There was a shrimp boat hauling in a catch this morning off Topsail Island. The shrimp are there to be found. So is the flounder. How do I know?
We had a fish fry two nights ago, Carrie, me, and my sister did. It was something to behold. Flounder, shrimp, hush puppies, and brussel sprouts. Amazing. Thanks to the folks at Thomas’ Fish Market for never letting us down. Thanks to Carrie for preparing the vittles like only she can.
A helicopter from Camp Lejeune gets in some hours. There were many air craft to be seen flying up and down the coast. There is a secure feeling there for sure.
As I type these words I am listening to Harv Brown and Richard Berry call the Brownstown Central-Silver Creek game. Both teams are 7-0. The game is on 96.3 WJAA, the empire of one Robert Becker. He is the best radio man alive. No score yet.
We move on to the 7th week of College Football. After a sluggish couple of weeks, I picked 11 winners and 3 losers last week. 58-26 is the record so far this year. Not very good at all.
Tomorrow I will be in the Joan C. Edwards Stadium to watch the Marshall Thundering Herd take on Old Dominion. I have never seen ODU. Add another one to the list.
Who wins this week?
Memphis beats Temple…The Tigers should win this and it will be entertaining.
Michigan beats Illinois…The Wolverines are not having a banner year.
Oklahoma beats Texas…What a classic contest.
Indiana beats Rutgers…The Hooisers needed a week off. Let’s hope they don’t need two.
Duke beats Georgia Tech…The Dukies let one slip by against Pitt last week.
Marshall beats Old Dominion…The Herd has struggled a bit this year. Look for a big offensive show for the boys in green.
Clemson beats Florida State…Tigers will score and score and score.
Ole Miss beats Mizzou…And yes, I am a Rebel homer.
Kentucky beats Arkansas…The Hogs are making Porky sad. Cats need this one.
Louisville beats Wake Forest…Why not? This is an upset but one of those games a pesky Louisville team can win with a turnover or two.
Iowa beats Penn State…Hawkeyes are at home and this will be fun.
Notre Dame beats USC…Shouldn’t we be playing this one in late November?
LSU beats Florida…A night game at LSU!
Washington beats Arizona…Gotta pick a west coast game too.
Score update Brownstown Central 14 Silver Creek 7 close to halftime.
My sincere regrets that the North Harrison Cougars are not playing a game tonight. Crawford County did not have enough players to participate. I am quite certain this is a first for North, having to win via forfeit due to the other team not showing up. I hate it. The players deserve to play games. Good luck to Crawford on getting things straightened out and taken care of.
That is that.
