This Week's Picks-Week Two

 

 

 Here's what we learned last week.

Clemson is not Clemson. At least at the moment.   I am trying to remember the last time Duke beat Clemson.  I mean Duke. Really?! In football?

Florida looked bad. South Carolina looked bad. LSU looked bad.

But nobody looked as bad as TCU.  

The last time we saw the Frogs, they were stomped by the Dawgs.  Last week, they laid an egg against Colorado.  

It wasn't a little egg. It was an incredible egg against a team that won only one game last year. 

That was before Deion came to town. I'm not sure exactly what he did except run everybody off the team and bring in his own guys, which will probably be the paradigm in the future with the way the transfer portal is.

Being from Atlanta, I'm well acquainted with Deion and his humongous ego.  However, he was an incredible athlete and looks to be on his way to being a remarkable coach.

This Week's Picks.

 Jawja vs. David Letterman University:  According to people who watched the UGA game last week, the Dawgs looked slightly off. Well, as much as off as you can look, winning 48-7. This week finds UGA playing Ball State, David Letterman's alma mater, in case you wondered about my joke name.  UGA wins.

 

 Bumbles vs. Upright Bulldogs of South Carolina. I watched a little of the Tech-Lousiville game. I thought Tech was going to win it. They finally have a quarterback and a tight end who was UGA's fourth-string tight end last year. Anyway, and stop me if you have heard this before: Tech lost. They won't this week.  Tech wins.

 

Texsass vs. Bamy.  Last year, Alabama went to Austin and almost lost. This ain't last year. I don't think Alabama will have any problems. Bama wins.

 

 

 Austin Peay vs. Rocky Topped. Austin Peay has a great cheer. It is: Go Peay (of course, you have to know "Peay" is pronounced "Pee" to get the joke.) Well, they are playing Tennessee and may get the do-do knocked out of them.  Tennessee wins.

 

 

 Our Lady vs. Werewolves of  Raleigh.  The computers give Notre Dame a 78.4 percent chance to defeat North Carolina State. These are the same computers that predicted a President Hillary Clinton. Not really. But could have been.  I hate to do this to the Wolfpack, but The Fighting Irish win.

 

 

 Birmingham vs. Gnatville University  UAB travels to Statesboro to play the Partying Eagles of Georgia Southern.  Georgia Southern University (motto: It's Five O'Clock Somewhere) is still dealing with the death of Jimmy Buffett, but they will somehow defeat the Dragons of UAB.  Eagles win.

Beloved Owls vs. Mocs.  My Beloved Owls travel to Chattanooga to play the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (motto:  "Just tell 'em you went to Tennessee-they won't know the difference".) No word, at press time, if the team bus will stop at Buckee's on the way to Chattanooga.  Owls win.
