Have too much time on your hands? Find that reading only ianguerin.com isn't filling up your work week?

From now on, I'm going to start giving my wonderful readers (Hi Greg) another blog to visit. I promise all of these will have the Ian seal of approval -- which means basically squat. Regardless, take a gander. You might just find another one you like.

For this week, I'm not going very far. Next-door neighboor (and fellow house crasher) Matt Stooks might as well be called Mr. Variety for his blog. He'll make fun or everything from bottled water to Hillary.

Funny how a little bit of cold weather will make you rethink your position on something.

It was only a year ago that I was a proponent of the nice-weather college baseball teams being able to take advantage of the weather and start their seasons the first week of February. After all, it was a way for northern teams to get away for a few days and get some good baseball in.

Why wondering what in Utah Pete Carroll is thinking by even entertaining the idea of going to Atlanta...

Early lines on this weekend's games don't bode well for the visiting teams in the NFL playoffs. And while I'm not usually a big fan of bringing point spreads into talk of NFL football, it seems as if those geniuses in Vegas have gotten a bit out of hand. As you'll see below, the aways teams (as of this post) were all listed as touchdown-plus underdogs.

All I can say is LSU did it all for the right reasons.

With the Tigers' win over Ohio State Monday night, I finished the year strong. Following those last three bowl games, I can now say I'm average -- at least when it comes to picking these bowl games.

I finished the postseason 16-16, and considering how nuts this college football season was, I guess I'll take it.

In honor of earning a Nostradamus tag, I give you five things Ohio State fans can look forward to despite the loss.

Everyone needs a woman in his/her life like Elaine Pottebaum.

The type of woman who always took care of when you were in college and who -- despite her sons' oft-timed lunacy -- has managed to somehow keep her head on straight. Obviously then I had absolutely no problem heading to her place tonight to help her take down part of a tree that was rubbing on her roof.

Somewhat of a follow up on my prediction for tonight's game...

Watching the LSU-Arkansas replay on CSTV, I'm baffled on how Arkansas got manhandled by Missouri on New Year's Day. The Razorbacks had a new coach and there was controversy surrounding Darren McFadden.

It comes down to this.

LSU vs. Ohio State.

Yeah, yeah, there's some kind of national championship being decided. However, the real importance of this game is that I need to nail it to finish .500 for the 2007 bowl slate predictions.

Courtesy of Tulsa's absolute beatdown of The Fighting Hammonds Sunday night, I've climbed to 15-16 overall. Now, with all do respect to the Rose Bowl, Monday has turned into the Grandaddy of Them All.

It's fitting that I'm back in Kansas City, the place where I spent many an hour watching American Gladiators.

Of course, with Sunday's spandex revival, I'm sitting here watching guys and gals get the snot kicked out of 'em. They've upped the ante with the new version, as contenders get a shot a $100k and a chance to become a gladiator.

Still, there's room for improvement.

For starters, the new "Eliminator" includes contestants swimming under contained flames. Instead, let's have them try to hurdle the fire.

BEDFORD, TEXAS -- I've been beating around the bush here. No more. It's time for me to come clean with all of you.

I have not done very well with this year's bowl predictions. I know, I know. Most of you are thinking "But, Ian, you've successfully predicted the winners in 13 of the 29 bowl games. I don't think I could have done as well."

BEDFORD, TEXAS -- Helen Keller, I envy you.

Courtesy of helping out with two kids under the age of 4, I've been exposed to more horrible movies in the past several weeks than probably ever before. Anyone with kids probably understands what I'm going through.

And for that, I'm so sorry. My sister, Stephanie -- who just had her first child last year -- is getting closer and closer to the pain.

Here's a few of the gems I'll be avoiding at all costs.
