Willard's Winners... Week 3...

Well, Willard has a new job. He had been counting on his Prognosticatin' and his Dirt Track Racin' to pay the bills, but it hasn't worked out. It seems Willard lost all of his dirt track races because he was too careful a driver. You see Willard's Mom always told him, that if there is someone driving too fast behind you , then you should let them pass you and go on. He did it every race, and lost them everyone. It has worked out for the best though. Mr. Harve Newman wanted to start a new limo company, and was looking for a driver. When he heard about Willard's good driving record, he hired him on the spot!

Well, enough of that. Here are Willard's Winners...

Texas A&M vs. Miami: The Corp of Cadets from College Station will march their way to beautiful Miami looking to have a little fun in the sun. The Hurricanes will spit a sprinkle or two, but the Aggies will weather this storm. Willard's Winner... Texas A&M

William & Mary vs. Virginia Tech: Willard said he doesn't understand why the NCAA would allow two teams to join together against one team. But he did say this, even though William & Mary get to play together against the Hokies, they had better watch out 'cause those Turkey's will put a peckin' on you. Willard's Winner... Virginia Tech

Penn St. vs. Michigan: The Wolverines showed a little of the tenacity that they are known for last week. This week they will welcome Joe Pa's Nittany Lions to the Big Den in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines will bear their teeth and claws, but the Nittany Lions will find the Wolverines a meaty morsel. Willard's Winner... Penn St.

Michigan State vs. Notre Dame: The Notre Dame faithfull are surely offering Hail Mary's and Our Fathers at a blistering pace for this debacle of a season. The Fightin' Irish will come ready to clash with the Spartans, but it will be the Celts that go home on their shields.
Willard's Winner... Michigan State


Maryland vs. Wake Forrest: The Terrapins from College Park will lumber their way south to take on the Demon Deacons of Wake Forrest. Those Demon Deacons will get together in a dark corner somewhere and raise a bit of ruckuss in this called meeting. But those Turtles have a tough shell. Willard's Winner... Maryland

Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma St.: The Red Raiders will lead their gang into Stillwater looking to wrangle a few choice cattle from the Cowboys' herd. A lot of lead will be thrown down that field, by both sides, but in the end the boys from Stillwater will be a little handier with the steel.
Willard's Winner... Oklahoma St.


Kentucky vs. Arkansas: Whoa Nellie! Since when did Kentucky become a football school? After last weeks whoopin' of Louisville, the Wildcats will wander west to Arkansas looking to claw the Razorbacks. After the Big Tussle in Tuscaloosa the Hogs are a little tired and the waller is vulnerable to Wildcat attack. But in the end the two hoss Hogs will run all over the Wildcats.
Willard's Winner... Arkansas

Iowa vs. Wisconsin: Willard's Winner... Whoever does not have to watch this game!

And Last But Certainly Not Least!

Georgia vs. Alabama: Coach Saban has his Red Pachyderms believing that they are the best team in the SEC, and they are playing pretty close to it. Coach Richt and his Junk Yard Dawgs will march to Tuscaloosa looking to put a bite onto the Pachyderm Parade. The Crimson Tide faithful are ravenous this year, and will be unhospitable towards our Silver Britches. The Red Wave will wash over the Bulldogs several times, but Uga will be chained tight and won't wash away. Willard's Winner... Georgia!

I can't believe I am actually saying this, but I believe that the Dawgs just aren't tough enough this year to beat coach Saban's Crimson Tide.

Willard's Winners Week 3...

Well hello my fellow Football Fans, and welcome to the third installment of Willard's Winners for 2007. Willard did not fare so well last week. He is extremely upset about last weeks debacle in Athens. He does not understand why there is not an ongoing investigation into the obvious cheating that took place there last Saturday. He said, and I quote; "Everybody knows that the Ole' ball coach is cheating, cause there is no way his kickin' chickens could beat my DAWGS. Why doesn't the NCAA do something about it!" I am a little worried about him, he hasn't even touched his eggs and pig brains this week. It's his favorite you know.

Well, enough of that. Here are Willard's Winners for week 3:

West Virginia vs. Maryland: The Poor Mountaineers of Morgantown will invade College Park looking to keep their families fed on some Turtle Stew. Coach Friedgen and his Terrible Terrapins will try to defend their shell. Oh, those Terrapins will snap a few times, and even hold onto those Mountaineers for a while, but in the end the Mountaineers will consume some Turtle consomme. Willard's Winner... West Virginia

Central Michigan vs. Perdue: Whoa Nellie! What a barn burner, that nobody, and Willard means NOBODY cares about. Willard's Winner...Whoever does not have to watch this game!

Mississipi St. vs. Auburn: Coach Croom and his Bullpups will wander onto the Plain this weekend looking to chew the corner of Auburn's finest Sofa. Coach T and his Tigers have already rolled up their newspapers and will swat that Bullpup! Willard's Winner...Auburn

Notre Dame vs. Michigan: The 0 and 2 Fighting Irish will face off against the 0 and 2 Wolverines this weekend......(Sorry, Willard couldn't talk through the laughter...). The Golden Domers will tie one on trying to get loose for this game, but Coach Carr's job is on the line, so his Blue and Maize Boys will be on the attack. At the end of an ugly game, it is only a shame; that both can't lose. Willard's Winner... Michigan

Arkansas vs. Alabama: The Razorbacks of Arkansas will make the trip south to Tuscaloosa hoping to root around and find a win. Coach Saban's Pachyderms have stomped that field flat the past couple of weeks hoping to make it hard to dig up. There is just one problem, they just didn't stomp the endzone enough, so Coach Nutt's pigletts will find that soft soil, and just waller there for a while. Willard's Winner... Arkansas

USC vs. Nebraska: Well, Pete Carroll will find himself in an unfamiliar place this weekend. I am sure that he has protested, and the NCAA has told him he must play. You see, coach Carroll does not play more than 2 top 25 teams a season, and this year he may have to play 3. But enough tongue in cheek.
The Boys from Troy will sail their mighty armada to Lincoln looking to steal a stack of corn big enough to feed their mighty army for a National Championship run. Those cornfed farmboys from Nebraska's fields may not know much about swordsmanship, but they can put up a fight. The Cornhuskers will fill their tractors with ethanol and try to shuck the Trojans, but in the end those Trojan swords will jam up the Cornhusker's works. Willard's Winner... USC.

Boston College vs. Georgia Tech: Whoa Nellie! What a game! The Beantown Brawlers vs. the Ramblin' Wreck. Willard must say, that though he hates GA Tech, he is pleasantly surprised by their gumption this year. He told me: The Beantown Badboys will swagger into Atlanta determined to steal that Floppy Georgia Tech Jaloppy. The Beantown Badboys will find out however that those bees have stingers!
Willard's Winner...In the Donnybrook Game of the Week (and it is painful to say) Georgia Tech

Tennesse vs. Florida: Coach Fulmer will march his Volunteer Army to the Swamp looking to feed off of a little Gator tail. They really enjoyed that succulent appetizer last time they were there. Unfortunately, Coach Fulmer will find out that Coach Meyer has toughened those Gators up, and they are just not sweet anymore. The Vols will fire a few rounds into that tough Gator flesh, but the Vols will feel that Gator chomp...in the end... . Willard's Winner... Florida

And last But certainly not least...

Western Carolina vs. Georgia: The Catamounts will leave their dens in the Mountains of Carolina descending to the fair hills of Athens looking for a morsel of Bulldog meat. After being pecked silly by those Cheating Chickens, the Bulldogs are licking their wounds this week. The Catamounts are looking to capitalize and catch those Dawgs while they are wounded. They will find out that THAT DAWG WILL BITE YOU! Willard's Winner... Georgia

Willard's Winners Week 2...

Willard was nine for twelve last week. He is still reeling from the Appalachian State win over Michigan. He, like many others contemplated leaving the prognostication world after that debacle. I have reminded him that "Prognosticatin' " is his calling, so Willard said he would keep sending me his picks for a little while.

Y'all might not remember, but this Saturday is Willard's Birthday. He will be__, well, we don't really know when Willard was born. You see Willard flooded the trailer when he was four. Willard and his folks lived near the river. Willard's Mom used to send Willard outside to play, and he threw sticks and logs in the river all the time. One year, a heavy rain came, and the dam Willard built backed up that water, and floated the singlewide off the foundation. It was never seen again. (More later about this. Boy do I have a picture and story about this.)

But anyway, Back to Willard. Willard's Momma sent me a picture of last year's cake. I thought you might want to see it.

Well, enough of that, here are Willard's Winners...

Miami vs. Oklahoma: The Hurricanes are moving deep inland to the plains of Oklahoma looking to rain on the Sooner parade. The Hurricanes will push forward their best Storm Surge, but the Boomer Schooner will send these Hurricanes home with a Tropical Depression. Willard's Winner... Oklahoma

Duke vs. Virginia: What a game this will be. The real question in this one is if either team will actually score! These are the two worst teams in the ACC, and that is where the tension for this game arises. Both teams will want to win, so as to stay out of the ACC cellar. The Blue Devils will do their best to stab the Queen's men with their pitchforks, but the Cavaliers will parry the Duke thrust, and strike with their rapiers. Willard's Winner... Virginia

West Virginia vs. Marshall: The Thundering Herd of Marshall will try a repeat of last week's cinderella story by trampling the Mountaineers of West Virginia. But the herd is a little smaller and slower than it used to be, and the Mountaineers will dwindle the herd a little more with their accurate rifles. Willard's Winner... West Virginia

NC State vs. Boston College: Coach Tom O'Brien and his Ravenous Wolfpack will head to Beantown looking to pluck the Eagles of Boston College. The wolves will circle and pounce but in the end, the Eagles will feast on Wolf flesh. Willard's Winner... Boston College

Fresno State vs. Texas A&M: The Bulldogs of Fresno State will wander down to College Station this weekend trying to steal a little bit of Reveille's kibble. The Cadets will be on their guard, and the cheer team will call the Aggies to come carve that California Canine. Willard's Winner... Texas A&M

Southern Miss vs. Tennessee: The Rebels from Oxford will march their army up the Tennessee River to Knoxville to squabble with the embattled Volunteer Army. The boys in Blue and Red will give a mighty Rebel yell, but the boys in Orange will repel the Rebel attack. Willard's Winner... Tennessee

Miami of Ohio vs. Minnesota: Willard's Winner... Whoever does not have to watch this game!

Notre Dame vs. Penn St.: The hot blooded Celts from Southbend will be looking to get their Irish up after last weeks shillelagh shellacking at the hands of the Yellowjackets. The Fightin' Irish will bring their best brawl to Happy Valley only to find Joe Pa's Nittany Lions with bared teeth and claws. Willard's Winner... Penn St.

TCU vs. Texas: Mack Brown's Bovine's are calling the Vet looking for some serious medicine to cure their slowstartitis. This week, the Horned Frogs of TCU will scamper to Austin looking to spread a little reptile rhematism to the Longhorns. The Horned Frogs will scamper all over that field, and even into the endzone several times, but in the end will meet a Longhorn's hoof. Willard's Winner... In a good game... Texas

Virginia Tech vs. LSU: Whoa Nellie! Beamer Ball is heading to Red Stick to face off with the Bayou Bengals. The hardened Hokies will bring their special brand of stick it to ya special teams and stifling defense to Death Valley looking to peck the Tigers into submission. Les Miles' Tigers will bring their daunting defense too, and will show how tough their offensive hides are as well. Willard's Winner...In the Donnybrook game of the Week... LSU

And last but certainly not least...

South Carolina vs. Georgia: The DEVIL's goin' down to Georgia looking for a win to steal. He's in a bind, cause he's way behind and he's willing to make a deal.

The Ole' Ball Coach has rosined up his bow,and will try to play that Gamecock fiddle hard but he'll find that heaven's broke loose at Georgia and Coach Richt deals the cards! Willard's Winner... Georgia!
