What I Believe We Will See in 2013

So the college football season is over. Now we are stuck with the NFL, MLB, NBA, college basketball and the return of hockey until next CFB season.

A bummer, but some of the other previously mentioned sports aren't all bad. Nowhere near as good as college football, but we won't go there.

I have decided that I would make a post about some things I feel will go down in 2013. I did pretty well at our weekly picks. I figure I will do pretty well at this. You can call me McNamarus (like Nostradamus...you know?)

In 2013, this is what I see happening in the college football world:

- The Ohio State Buckeyes will not go undefeated. They will not play in the National Championship. They will not win the B1G.

- Penn State will win the B1G.

- An SEC team will win the National Championship AGAIN.

- Johnny Manziel will win the Heisman for the second straight year. Watch out Archie Griffin!

- Chip Kelly will not fair well with the Philadelphia Eagles (not CFB, but still)

- The Ohio Bobcats will go undefeated.

- Nick Saban's Crimson Tide will be upset by two lesser opponents.

That's all for now. I hope you guys enjoyed these predictions and I hope I get a few right! Lol

Manti Te'o Inspirational Girlfriend Death Story a Hoax

Manti Te'o had a wonderful year for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He played well, he represented the school well, and he played most of the season as a tribute to his grandmother and his girlfriend, both who passed away only a few hours apart. Or at least that's what he wanted you to think.

Today a lot of this story (the real story), came to light, and it is quite a shocker.

Apparently Manti's grandmother did pass away, but his girlfriend not only didn't pass away, but it seems she didn't even exist. Notre Dame has came out with a statement trying to say that Manti wasn't in on this hoax, but actually a victim as well, but that seems like it couldn't be further from the truth.

Here is a link to the full story. It's long, but worth the read.
