We’ve got College Gameday on the main screen, Sportsnation on the bottom screen, and Dari & Mel going on the radio. Why would I be listening to the radio while watching two TVs? Because I like to party. I’ll be updating all morning starting with a few picks from the last week, and continue to update as the picks continue to rain down on us. Stay tuned!

Week 3 2012: Saturday morning picks!

Posted on September 15, 2012 by gamedaycole

We are up and running this morning here at Cole’s Gameday Blog. The Rojo Tea is flowing, ESPNU on the main screen with the first hour of College Gameday, and Sportsnation on the secondary screen. WE ARE LIVE FROM ~~FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS~~ KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE FOR THE BIG DAY! We are slightly behind but playing catchup on the DVR, so check in and check back frequently to see who is picking who this morning! Our experts are currently sitting a 9-4 in favor of Tennessee over Florida, with Pat Forde and David Pollack being the lonely souls riding Florida (update: Desmond Howard flip-flopped and is now on Florida too, along with Kirk Herbstreit!). That’s pretty strong for a game that is only a 3 point spread. Is it really an upset? Tennessee is ranked lower, but favored by 3. Call it what you will. Pick wisely.
