This Week's Picks!

Last week, I went to another Marietta High School football game. Or as the P.A. announcer says, “Mayretta Hiskool”. They played Northview Hiskool which is in the ritzy part of Fulton County (yes there is still a ritzy part of Fulton County). Marietta pretty much dominated the game and our friends’ son, a sophomore, got into the game. He played 17 seconds. Oh, it reminded me of a time, not so long ago, waiting, hoping, praying, begging, pleading, pledging money to the booster club, to see if our favorite sixth string wingback, BEN MANIS#38 would get into a game.

But, that it the past and the future is now and now is the time for this week’s picks!

Pooches vs. Cluckers: In the most boring game of football played since men stopped growing handlebar mustaches, South Carolina beat Jonathan Holloway’s North Carolina Wolfpack. Georgia on the other hand, thought that the game against Oklahoma State was going to be only one quarter long. Turns out, they played three more. Postings were posted on the Dawg Nation message boards. A lot of them said bad things about Joe Cox and his momma. That and Coach Richt needs to shorten his quiet time. No matter, I think the Dogs are better that the Chickens, so I’m going with them. Dogs win.

Our Lady vs. Meechigan: Notre Dame is back, so says Lou Holtz. Then again, Lou wants to tell you about the time he dated Amelia Earhart. Meechigan plans to play four hundred students at quarterback. While I’m not thrilled with the Irish, I think Elon could beat Michigan. Notre Dame wins.

Rocky Toppers Vs The Hollywood Bears: Last year, you knew Tennessee was in trouble while you watched this game. I think they’ll give UCLA a run, but I think UCLA will win.

Trojan Men vs. Buckeye Boyz: Both teams have quarterbacks in Pampers. I’m going with USC because of Pete Carroll. USC wins.

Eagles vs. Jackrabbits: Honest, the Georgia Southern Eagles travel to Brookings, South Dakota (“The Home Of Endless Opportunities”) to play South Dakota State. In case you were wondering, they have a Perkins, Burger King, Quiznos, Ram & O’Hares, and a Zesto. The Jackrabbits play at the Cereal Bowl. I am not making that up. I think if Georgia Southern can ignore all of the bright lights of Brookings, they should be able to win this game. GSU wins.
