Wow. Is it really October? Seems like yesterday I tuned into my friend Robert Becker’s radio station in Seymour, Indiana on September 1st when….every year…he plays Green Day’s “September”.
Just got back from a visit with our friends from New Hampshire. No, we did not go to Amherst Village. The Amherst folks are in our neighborhood this weekend. As always, it was delightful to see Bob and Michelle and the kids. Makes me homesick for New Hampshire. Carrie, my dear wife, and I enjoy that place. Perhaps we will head back there for a visit next summer. I can’t imagine otherwise.
On to the speaktherights.com College Football Predictions for Week#5.
Ohio State beats Indiana…I will be in Bloomington for this one. Oh how I hope I am so wrong. I was there in 1988 the last time the Hoosiers beat the Buckeyes. Should be a great atmosphere.
Iowa beats Swissconsin...my Iowa love knows no end. Looking forward to their Novemebr visit to Bloomington.
Northwestern will beat Minnesota…my affection for Goldy goes so far. Coach Fitz will have his Wildcats ready to go.
Michigan State beats Purdue…the question is…how bad? Sorry Pete.
Michigan beats Maryland…They didn’t move the kickoff up because of rain. They moved it up to get the misery over.
Alabama beats Georgia…Is this just for Brother Tim? No. Nick Saban will have his group playing inspired defense that will throttle Georgia enough to turn the Tide.
Duke beats Boston College…and David Cutcliffe continues to fly under the radar as one of the most impressive coaches this college game has ever seen.
Ole Miss will beat Florida…as long as they stay healthy…the sky is the limit with these Rebs.
Notre Dame beats Clemson…the rain will help the Irish.
UCLA beats Arizona State…the game of the week will be this one. The PAC 12 is fun to watch when Oregon is not running roughshod over everyone.
Have a great weekend. Next week we will tackle this political phenomena that is affecting high schools called “College-Career Readiness”. Semantics my friends, semantics.
I must say I am looking forward to this football weekend. My beloved North Harrison Cougars have a chance to go 7-0 with a win over Silver Creek. I hope the Hoosiers play well against Ohio State. I am going to the game with my brother-in-law, Stevarino. He loves his Hoosiers. This must be an important game. I had tickets to watch the Marshall Thundering Herd this weekend and I am going to Bloomington instead. These are truly strange times. To quote Verno from Stand By Me: “This is a really good time.”
