Jolly Holiday Seasons To All! It's the ghost of Gator past here, talking to you from my subconscious. The real deal is, I didn't have time to actually expand on my picks this week. What you see from the green text are actually my picks, but because of my time crunch, I'm communicating through this week's bait and trusting him to correspond my reasoning onto actual written format. What my subconscious can't be held accountable for is Wolverine's interpretation of these thoughts and reasoning. Typically I go through the records and what not at this point and how bad I've done compared to some of the awesome people that have beat me, but those are all locked away in the right part of my brain. Unfortunately I've disallowed access to Wolverine from that part as it also contains very valuable information that may eventually save this planet if it were to put itself in danger. I do know that Whit Prowdy and myself tied last week, or at least that's what Wolverine told me. Either way, I give him the win just out of principle that it was his first time and he choked.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I had a good one, despite my terrible week last week going 6-7-2, luckily for me, Whit went 6-7-2 as well in his debut. For the season I'm 116-98-4. Wolverine is beating me 26-17 on the season to go ahead 4-3 in matchups and 61-41-1 on the season. I'm beating Crunked 14-9(and winning 2-1 in matchups). He is 19-24 on the season. I'm beating Raiden 5-2(1-0 in matchups) and Raiden's record for the season is 7-7. I'm 0-0-1 against Whit Prowdy. We are tied 5-5-1 in the matchups and he's 6-7-2 for the season. This week it's Wolverine again, I need to get a tie here to set up a potential finale that decides the season. We have 7 differences this week.

Well that was rather interesting. I don't know about Gator but I'm exhausted. I'm doubling my typing this time around, so I guess I'll just have to compensate with a lowering of my thought process. I'll probably still win.

I went 8-7 for the 2nd consecutive week. Just staying afloat over 500 every week. Unfortunately for me, Wolverine went 11-4 to beat me 4-1 on the differences. For the season I am 110-91-2. Wolverine is beating me 26-17 on the season to go ahead 4-3 in matchups and 61-41-1 on the season. I'm beating Crunked 14-9(and winning 2-1 in matchups). He is 19-24 on the season. I'm beating Raiden 5-2(1-0 in matchups) and Raiden's record for the season is 7-7. This week we have Whit Prowdy going against me and we have 11 differences. No that is not a typo, ELEVEN out of 15 games we have picked different. I definitely hate Whit Prowdy for 1 day at least. Going to be fun.

Gator, I am new at this, but I certainly don't expect you to go easy on me. The Gator-Bait gimmick leads me to believe that I'm the bait, but since I am a Rutgers guy, and my boys full on throttled their Knights doppelganger last night, you can bet I'm wearing an extra fancy and strong suit of armor. Bring it!!

Morris has taken a lot of criticism in his short time as Tampa head coach.  Some have even hinted that they would like to see a one-year stint for Morris.  Now, PSH will take you to the other side of the opinion, and Sascha Bartels will explain why Morris is the right man to right this sinking ship.
