This the sight we woke up to this morning.  School was cancelled today.  That was a good thing.  Carrie, my dear wife, and I were able to spend some time with my Granny.

Granny is still here.  She is weak.  She can put two or three words together. Those words are rare.  She is confined to her bed.  Thankfully, she is still at home.  That is the plan.  Never have I ever seen such a combination of toughness, stubbornness, grace, and dignity.  As much as I hate to let her go…I am ready when she is.  She is a great inspiration.  I am a blessed grandson.

Granny is not asking about football games anymore.  I miss that.

This past weekend I got back in the game in a big way picking the winners and losers.  Had Notre Dame played like they want to be there, I would have been 10 and 0 this weekend picking college football games.

The Northwestern Wildcats beat Notre Dame.  They earned it.

I finished this past Saturday with 9 winners and 1 loser.  I hated to see Duke get beat.  I was afraid they would.  I hope they bounce back against UNC on Thursday night.  Talk about a short road game for the visitor.

So far this year at speaktherights.com we have picked 92 winners and 28 losers.

My friends in Morgantown have no doubt emptied the local supply of lighter fluid.  They look to burn a great many couches this week.  They will be hosting the WIldcats of Kansas State on Thursday night.  The moon shine business loves weekday games in West Virginia.

Oh, by the way, THE HERD is undefeated.

Speaking the rights.
