Prop Bets for the College Football Junkie is a weekly post that cares not for your silly point spreads. If you have the money and the gumption, we'll lay down a weekly gauntlet of propositions that'll take you from the penthouse to the outhouse faster than you can guess the number of times Lee Corso will say "not so fast my friend." As always, this is for entertainment purposes only.
$ With the celebration that you all know is coming in the Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party Florida vs. Georgia game this weekend, we give you a multiple choice wager. Over/under on the following dances being performed:
-Funky Chickens +/-1. You know that's how Urban Rolls... -Solja Boys +/-20. -Worms +/-2. Come on, you know one or two guys that break this out at the worst possible moment. -Sprinklers +/-1, because some things just can't end soon enough.
$ Number of employed cart drivers if they leave their cart in the back of the end zone, +/-0. It seems like an easy bet, but I want to remind you that the house gets all pushes.
$ Phil Fulmer is most definitely on the hot seat, and heading to South Carolina this weekend to face off with his old pal Steve Spurrier. This is probably the first prop bet I've done that is most likely alive and kicking somewhere in Vegas. But we give you the straight up bet that Fulmer will be fired after this weekend.

-Mark Mangino and Kansas play this Friday night at South Florida, and it is going to be hot and humid. Like 93 degrees and 100% humidity. I know it gets hot in Kansas, but the humidity can't be anywhere close. So naturally, we're putting the over/under on the number of pounds Mangino will lose from the opening kickoff to the last gun at 20lbs.
-Shots of Beanie Wells foot in pregame +/-5 just seems too easy and really not all that much fun. But the over/under on the number of references to the Pac 10 teleconference this week during the USC-Ohio State game at +/-3 could be entertaining, and a straight up yes/no on if the announcers will reference the part about condoms is one we can only hope for.
-The game this week between Michigan and Notre Dame isn't exactly living up to the history of this rivalry. The two teams combined to score 37 points against.....well.....no one really. So we put the over/under at 20 for the number of closeups of Weis/Rodriguez blowing up after a bonehead mistake on offense.

- We kid because we care, and if Notre Dame is able to win this weekend against San Diego State you can expect Lou Holtz to remind the world that he predicted the Irish to win 11 games this year. We put the over/under for this at five, provided Notre Dame wins. Also, we put the over/under at three for the number of times Mark May will remind Holtz that it was San Diego State. We would say five, but we're sure at least a couple of those times there will be a producer on the set with a look on his face that says "just let him enjoy this moment."
- The punt block that sealed East Carolina's victory over Virginia Tech was poetic justice for all the times the Hokies have won games like that. We're sure it will be replayed multiple times during the game with West Virginia this weekend. But that's now what we're looking at. No, the over/under for this one will be the number of Tech fans actually cheering for West Virginia, and we put that number at five. If you don't know, the catch is that Tech and West Virginia were hated rivals in the Big East days. Being a West Virginia fan, I find it comforting that any Hokie would stoop so low as to cheer for the Mountaineers. Even funnier is that I know of at least one already. Unfortunately, I had to delete his comments on this because he had some derogatory phrases about the Pirates in his comments. I guess it must be my picture.

-Being a West Virginia fan, one of the things I am sure is going to be mentioned over and over on every broadcast of Mountaineer games this year is that Rich Rodriguez is coaching at Michigan now. Likewise for Michigan games I expect a healthy mention of his time at West Virginia. And as the quality of the announcing crew goes down, the chances of each being mentioned goes up. Since the West Virginia game is on the Ocho (ESPN 8), and the Michigan game is on ABC I'll throw out these over/under numbers: West Virginia game +/- 30, Michigan game +/- 20. The nice thing about this prop bet is that it also lends itself well to a drinking game. Not that I'm encouraging that.
-North Carolina State is expected to finish near the bottom of the ACC this year, and Steve Spurrier knows this. Since Spurrier handed over play calling duties to his son this year it will be interesting to see the amount of frustration he shows toward junior if things don't go well against the Wolfpack Thursday night. Because in Spurrier's world, when things don't go well, a sun visor gets slammed to the ground. We'll put the over/under at five for this game. But if Spurrier takes the field sans visor, +/- 10 on lip smacking exhales. So fill out your cards accordingly.
