This Week's Picks

 I'm back in The Blog!

Yes, after a real busy month, This Week's Picks returns to Humor Me  for the rest of the season.

Mrs. Blog and I went to New York City for a vacation. We went to The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and a taping of  "Live with Kelly and Ryan".   On the show that day was  Mark Feuerstein, who stars in a CBS sitcom called "9JKL". It is about a divorced man who moves into an apartment next door to his parents, Alice from the 70's TV show "Alice" and the original Trapper John.  I haven't seen it either.

The BIG star on the show was Tom Selleck.  If you were a young man growing into maturity in the early 80's, you wanted to be Tom Selleck for a day. Just a day. Can you imagine the women that threw themselves at Tom Selleck back then?  The ugliest would be described as F-I-N-E.

Yep, I took this picture.  Ryan needs to dress like a man.

Tom has aged gracefully, I guess.  He looked like he would rather be somewhere else than talking with Kelly and Ryan, but he still had that Tom Selleck charm.  He seemed like he could down a couple of Jack and Cokes, look you square in the eye and say, "Morgan Fairchild. Three times. Once in a Yugo".

Is There Anyone More 80's Than Morgan Fairchild?

This week's picks!



Big Bad Dawgs vs Illegal Gaming Chickens: Well, looky who is the number one seed (for now) in the FBS Playoff bracket! It is the Jawja Booldawgs! Sic em! Arf!  I mean, Bark.  Well, there's still a ways to go, but this season has been pretty kind to the Bulldogs.  South Carolina is a pretty good team (I'm not going to call them by their name because this is a family blog), but I just don't think they are as good as the Dawgs.  I can't help it,though, I still worry about them. It comes from years of watching Vince Dooley on TV when I was a kid.  The guys on Gameday would call this a "trap game".  There's nothing the Mighty Chickens would want more than to crush UGA's time in the sun. It won't happen.  UGA wins! 

Buzzed vs Same Old Virginny:  Flying under the radar of  UGA's season is Georgia Tech, which could have easily been 6-1 by now instead of 4-3. The Cavaliers are 5-3, but I'm not super impressed by them. The Bees are a much better team. Tech wins.

Illesyou vs Bamy:  Well, well. They were about to run Ed Orgeron out of Red Stick because he lost to Troy.  But, LSU has also beat Syracuse, which beat Clemson. Somehow, the Tigers have strung together some pretty good wins and are 6-2.   However, they are meeting 8-0 Alabama, which somehow is number two in the playoff bracket despite being number one in the country. Only in college football.  Do you know who is unhappy with the turn of events?  Could it be .....SATAN?  I'm pretty sure Coach Nick Satan is going to make sure they take out their frustations on LSU.  Bama wins!


 

Nick Is Not Happy

Other Tech vs Cutie Pie's New Team:  This just may be the best game of the weekend. Other Tech is 7-1 and Miami is 7-0.  Clay Travis wants Miami to play in the FBS Championship game and defeat UGA because what would be more "Georgia" than finally making it to the championship and losing to a Mark Richt coached team?  While that would be interesting, I think Other Tech is just a little bit better.  Hokies win!


Kennesaw State vs Montana State:  My beloved Owls, which, by the way, have entered the Top 25 in the FCS rankings, travel all the way to Bozeman, Montana to play Montana State.  The cheapest flight I found: $460.00. It takes 11 days to get there. You have stops in Birmingham, Montgomery, Salt Lake City, Honolulu, Portland (ME), and Minneapolis. I think you have to walk the last one hundred miles.  If you didn't know,  "Bozeman is a lively university town with a diverse choice of attractions and activities" according to the city of Bozeman's website.  I know it has an Outback Restaurant which is either the best or the worst restaurant in Bozeman, depending upon who you believe on Trip Advisor . The Montana State Bobcats are 4-4. The Owls are 7-1. The OWLS win (if not, then it will be a long trip home)
