This Week's Picks

Oh well, another fall, another Todd Grantham acts like a baboon story.

Last week, the mighty Georgia Bulldogs traveled to Nashville, Tennessee to face off against Vanderbilt University. In the past, the match-up was a breather for Georgia because Vanderbilt is one of those hoity-toity schools that want smarty pants students like what’s on “The Big Bang Theory” rather than a winning football team.

Well, in this game, Georgia had to have what my buddy and expert Georgia alumni Nick Chafin calls “The Georgia Grease”. This means UGA had to get lucky to win. Against Vanderbilt.

The game ended and the head coach of Vanderbilt, who has definite short man syndrome, started hollering at a Georgia player and then Grantham runs over and F-Bombs the Vandy coach. On camera.

Maybe it is just me, but I can’t for the life of me imagine Vince Dooley running over to Bear Bryant dropping F-Bombs looking like he forgot all he learned in his anger management courses. Maybe it happened and because the way TV was back then, it wasn't shown . All I know is that Grantham’s boss (Mark Richt) described the behavior as “horse (poo)”. That's like seeing The Pope giving you the finger.

Wow, Grantham made Mark Richt cuss about a game at Vanderbilt. Good thing they have the week off.

This Week’s Picks!

Bees vs. The U: Speaking a bad day, Georgia Tech lost to a team that barely beat the Mighty Potatoes of Idaho. You can imagine how Coach Happy took it: blamed it on the players. Miami is an okay team, but I don’t think they can beat the Buzz. Bees win.


Heels of Tar vs. Clemmy: Besides Tech, the surprise team in The ACC is Clemson. North Carolina is just waiting on basketball season. Clemson wins.


Okie State vs. SEC Newbie: Oklahoma State really has one problem this season: it is in the same state as Oklahoma. Missouri is now the newest member of The Southeastern Conference despite the well known fact it is in the middle of the country. Cowboys win.

War Tigers vs. Ellessyew: Another week, another team for LSU to beat. Auburn is just waiting for the time when they move to The SEC East and dominate. As they say in the city of the Red Stick, “Laissez les bons temps rouler.” ("Quick, do you have the name of a good bail bondsman?") LSU wins.



Rocky Topped vs. Bamy: Another good buddy of mine, Terry McCoy, went to the LSU-Tennessee game last week and reports that a prayer was uttered over the PA before the game started. It still didn’t help Tennessee. As for this game, Tennessee needs all the prayers it can get. Bama wins.


Georgia Southern vs. Presbyterian College: Georgia Southern, home of The Pabst Blue Ribbon Laboratories of Excellence, face off against the frozen chosen of Presbyterian College. The motto of Presbyterian College is "Dum Vivimus Servimus" (“I stayed up until three playing Halo”). It also the home of “Cyrus the largest bronze statue of a Scotsman in the world”, just in case you were wondering where the largest bronze statue of a Scotsman was located. Despite this, Georgia Southern wins.


Louisiana College vs. Sul Ros State University: My dear other alma mater is playing a school where the second largest bronze statue of Scotsman is located. Sul Ross was named after the famous Texas governor, Rick Perry. The Wildcats win again.
