Wow. I still say it…wow. That was my reaction when I heard that the North Harrison Cougars Boys Basketball team had taken care of business against Brownstown Central at Braveville last night. 52-51 in OT. Wow. Fantastic. Great job!
As many of you know, on Wednesday it was announced that The Moody Blues will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 14th. Better late than never, I say. I appreciate the emails and text messages I have received from folks I don’t hear from often telling me they heard the news. Now, go listen to The Moody Blues.
Tis the season. Time for the speaktherights.com College Football Bowl Prediction Extravaganza! It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
The overall record for the season is a respectable 120 winners and 47 losers. The bowl picks are what I usually really screw up. We’ll see what happens.
New Orleans Bowl: North Texas beats Troy…The Mean Green have had a tough plight in Texas and they will shine.
Cure Bowl: Western Kentucky beats Georgia State and it is ugly.
Las Vegas: Oregon beats Boise State…New coach for Oregon might help team rise up.
New Mexico: Marshall beats Colorado State…The Herd farted at the end of the year. 7-5…they win if they show up.
Camellia: Arkansas State beats Middle Tenn. State U. Camellia, Pansy, whatever bowl.
Boca: FAU beats Akron…and to think I will actually watch this.
Frisco: La. Tech beats SMU and I am saved by a Christmas Party!
St. Petersburg: Temple beats FIU
Bahamas: Ohio beats UAB and they all get a tan.
Idaho Potato: Wyoming beats Central Mich. and I hope it snows.
Birmingham: South Florida beats Texas Tech…Charlie Strong has done a good job with the Bulls.
Armed Forces: San Diego State beats Army as SDS finds the Army runners and tackles them early.
Dollar General: Bargain Bowl Baby…Toledo beats App. State. Bet the Pop is more than a dollar at the concession stand.
Hawaii: Houston beats Fresno State and will be glad to be there to eat Pineapples.
Heart of Dallas Bowl: Opposed to Kidney of Dallas Bowl but give them time…WVU beats Utah and Rodeway Inn couches better beware of becoming flammable.
Quick Lane: Duke beats Northern Illinois. I called the ticket office to ask about kickoff time and the lady asked what time we could be there.
Cactus Bowl: Kansas State beats UCLA and it hurts me.
Independence Bowl: Southern Miss beats Florida State like Brett Favre was there again.
Pinstripe Bowl: Iowa beats Boston College and it will be one of the best bowl games to watch.
Foster Farms: Purdue beats Arizona. Boilers act like Minnie Pearl before the game then turn on the heat with a passing game that will wrinkle and dazzle.
Texas: Texas beats Mizzou. Texas Bowl, Texas, I see a pattern here.
Military Bowl: Navy beats Virginia. I originally had UVA. We’ll see.
Camping World: VA Tech beats Oklahoma State and I have been called nuts for calling this one.
Alamo: Stanford beats TCU in a very entertaining game as the Alamo Bowl usually is.
Holiday: Washington State beats Michigan State…great match-up and WSU passing will confuse Sparty a bit. Traditional favorite to watch.
Belk: Reminds me of Burp…Texas A&M beats Wake and has more fans in Charlotte than the Demons do.
Sun: A bowl I would like to attend one day with the right match-up and this ain’t it…NC State beats Arizona State…Go Pack!
Music City: Kentucky beats Northwestern…don’t ask me how…they just will.
Arizona: Mew Mexico State in their first bowl game since 1960 and only their 4th bowl ever beats Utah State…Aggie Bowl.
Cotton: Now we are getting somewhere…USC beats Ohio State and Sam Darnold looks great.
Gator: Louisville beats Mississippi State…No cowbell can stop Lamar Jackson.
Liberty: Memphis beats Iowa State in another home game.
Fiesta: Washington beats Penn State in a close one…just changed my pick.
Orange: Miami beats Swissconsin…Shred that cheese!
Outback: Michigan beats South Carolina…and Harbaugh will find something else yet to complain about. When he decides to coach more and complain less, look out for the Wolverines. Until then, he won’t be acting like a Michigan man we expect.
Peach: UCF beats Auburn in a Scott Frost farewell party.
Citrus: LSU beats Notre Dame…talk about a good one on New Year’s Day. Classic.
Rose Bowl Playoff Semifinal: Georgia beats Oklahoma…not a Big Ten or Pac 12 team in sight. Tragedy.
Sugar Bowl Playoff Semifinal: Alabama beats Clemson…Tide Rolls.
CFP Champs: Alabama beats UGA. The Master outlasts the pupil.
Have a Merry Christmas Everyone.
I have been working on some other writing and I hope to get back to speakingtherights.com a little more often in the New Year!
Love one another.
