Last year I started something like 12-2. I couldn't miss. I think I saw every snap of the first 12 bowl games. I was on top of the world.
This year, I can't stay far enough away from the TV. I actually got excited when I saw East Carolina winning, only to log on and realize I had picked Boise State. Instead of watching a fantastic finish, I put on "Superbad" and got a few cheap laughs.
And the Motor City Bowl? I put on the Ranger game because I was so disgusted once the score reached 24-6. Me, Dr. Z and Lou Holtz deserve each other. We deserve a corner booth at a fancy sports bar where we can watch all of our picks go down in flames, together.
But I'm taking the high road. I believe. I'm going to change seats and slide in a seat across from Sinatra, because "The Best is Yet to Come."
