It's my 100th post and in honor of this monumental achievement, I want to say thanks to any and everyone who reads this stuff. I'm trying to prove you can still rock in America and you are the wind beneath my wings. You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream, and I throw my hands up in the air sometimes saying, a-o.
On another note, I had this visual of what life would be like when my kids started school. I had visions of learning and laughter. That visual is not even close to the reality. It's really more like crying with a bad case of food poisoning while sitting on a chair filled with thumbtacks. It's similar to the friend of mine who romanticized mother hood and thought it would be like one of those images in the J Crew catalog. You know the ones I am referring to... A tall, lanky lady is standing in a field, with long lush tendrils wearing a crisp white shirt, while holding the hand of her cherubic child who is dressed in smocked dress with a daisy in her hair. What you can't see in the picture is the giant bird flying overhead that is about to massive and colossal crap on everyone. Enough of that. On to football...
I hate to brag but SHAZAAM! I got all 7 picks correct last week (take that Game Day) and I didn't pick the cupcakes. Actually, I would always love to pick a cupcake, but I'm just not ready to resign myself to a life in muumuus. As we all know, lightening doesn't strike twice unless you super glue your self to a metal pole in Oklahoma, so I'm prepared to miss big this week. However, the game quality this week is not exactly stellar artois, so coming up with 7 games was difficult.
Notre Dame at Michigan St-Did everyone hear? Notre Dame has joined the ACC but remains an independent with football and hockey. They should just go ahead and join the mediocrity of the ACC football. Someone told me Michigan State may be the best team in the Big 10. Wow. That's really saying nothing. However, I think Sparty will prevail against ND.
USC at Stanford-I saw an interview with Lane Kiffin the other day and the man doesn't look a day over 12. When he is sitting in the living room recruiting the high schoolers, the parents probably ask him when he will be old enough to get his learner's permit not realizing he's the coach there to bamboozle their kid. PAC whatever number they are now football is great, because defense is something that goes up around the back yard pool. Even when 35 seconds remain, both teams have plenty of time to score at least twice. Pan to the song girls...Trojans
Florida at Tennessee- Tennessee is off to a good start and Flo-rida looks a bit shaky. (Btw, I had a couple of classes with Will Muschamp at UGA. He had the same hair.). This has all the makings for Derek Dooley to finally have a solid win behind him with "Rocky Top" playing in the background and Smokey baying on the sidelines. I'm supposed to pick the Vols but I gotta go with the reptiles in a squeaker.
ULM at Auburn-Look at ULM making sooey out of the Razorbacks. Normally I wouldn't pick a game with ULM but based on the fact that they knocked the #8 team out of the top 25, I want to give them their day in the sun.....just like a lizard. Will they knock out 2 SEC teams in 2 weeks? Mmmmm bop....I'll take Auburn
VA at GT-The Cavs managed to eek out an ugly win against Penn State last week. I bet they sent Penn State's kicker a gift card and a bottle of Arbor Mist after the game to thank him for all of those missed field goals and the extra point. GT beat Presbyterian which was misspelled on the ticker. Yeah, I'm a stickler for stuff like that on websites and news sources but not this blog. Jackets get the "W"
Navy at Penn State-Let's hope this doesn't come down to a field goal. Penn State should win this but I'm going to support the armed forces, even though I have no idea how they are playing this year. A few good men in a close one.
North Carolina at Louisville-Butch Davis really tried to put the dagger in the fuze-ball program at UNC. The Cards gained some traction under the notorious Petrino (I'm still waiting for his sit down with his wife on Real Sports. He will hold his wife's hand and talk about how hooking up with a 26 year old chick strengthened his marriage while Bryant Gumble looks disdainfully at him over his glasses). Louisville is now strong (ha) again thanks to a former Gator named Charlie. Actually, I think the gator in that cartoon Maizy is named Charlie as well. (My 2 year old loves Maizy and Charlie) Sorry, I digress. Are you kidding? This is a no-brainer. I'm taking anyone that plays in a stadium named after food. Papa Johns, baby.
I just realized that I probably should log in to my FF teams so I actually have a chance to post a victory. Pro picks up tomorrow. GO DAWGS!
