This Week's Picks Week Six

Just a quick opening.  I didn't post  This Week's Picks last week because my college roommate and all around best bud died last week and I was really bummed.  

It wasn't a surprise.  We've known since June that this day was coming. He had Pancreatic Cancer, stage four and it metastasized into his liver.  Pancreatic Cancer is one of those cancers they don't have a screening for and it is usually not found until it was too late.  And it was found too late for him

I just didn't want to talk about football

I used to talk to him about college football a lot.  His mom went to LSU and his sisters went to Southern Miss. He went for a job prospect in Fort Collins, Colorado and while they have Colorado State there, he said he didn't think he could live without the SEC.

The last time a saw him, we sat and watched some college football. It was the Saturday Alabama almost lost and App State beat Texas A&M. It was a good Saturday afternoon.

This Week's Picks

 

 

Jawja vs The WarTigers:  Well. There's no denying that while UGA still has a perfect record, they haven't looked very impressive in the past two weeks.  The almost lost to Missouri and while any team can beat any other team on any given Saturday, it shouldn't have been this close. In fact, you could almost hear the phone calls on "Dawg Talk".  "I'm gonna be the furst won to say it. Kerbee's gotta go. I'm gonna hang up and listen to yer answer."  Anyway, the Dawgs are playing Auburn Saturday and Auburn is a combination reality show-soap opera.  Dawgs win. 

 

 

 

Wrecked vs Dookie.   Lookie  here.  Tech won a game last week and they beat a pretty good team. Duke is 3-1 if that means anything. It doesn't.  I hate to do this, Bees, because y'all were doing so well. Tech wins.

 

 

 

Only Ten I See vs Ellesyou: This has the makings of a pretty good game. Tennessee, while not at the glory years level, doesn't stink.  LSU is trying to forget Coach O and the mess he left behind. The good people in Red Stick will like Coach Kelly if though he is not Cajun and doesn't know his boudin from a whole in the ground if he wins.  LSU wins 

Bamy vs Aggies:  You might remember Coach Satan and Coach Jimbobo had a spat about the NIL (Name-Image-Likeness) which means players can be paid. Jimbobo signed a bunch of 12 star athletes  while Satan signed a bunch of 12 star athletes and Satan thinks that Alabama is the only school that should sign all the good ones. The problem for A&M is that Alabama has a system and Jimbobo doesn't. Right now, Bama is the best team in College Football, again,  Bama wins

 

 

Ben-Ben's School vs My Cousin's School  One of the things I learned when my son matriculated at Georgia Southern is that Georgia Southern and Georgia State hate each other because they share the same initials: GSU. This one's for you, Ben-Ben.  Georgia Southern wins.

 

 

My Beloved Owls vs North Bama:  My beloved Owls are 1-3 and North Alabama is 1-3.  I'm not prejudice. Okay, just a little.  Owls win.
