Welcome back. So I think I’ve finally figured out why this year has been a disaster. This column began in 2014. The results were terrible, and the Cougs sucked. Fast forward a year. The Cougs were really good, and we did better than the people who do this for a living. Now, here we are in 2016. Guess what? The Cougs are lousy so far, and our picks have been an unmitigated disaster.
But on we must go. I never thought having zero money on these games (besides the pool I do on the side which has been equally maddening after a 3-0 debut) would make me so emotionally invested, but there I was cursing at my TV as Penn State completely screwed me.
