This Week's Picks!

Here it is: Halloween! In the olden days (cue fiddles playing “Red River Valley”), that meant the Major League Baseball season had been over for a couple of weeks. Now it means we are in the middle of the World Series.

Now that my son, the formerly great 38, is off at college doesn’t mean we can’t relive Halloween memories like the time his costume was “The Man with No Face” and one of our neighbors called him Darth Vader. Or his “Man with a Baseball Sticking in His Eye” (followed, of course, by the November 1st visit by “Men from DEFACS”)

I remember being “Casper the Friendly Ghost” once for Halloween. Casper was either, “the friendliest ghost you know” or “the friendliest ghost, you know?” Were there other types of ghosts like “Marvin, the Moody Ghost”, or “Eugene, The Annoying Snort through His Nose When He Laughs Ghost”?

This week’s picks!

The World’s Biggest Substance Abuse Social: UGA and Florida play their annual “big” game, which, over the past twenty years, haven’t been that big for the puppies. The Gaters aren’t winning people over with style points, they are just winning. They’ll win again.

Just Buzzing Along: Tech took care of Old Viginny last week. Saturday, they’ll scrimmage against Vanderbilt. If this was an English test, I’d go with Vandy, since it is football, Tech rambles on. Tech wins.

Win One For Pee-Paw: The Werewolves of Raleigh travel to FSU to give the old man the pleasure of whopping up on them.Dag gum. FSU beats N.C. State.

What Will Lane’s Excuse Be This Week? I believe Tennessee has hopped over UGA as the number two team in the East for the future. But, Lane, dude, you’ll never make it in the SEC if you have stroke after every loss. Bamy didn’t win because of the officials. Missing some field goals might have something to do with it. You’re making the South Carolina coach look almost Presidential. Anyway, I’m picking the Chickens. Lane’s Excuse will be: “The Officials are Gay”.

Game I Won’t Watch Because Of “The Office”: North Carolina travels to play the Turkeys on the Thursday Night Game of The Week. No contest: Virginia Tech wins.

The Hey Man Bowl: USC vs. Oregon. The Ducks are having a pretty good season, but this is USC. Could USC have a two loss season? Yep, they will. Oregon wins.
