Willard's Back...

Well, I called my Aunt and got the number to the Sac O' Suds near where my cousin Willard is staying. He had to sneak out in the middle of the night to get away from Charlene. (She is a little more violent than we knew about.) But enough of that. Willard is excited about another College Football season. As a matter of fact, when I called him he yelled into the phone the whole time. I explained that I could hear him well, but he kept on yelling. He said he was as excited as coondog on a trail, so I just held the phone away from my ear. (Y'all pray for Bonnie as she is marrying into my family, and will have to put up with Willard calling every week.)

Well, without further guiding of the lily and with no more adieu:
Here is the First Installment of
Willard's Winners 2007:

Buffalo vs. Rutgers: The Buffs will thunder down to Jolly ole Jersey looking to graze heavily on the Queen's Pasture. However, the Scarlet Knights from Jersey's fair plains will break three lances on the boys from Buffalo becoming the champions of the field. Willard's Winner... Rutgers

Murray St. vs. Louisville: The Cardinals of Kentucky will fly high over the Racers of Murray St. Willard's Winner...Louisville. It's hard to get excited about some games!

LSU vs. Mississippi St.: Those fake bullpups from Starkville should not tread on Georgia's fine mascot, and Les Miles' Bayou Bengals will give them a good comeupance so that they might learn from their mistakes. Willard's Winner... LSU

Weber St. vs. Boise St. : Willard said that this would be a fine game to watch if you liked to watch gimmick teams that can't really play football. He says that he is waiting to see how Boise St. does this year before he calls them legit. But he did say the Broncos would win this one. Willard's Winner... Boise St.

Eastern Carolina vs. Virginia Tech: The Pirates of Eastern Carolina will sail into beautiful Blacksburg looking to pillage some of that Hokie gold, but Beamer and his tough old gamebirds will peck the fool out of the purple Pirates, sending them home with a horrible headache. Willard's Winner... Virginia Tech!

Idaho vs. USC: The Vandals will descend down the mountains to sunny Southern California looking to tan themselves and get rich at the Trojan's expense. Little do they know that Troy has once again recruited some of the best warriors that Asia Minor has to offer. The Vandals will find Troy unhospitable, and will leave horribly defeated. Willard's Winner... USC.
(Y'all just don't know how much I had to edit this one. Willard hates USC)

Florida St. vs. Clemson: Those South Carolina Cheatahs have sharpened their claws and brought a mighty good fight to North Florida's best Braves over the last couple of years. This year the Seminoles will take the attack to the Tiger's den. Death Valley will be a rockin', and the Cheatahs will claw and spit, but in the end, Bowden's Braves will spear themselves some tiger meat. Willard's Winner... Florida St.

Baylor vs. TCU: The Fightin' Baptists from Baylor will make the two hour drive north to Fort Worth looking to Convert those Horned Disciples of Christ. They will try an evangelism explosion, and run a few steps to peace with God, and will even try to keep the FAITH, but in the end those Baylor Boys will find those Horned Frogs too thick skinned to convert.
Willard's Winner... TCU

Georgia Tech vs. Notre Dame: Willard says that this battle of the Gold Domers will be one of the better games of the day. The Ramblin' Wreck will drive that floppy jaloppy to South Bend looking to steal a victory from the Friars. Who knows, with no Reggie Ball, they might actually do it! Who are we kiddin', the prayers of the Notre Dame faithful will availeth much.
Willard's Winner... Notre Dame

Kansas St. vs. Auburn: The Wildcats of Kansas will descend to the Prettiest little village on the Plain looking to steal some of the Tiger's choice morsels. But Coach T has once again sharpened his kitties' claws in the off season, and his Tigers will show that their bite is much worse than their growl. Willard's Winner... Auburn (Watch out Toomer's Corner! This will be the first TP of many this season!)

Tennesse vs. Cal: Whoa Nellie! This will be a good one! Last year, the Bears of Cal lumbered into the Volunteer Holler, only to find Fulmer's faithful to be unhospitable hosts. The Bears will look to return the favor this year by mauling the Vols in their own home den. The blue Bears will scratch, sniff, growl, and claw; but the Volunteer sharpshooters will fire their squirrel guns way too fast, and come home with a nice bearskin rug.
Willard's Winner... In the Donnybrook Game of the Week... Tennessee!

And last but certainly not least!

Oklahoma St. vs. Georgia: Coach Richt and his junk yard dawgs have seen that the SEC just gets no respect in the BCS. For that reason, they will welcome a rowdy outfit of Cowboys to the Classic City this weekend. The Cowboys have been out to pasture for a while, and are coming to town with six guns drawn and looking to have little fun with our beautiful Georgia Peaches. But nobody steals our best girl between the Hedges. Uga and the boys will show that they can protect our house.
Willard's Winner... In a tight one... Georgia! GO DAWGS SIC 'EM!

My New Digs...

Hey Gang, I have been gone from Texas for about a month now. I am unpacked and unfortunately still unemployed. But I wanted to show those of you who have never been to Chattanooga, a little of what my new home looks like. Chattanooga, also called Chattaboogie, is a neat mid sized town of about 100,000 people. The Boogies sits just east of Signal & Lookout Mountains, and has the beautiful Tennessee river running through it. Chattanooga is covered with beautiful trees and lush green grass. The Boogie is growing and has many great attractions. Downtown Chattanooga has for the last decade been revamping itself, and is a neat place to hang out. The Tennessee Aquarium fills two buildings and has thousands of fish and sharks! Every year the Riverbend music festival brings thousands to the riverfront for some good music. There is Rock City, a spot on top of Lookout Mtn where you can see 6 states and Ruby Falls. (See pic below for Rock City) The Boogie has its own minor league Baseball team, the Chattanooga Lookouts. They are lots of fun. All together, I believe that I am going to like it here. I think you would too, so come and visit me sometime. I have an extra bed already made for you, and some adventures in my pocket for you to share.

P.S. By the way, Bonnie looks "Blingtastic" in her new Engagement ring.
