After another .500 week, I’m ready to entertain the possibility that I’ve been cursed with a season of mediocrity. What other explanation could there be for my poor predictions these last few weeks? Actually, don’t answer that question.

Morale may be low, but I refuse to stand idly by as my record continues to suffer. That’s why I have decided to add a new rule to my set.

5. At some point, Texas A&M will pull a Texas A&M no matter how good they appear to be.

I have also decided to revise rule #2. It shall now read as:

2. You are always wrong about Arkansas. Whatever your initial reaction is, go opposite of that.

Hopefully, these revisions are step in the right direction toward overcoming the .500 barrier.
