2011 National Sleeper Teams Year in Review

The crew's national sleeper teams distinguished themselves in a variety of ways throughout the 2011 college football season...mostly in negative fashion. Here is a rundown of each crew member's national sleeper team. Hide the women and children.

Patrick Williams - Syracuse Orange. Final Record: 5-7. Bowl destination - None. Moment of Achievement - Defeated West Virginia 49-23 on October 21st to move to 5-2 on the season. Moment(s) of Failure - Lost final five games to finish 5-7 and miss out on a bowl game. Scoring stats - 84th in points scored per game (24.2) & 75th in points against per game (28.5). A bad combination. Final Grade - C-

Johnny Fayetteville - Texas Tech Red Raiders. Final Record: 5-7. Bowl destination - None. Moment of Achievement - Defeated No. 1 Oklahoma on October 22nd to move to 5-2 on the season. The win ended OU's 39 game home winning streak. Moment(s) of Failure - Never won another game after beating OU, and just like Syracuse, lost their last five games to miss out on a bowl game. Not sure Texas Tech fielded a defense. Scoring stats - 26th in points scored per game (33.8) & 117th (yes, 117 out of 120) in points against per game (39.3). Good gracious. Final Grade - D

Tom Logan - Louisville Cardinals. Final Record: 7-5. Bowl destination - Belk Bowl versus North Carolina State. Moment of Achievement - Went 5-2 in the Big East and tied for 1st place. Won 5 of their last 6 games. The best of this year's national sleeper teams. Moment of Failure - Lost at home to Florida International. Scoring stats - 100th in points scored per game (21.8) & 14th in points against per game (19.2). Final Grade - B

Jimmy G - Arizona State Sun Devils. Final Record: 6-6. Bowl destination - MAACO Las Vegas Bowl versus Boise State. Moment of achievement - Defeated USC 43-22. Were 5-1 on October 8 and in firm control of the putrid Pac-12 South division. Moment(s) of Failure - lost 5 of their final 6 games including the last four to finish in 3rd in the Pac-12 South. Fired head coach Dennis Erickson which may be a moment of achievement. Scoring stats - 25th in points scored per game (33.9) & 64th in points against per game (64th). Final Grade - D-

Razorpod Picks - Week 14

LSU Wrap

The pod crew wraps up the regular season by discussing the Hogs' 41-17 dismantling at the hands of the LSU Tigers last Friday.  A disappointing end to a really good season, but there is still much to look forward to for Razorback fans.  The crew discusses the bowl possibilities; the various championship games, and Jimmy G picks Army for the 8th year in a row.  The picks contest is tied going down the stretch with Jimmy G and Johnny Fayetteville running neck and neck to the finish.  Patrick and Tom have been mathematically eliminated from contention, but that doesn't stop them from making garbage picks just for fun and games.  Enjoy this edition of Razorpod, and be sure to check back in TWO weeks for the bowl preview show.

Razorpod Picks - Week 13

The Battle of the Boot. 1:30 p.m. Friday afternoon. Baton Rouge, Louisiana. No. 1 vs. No. 3. CBS. Razorpodders' picks for the biggest game, since the Big Shootout in 1969.

Miss. State Wrap; LSU Preview

The Hogs are now 10-1 after this weekend's 44-17 defeat of Mississippi State in Historic War Memorial Stadium this weekend. With the victory, and the other upsets around college football, the Hogs have climbed to the unprecedented #3 ranking in the BCS. On this week's show, the crew discusses this week's upcoming national semi-final game against the LSU Tigers, the Hogs chances to play in the National Championship (yes, I am typing that with a straight face), and the ways the BCS dominoes have fallen just right. Other issues are the untimely passing of Hog TE Garrett Ueckmann, the picks contest, and the national media's perception that a rematch is not the right matchup for the national title game.

Tennessee Wrap; Miss State Preview

This week's show brings back the dreaded technical difficulties-in many ways.  JimmyG fades in and out, and Jena's revenge has caused the Razorpod email to explode in a shower of spam.  We have a NEW EMAIL:  r a z o r p o d p o d c a s t at gmail.com  (expanded to defeat the spambots), so please change you emails accordingly.  In the show itself, we discuss the Tennessee blowout win and the upcoming game at Historic War Memorial Stadium this Saturday against Mississippi State.  Enjoy Verne and Gary at their finest:
