This Week's Picks

 

 Welcome to another year of our favorite professional sport, College Football!

There's been a couple of exciting developments in the off-season like  "Name, Likeness, And Image " (NIL)policy , in which the NCAA allows a player to be paid by a third party for his name, likeness, and image.  This means all of the hoop-de-do players will be paid by corporations instead of receiving their cash under the table as God intended.

The second development has been the expansion of The SEC to include Texas, Oklahoma, the Atlanta Falcons, the Memphis Grizzlies, the Nashville Predators,  and the Miami Marlins.  

How these will effect college football, we don't know. We do know you will probably have Alabama, Clemson, and Ohio State in the Playoff.  The fourth team will be either Notre Dame, LSU, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, or Kennesaw State University .

 

 This Week's Picks!

 

Jawja vs Clem- This is a big deal game. So big it has to be played in Charlotte.  Clemson lost their hippie quarterback to the NFL draft but his replacement. D.J. Uiagalelei is supposedly on the Heisman Watch despite having only three consonants in his last name.  Great.  I really want Georgia to win because I want Georgia to win.  I'm picking Clemson so the Manis Jinx will claim its first victim.  Clemson wins!

 

 

 

Bees vs Northern Directional University of Illinois:This is Coach Geoff's third season and this is usually when the natives get restless and want to see some wins.  This is a game they'll want to see Bumbles win. They will.  Tech wins. 

 

Bamy vs U:  Several years ago, this would have been one of those games people would talk about forever.  I listened to a podcast in which the ESPN guys were really pumping Miami up.  I'm not buying it.  Alabama is precisely what they are: the best team in College Football right now as of this moment.   Bama wins

 

 Indiana Wants Me vs  I Owe Wha: Indiana was a surprise team last year because everybody thinks of them as a basketball school. Iowa is the same middle-to-good team whose uniform sort of reminds me of the Pittsburgh Steelers.  I'm going with Indiana.  Indiana wins, I guess.

Heels Of Tar vs Gobblers   Yikes! Another ACC game in the picks!  It looks like Mac Brown has brought the Tar Heels back to being the best football team in North Carolina. They still put mustard on their BBQ, like heathens.  North Carolina wins.

Ahia State vs Minisoda I have never liked Ohio State. I never liked Woody Hayes. I'm not sure what a Buckeye is.  Minnesota is a good team, darn tootin' but geez Louise, they're not Ohio State.  Ohio State Wins.

Some Other Bulldogs vs The Impaired Eagles Of Statesboro: Georgia Southern (school motto:  "Pop A Top Again") has been playing some pretty entertaining football over the past couple of seasons.  They start the 2021 campaign against Gardner-Webb University  (school motto:  "Hey My Niece Goes There").  Gardner-Webb's team is called "The Running Bulldogs", which sounds better than "The Standing Around Bulldogs"  or "The Jogging Bulldogs" or  "The Bulldogs That Hog The Elliptical At The Gym".    Georgia Southern wins.

 

My Beloved Owls vs Reinhardt  The FCS, due to COVID-19 (which has been in all of the papers) played games this past spring.  The Owls were 5-1, pretty good for such an odd season.  They begin this season against their Cherokee County neighbors,  Reinhardt University which is in Waleska, Georgia. Waleska has an estimated population of 964 people. Reinhardt is the chief business. My Beloved Owls win.
