Well, guess who was perfect with their picks last week? Well it wasn’t anybody on the boob tube, or anyone crazily tapping keyboards, no it was us, yet again, showing the rest of the sports world what perfection and being a legend in your own mind really looks like.
With the season winding down, many teams are taking a break before the final slugfests to come, but we do have some good games to gawk over. So let’s get started and see who’s closing in on clamping down a bowl bid and who will be sitting at home, picking their nose, and watching the good teams play.
Tennessee at Alabama – The Vols bus on down to T-Town for the third Saturday in October showdown and this could be a thriller. After so many years of being just another game, the Vols finally pummeled the Pachyderms last season, and they now have optimism they can do it again.
But the boys in Crimson have some payback waiting on these Orange-clad kookoos and if the Tide can uncharacteristically start fast, this game could be over quick, but if they start slow, it could be an exciting game until the fourth quarter.
But no matter how it happens, what will happen in the end, is that the boys in Crimson will be scraping out the Orange off their feet and you can put Tennessee on Larry’s loser list.
Mississippi State at Arkansas – The Hounds haul up to Arkansas to try and add some Pork to their post-game feast but the Hogs have sharpened their tusks and plan un poking the Pooches into submission this Saturday.
Both teams are scrambling to get to the magic number that allows them for some post-season partying, but only one will get one step closer after this campaign.
Unfortunately though, if it goes the way we see it, both teams will still have a way to go after this one because we’re seeing Mississippi State win and put the Hogs on the list after this one.
South Carolina at Missouri – The Col. Sanders Cluckers fly to Mizzou to take on the midwest Meyowers in their home catbox. Now the Cats have earned some blue ribbons this year for their fortuitous fate in football this year and they’re hoping to be best in show in this event too.
South Carolina has shown glimpses of greatness this season, but a glimpse won’t help you much in a 60-minute slugfest. Mizzou is gonna try and make sure they don’t land a lucky punch and take a win away from them in this one.
Defense is the difference in this one and Mizzou has one and the Cocks are a little limp in that area, so we’re going to see the Cats lock up a bowl berth, and that makes Larry’s loser South Carolina.
These Chickens are good, but they don’t have big enough peckers to slow down a Tiger!
Ole Miss at Auburn – When the Rebs come into Auburn thinking an easy win over a glorified war chicken, they might be in for a surprise. Auburn plays like a Tiger possessed in night games at home. I’ve been there too many times and seen them upset bigger ballers.
Kiffin’s Commandos may have their hands full in this one as the Tigers from Auburn are desperately searching for any win over any SEC team. So the Rebs better start off strong and get that crowd out of the game early and then not let up.
I can see this going the other way if Auburn gets going on offense, they’ve got the defense to be respectable and the the crowd could carry them, but we’re being reasonable and putting a trashy team tied for no conference wins where it belongs and make Auburn Larry’s loser.
Army at LSU – When Army rolls in Baton Rouge this weekend to take on the Tigers, it’s gonna be a long night for the boys in that battalion. You see, the refs won’t let ’em use their Tanks or Bradleys in this skirmish, so the boys will be exposed to the Cajun Kitty’s claws all night long and that won’t be a good matchup.
Yes, the Bengals should run blitzkrieg over this Army like they were French soldiers in World War II and it won’t be a good one to watch.
So let’s just land Army on Larry’s loser list and say Congrats to the Cats for win number 6. Who would have thought that LSU would be fighting for a decent bowl when the season started? Talk about a season not living up to its hype!
Well, that’s it for this week folks, We love bringing you these laughable losers and letting you know who’s watchable and who’s just weary.
We hope to see you back in this same place next week, till then, stock up your snacks, get those noisy kids out of the house, send your mother-in-law home, and get ready for good football!
