Willard's Winners.... Bowl Edition...

Well gang, Willard is back. He went into hiding, thinking the apocalypse was coming when the Dawgs lost to Vandy and to Kentucky. However, when Thanksgiving rolled around, Willard figured out that he was about to miss his Mom's deviled eggs and mashed tater's (as Willard puts it), so he came back home. He kept trying to put off using his powers of prognostication, but then, last night during the Poinsettia Bowl; Willard said I must use the gifts I have been given! So Willard called me at 4:00 am this morning with his prognostications! (I've got to teach Willard how to use the Computer)

Here are Willard's Winners...

Las Vegas Bowl: BYU v. Oregon: Willard's Winner= Oregon

New Orleans Bowl: Rice v. Troy: Willard's Winner= Troy

Papa John's Bowl: South Florida v. Eastern Carolina: Willard's Winner= Eastern Carolina

Armed Forces Bowl: Tulsa v. Utah: Willard's Winner= Utah

New Mexico Bowl: New Mexico v. San Jose St.: Willard's Winner= Whoever does not have to watch this game! (sorry Dennis, nobody but you cares)

Hawaii Bowl: Hawaii v. Arizona State: Willard's Winner= Who cares!

Motor City Bowl: Middle Tennessee State v. Central Michigan: The Raiders from the foothills of Tennesse will sack and pillage the Chippewa's Lodge. Willard's Winner... Middle Tenn

Emerald Bowl: Florda St. v. UCLA: Willard's Winner...Florida State.

Independence Bowl: Oklahoma State v. Alabama: Willard's Winner... Oklahoma State

Holiday Bowl: Texas A&M v. Cal: Willard's Winner...CAL

Music City Bowl: Clemson v. Kentucky: Willard's Winner....Clemson

Sun Bowl: Oregon State v. Missouri: Willard's Winner.... Television Companies. They get to charge advertisers exorbitant ammounts of money for time, which is ironic because no one will be watching!

Liberty Bowl: Houston v. South Carolina: Willard's Winner... South Carolina

Insight Bowl: Texas Tech v. Minnesota: Willard's Winner... Texas Tech

Champs Sports Bowl: Perdue v. Maryland: Willard's Winner... Beware of the Terrible Terrapins... Maryland

Meineke Bowl: Navy v. Boston College: Maybe Meineke should put the breaks on funding this waste of time... Boston College.

Alamo Bowl: Texas v. Iowa: Willard's Winner... Texas stomps them flat!

Peach Bowl: Georgia v. Virginia Tech: Honestly, and not filled with bias, this could be the second best bowl game of the season. Richt's DAWGS will invade Atlanta looking to gobble up some peach pie. Beamer's high powered Hokie Bird attack wants a slice or two themselves. But this is our junkyard, and there will be no sharing this cobbler with those gobblers. Willard's Winner.... Georgia!

MPC Computers Bowl: Miami v. Nevada: I would hate to be Nevada. As many of the Miami players that are going to jail this off-season, you know that they are wanting to get their rocks off. Willard's Winner... Miami

Outback Bowl: Tennessee v. Pitt: Willard's Winner... Tennessee

Cotton Bowl: Auburn v. Nebraska: The Cornhusker Crew will amble down to Dallas after a good season, looking to shuck the War Eagles. The Huskers will pluck a few of the War Eagle's feathers, but in the end Auburn will fly high! Willard's Winner... Auburn (Bonnie, Willard is fussin' mad that I am going to an Auburn game!)

Capitol One Bowl: Arkansas v. Wisconsin: The Badgers of Wisconsin are looking forward to sunning themselves in the warmer climate of a southern state. They are also looking to take home a victory in a bowl game. They will find that Houston Nutt and his raunchy Razorbacks are no pulled pork sandwich, but rather that there are tusks on those pigs. Willard''s Winner... in a rout... Arkansas

Gator Bowl: Georgia Tech v. West Virginia: Uncle Chan's bumbling bees will head to Gainesville to sting the Mountaineers. The chief bumbler of them all (Reggie Ball) will not be able to find the one Drone that can get things done. (Calvin Johnson) Willard's Winner... West Virginia. ( You will notice that Willard said nothing about West VA doing anything good. He meant that. They won't have to, Reggie will once again lose an important game for the Buzz. But rejoice Atlanta, shout aloud you Tech faithful, for this is the last game Reggie Ball will ever lose for the Gold and Blue! Willard and I will both miss Reggie Ball. He made Georgia look real good.)

Rose Bowl: USC v. Michigan: Whoooooaaaaaaaahhhh Nellie! The Donnybrook Bowl game of the year! Folks, this one should be good. Pete Carroll's Trojans had had time to mend their armor, sharpen their swords, and heal the wounds of their last crushing defeat, which kept them out of the BCS Championship game. But Lloyd Carr's Wolverines have been sharpening their teeth and claws, and are fightin' mad about being left out of the big show too. So, both of these teams will fight dagger and nail for a Bowl win. The Trojans will fight valiantly, but in the end, the Rose Bowl trophy will go back to the Wolverine's den. Willard's Winner.............Michigan

Fiesta Bowl: Boise St. v. Oklahoma: The Blue Carpet and the BCS Boys have both been kind to Boise State. The Bronco's have waited a long time for a shot at a big bowl game. Well here is their chance. They will buck, and run up and down the field, but just as in ages of old, they will find the Sooners in the end zone before them. Willard's Winner... Oklahoma. (P.S. I can't pass up the opportunity to get my 2 cents in. Boise St. deserves to be at the Peach Bowl, or maybe even the Alamo Bowl, but not the Fiesta Bowl. Let's get a season against some tougher opponents and see if you deserve to play with the Big Boys.)

Orange Bowl: Louisville v. Wake Forrest: The Birds of Louisville will attempt to lodge in the Baptist Belfry. The Demon Deacons will form a committee to attempt to root out the pests, but since no Deacon can shoot it straight with anybody about anything, the Cardinals will find a wonderful place to roost. Willard's Winner ... Louisville

The Sugar Bowl: Notre Dame v. LSU: The Golden Domed Cardinals of South Bend will desced to the Parishes of Southern Louisiana to take stock of the faithful, and to bring them into order. They will find that the Parish Priests of the Bayou, have let things run wild and that there are Tigers roaming about. The Golden Domed Cardinals will try to perform the sacraments, but will find those Bayou Bengals too wild to tame. Willard's Winner... LSU

The BCS Championship Game: Ohio St. v. Florida: Urban Mayer cried enough Aligator tears to get his boys into the National championship pond, but Tressell's Buckeyes seem to have planted themselves firmly in that spot. The Gators will clamp down on the Buckeyes, and put them in the death roll. But in the end those overgrown lizzards will choke on those Ohio St. hulls.
Willard's Winner.... Ohio State.

Whatever happened to grit and gumption..

I despise weakness. I despise weak kneed, wishy washy, people as well. But what I hate the most is a leader who has a weak stomach. I find it deplorable that our nation is led by people who don't have enough grit to see something to the end. They care more for their own power plays, and pork barrell projects than they do for our fighting men, and for the tired, poor, and huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Do you realize that we used to be a nation of men and women that fought for truth and justice. We had leaders, yea I say Statesmen, like FDR, Churchill, and Richard B. Russell who knew the great responsibility freedom brings, and lived up to that responsibilty. They passed laws to protect and serve mankind, as well as; promoted liberty and justice around the world. We were a nation that refused to let a Kaiser, or the Reich, or Communist dictatorships rule because we knew freedom was something worth fighting for. At one time we understood that anything worth having was going to cost you something, and that it might cost dearly. Now we are so weak that we are not willing to sacrifice anything for the millions that are subject to tyranny. We lift weak hands and offer paltry gifts to those in need of our help.

I know the true reason for this week kneed behavior. This lack of backbone is of course the influence of sin in people's lives. People lack the grit to carry on because they lack in faith in God. They lack faith in God because they have never met him, and choose to rail against him. We refuse to give freely because we are so selfish, and demand our own rights and well being. It all makes me long for the second coming, when there will be one who rules with justice and might, one who makes all things right, and does so with power and majesty. Maranantha!

Willard's Winners...

Well gang, I am moving to my new abode today, so I don't have time to be quippy. But here are my pics for this weekends matchups.

Reggie Ball will have three lucid thoughts this weekend, and throw the ball to Calvin Johnson each time. Calvin will catch them and run them in for touchdowns. Willard's Winner... GT

USC stomps UCLA and goes on to play for a National Championship. Satan is still out there folks, and this is proof.

Rutgers will run the ball well enough to keep West Virginia's offense off the field. Willard's Winner... Rutgers!

The Corn Huskers will get shucked. Willard's Winner... Oklahoma

The Oregon State Beavers pelts will be hanging on a thatched hut by the beach in Hawaii.

Florida will slow down Darren McFadden and the Razorbacks, make them throw the ball, and capitalize on turnovers to win.

And last but certainly not least:

Army v. Navy: The Cadets from the U.S. Miliatary Academy will march into Philadelphia this weekend looking to occupy some foreign territory, and bring home a prized win over the United States Naval Academy. The Cadets have trained hard, polished their big guns, and lubricated the tracks of their tanks. But, Armies' tanks are no match for the Big guns of the Navy Battleship. Willard's Winner... Go NAVY beat Army!
