This Week's Picks and The Temple of Doom

Look, I didn't buy the hype for a minute.

I knew Georgia was going to lose to Alabama. Georgia always loses to Alabama. I think it is somewhere in the Bible that Georgia must lose to Alabama.

So it was a given that Coach Cutie Pie (Mark Richt) would have a terrible Monday, mainly because it was the day of his call in radio show. The blog, Dawg Nation reports this:

"A man, apparently a surgeon, called into Mark Richt’s radio show on Monday, saying he was a leader like Richt, only in the operating room. There are times, the man said, that he has a “complete debacle in my job,” just as Richt did on Saturday, forcing himself to ask what happened. So what questions, he wanted to know, does it force Richt to ask himself?"

The first question I would have asked: Why did I take this call?

 The second question I would have asked: Nobody, to my knowledge, has ever died during a Georgia debacle. How many have died during any of your debacles?

 The third question I would have asked: You realize that I am leading 18 to 22 year old nitwits in a game that is based on speed and strength while you are leading credentialed professionals trying to save a life?

This Week's Picks!

Water Logged Poochies vs Bad Orange:  This is a must game for both teams. Tennessee is one of those teams that would stop to help you fix a flat tire and somehow managed to set your car on fire. Meanwhile, Coach Butch Jones has supposedly hit a player causing one wit to call him "Rocky Top Balboa".  We learned that UGA is not First Class like Bama, but they sure ain't whatever class Tennessee is now. UGA wins.

Stung vs Good Orange: Lost in the UGA train wreck was the absolute cluster fudge Tech game. Tech lost another game they should have won which makes up for last year when they won games they should have lost. I was banned from watching the game by a certain reader who believes I cause Tech to lose by picking them to win. So, I picked them to lose last week and they still lost. For some reason, known only to Georgia Tech graduates, I am the reason Tech is losing. It has nothing to do with Coach Happy Gilmore's play calling or players that can't or won't tackle. You would think that reader would ban Tech and come over here to The Dark Side. We have cookies. Clemson beat Notre Dame and looked awesome sauce in doing it.  Clemson wins.

Went In Dumb Come Out Dumb Too vs The Cluckers: South Carolina couldn't stop Greyson Lambert. You think they can stop Leonard Fournette?  I'm not sure which coach is more insane: Les Miles or Steve Spurrier. I half way expect Spurrier to be in his robe and slippers by halftime. LSU wins.

I hate to say it but I love this man.

The Mighty Hooters vs The Pointers:  My beloved Kennesaw State Owls lost their first game to Dayton the other day. They have a chance of redemption in their first home coming game against Point University which is the alma mater of my niece. Really. Also, the President of Point University once threw me a game winning touchdown pass in a touch football game. Really.  Despite all of that, I must go with my beloved Owls. KSU wins. 

Bear Bryant once said that "emotion has little to do with winning, football games are won though preparation and mental toughness." Georgia players and fans are much like Auburn players and fans. They act and play as if they are still in high school. Acting like fools and taunting your opponents before games is usually a sure way to lose and lose badly.
