This Week's Picks

More news from the (soon to be mighty) Kennesaw State Owls: the students have voted for a $100 per semester fee increase to start up the Football Owls. This means alumni, such as your humble scribe, will soon be receiving fundraising mail. I’m not giving a cent unless the stadium is named: Alan Manis Rockin’ Good News Field. [People will say, "Let's go to The Al to watch The Owls"]

This comes on the heels of the Kennesaw State Men’s basketball team defeating Georgia Tech on Tuesday night. Kennesaw State defeating Georgia Tech is kind of like me defeating George Clooney in a Sexiest Man Alive contest.

My hero, Jeff Schultz of The AJC, posted on Facebook about The Owls victory. I wrote: “All I can say is HOOT, HOOT”. He replied, “Now there is something you don’t hear everyday”. Well get used to it, buddy. The Hooters are here to stay. Maybe that didn’t come out right.

This week’s picks!

The Other GSU vs. Bama: The last time Bill Curry coached in Tuscaloosa, the fine scholars of Alabama threw a brick at him. Maybe it was grenade. In any event, Curry brings the Georgia State Panthers in their first season to play Bama. I’m praying nobody is hurt, killed, maimed, or decapitated. Bama wins.

The Werewolves of Raleigh vs. The Heels of Tar: Considering most of their team was suspended for various reasons, North Carolina hasn’t done too badly. NC State, an employer of one my nephews, has played well this year. I hate to do this to you, Jonathan. NC State wins.

Appy State vs. The Sad Gators: This is a sneaky game. Appy would love to beat Florida. I just don’t think they will. Florida wins.

Dookie vs. Dookie: Georgia Tech is fighting for the right to party—in Shreveport or the awful San Francisco Bowl. Tech should win this one. They will. Tech wins.

Piggies vs. Other Dogs: Yuck. I hate this. Pigs will win.

Wesconson vs. Meechigan: Michigan has a Cam Newton Jr. at quarterback while Wisconsin is like the Michigan of old. I didn’t like what they did to Indiana last week. I’m taking a point off for poor sportsmanship. Wisconsin wins.

Old Mess vs. Went In Dumb-Come Out Dumb Too: Last year, LSU lost the game because the coach forgot how to tell time. This year LSU could show up late and still win the game. LSU wins.

Georgia Southern vs. Furman: Our FCS schedule closes with The Eagles defeating Furman leaving GSU with a 7-4 record. Eagles win.
