Time To Be Frank, or whoever you really are.

Somewhere during the last twenty years, I lost myself,  I lost everything that made me, me.  I lost whatever made me Frank.

When you’re lost or lose yourself, you’re no longer a leader, therefore, you’re easily led.  If you don’t wake up, you drift further and further from your center because you’re being led astray.

In the absence of my shit, I’ve explored, I’ve experimented, and I’ve talked to people that otherwise, I wouldn’t have spoken to.  In the end, I became good.  Just good.  I immersed myself in studies and learned all about astrology, numerology, spirituality, meditation, and so on.  In doing so, I found something I was passionate about.

No more taking the wheel with the windows down on a hot summer night.  I traded in the Caddy for a station wagon  so-to-speak.  No more arrogance, no more outspokenness, no more Frank.  More listening, and less talking.

But… where has being good got me?  It’s gotten me ignored, it’s hard to find a job, and I haven’t had a romantic partner in seven years.  I bite my tongue now, and try my best to speak the truth.

People treat me differently because I’ve become a different person, but you see, there has to be a balance to this, and what I’m finding out is that people will shit, shit, and shit all over you as long as they feel like they can get away with it, and believe me, I’ve let people get away with some shit.  No more however, no more.

I’m not asking for anything anymore, because at this point, I almost don’t care.  If my life never turns out the way I thought, expected, or hoped,  than I guess it wasn’t meant to be, but…..

…..no matter how scared I may be, I will never be controlled by fear.

NCAA College Football Week 5 Feature Game Follow Up

Our attempt to go 3-0-1 versus the spread this weekend was crushed in USC’s 14-28 loss to Washington.  We caught the line at 10, but obviously, that wasn’t enough.  Table Seven is now 2-1-1 versus the spread. 

USC lost by 14 to Washington, are you shocked?  Washington does have a good team this year, but I thought for sure USC was going to come closer than 14.  Senior WR, Michael Pittman Jr. did have a touchdown, but he was the only one the trio that did.  Turnovers really ruined USC’s chances as quarterback Matt Fink threw three interceptions.  With this win, the Huskies improved their record to 4-1.  The Trojans are now 3-2, and this is their second loss on the road.

In general, it was an amazing weekend of college football!  The Tar Heels played an outstanding game against the number one team in the country, Clemson.  The game was a 14-14 tie in the fourth quarter until Clemson scored and took the lead for the first time in the game.  Then, North Carolina came right back and scored.  The score was 21-20, Clemson was winning by one point.  The Tar Heel coaching staff decided to go for the 2-point conversion, and QB Sam Howell was stuffed short.  The game ended 21-20, Clemson won, and I’m still trying to figure out for the life of me, why the decision to go for two?  Why?  Why would you play your ass off for four quarters against the best team in the country, and then gamble the game away at the very end?  It didn’t make sense to me, it really felt like UNC just gave Clemson the game.  They could’ve kicked the extra point and battled it out in overtime.  Obviously, if they converted, it would’ve been the best call ever, but c’mon.  If you don’t need two, you don’t go for two.

Michigan beat Rutgers 52-0, and that’s exactly what Michigan needed to do this week.  Wisconsin looked terrible in their throwback uniforms, but the odd look brought them good luck in their game against Northwestern.  It was a 24-15 win for the Badgers.  Kellen Mond led Texas A&M to a 31-27 victory over the Razorbacks, and Arizona upset number fifteen California 24-17.  Earning respect on the field was our call to Notre Dame this week, and they answered by beating (18) UVA 35-20.

Alright my good friends.  Week five has come and gone, and the overall picture of who’s who in NCAA College Football is starting to come into focus.  We picked Washington to win their game against USC, and they did, but we also picked USC to cover the 10 point spread, and they didn’t.  That’s okay though, it’s early.  The upset this week definitely goes to Arizona in their win over Cal, and we’re happy to send some respect in Notre Dame’s direction for beating (18)UVA by fifteen.  Don’t forget to check back Thursday, October 3rd, for the Table 7 Top 6, and our Week Six, NCAA College Football Feature Game Preview.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.   

Table Seven NCAA College Football Feature Game Analysis; Week 5

Welcome everyone to our NCAA College Football Feature Game Analysis.  Yes, it is the fifth week of the season already.  Our pick is the game between the USC Trojans and the Washington Huskies.

This game will be played Saturday afternoon at 3:30 at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Washington.  Washington is a 10 point favorite.

The USC Trojans have wins this season against Fresno State, Stanford, and (19)Utah.  Their only loss was in overtime to BYU 30-27, but they did bounce back well against Utah.  All three of USC’s wins were captured at home, but they’re on the road this week.  The Trojans can and will throw the ball as they’re ranked 30th in the league.  They have a playmaker at WR.  Senior, Michael Pittman Jr. is 6’4 and 220 pounds.  He’s averaging over 100 yards per game and has 3 touchdowns.  Senior, Tyler Vaughns, and Junior, Stephen Carr are also two very productive receivers that compliment Pittman.  I’m sure that loss to BYU was something unexpected, but don’t expect the Trojans to make a habit of losing games on the road.

Washington is also 3-1.  They lost by 1 measly point on the road to (15)California, but they had no problems beating BYU on the road.  That was a 45-19 win for the huskies.  Washington’s QB Jacob Eason is a 6’6 junior who’s completing 73 percent of his passes.  He has almost 1,100 yards in the air and 10 touchdowns.

This game is your traditional CIvil War of the PAC-12.  Saturday, September 28th, it’s the Trojans versus the Huskies.  It’s North against South.  It’s going to be hard, close, and electric.  Neither team expects to lose, but of course, one will.

Feature Game Pick Versus The Spread

USC +10

Okay y’all!  We pick Washington to win this game at home, but we think USC will cover the 10 point spread.  This week we attempt to go 3-0-1 versus the spread, and we can’t wait.  Have a wonderful college football Saturday, and enjoy all the games.

Table 7 Top 6; NCAA College Football Week 5

Good morning everyone.  Week 5 of the college football season is already here, and I hope you’re enjoying it as much as I am.  Down below is our Top 6, that is, six college football games you might want to keep an eye on this weekend.

  1. (12)Penn State @ Maryland- This is a Friday night game that will be played under the lights in College Park, Maryland at 8 o’clock.  Maryland, according to CBS Sports are 6.5 point underdogs at home.  At this point they’re 2-1, which really sucks because they balled in that upset win against Syracuse on September 7th.  If you remember, the Orangemen were ranked then, but Marland came out nowhere and shocked a lot of people with a 63-20 win.  So it sucks to come out the following week and lose 17-20 against Temple, but hey, that’s how it goes.  Last week the Terrapins had a bye, which couldn’t have come at a better time now that the Nittany Lions are coming to town.  Penn State is ranked 12th in the Nation, and sports a perfect 3-0 record.  Junior receiver KJ Hamler, although relatively undersized at 5’9 and 175 lbs., has been really productive averaging 82 yards per game with 2 touchdowns.  In my opinion, Penn State is still unproven, so I’m going to conclude anything can happen here.  I wouldn’t be surprised if Maryland wins.
  2. Arizona State @ (15)California- This is another Friday night game scheduled to kickoff at 10:30.  California is undefeated (4-0) and favored by 5 at home.  I think Cal opened some eyes when the beat Washington on September 7th, who was ranked 17th at the time, and they’ve been rolling along ever since.  Nothing fancy, just getting the job done.  Arizona State is 3-1, and their most notable win this season was a 10-7 victory over Michigan State.  Last week, they lost to division rival Colorado 31-34.  In four games, QB Jayden Daniels has thrown for 1,073 yards, completing 61% of his passes.  Out of the depths of the backfield, Eno Benjamin is averaging 73 yards per game, and it is just that- average.  No one has taken over offensively yet as a “go-to-guy” or game breaker, but i guess that’s okay for now because their defense is playing well.  Before giving up 34 points to Colorado, they only gave up 7 points in each of their first three games.  Predictions point to a low scoring and close game, in which California wins by 5 at home.  We shall see.
  3. (18)University of Virginia @ Notre Dame- Last week Notre Dame lost to Georgia 17-23, and to be honest, I’m really happy about that because Notre Dame always seems to get way more credit and respect then they actually earn.  I mean, we obviously can’t count on their ranking, because they could probably lose 4 games and still play for the BCS National Championship (exaggeration, but I know you agree).   In their defense, they haven’t had any problems moving the ball or scoring so far.  They’re averaging 445 total yards per game.  UVA has wins against Pitt and Florida State and right now they’re undefeated (4-0).  You see what I mean, they’re ranked 18th, and Notre Dame is ranked 10th, and I’m not looking to the top 25 ranking as the answer for everything, but if the season ended today look at where these teams would finish.  If Notre Dame wants my respect they need to start winning games ON THE FIELD.  They get no more respect for ranking well, and if they’re not careful, UVA could leave Indiana with their 5th W.
  4. (1)Clemson @ UNC- North Carolina is a 27 point underdog at home this weekend.  There’s probably no way Clemson will lose this game, but I would like to mention, for all the hype Trevor Lawrence has received, it looks as if, statistically, the Tar Heels might have the better quarterback.  Sam Howell has a 64 percent completion rating.  He has thrown for 1,024 yards and 9 touchdowns with only 2 interceptions.  Like I said, Clemson probably won’t lose this game, but Lawrence’s 5 interceptions in four games won’t cut it against better teams.
  5. (5)Ohio State @ Nebraska- This game kicks off Saturday evening at 7:30 in Lincoln, Nebraska.  Ohio State is fuc*ing blowing teams off the map!  The Buckeyes are undefeated (4-0) and look to keep that streak going.  Nebraska is 3-1, but records and stats might not necessary in this one because…trap, trap, trap!  Once upon a time, it was a dark and gloomy night in Lincoln, and for some strange reason, everything that could go wrong, went really wrong for the Buckeyes.
  6. Mississippi State @ (8)Auburn- Kick off is 7:00pm in Auburn, Alabama.  Auburn is undefeated (4-0), and Mississippi State is 3-1.  Auburn is ranked 27th in the country in rushing yards per game (259.5), and they’ve already beaten two teams ranked in the top 25 (Oregon and Texas A&M).  It’s early in the season, but they’ve been tested, and they’ve passed.  Mississippi State won’t just roll over and give Auburn the game though.  They looked quite impressive last week in that 28-13 win over Kentucky.

    Alright!  There it is, the https://noozbuffet.com Table 7 Top 6 matchups of week five in NCAA College Football.  Don’t forget to check back to this site this afternoon at 3pm for our NCAA College Football Feature Game Analysis.

Table 7; The Truth

I would like to thank WordPress for sending us the happy anniversary card.  Today, September 23, 2019, is officially our one year anniversary since being on the internet.

When we started https://noozbuffet.com a year ago, I told you;

Nooz Buffet is information that’s relevant, progressive, and in sync year around as the seasons change and time moves forward.

and as fate would have it, our anniversary happens to coincide with the 2019 Fall Equinox.

Thank you, and stay tuned.  Another year of real truth is on the menu!

 

Wait A Second, Who Are You?

I’m not going to name names, but the person I’m speaking about has been in the news lately, and her “mission” is touching millions of people across our country.  She is a female, she is under the age of 18, and she seems to be be really concerned about global climate change.

If someone showed up at your doorstep and began ringing your doorbell, would you let them in?  Keep in mind, you don’t know this person, and you’ve never met them.  Well, I would hope not, but of course, our country has welcomed the minor with open arms.

The fact that she has sailed here across the ocean by herself in a solar powered row boat is really interesting.  Doesn’t she have school though?

It makes me wonder?  Is she running from someone or something?  Does she have a disease that could infect the entire American population?  Has she been exiled?  Who is she really?  Does she have a birth certificate?  (oh wait a minute, that’s why OBAMA fist bumped her, they have something in common.)

What’s her real name?  Is she a symbol of world peace?  Does she really care about the temperature of the planet?

If, and I’m saying if, she sailed across the ocean alone, that’s very brave of her, and I admire her for having “that get up and go” mentality, but to look at her, she doesn’t seem really passionate at all about the topic of which she speaks.  They say she’s swiss, but that’s only because she looks like the “Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate Girl” with her braids.  I think she’s German.  Something isn’t jiving.

That’s just my opinion.

Alright Everyone, Have A good Day!  Write in, and let me know what you think.

NCAA College Football Feature Follow-up

Sunday, September 22, 2019.

First things first, money, right?  Okay, we gave you SMU getting 9.5 points.  THEY COVERED.!!🎆🎇🎉🎊💲  https://noozbuffet.com is now 2-0-1 versus the spread.

SMU did the unexpected.  They traveled to Fort Worth as 9.5 point underdogs, and beat (25)Texas Christian 41-38.  We knew SMU was outscoring opponents 35-6 in the first quarter, and of course, playing on the road this week, we stressed the importance of them getting off to a fast start.

Boy oh boy, they didn’t disappoint us either.  SMU QB Shane Buechele rushed 4 yards for the Mustangs first touchdown.  Then, TCU fumbled the ball on their own 1 yard line, and SMU recovered.  On the ensuing drive, Xavier Jones rushed 1 yard for the Mustangs second touchdown, and it was 15-0 just like that.  When the first quarter ended, SMU was winning 18-7.  They scored early and often.  Mission complete.

Shane Buechele did throw an interception, but he also threw for 288 yards and two touchdowns.  His completion percentage was almost 70%.  On the ground, Xavier Jones did carry the load.  He touched the rock 19 times, and had 79 yards and a touchdown.  (that’s a little over 4 yards per carry)  Not bad at all.

TCU never really did rebound from that first quarter.  They trailed the entire game despite scoring 21 points in the second half and almost making a comeback.  I don’t know what happened to that two-headed monster in the backfield, but Darius Anderson did some serious damage.  He rushed for 161 yards and 2 touchdowns.  The Horned Frogs did a really good job spreading the ball around.  Eight different receivers caught passes, but Pro Wells stood out with 2 td’s.

We said when it was all said and done, only one team would remain undefeated.  The SMU Mustangs are now 4-0.  I really thought this win would spring them into the NCAA Top 25, but I guess voters aren’t giving them that much respect yet.

I don’t know WTF these people look at.  UCF loss to Pitt and they’re still in, Army’s in with one loss, and Michigan has one loss.  They’re even considering one-loss Iowa State for the 25th spot.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Saturday, and we’ll see y’all next week.  Don’t forget, every Thursday we post the Table 7 Top 6, at 6am, and the Nooz Buffet NCAA College Football Feature Game of the Week analysis is up by 3pm.

Table Seven NCAA College Football Feature Game of the Week

There are a few games this weekend that are well deserving of super hype and attention, but as shocking as it may be, our NCAA College Football Feature Game pick is the game between SMU and TCU.

Southern Methodist is traveling to Texas Christian, and when it’s all said and done, only one of them will remain undefeated.

The SMU Mustangs won a tight game against Arkansas State 37-30 during the first week of the season, and since, they’ve continued taking care of business.  They beat North Texas 49-27, and Texas State 47-17.  They’re unranked, but they’re 3-0.  Running back Xavier Jones has 291 yards and 7 touchdowns on 54 carries.  He’s capable of carrying the load, and SMU will need him to be productive.  The Mustangs are outscoring opponents 35-6 in first quarter play, and this week, more than ever, they’ll have come out and make an early statement.  They’re on the road, and the environment will be hostile.

TCU is ranked 25th, they’re 2-0, and they’re home.  They will be up and ready for this game.  They have wins over Pine Bluff and Purdue and seek win number three this weekend.  TCU has the advantage of playing home so it can only work in their favor if they’re scoring early and often.  Last week the Horned Frog defense held Purdue running back King Doerue to 27 yards on 11 carries and picked off quarterback Jack Plummer twice.  As a matter of fact, the Boiler Makers touched pay dirt one time, and it was  in the fourth quarter.  They’ll need the same effort this week out of their defense.  On offense, TCU seems to have a two-headed monster emerging out of the backfield.  Combined, Olonilua and Anderson rushed for 285 yards and 3 touchdowns on 34 carries.  If SMU can’t stop the run, it’s going to be a long hard afternoon.

Alright everyone, there you have it.  I hope everyone has a safe and happy college football weekend.  Enjoy all the games, and don’t forget to leave us a message.  You know we like hearing from you!  Down below, as you can see, we picked TCU, the home favorite, to win the game, but we think SMU will cover the 9.5 point spread.
