Boys pull off the upset.  Dave Rimington must be rollin’ over in his steroid-filled grave…  

4 Star Picks
 
Arizona State +3.5 vs. Texas A&M: In Ted 2, the lovable Teddy Bear asks an ASU grad if it’s called “Arizona State or just HPVU”? That was about the only humorous bit in a movie that was overall about as funny as beer diarrhea in a space suit. Speaking of bad smells, the sewer city of Houston will be chocked full of disappointed Aggies after this pseudo-upset.       

Louisville +10.5 vs. Awbern: Labor Day weekend in Atlanta is always a Treacherous Fuck All, what with the annual Dragon Con festival and the Black Homer-Sexual Pride Parade. This year’s influx of AllBarn fans making the short trek from West Georgia will surely make it a Shit Show for the ages. Look for Ricky Bobby and the Cards to keep it close in the Dome. 

3 Star Picks (shits and giggles picks)

Virginia +19.5 @ UCLA: Once again, Mike London is a dead man walking at UVA, and his Hoos will be making a miserable cross country trip from Rape Country. However, the Cavs will keep it respectable, as the Bruins will suffer growing pains with their true freshman QB, Josh Rosenpenis. Or is it Josh Rosenrosen, or just Josh Rosen?

Northwestern +12 vs. Stanford: There’s no truth to the rumor that Pat Fitzgerald enlisted the help of Republican hopeful/Water-Head Scott Walker to bust the players’ unionizing attempts.  But at least the Evanston brainiacs can focus on football and keeping it respectable against the Leftists from Palo Alto.

Ok For Now…..

The Atlanta Fixer's WEEK 15 Plays



WEEK 15

OKLAHOMA ST +21 @ Oklahoma- For some reason, the Pokes want to call this a rivalry. But they’ve lost 83 of the 108 games and have been outscored by 1,200 points. OU calls Texas their rival, and consider the peeps in Stillwater their inbred cousins… which is oddly, pretty factual…

NORTHERN ILLINOIS -6½ vs Bowling Green- The winner of this game has their choice of bowling in either Mobile, Montgomery or Boise. So there’s a lot at stake. Imagine being able to drink underage and buy Ectasy on Dauphin Street, or darting to The Alley for a luke-warm draft while your car is repeatedly broken into. Or dealing with sub-freezing temps while watching a game on an oddly colored surface that give you seizures… MACTION!!!

TEMPLE -3 @ Tulane- I was in New Orleans most of this week, and not one time did I hear anyone mention the Green Wave. In fact, only a couple of people even knew that they have a new on campus stadium. But I was talking to afternoon drunks in seedy uptown dive bars at 3pm in the afternoon… Well, wherever they play, they’ll get smeared by the Owls. Give a Hoot, read a book!

SMU +12 @ UConn- The Mustangs have a new coach but have to finish out the season freezing their balls off in Stoors playing a team that will need a new coach eventually. You’ll be able to count the people in the stadium with a toddler’s abacus made of gum drops…

CINCINNATI -7 vs Houston- This is the Bearcats program: Play the majority of your games during the week in a larger stadium than yours but yet you can’t even think about filling it, while your sketchy coach plots his next move. Oh, and your students chant White Stripes’ songs nonstop…
