Willard's Winners Week 5...














Well, you all know about Willard's outburst last week concerning the lack of quality college football games. Well, Earl; Willard's huntin' buddy put together a special event to calm Willard down. Earl put together his county wide famous "MUD FLOPPIN'." For those of you not acquainted with mud floppin' let me explain. First someone digs a pit. You then fill it with water and let it sit for a day or two. Then you let the kids go play in the water, stirring up the mud. Then you gather everybody together, eat some BBQ, and then everybody Flops on in. They have all kinds of prizes for "Best Swan Dive", "Best Cannon Ball", and everyone's favorite, "Best Belly Flop." Willard just loves the Mud Floppin' and it cheered his spirits right up.

So without further adieu (Willard, that means no more waitin')here are Willard's Winners:

BYU v. TCU= The Mormon Cougars are looking to travel to Fort Worth looking for a tasty dish of roasted reptile. Coach Gary Patterson's horny toads will prove themselves to be a tough meal for the Cougars to swallow. It looks like somebody had better be baptised for those BYU boys. Willard's Winner... TCU

Auburn v. South Carolina= Tubberville's Tigers will prance into the Gamecock's ring this Saturday. The Ole' Ball Coach will have his his kickin' chicken's spurs sharp, but just like Little Jerry Seinfeld, SC is no match for Auburn's Feline Frenzy. Willard's Winner... Auburn

Tennessee v. Memphis= The battle for Tennesse will take place near the muddy waters of the Mississipi this year. The Tigers of Memphis will scratch and claw at Fulmer's hounds but in the end the Vols will drag the title of Tennessee's Best Team back to Good Ole' Rocky Top. Willard' Winner... Tennessee

Wisconsin v. Indiana= The slow ground and pound attack of Wisconsin will bore everyone to death before Indiana has the chance to turn the ball over the 2nd time. Willard's Winner... Whoever does not have to watch this game!

Alabama v. Florida= Coach Shula's Crimson Pachyderms will lumber into the Swamp after their crushing defeat at the hands of the Razorbacks last week. Though they will be fighting for their bowl lives, the Gators will eat that Elephant one bite at the time. Willard's Winner... (and oh how he hates to say it) Florida

The Georgia Institute of Technology v. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University= Willard said: "Dang, after having to write all that down, I don't have nuthin' to say. Willard's Winner... Virginia Tech

Louisiana Tech v. Clemson= Willard's Winner in a rout... Clemson

Ohio St. v. Iowa= The Hawkeyes of Iowa will set their keen vision on knocking off the #1 Buckeyes in their home stadium. But the Hawkeyes will find the Tressel's Buckeye Trees an inhospitable place to light. Willard's Winner, in the Donnybrook Game of the Week... Ohio State

Pudue v. Notre Dame= The Altar-boys of South Bend somehow pulled one out of their golden domes last week, but will find the Boilermakers a little easier to convert. Willard's Winner... Notre Dame

The University of Georgia v. Ole Miss= Coach Richt's Bulldogs will march into Oxford this Saturday. Ole Colonel Sanders will try to rally the troops to fight off the Junk Yard Dawgs. But the only time we will hear the Rebel Yell is when UGA VI bites the Rebs on the tail. Willard's Winner... GEORGIA!

P.S. If you are wondering what happened to my Dad, wonder no more. He is vacationing in his Summer Home, and could not be reached. (By that I mean that my Grandmother's lawn needed to be mowed, the last of the tomatoes and beans picked, and the turnips had to be planted.)

Capt. J. A. Filos...



Hey guys, the segment above is from a show on the History Channel called Mail Call. It talks about all kinds of weapons, old and new. The Captain speaking to the host about the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle is a friend of mine from High School and College. We used to call Jason the "Hispanic Causing Panic." With this machine he really is causing panic, in our enemies!

Willard's Winners Week 4....














Well, Willard is trying to learn how to use, what he calls; the "inner net." He bought a computer, and has been trying to email me his picks for this week. He said that he didn't understand why I haven't been getting the "e-males" he has been sending. However, the one email that I did receive had a picture of his opening screen. (see pic above) This might be the problem with Willard's emails.

Well, since Willard could not email his picks, I called him. Willard was quite upset with this weeks schedule. He ranted for about 15 minutes. About the only words I could really understand were: "WILLARD'S WINNER, WILLARD'S WINNER...I'LL TELL YOU WHO WILLARD'S WINNERS ARE...EVERYBODY WHO DOES NOT HAVE TO WATCH COLLEGE FOOTBALL THIS WEEKEND...THERE AIN'T ONE.... (I can't finish the rest of the sentence)

So there you have it folks, Willard's Winners for this week are those of you smart enough to rent a movie on the cruddiest weekend of college football ever!

Don't worry folks, Willard will be back next week with his prognostications.

Willard's Winners, Week 3...











Willard and Charles squared off against each other in their prognostications last week, with Willard coming out on top. Well, they both took a smart pill this week, and scribbled out their picks for this weeks winners. Both "gentlemen" are extremely excited about this weekend of important games.

Here we go!

Iowa St. v. Iowa: Willard's Winner & Charles' Champ... Anybody who does not have to watch this game!

Arkansas v. Vandy: Charles and Willard broke out the squirrel rifles and threatened each others' lives over this one. Charles chose Arkansas, Willard chose Vandy. There is a jar of pickled pigs feet riding on this one!

Clemson v. Florida St: Charles said that the "Cheatah's" from Carolina are going to be roaring mad about last weeks loss, so they will come out scratching and clawing, and biting their way around the Bowdon Bayou. But those sneaky Seminoles' spears will find their mark in the kitty cats hearts. Willard's Winner... Florida St.

Nebraska v. USC: The Cornhuskers will roll into Troy looking to shuck Pete Carroll's horse down to the cob. They will soon find out that there is still a lot of fight in the hoplites from the Peloponeses. Charles Champ... USC

Troy v. Georgia Tech: Since Willard used up all his references to the Trojans in the previous prognostication, he'll just say: Willard's Winner...Georgia Tech (P.S. Charles agreed)

Miami v. Louisville: Last week, the Cardinals of Kentucky flew fast and straight even without their lead bird. But this weekend they will fly into a gale, the likes of which they have never seen. Willard's Winner/Charles' Champ... Miami

Oklahoma v. Oregon: Bob Stoops' Boomer Schooner will ramble on up to Portland this weekend, looking to get the jump on the Ducks. They will find the ground between the mountains and the see tough to navigate, but Stoops' boys will eventually find touchdown sod for bustin'. Willard's Winner/Charles' Champion... Oklahoma

Michigan v. Notre Dame: Willard wanted me to tell all the other pigskin pupils out there that this was a tough game to judge. He said that the Wolverines were a tough group this year. He also noted how Notre Dame was playing this one at home. Willard said that after much studying, and an extra smart pill or two he came to the conclusion... Willard's Winner... Notre Dame (By the way, Charles said it was a no brainer...Notre Dame)

Florida v. Tennessee: Oh what a wonderful game this will be! Urban Meyer and his swamp lizzards will crawl their way up to the Rockytop of Neyland Stadium. The lizzards will attack in their new, wacky formation; but Fullmer's riflemen will drop them short. There will be rejoicing and aligator boots and belts for everybody! Willard's Winner/Charles' Champion...TENNESEE

LSU v. Auburn: This one is the Donnybrook Game of the Week! Folks, if you don't get to watch any other game this year, don't miss this one! The Bayou Bengals will be stalking their way to the "Prettiest little town on the Plain" looking to eat a little Eagle. (or is it a tiger, I don't know, heck they don't know either!) Anyway, the Bengals will claw and scratch the Eagles near unto death, but will find the Eagles a tough bird to swallow. Charles' Champ/Willard's Winner... In a close one... Auburn! (War Eagle fly down the field, ever to conquer, never to yield...)

And last, but certainly not least!

UAB v. UGA: The Blazers of Birmingham will try to chargrill a little Bulldog "Between the Hedges" this weekend. Matt Stafford and the Junk Yard Dawg Defense, thanks to UGA VI; just happen to know where there is a fire hydrant big enough to put out the Blazer's fire. Charles' Champ/ Willard's Winner...Georgia!

Willard's Winners Week 2...


Willard made me promise to put up a picture of his buddy Earl. (Earl picked Willard up off the side of the road the other day when Charlene put him out of the car.) Earl, thanks for picking Willard up.

Well, Willard and Charles have both given me their picks for this week, and here they are:

Auburn v. Miss. ST.= Both said: "No contest!" Willard's Winner, Auburn

Penn St. v. Notre Dame= Again, both agreed that the Fightin' Irish would wollop the Nittany Lions. Charles Champion, Notre Dame.

Clemson v. Boston College= Charles seems to think that the intellectuals from Beantown will offer the Cheatahs of Clemson a good game, but is not willing to step out on the limb to give them the victory. Willard says it is a no brainer. Willard's Winner and Charles Champion, Clemson

Cal v. Minnesota= Willard and Charles both agree that Cal did not like the hospitality they found in the Eastern Hills of Tennessee last weekend, and will have learned their lesson. Willard's Winner, Cal

Ohio State v. Texas= Willard thinks the Buckeyes will be a tough nut to crack, but Charles thinks the Longhorns have enough hoof to crack them.
Willard's Winner, Ohio St Charles Champion, Texas

Virginia Tech v. North Carolina= The old song goes: Nothin could be finer than to be in Carolina in the mornin'. Virginia Tech will think so too! Willard said this one would be a terrible whoopin'. Willard's Winner & Charles' Champion= Va Tech

Ole Miss v. Missouri= The Rebels are looking to raid Columbia this weekend. They will bring their squirrell guns and shoot a few rounds down Missouri's range. The Tigers will give it the old college try, but in the end we will hear the Rebel yell. Willard's Winner & Charles' Champ, Ole Miss

Vandy v. Alabama=As you will remember, Charles and Willard almost came to blows over the Vandy/Michigan game last week. Well, Willard won out on that one and Charles learned his lesson. Willard's Winner & Charles' Champ= Alabama

Texas Tech v. UTEP= Nobody cares!

Western Illinois v. Wisconsin= Willard's Winner and Charles' Champ, Whoever does not have to watch this game!

THE University of Georgia v. South Carolina= Once again, the Kickin Chickins will try to defend their roost from the Bulldog onslaught. That coach, who's name Willard refuses to speak; will have his Roosters in fightin' shape, and as Charles puts it, in good enough shape to win. Willard thinks that the Dawgs will have themselves a hard fought, tough, chicken dinner. Charles' Champion...South Carolina Willard's Winner... Georgia
(After this one, I am going to have to talk to my Dad. Y'all pray for his soul.)

Week 1 Report...

Well, College Football did not disappoint this weekend. There were several good games, that captured my attention and kept me from doing anything productive this weekend.

Without further adieu, let's get to the good stuff. Willard and Charles were both right on the money with their prognostications. Both only missed 2 games out of 12. Both had one game that they called from their hearts instead of their heads. Willard picked his heart favorite Virginia over Pitt, and was crushed when the Panthers mauled his Cavaliers. Charles picked the Commodores of Vanderbuilt, but they were crippled by Michigan. Both missed the Tennessee game, where Fuller's hounds ganged up on the Cal Bear Cubs.
