I'm late getting The Converter back up and running; my plans to spend spring training and the summer fundamentally overhauling the machine resulted zero progress. Well, not zero; I did replace some of the baggie ties with real wire (well, the stuff you use for hanging pictures) and I replaced the burned-out bulbs. But the CPU? Same unreliable piece of crap from last year (and on last week's no-image trial run, The Converter is generating wins (3-2) at about the same pace that the Obama Administration is creating jobs.
But it's game time, so let's get to it.
1. AUBURN v. MISSISSIPPI STATE (State by 3)
NCAAFConverter : Someone call PETA.
I'll throw up my hands and surrender to fate and the strength of the machine on this one; I was of the opinion that Auburn's fall from grace was so great that it was in danger of being eclipsed by State. But maybe not; looks like the Tiger (and sidekick War Eagle) has taken it hard to this poor dog.
AUBURN for the win!
2. MIAMI v. KANSAS STATE (bonus for 7-point underdog Miami)
NCAAFConverter : Wildcats by a nose.
And this time The Converter appears to be firing on all of the 18 cylinders in its Rolls Royce Merlin engine - America's can-do winning attitude watched the sun set over the British Empire from the cockpit of a Grumman F 4F Wildcat.
KSU for the win!
3. FLORIDA v. TEXAS A&M (Aggies by 1)
NCAAFConverter : Billboard WHOOP!
What's that ClearChannel - FL, LLC? Someone took a chain saw (and then later, out of compounded frustration, a cutting torch) to one of your $5k-a-month boards? Who the hell was the sales rep on that account, and is maybe is he a damned Texan? Nice start, Aggies.
A&M for the win!
4. NEBRASKA v.UCLA (5-point underdog Bruins worth a bonus point)
NCAAFConverter : Bear Corn WTF you crazy japanese?!??
Who knew that those crazy Japanese have a whole industry segment dedicated to animating bears in various vegetable forms, including corn? Is there a parallel division where corn takes on the entirety of the animal kingdom? I hope so, and I sure hope The Converter's burning pure ethynol on this one.
UCLA for the win! Gimme the bonus point!
5. GEORGIA v. MISSOURI (UGA by 3)
NCAAFConverter : another tigers-bulldogs matchup? See AU-MSU above?
Well, Mayor of Poolsville, you managed to piss off The Converter by causing it to use the SAME imputs for two different games. The Converter is now over in the kitchen knocking back Red Stripes like they are Miller Lite. So I'm on my own, and all I can do is search for the face of victory. And I have found it/her. Mizzou, welcome to the SEC.
UGA for the win!
