This Week's Picks!

Well, I guess Georgia won’t have to worry about Tampa or Orlando this year. Maybe not even Nashville or Shreveport.

Last week, UGA suffered its worst loss in the Marc Richt era when it lost to Tennessee 40 billion to nothing.

It wasn’t that, but it felt like that. UT, which has seemed flat over the past couple of years, actually looked like a football team that cared on both sides of the ball. Who was that and what have they done to Jonathan Crompton? He had the best game of his life last week. The game is already being called “The Knoxville Knockout”, with good reason. It knocked out Georgia from Tampa and Orlando. I guess you can say the Dawgs will be home for Christmas and you can count on them.

This week’s picks!

Couldn’t Have Happened at a Better Time: Georgia vs. Vanderbilt. UGA needs to beat at least one team in Tennessee this year. Vandy had their one good year last year. Dawgs rebounds against the Commode-doors.

Can’t Pick A Loser In This Game: Georgia Tech vs Virginia Tech. The Bees beat Bobby’s Boyz last week. Va Tech has the ugliest uniforms this side of the Oregon Ducks. I’m tempted just to say “Tech wins” and leave it at that. I would like to think Buzz is better. I just don’t think they are there. Yet. The Hokies win.

Like I’m Supposed To Care: USC vs. Notre Dame. Yawn. USC is like a pro team. Our Lady needs overtime to beat Washington that beat….never mind. I still think USC is going to win.

Red River Hoop-De-Do: Texas vs. Oklahoma. Texas may or may not be the number two/three team in the nation. They slapped the Sooners silly last year. They will continue to slap. Texas wins.

Roll Chickens: Bama vs South Carolina. I’m almost ready to jump on the Bama band wagon, but they should have beat Ole Miss like the way Tennessee did UGA. South Carolina is better than they look, but they won’t be good enough. Bama wins.

Parents Weekend: Mrs This Week’s Picks and I are heading down to Statesboro (Home of Blind Willie McTell) for the Parents Weekend so we can hug and squeeze our little offspring that we saw..last week. Georgia Southern is playing the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Eagles win. GATA!
