My football picks went better last week. It felt good to see the Ole Miss Rebels win over Alabama. The Rebs aren’t chasing them anymore. That was two in a row. They might have to chase them next fall. One year at a time.
Last night it just hit me. Something hit me. Not sure where it came from. Just like writing a song and not knowing exactly where that comes from, I was hit with a bolt of something that told me I need to go back into the studio with my friend Jeff Carpenter at the control board. We’ll put together a room of musicians and I will have little business being in the room, even if they are my songs. I told Jefferson we will get together in December to do some demos and go from there in early spring. I am looking forward to it. Need to write some new songs though. Very exciting.
On to the speaktherights.com College Football predictions Week #4
Last week I got on track a bit. 11 winners and 4 losers. Bringing the season total to 31 winners and 14 losers.
This week…
Ga. Tech beats Duke…and it makes me sad.
LSU beats Syracuse… when I was a senior in high school a friend’s high school team played a team that beat them so bad, in the second half the first team came out in sweat pants. LSU may need their sweat pants.
Indiana beat Wake…I would like to be in Winston-Salem for this one. Mostly because it is just a few hours drive to the second home place. Really, the Hoosiers win this and go to 4-0 and then beat Ohio State next week. I called it first! If you were there in 1988 when A.T. scored 4 TDs on 190 yards you might believe too.
WVU beats Maryland...The couch burners have a crab boil in the Maryland boys’ honor. Lighter fluid will be at a premium in Morgantown this weekend.
Va. Tech beats East Carolina…and I hope I am wrong. Sorry Coach Ruffin.
UMass beats Notre Dame…the name is Blake Frohnapfel and this is the game that he has waited for his career long. He sat on the bench at Marshall behind Rakeem Cato. The irony there is that the record breaking Cato ( I like him!) is playing in Canada and Blake will be playing in a Super Bowl in less than eight years. This is the game UMass has waited for. The Domers will not be impressed with playing against the like of UMass after Rudy played on TV this week.
USC beats Arizona State…another upset, I think. ASU should be favored at home.
Alabama beats Northeast Louisiana…I know…they are now called the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks. They will always be the NLU Indians to me. Brother Tim will be at the game. Have fun, Brother Tim. Roll Tide.
Ole Miss beats Vandy…they better! That is all I will say.
Kentucky beats Mizzou…The Wildcats should have beat Florida last week. The offense needs to get off the pot (an old saying with nothing to do with marijuana).
Auburn beats Mississippi State….Is State still saying “Hail State!” They shouldn’t. Auburn players will play better just to keep coaches from chewing their butts!
Marshall beats Kent State…Go Herd or go home!
I would be remiss if I did not mention the fact that Fred Cowgill of WLKY Channell 32 in Louisville was at my school today. North Harrison High School was WLKY’s School of the Week. Our football team is looking to be 6-0 for the first time in school history and it should.
I quote Verno from the movie Stand By Me: “This is a really good time.”
Go Cougars!
