College Football Picks Week 2

Ladies and Gentlemen –

The first week of the 2015 College Football Season is behind us…

There is a lot to discuss before we get into this week’s picks

Well, unless you are Vanderbilt, Colorado, Kansas…..

But you get the picture

Let’s get to it

The Weekend Rewind…..

For the first week of the 2015 College Football Season….

Your Favorite College Football Prognosticator was 72 and 10 or 88%.

Sadly one of those losses was also the one game a week ago between North Dakota State and Montana, which I don’t want to talk about.

But I will say this….

It’s just a shame somebody had to lose that game.

Enough about that Battle in the Big Sky Country

It’s time for Week Two; buckle those chin straps tight…

CRIME ALERT

Please forgive this brief interruption, as I have just received an alert from the Knoxville Tennessee Sherriff’s Department that may have some effect on this week’s game with Oklahoma.

I was sent this “composite” drawing from the Sherriff’s Department sketch artist of three suspects in several bank robberies in the Knoxville area.

They are considered armed and semi-dangerous.

However I would say from the “sketch” below we are looking for…..

Katie Perry, E.T. and the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz

Please call the Knoxville Sherriff’s Department if you see the “suspects”

SOUTH GEORGIA FOOTBALL NEWS and VIEWS

Greetings from the Heart of SEC Country!!!
 
Well, the results weren’t so positive this week for the Road Warriors of Telfair. We came up on the short end of a 7-6 score in a no holds barred battle to the finish against the Trojans of Johnson County. We had some good plays on the defense but we just couldn’t generate enough offense for the Boys in Blue to take home the victory. Junior Cam Smith picked off an errant Johnson County pass and took it to the house to provide all of the scoring for the night for our Gladiators. I know Coach Burleson will get the boys ready for another non-region game on the road against Truetlan. But, one thing is certain, this edition of the Trojans packed the house down on South Third and gave the fans plenty to cheer about. Let’s head over to Soperton Friday night, pack THEIR house, and let those Vikings know that the Telfair Trojans are in town!!!
 
The weekend of Big Boy football got started on Thursday evening and saw the North Avenue Trade School start their season against the Braves of Alcorn State. The Bees scored early, often, and at times seemingly at will as they walked off of Historic Grant Field with a 69-6 victory and their first notch in the win column. Keep an eye on the Wreck this year, as many prognosticators have picked them as a dark horse candidate to take the ACC.

Fast forward to Saturday, as the home standing Canines of the Cow College entertained the Warhawks of Louisiana-Monroe in a contest that was marked by the introduction of a new interim UGA mascot by the name of Que and, more notably, by foul weather which shortened the game by over 9 minutes. But 51 one minutes was all these Red Clay Hounds needed as they took a bite out of the visiting birds by a 51-14 score. Nick Chubb and Keith Marshall each had 2 touchdowns and new QB Greyson Lambertt was a respectable 8 of 12 for 140+ yards in the passing department. The Mutts are currently holding the number 9 position in the National Polls as many have them pegged for the SEC East Champs and a date in the Conference Championship game.

In the meantime, up in Morgantown, West Virginia, the visiting Blue Birds of Prey weren’t so fortunate as they came up on the short end of a 44-zip score in a game that started out bad and went downhill from there. It was obvious that the Mountain Men were prepared for Coach Willie Fritz’s triple option attack but the Boys from the ‘Boro also stifled themselves as the Hill Dweller’s Karl Joseph had 3 of their 5 interceptions in the 44-0 route. And without Eagle’s starting QB Kevin Ellison, this was going to be a task of monumental proportions. But, not to fear, the Birds will regroup, head back to Statesboro, and welcome the Bucking Broncos of Western Michigan to the Prettiest Little Stadium in America in hopes of getting the season back on track and another shot at Sun Belt Supremacy.
 
Around the SEC there were some pretty big games mixed in with a batch of warm ups to keep our attention. The Pachyderms of Tuscaloosa took on the Furry Ferrets of Madison in the Big D in a game that looked close at first, and then went pretty much all Tide. The Plainsmen took on Bobby Petrino’s Red Birds in Atlanta and that one proved that the Cards weren’t intimidated to play a projected SEC frontrunner as the Kitties of Auburn had their hands full to the very end.

And a Border Brawl of the Carolinas started the season on Thursday as the Chickens of Columbia traveled to Charlotte and got all they could handle in a close win for the HBC over the Goats of Chapel Hill. Elsewhere, the Mutineers of the Mississippi dispatched Tennessee-Martin, the Plowboys of College Station upended the Demons of the Desert, and those Knoxville Mountain Men survived Bowling Green.

Overall, the Conference looked good, as pretty much everyone but Vandy survived week one and will move on to week two with an unblemished record
 
Things I think:
 
I did a lot of channel surfing on Saturday, looking at the new Quarterback’s that numerous teams were breaking in. They’re going to make a huge impact (or not) this season

Auburn: Muschamp’s D didn’t look like the world beaters the Kittens were hoping for. He’s still got to go out and get talent, but this could become an issue if they’re hoping for a date in the Conference Championship game.

Auburn II: Don’t know who was responsible for the portion of their uniform below the knees, but I haven’t seen anything as hideous as that cleat/sock combo since watching Gordon Soley interviewing Captain Lou Albano on World Championship wrestling back in the 70’s”

Alabama: Signal caller Coker looked pretty good. Poised and solid under pressure, he could provide the Tide with a long ride on his shoulders this year
 
Georgia: I forgot all about Keith Marshall. 2 solid RB’s and a bonafide stud in the person of Nick Chubb will keep the heat off of Lambert at least until the Yard Birds visit Athens in a couple of weeks.
 
Vanderbilt: I don’t care what anybody says, the James Franklin effect is still being felt in Nashville. Coach Mason, hang in there
 
Texas A&M: Does anybody else think it might be a kind of a scary thing for the Aggies to not only have an offense, but now a defense? This could get interesting
 
South Carolina: The HBC rode his running backs for the W against the Heels. Mitch started his first college game at QB and he looked like he was starting his first college game at QB. If the HBC, who actually played 4 or 5 players in the QB position, doesn’t find something soon we may be seeing déjà vu of 2014 all over again
 
Tennessee: I’m curious as to what the spin will be in Knoxville after a close game against Bowling Green. Dobbs is moving the offense but the D gave up 30
 
The Conference: I think I’m liking what I’m seeing. I believe we will definitely have a rep in the College Football Playoff but, as usual, there will much cannibalization within the ranks and that rep may have more than one loss. Can a two loss SEC team get in?
 
Well, That’s it for now. Hope everyone’s team wins and you have a great week.

And remember; make sure you support your local High School Athletics.
These are your future collegians of tomorrow.

Until next time,
I’m Harley Hanesworth

EMAIL QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

Pernell in Perry Flarda

A: Yet another letter from an English Major at Florida State University….

You got to love it

Q: Dear Sir,

My name in Cosey Renfroe and I’m a proud University of Mississippi fan from Progress, Mississippi. I want you to know that I’m so dang proud of my University of Mississippi football program I am so glad football season is here.

But, let me tell you sir. There has been a lot of talk about the University of Mississippi changing their mascot. I think that with everybody trying to tear down all the Confederate images throughout the country that is probably inevitable that they will end up doing so.

Well, I got to thinking about a good mascot for a replacement. Some folks think that the Black Bear would be a good one. I’m not so sure. I mean, if it were a grizzly bear then I’d probably think that was a good idea cause grizzlies eat people and put the fear of the Lord in your body.

Only problem is that there aren’t any grizzlies down here in Mississippi. Well, I don’t know if you realize it but I’m a proud member of the GCBRO.

That stands for Gulf Coast Bigfoot Reporting Organization. Yep, we’ve been tracking bigfoots down here in the South for a long, long time. And before you get confused, the bigfoots up in Washington State and Oregon and places like that are called Sasquatches.

They’re the same thing just different. Our bigfoots are big and mean and hairy and will scare the bejeezus out of you if you’re walking around in the middle of the night in the woods. So, I thought, who wouldn’t think that the bigfoot would be a natural fit for the replacement University of Mississippi mascot???

I mean, you go wandering around in the woods and come across a tore up carcass of a rabbit or coon and guess what??? Bigfoot!!!

You go traipsin through the swamps and come across some big ole footprints in the mud???? Guess what??? Bigfoot!!!

What I’m saying is that a bigfoot symbol running around in our endzone would probably scare the living snot out of opposing teams. And who wouldn’t want that!?!?

So what do you think Mr Wizard??? Tiger’s and Bulldogs and Eagles are about a dime a dozen in College Football. 

Do you think having Bigfoot as our mascot is a good idea or what??

Cosey Renfroe – Progress, Mississippi

P.S. – I just love writing out Mississippi in my letters. All those crooked letters and humpback letters just makes me giddy.

A: Strangely enough I think you may actually be on to something here….

Ironically, I actually saw a female “Bigfoot” the other day in my local Wal-Mart

She was wearing pink “Baby Girl” sweatpants

Q: Dear Mister CFB Wizard

I cannot believe you defended Kid Rock in one of your earlier articles.

Using the confederate flag image at his concerts, really dude?

You screwed up this time

Anonymous – Louisville, Kentucky

A: What’s with all the anonymous hate mail this early in the year?

Let me say this, I will defend anybody who has visited our troops numerous times overseas during our wars and spent money out of their own pocket for numerous veteran causes and in case you were blissfully unaware we are still at “war”

But if that isn’t enough….

I would like to add that I can neither confirm nor deny that portions of this video were filmed at my own “Redneck Paradise”

But I will say this….

It sure was fun….


COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS

The “GOOD NEWS” and the “BAD NEWS”….

Let’s talk “bad news” first

I hate delivering bad news, but it’s best to be right up front

Wouldn’t you agree?

Here goes….(deep breath…)

I am sorry to report…

(And I know this is a shock to many of you, so brace yourselves)

Vanderbilt, Colorado, Kansas, Washington State, Penn State and (of course) Army

Will “NOT” be in the College Football Playoffs this year

(I know, I am so sorry to have to be the one to tell you)

And on a personal front

I think my doctors at Vanderbilt are about as sharp as their damn football team

But that’s another story for another time

However there is some “good news” for these teams!

They are ALL still eligible for the “Electrolux (We Suck) Vacuum Cleaner Bowl” to be played in Walcott, Iowa at the newly constructed makeshift stadium next to the hog rendering plant.

So Congratulations!

BRIGHAM YOUNG: DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

WESTERN KENTUCKY: (See Above)

MARSHALL: The Thundering Herd beat a Big Ten team in dramatic fashion…..

I only have two things to say….

“WE ARE MARSHALL”

And

Congratulations

VANDERBILT: Coach (Soon to be fired)…..

He Gone….

TEXAS: Coach Charlie Strong……

(See Above)

PENN STATE: Coach Franklin, you lost to Temple, really?

I would like to speak for all the Commodore Fans out there right now

They say “Karma” is a “you know what”…I guess it is, right?

MISSOURI: For those Tiger football fans in the great state of Missouri that attempted to watch the telecast of their beloved Tigers this past weekend.

“IF” you didn’t take my safety tip to heart last weekend……

Then I recognized that you were ear raped by ESPN’s Beth Mowins on Saturday.

I am so sorry

It will be better once your ear canal stops bleeding, I promise

MARYLAND: It has been pointed to me by a dear friend of mine that the Turtles multi-colored eye chart uniforms resemble a psychedelic LSD nightmare from Andy Warhol during his “Pop Art” days.

I think we are on to something here

ARMY: The West Point Football Team has reported that their close game with Fordham this past Saturday was due to their players wearing the large reflective Army “PT Belts” and rather bulky gas masks during the course of the game, causing numerous turnovers, missed tackles etc.

Army Chief of Staff General Martin Dempsey had this to say about the “controversy”

“Let me be perfectly clear here. This is not being risk averse. It’s about safety of our players and our future army officer corps. Imagine for a moment if an armored vehicle that was emitting mustard gas was on the football field during the game!

How the heck are they supposed to see our players if they aren’t wearing the reflective PT Belts and how are they supposed to protect themselves? Safety is more important than winning, it’s a lesson we try to instill in all our young officers.”

One More Thing…

This Friday is September 11th.

Before it was a day of infamy in our country, it was always remembered throughout Alabama as Coach Bryant’s birthday. It’s hard to believe that Coach would have been 102 years old on Friday.

And if he was alive I would still be scared to death of him.

God Bless you Coach and thank you for everything.
