Ladies and Gentlemen –
Due to the busy schedule of “Doc” The World-Famous Black Lab and I during this season of working for Santa and selling our “new” book “Over Easy”, we will have one issue of college football bowls this year.
So, we will not reconvene until after the first of the year for the Championship game.
Consider this little gift as a Holiday time saver from The CFB Wizard.
Merry Christmas
Enjoy Your Bowl Picks
College Football News
KENTUCKY: Some of Our Brothers and Sisters in the Bluegrass are going to have a long climb in front of them after the Tornado’s last week. I encourage you to help them however you can and pray for them.
Pray very hard.
NAVY: Congratulations to the Midshipmen on a thrilling win over West Point last weekend.
With that win, Navy has also won the Commander in Chiefs Trophy this year.
Now, if we only had a Commander in Chief to award the trophy.

Christmas Safety Message
We have but one thing to remind you all of this Holiday Season….
Remember that every time you hear someone say “Ho-Ho-Ho”, a Tennessee Cheerleader gets her pom-pom’s squeezed.
End of the Year CFB Wizard Email Questions and Answers
Q: Hey Good Looking!
I read your latest book and it is AWESOME!
I know you love Christmas from your book, so what’s your favorite Christmas movie?
Merry Christmas!
Tami – New Orleans, Louisiana
A: Thank you so much Tami, I am glad you enjoyed it.
My Favorite Christmas movie is “The Dirty Dozen.”
Lee Marvin is like Santa Claus and his 12 Elf’s are fighting the Grinch that tries to steal Freedom.
Q: Dear Sir,
I am Tracy Stone-Manning, the Director of the Bureau of Land Management, or BLM for short. Due to your wide circulation and because you are a world-famous published author, I am appealing to you to get the word out on a serious bit of confusion which has been occurring.
It appears that there has been a bit of a misconception as to the purpose of our agency by many activists, protestors, and Antifa individuals. Many people have come to our offices trying to meet with Black Lives Matters leaders since the fiery but peaceful protests began last year.
This has led to many uncomfortable scenes at our headquarters in Washington D.C. upon discovering that we are not an all-minority agency and have no guidance or information for them on upcoming protests and marches. Please, please, for the love of God, spread the word that we are not THAT BLM.
Thank You
Tracy Stone-Manning
Director
BLM (Not the other one)
A:Consider it done ma’am
Q: Thank you for both websites and your stories this year!
My family thoroughly enjoy them every week!
We have a little holiday bet in our family this year and hope you can help us.
Here goes, what’s your favorite Christmas song?
There is homemade gingerbread on the line for this bet!
Dana – Birmingham, Alabama
A: Thank you for the wonderful email Dana.
I sure do and here it is, enjoy.
Q: Hello –
My wife and I are Tennessee Volunteer fans and season ticket holders.
We are also Baptist and feel very uncomfortable in attending the Trans Perfect Bowl game with the Volunteers. I just don’t know why Coach Juicy Nipples or whatever his name is would even accept the bowl invitation.
What should we do?
Thank you
The Tompkins Family – Nashville, Tennessee
A: After you get Ru Paul’s autograph go see your pastor and confess.
Q: Question for you sir.
Is there anything “special” you would like for Christmas this year?
Enquiring minds want to know.
Merry Christmas!
Mandy – Spartanburg, South Carolina
A: Thank you for the kind email Mandy.
I would appreciate one of these for Christmas, that would be nice.
Hootie’s Christmas
As well know, one of our little Christmas traditions is to include a Christmas message from the self-proclaimed Number One Tennessee Volunteer Fan in the World!
Ladies and Gentlemen I present Mr. Hootie Snitch of Baneberry Tennessee
Twas the day after Vandy, and all ‘round tha state
We was giddily waiting to hear are bowl fate
The cards were lined up to get a bowl bid
Like a warm weather site to reflect what we did
Tha fans were excited, and got in their head
We’d be in Orlando, their joy was widespread
Juicy Nipple, our coach, with his big ole man boobs
Would send opposition, right down tha tubes
Then came the news that caused a big clatter
I ran got a paper, to see what’s tha matter
Are blood got ta boilin’, are teeth they did gnash
We tore up are TV’s, are tempers did flash
Tha gall a some folks, ta keep us round here
Ta play down in Nashville, after are stellar year
We beat us some people, we beat em real bad
And get Music City? After what we just had?
With a big win to start, we beat Bowlin’ Green
I knew at that moment, we’s back on tha scene
Pitts-burgh was a stumble, that we coulda won,
Then Tennessee Tech, we beat like a drum
Lost Flarda, beat M’ssouri, beat Car’lina, too
We had us record, we stood four and two!
Then Rebels! From Ole Miss, them cheatin’ Land Sharks!
We shoulda beat them, shoulda seen all the sparks!
As God as my witness, them Rebs wuz a cheatin’
Right when are team’s bout ta give them a beatin’
So end a the game, as their players was floppin’
With a gut full a likker, all are fans wuz a hoppin’
And then in a twinkling came a bottle a water
Then golf balls and mustard, as are tempers got hotter
As I watched all tha fussin’ and cussin’ abound
Them cheaters they won, then they packed and left town
Then we dressed up in Urnge, from are head to are toes
Playin’ Bammers in T-Town, with their roster a pros
Yeah cheatin’ ass Bama, down in that ole hell-hole
And beat us with players, bout half that they stole
Then we won three of four, lost to Georgia agin’
Got’em on the ropes early, scared them outta their skin
Lot’s a people they told us, that we couldn’t do it,
Yeah, we lost lots of players, but we didn’t have Pruitt.
But are coach is a man, a jolly ole soul
Got a gut like a big ole, Christmas punch bowl
He’s got ruddy cheeks, like he’s drankin’ all night
But boy let me tell ya, he makes are boys fight
He’ll makes us a winner, prob’ly next year I’d thank
And we’ll beat up on Bama, and Flarda we’ll spank.
Then we’ll turn it on Georgia, yeah we’ll give em a poundin’
Cause that’s how we do it, up here on tha mountin
Yeah, he’ll jump on the sidelines, from whistle to whistle
Are QB will throw, footballs just like a missile
At the dam Music City Bowl, scoreboard we will ignite,
Merry Bowl Season to all! And to all a good night!!!
