This Week's Picks

As you may have noticed, This Week’s Picks always includes a Division Three Game of The Week because there is a gold mine of colleges out there that have a football program for no apparent reason.

The players for these teams receive no athletic scholarships and are considered by the college to be students, of all things.  All of the bells and whistles that the BCS schools have are no where to be found. It takes commitment to play for these schools because you are just another college student to them-not the demi-gods that stroll the major universities.

This Saturday may be the last organized football game our old buddy Cole Rudder will play. I say “may be” because his school, Birmingham-Southern College, could possibly go to the Division Three playoffs if they defeat Millsaps College.  Cole has played organized football since 2002 and was one of the great Kennesaw State Mustangs, along with the greatest 5^th string wing back ever, BEN MANIS #38.

Cole had a good career at Birmingham-Southern. He was injured last year and missed most of his junior season, but he was able to come back for his senior year. 

So, here’s to you Cole Rudder: Congratulations! 

This Week’s Picks!

Big Dawgs vs. Tiger Eagles of War:  UGA got a scare last week with Ole Mess, but came back to win easily. That won’t happen this week because Auburn is just counting the days before they fire Chizik and hire Lil’ Nicky (Bobby Petrino).  You can tell Coach Mark Richt is taking this game seriously, because he is spending time diagramming his swing set injury from years ago. Georgia wins.

 The Future Head Coach of The Auburn Tigers

Wrecked vs. Heels of Tar:  As it was pointed out to me last week by reader Ron “Tiny” Bond: I picked Maryland to defeat Tech even though they were starting their fifth string quarterback, who is either linebacker or cheerleader. I have just lost all confidence in Tech. North Carolina  wins.

Ags vs. Bam: The only thing worse with Alabama being the number one team in College Football is the simple fact that they are the number one team in College Football. Texas A & M is a good team, and their quarterback is good, but Bama is just better. Bama wins

This is the kid that gives Nick Saban nightmares

Messy State vs. Ellessyou:  LSU almost pulled off beating Bama last week, which means they are a very good team. Mississippi State got a can of whup-up opened on them last week. LSU wins.

Purple Wildcats vs. Aroused Lizards: Kansas State looks like it will be winner in the sweepstakes to play Bama in January. Untill then, they better enjoy their games like this one. KSU wins.

Georgia Southern vs. Howard: The Eagles lost a close one to Ap State last week, despite a week of great Tweets on Twitter. It is homecoming in Stateboro, which means the alumni will be coming back grateful that they no longer have to go to the Statesboro Wal-Mart.  Georgia Southern wins.
