For those of you that don't know, The World Headquarters of This Week's Picks is located in Marietta, Georgia, which is a Northwest suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, the home of the freakiest traffic in the world.
You may remember a few years ago, we had a sudden ice storm hit the area. I live about 15 minutes from my office. It took me eight hours to get home. And boy did I have to tee-tee.
Then last year, a part of Interstate 85, caught fire and collapsed. I have never seen an Interstate catch on fire. It was amazing. After the fire was put out, there was a big hole in the Interstate. However the most amazing thing about it was it was fixed in six weeks.
This week, we had cows.
That's right, cows. A truck carrying 89 cows flipped on the cloverleaf of I-75 and I-285, which if you know anything about North Metro Atlanta, is the center of the blessed universe.
Important note: this was the second time it has happened in Atlanta this year.
No bull.
Associated Press called it an "Udder Disaster".
At the end of the day, 87 of the cows had been accounted for. Ten of the cows were killed in either the initial wreck or they were hit by people who didn't expect to see a cow running around the Interstate.
Two cows are missing. I suggest they check at Chick-Fil-A.

This Week's Picks.
Bullydogs vs The Commode Doors: Georgia is playing another team located in Tennessee this weekend. This time it is Vanderbilt. It is one of those hoity-toity private universities that somehow is in the SEC and not in a lesser conference like the ACC. (I kid, I kid). Just so you know, the cost of going to Vanderbilt this year is $44,712.00 according to reliable sources (Google). By the way, at one time Vandy was going to change its team name from the Commodores to the Possums because they always play dead at home and get killed on the road! You've been great, be sure to try the veal and tip the wait staff. UGA wins!
Buzzed vs Lousyville: Our favorite Bumble Bee team won last week. For real. They scored more points than the other team and everything! They have a real good shot on getting their first conference win of the season against Louisville. In case you didn't hear, Louisville got beat by Florida State last week. That's not good. In case you don't have a life, this is the ESPN Friday Night Game. Tech wins!
Texsass vs Oooooooooooooooklahoma: Howdy, partner! It is time for the Red River Classic It is a big game because it is in Texas, etc. Oklahoma has a very, very good quarterback like last year, except this guy isn't a jerk. Texas started slow but looks like they are getting back to their same old annoying selves, which is good for college football. I think. I just don't think Texas is back yet. Oklahoma wins!
War Tigers vs Other Bulldogs: What do a tornado and a divorce in Auburn have in common? Answer: no matter what happens, someone is losing a trailer. Ha, that is just an example of the good humor Auburn has to put up with every year. This year, they've lost to LSU, which was probably like Armageddon Two Electric Boogaloo on the Plains. They can't afford to lose another SEC game. Meanwhile, Mississippi State. Lord. They already have two losses. Make it three. Auburn wins!
Ellesewe vs Reptiles: Hey Beaudreux! Les tigres sont plutot beaux. Ils sont classes 5 dans les derniers sondages. Au revoir Joe je dois y aller oh mon oh. Laissez le bon temp rouler! LSU wins!
Bammy vs Pigs: I just threw in this one because I needed another major college game. The question in this game: when does Jalen Hurts come into the game. My bet: midway through the first quarter. Bama wins!
My Beloved Owls vs Calvinist South Carolina College: The irresistible grace of Kennesaw, Georiga on a Saturday brings Presyberterian College to The Fifth Third and Half Metric Liter Quart Bank Stadium. Not tooting my alma mater's horn, but Kennesaw State is ranked number three in the FCS polls, right after North Dakota State and James Madison. All of this means it is predestined: Owls win!
