This Week's Picks 11

 

Last week, we moved our clocks back an hour.  I really don't know why. 

We got the hour we lost last spring but now it is pitch black at 6:30.  It is darker outside than at midnight. That doesn't make any sense to me. One of my wife's colleagues lives in Massachusetts and she said it is pitch black at 4:45. 

No wonder people get depressed in the winter, there's no sunlight.

The latest thing in social media is to tell everybody how the time change messed up your pets.  The dog doesn't understand why the food bowl is early, like the dog understood time.  I've been around for a while and I've never heard anybody mention how their dog just can't understand how it can be dark at 6:30. 

I've have this theory that when you get past Halloween (we had only 7 kids show up) and the World Series, time really flies. Before you know, we are singing "Auld Lang Syne" (meaning: "People will sing anything") and we are welcoming in the New Year.  The time change just accelerates it. 

That's nothing to young people out there, but when you reach my demographic ("The Reverse Mortgage Demographic") it is something.

This Week's Picks!

 

 

 

 

Jawja vs Rocky Topped  To be honest, this is the only game I'm worrying about for Georgia until the SEC Championship.  This game is their Super Bowl, World Series, and Christmas for Tennessee, all wrapped into one game.  They have been playing better. But Georgia is still the best team in The SEC.   Georgia wins.

 

 

Bumbles vs A College In Boston   I don't know what to think about the Bumbles. I pick them to win, they lose.  I pick them to lose and they lose.   Boston College has a better record than Tech but they are stinking it up in the Conference too.  I've done all I can do for Tech. I just wonder how long Coach Geoff will be able to get by without winning.   Boston College wins

 

 

Oh You vs Baptist Bears   This ought to be a good game. I'm not buying all of the hype around the Bears.  They always lose when they need to win. They'll lose this one. Sooners win,

 

 

 

Messy State vs Tiger Eagles  A game between two teams that look good one minute and bad the next. Auburn had a chance last week to maybe, possibly be the only obstacle in the way between Coach Satan and Atlanta.  I just don't trust Bo Nix.  Upright Bulldogs win.

 

 

 

Ags vs Ole Mess Talk about what could have been.  Texas A&M  could have won the SEC West. There's still a possibility if they beat Ole Miss and Auburn beats Alabama. Would you like your fate in the hands of Auburn?  Oh well, Ole Miss has a good airhead quarterback, but The Aggies are just a better team.   Aggies win.

 

 

Kennestate Saw vs North Bama    My Beloved Owls face the University of Northern Alabama which is in Florence, Alabama, which is near Muscle Shoals where they used to make a lot of records  Their website says "For over 185 years, the University of North Alabama has been a place where students can find out who they are. UNA has it all -- here you'll find artists, entrepreneurs, scientists, educators and even a few famous faces. Our location provides unique opportunities not found everywhere else."  For the record, they do not provide what unique opportunities are there or what sort of famous face you'll find.  Goober from "The Andy Griffith Show" went there. Really.  Owls win
