FB friends dwindle and picks for the week

So, I have written 2 quasi serious blog posts but I have not hit publish. Not sure if I am ready for serious...yet. I mean, I don't want to appear as if I am prepping for an episode of Dr. Phil.  As a side note, I wonder if there is a  double secret hiding place tally of people of peeps who unfriend you on FB? If so, I may be winning. I try to avoid anything too serious on FB, but alas, you can't please everyone. Maybe I have cooties? I'm just not that hip as a grownup as I am surrounded by Bieber, iCarly and Victorious Jackson talk. Not to mention, US Weekly isn't exactly Pulitzer prize winning material so my brain doesn't always process serious matters as well as it once did. Scratch that. I decide what I want to process at this point.  Sigh.  I guess I will just feel the way I did when I was 13. When I am down to 1 "friend", I will just have to like everything I say. Mwack mwack mwack. Was that a mini pity party? Where were the chip and margaritas?

It's a big week in football! The game of the century occurs this weekend when wacky Les Miles faces off against the stern face of Nick Saban. Mmmmm. More on that later.

South Carolina at Arkansas-Darth Visor heads to Woo Pig Sooey. I don't know what to think of either. Hogs or Gamecocks. SEC teams have some wacky mascots, eh? I say the Hogs wallow out the win 21-17.

Virginia at Maryland-The Cavs are on a roll and have knocked off GT and da U. However, in typical ACC form, they will lose unexpectedly. Maybe Maryland will blind them with this week's hideous get up. Perhaps they line up real turtles with checker boards painted on their shells at the line of scrimmage? Terps protect a house made of cards in an upset 24-20

Notre Dame at Wake Forest-Notre Dame hasn't been anything to watch since Brady Quinn (aka BQ) left. He was their equivalent to Sunshine in "Remember the Titans"...Haute! Neither team is predictable or reliable, but let's go with the Demon Deacons in this  "defense will be absent during roll call" match up. WF-38 ND- 35

Kansas State vs Oklahoma State-The Cowboys will lose to someone (yes, I am well aware the other Cowboys have lost to several people this season), but I say they survive a close one. The great thing about the game is that there will be multiple players named Gunner, Shooter, Wyatt, and Dusty playing. Cowboys 35 K State 24

****Game of a lifetime according to prognosticators at ESPN*** LSU vs Alabama-Everything should tell you to pick Alabama as they are at home and it "feels" like they should win. But never count those wacky Bayou Bengals out of a game. However, they also can't be trusted which you should know if you have ever watched an episode of "Fatal Attractions" on Animal Planet. The camera will pan to those twins in the Bear Bryant hats but I think LSU squeaks out the win 17-14.

And finally,  I enlisted the help of my 6 year old with this next pick. UGA takes on New Mexico. I asked my Fi-nom what she saw in store for the Bulldogs with a depleted back field due to some failed tests. (I didn't get into specifics). And this is what she sees for them after "Losing Isaiah" the Bulldog version...

Yes, that's us making the "W" not the "U" sign. The baby was adding some background commentary and the dog was just hoping for crumbs to drop. We have an industrial size garbage can for all to see. And yes, I am wearing a crown along with our best, "Shiny, Happy People" faces (key up REM). We keep it real!
