Marvel Comics came
out with custom covers celebrating the start of “The Road to the College
Football Playoffs”
Hallelujah! I have endured a pitiful baseball season for
my Boys of Summer. The 51-83 Braves have
15 home games left before they say goodbye to Turner Field and a lackluster
2016. Hopefully, their inaugural season
at the brand-spanking new $1.1 billion SunTrust Park along with some promising
new acquisitions to their roster will mean a better 2017.
My attention is now
directed toward F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L. Not so much the NFL with all the out of touch
rich guys (I’m talking to you Kaepernick), but real football, as in COLLEGE
FOOTBALL.
Blogger friend and
SEC sister Diogenes
and I are amped. She’s a diehard LSU fan
and I am a fanatic Alabama Crimson Tide fan.
We poke good-natured fun at each when our two teams are pitted against
each other in what is arguably college football’s most bitterly contested
rivalry. Let the trash talk begin
unabated from now until The First Saturday in November. ROLL TIDE ROLL!
And speaking of trash
talk, Mark Schlabach, sports journalist for ESPN
recently opined, “LSU coach Les Miles will survive another Alabama loss: Once
again, the Tigers will roll through September and October before meeting a
familiar stumbling block in November: Alabama.
The Tigers will fall to the Crimson Tide, 21-20, at Tiger Stadium on Nov. 5,
which will be their sixth straight loss in the series. This season, though, LSU
will recover to win its last three games and will finish 11-1. Alabama will win
the SEC West, but the Tigers will be the second-highest ranked SEC team and
will be invited to the Allstate Sugar Bowl.”
Diogenes has a
thought for Mark: “The Expert Sports
Monkeys have picked their top 20, conference champions, National Champs and
even the Heisman Trophy winner. And as usual, they will be wrong.”
