Well, Willard finally got his house put in behind my Aunt's house. He was tired of driving into town to call me once a week with his picks. There was also a little problem between Willard and his girlfriend. It seems that Charlene has been shooting out his windows since the break-up. Enough of that, let's get to the good stuff. As you all know, College football season is 2 days, 22 hours, and about 30 minutes away. (not that I am counting) Willard is all excited, and looking forward to another great season of Georgia Football. He explained to me that he will be watching more football this season, so that he will know more about the teams that: (and I quote) "Georgia is going to put a stiff whoopin' on." Sometimes Willard is a bit one sided in his prognostications, so I am getting my father's input on some of this years biggest match-ups as well. Without further adeiu, here are Willard's Winners and Charles'Champions.
TCU v. Baylor= Willard and Charles both agreed that the Horned Frogs would leave a bad taste in the Bear's mouths. Willard's Winner... TCU
Washington ST. v. Auburn= Again, Willard and Charles both agreed that the Tigers are a little too tough for the Cougars. Charles' Champion: Auburn
Kentucky v. Louisville= Willard and Charles both agree that the Cardinals will sing a sweet song, and tame those little kittens from Lexington. Charles' Champion: (and as he puts it:"the team taking their first step towards a National Championship") Louisville
Virginia v. Pitt= Willard's Winner: Virginia, Charles Champion: Pitt
Cal v. Tennessee= Sorry Big D, The Bears will maul Fuller's hounds Willard's Winner & Charles' Champion: Cal
Marshall v. West Virginia: The Mountaineers will train their sights on the Thundering Herd of Marshall, and drive them to edge of extinction just as their namesake. Willard's Winner/Charles' Champion: West Virginia (I just want it to be known that my Dad seems to think that the winner of the Big East has a sure lock on a birth in the National Championship Game this year. I don't know if he is right, but time will tell.)
South Carolina v. Mississippi State: The ole ball coach has his fightin' chickens thinking they are the cock of the walk. Well they may just be. Willard's winner & Charles' Champion: South Carolina
Vanderbilt v. Michigan: Willard and Charles almost got into a fight over this one. As a matter of fact, I believe a little bit of crow is going to have to be eaten over this one. Willard says that the Wolverines will gnaw their way to a win, while Charles thinks the Commodores will chart a path to victory. Willard's Winner: Michigan. Charles Champion: Vanderbilt
Northern Illinois v. Ohio State: Willard and Charles both agreed on this one... Nobody Cares!
Notre Dame v. Georgia Tech: The Catholics of South Bend will attempt to spread their kind of gridiron religion on streets of downtown Atlanta. The engineers will work hard to keep that wrambling wreck running, but the Parish Priests will perform extreme unction on that old jalopy. Willard's Winner/Charles' Champion: Notre Dame
Florida State v. Miami: Over the last few years the Hurricanes have blown a mighty gale. But Bobby Bowdon and his Seminoles will weather this storm leaving Miami in a tropical depression. In the Donnybrook game of the Week; Willard's Winner and Charles' Champion: Florida State
And Last, but certainly not least,
The University of Georgia v. Western Kentucky: Coach Richt will lead his proud Bulldogs between the hedges to take on the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky. Unfortunately the boys from Kentucky will live up to their names, and all we will see of them is them with their tails between their legs topping the hill running double time from the Bulldog BITE! Willard's Winner & And Charles' Champion: Georgia

Before you get into the season and forget everyone's Earthly existence but your football buddies and Mark Richt, consider calling your sweet, lovin' sister to give her the details of your graduation so she can try to talk her boss into letting your sister come to TX rather than give a final exam to some 8th graders who really don't want an exam anyway... :)
Okay, you know I'm going to have to disagree with one of these picks. I was going to make a sign that had a shout out to your cousin, for College Game Day, but not anymore. Go Jackets!!! I'm a Ramblin' Wreck!!!
I was glad Willard was back with the prognostications.... until I saw that he left VA TECH off the list. The Hokies first battle is set for Saturday, September 2nd and they are sure to come out as the victors. Shame on you Willard.
Sherri, it is good to see you commenting! Could you puh-lease help me with your brother!! He goes off accusing me of faulting in my spectacular pronounciation skils. Can you please help me!! :)
Bonnie, if you don't know by now, let me fill you in. There is no help, save the Lord; big enough to help me!
And Geo,
The VT game is a foregone conclusion. Chris' Winner: (I couldn't hear Willard's over the gunshots) VT
Chris
Dashadra, honey, I have been working on him practically non-stop for 32 years. I suppose he thinks he is being kind since Hooked on Phonics worked for him last year...
