Last night I attended a high school football game that was a great thing to witness. The Brownstown Central Braves defeated the Southridge Raiders by a score of 50 to 14. Fantastic. It was a good thing. I got to see old friends. Jerry Brown, my childhood buddy, is coaching again and his Braves just flat shelled the corn. I saw Harv Brown and many others. The Braves came to play. The Raiders were like deer in the headlights on one hoof.
Speaking of wow. I got word that the North Harrison Lady Cats beat Jeffersonville last night. The score? 27-25. Someone held the ball. Earlier in the week, the Lady Cats scored 100 points. It must have been a nail biter. This is a portent of another memorable season.
On to College Football Predicitons Week # 10
Notre Dame beats Navy…I have no doubt that Notre Dame will win this. I have been wrong before. Coach Brian Kelly’s days may be numbered. They don’t look like a Notre Dame that gets the respect you expect for a Notre Dame team.
Ole Miss beats Georgia Southern…I went back and forth via text with a Mississippi cousin. He hopes the Rebs decide to tackle today.
Indiana beats Rutgers…The Hoosiers need to win this and beat Purdue and they have a good chance to go to a Toilet Bowl…but that is better than no bowl at all.
Louisville beats Boston College…a trip to Chestnut Hill can be tricky. Might be a bit brisk this morning in Mass.
Auburn beats Vandy…Of course they do.
Georgia Tech beats North Carolina…This is a stretch. I know the Tar-folk expect to win this one. A running game in November is a special thing.
Minnesota beats Purdue….The Gophers are having a good season. The Big Ten/Fourteen is a better place when Goldy is strong.
Michigan beats Maryland….How many points will Michigan score at home? Look out.
Virginia Tech beats Duke…I hate to make this call. You know I love the Dukies.
South Carolina beats Mizzou…the Gamecocks are on the rise.
Marshall beats Old Dominion…Might not. The Herd is not having a memorable season. The loss to Charlotte at home may be a game they won’t recover from. I hope they win in Virginia today.
Kentucky beats Georgia…It is November and the Cats are looking around and saying “Who, us?” Yes, you. The Wildcats matter in November for the first time in the Cable TV era.
USC beats Oregon…The Trojans are finding themselves.
Happy November to you!
