Seth's 50 Centers

I’ve left the podcast below for those who want to check out the Rose Bowl preview show:

We’re back after a hiatus that included a trip to The Bahamas, where I was eaten by bugs and had to go on steroids, but that’s a topic for another show…

Anyway, longtime friend Andy Loth joins the program. Andy and I called the 2000 Ohio State-Purdue game together at Purdue. That’s the one that included a great drive at the end of the game for what looked like an Ohio State win, only to be disrupted when some guy named Drew Brees threw a 65-yard TD pass to Seth Morales.

But today we’re talking Rose Bowl, and what OSU needs to do to get the job done. I’m on the record, in print, as saying Ohio State will win 27-24, but after talking to Andy I’m convinced the Ducks will fail to score over 20 points. Mark it down!

NFL Picks

We had another win from Will Will, not to mention that Teddy, who grew sick of losing to Nora Peanut every week, finally found a strategy he liked — Teddy picked the team whose city came first in the alphabet this week, with the exception of Cincinnati-San Diego, because he refuses to pick the Bengals.
