Ladies and Gentlemen – This week’s picks will be in Honor of the Marine Corps Birthday and Veterans Day. Since 10 November 1775 The United States Marine Corps has stood on the Nation’s porch like a Pit Bull waiting to be unleashed when the occupants of the house are threatened. We have served in peace and for the past decade, a lot of war, a lot of war.
Ladies and Gentlemen – I hope you all survived Halloween Weekend Last week’s picks had far more “Tricks” than “Treats” in it for me. Much like Charlie Brown and Charlie Weis I left last weekend with a sack full of rocks.
Ladies and Gentlemen – This past week separated the contenders from the pretenders and it almost separated me from the liquor cabinet.

In fact for a brief period of time, I lived down the street from the stadium…. I used to go up there...
Ladies and Gentlemen – Well my friends it’s the last official week of the 2010 College Football Season….. It’s been a wild year….. This year has had more surprises than a birthday party at a schizophrenic’s house And it’s been just as crazy. Nobody guessed Auburn and Oregon in the BCS Title game… (Certainly not yours truly) And I couldn’t imagine the Texas Longhorns not being in a Bowl game…. Or Coach Meyer leaving...
Ladies and Gentlemen - I have received a number of emails over the last post concerning the Evergreen State mascot… So permit me to answer those questions here.. “Yes” I find the Geoduck mascot as equally as disturbing as you… “No” I will not comment on “what else” that mascot may or may not look like.. “Yes” the Geoduck is their “real” mascot..
