“Well folks, it’s hard to believe it’s that time of year again. You know what I’m talkin about too - lots of grilled and fried food, not to mention a few pints of the good stuff to wash it down with. Last year this fearless prognosticator was takin a little tour of the B&Bs up the Appalachian trail, but we’re back with a vengeance. Or something. On to this week’s picks…”
Check out Fearless Prognostications - a site run by a good Southron friend of mine. If you like your football southern fried and funny check this out. Don’t count on accuracy, though, there is a distinct bias for Alabama.
Here is how he describes the three games I care about:
Georgia Tech at Notre Dame: The Bumble Bees travel to Catholic Country for a little excitement in the midwest. The Catholics have “disguised” the season opening quarterback to throw off the opponent. Yeah that works. Sounds like Weis doesn’t know who to start. Fortunately for them, the Bees are still the Bees. Expect a valiant effort, and a strong bourbon. Catholics 22 Bees 16
Tennessee at California: It’s a little bit country meets a little bit of rock and roll. Or more likely, it’s Hillbillies and Techies meet in Berkeley. Talk about a gatherin. It’s a bit like a wedding between ugly people. You’re happy for them, but jeez, please don’t have kids. The Golden Bears - and we’re not talking about a six-pack of Jack Nicklaus - were spanked by the Davy Crockets last year in Knoxville. Don’t expect a repeat. The nerds have been workin on this plan all summer. The Fulminator could slide right into the hot seat. Bears 20 Crockets 19
Idaho at Southern Cal: The Trojans are very good. The Potatoes are not. Pass the pepper, a glass of vino, and don’t forget to get to your seat quickly before the reserves come in. Trojans 95 Spuds 10
