Birthday Sunday Recap

I celebrated my birthday on Sunday with the early morning worship service, a steak dinner, and several hours of football on NFL Redzone. It was a perfect day for me. Here are my picks I made on Pigskin Pick 'Em, the ESPN game.


  1. Seattle vs. San Francisco - correct
  2. Buffalo vs. Jacksonville - WRONG!
  3. Atlanta vs. Tennessee - correct
  4. Cleveland vs. St. Louis - correct

Pop Coaches USA, World Series Set, High School and College Gridion

I still need to listen to PTI's podcast from yesterday. I'm sure Tony had no mercy for Mike Wilbon after his beloved Cubs lost the NLCS. Woohoo about Popovich taking over coaching Team USA after Coach K's reign ends with the 2016 Olympics. I love Coach K's style of a being a principled gentleman I admire despite the fact that he coaches the Duke University Blue Devils. Integrity knows no bounds or fan biases. He's a class act!

It will be the Kansas City Royals against the New York Metropolitans for the World Series. Go Mets.

High School Recap


  1. Plano East defeated Lewisville, 27-13.
  2. On Thursday, Lincoln won over Godly, 38-21.
  3. McAllen Memorial took on crosstown rival McAllen High and beat them 55-21.

College Gridiron Time!

  1. Poor Syracuse Orange hosts Pittsburgh.
  2. Winless UCF readies itself for the Houston Cougars.
  3. My beloved USC Trojans, still reeling from this season’s upheavals, expect no mercy from the Utah Utes. Sigh.
  4. Despite the rain, Baylor thrashes Iowa State at its homecoming game.
  5. Texas Tech travels north to Oklahoma, but they won’t prevail this time.
  6. The luckless Kansas Jayhawks must be wondering why a trip to Stillwater, Oklahoma,–the domicile of Pistol Pete and his Oklahoma State faithful–is necessary at this point in the season.
  7. Indiana Hoosiers will be 0-4 after their roadtrip to Lansing, Michigan. Sparty’s doing the undefeated dance.
  8. Northwestern doesn’t recover from last week’s beatdown in Lincoln, Nebraska. Huskers win.
  9. Texas A&M ventures to play Ole Miss. Gig 'em, Aggies!
  10. Here’s an opportunity for Miami (OH) to have a win in the MAC conference at Western Michigan.
  11. Ohio State plays Rutgers. Um, yeah. Why is this on national television on Saturday night?
  12. Tennessee is in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The orange faithful will leave dejected. I hope to silence the home crowd with an upset. Wake up!
  13. Yawn. SMU is in Tampa to play ball against South Florida. Bulls win.
  14. Kentucky will be hearing more cowbells than they ever imagined in Starkville, Mississippi. State wins.
  15. Good luck to the Texas State Bobcats in their game against the South Alabama Jaguars.

Keyshawn Steered Me Wrong!

I watched the Monday Night Football broadcast last night and listened to the crew talking about the matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants. Keyshawn Johnson, who was 5-0 for the first five weeks, picked the Giants. I changed my pick at the last minute, and then the Giants lost big time. I still like Keyshawn's sense of humor and understanding of a receiver's mentality when they break things down on the Sunday morning program, but I have to give him a little bit of a hard time today. No hard feelings.

College Recap and Professional Prediction - All Gridiron (Mostly)

College Recap - October 17, 2015 - I have a seventy-five percent success rate for my picks and an overall ninety-seven percent success rate in College Pick 'Em. Woo-hoo!

  1. Tulsa is at East Carolina. Go Pirates.
  2. Purdue faces Wisconsin. Badgers eat them up.
  3. West Virginia shows its face against Baylor. Poor Mountaineers.
  4.  Iowa Hawkeyes enter Northwestern territory, but Northwestern prevails.
  5.  Louisiana Tech plays Mississippi State.  I hope they got a nice cheque.
  6. Virginia Tech traveled to Miami for a beat down. Sebastian’s in a mood.
  7. Alabama is in College Station to take on my Aggies. Gig ‘em, Aggies! Whoop!
  8. Michigan State Spartans battle against Michigan Wolverines. It’ll be down to the wire, folks.
  9. Florida Gators square off against the LSU Tigers. Tigers maul gators tonight.
  10. USC is reeling after the loss of a coach. I want them to beat Notre Dame, but I don’t have much hope right now. Sigh.
  11. Penn State is offering a prayer for an upset victory over the top-ranked Buckeyes of Ohio State. Get ‘em!
  12. Oregon Ducks tackle the Washington Huskies. Ducks quack in victory yelling, “Mush!”


Professional Football - My season percentage is at sixty-seven. I hope to get to a "passing" rate of seventy by the end of the season.

  1. Falcons at Saints - who knew about who dat?
  2. Redskins at Jets - Jets

  11. Chargers at Packers - Packers
  12. Ravens at 49ers - Ravens
  13. Patriots at Colts - Patriots
  14. Giants at Eagles - Eagles (Monday Night Football)

So the Blue Jays are down 2-0 in the series. I'd keep an eye on them. I'm still not happy about Joey's bat flip the other night.

The "Final Four" of MLB

Now we know  that the teams who will vie for the 2015 World Series won't come from Texas after the Rangers and Astros losses on Wednesday. Sigh. Good luck, Mets and Cubs in the NLCS that unfolds on Saturday evening. I don't even care who wins the ALCS because I want the National League team to win this year.

High School Friday Night Lights:

  1. Plano East Panthers travel to do battle with the Flower Mound Marcus Marauders.
  2. Frisco Centennial plays Frisco Wakeland in an "away" game.
  3. The Lincoln Tigers visit the Ferris Yellowjackets in an away conference game. Smash 'em, Tigers!
  4. Manual Arts (CA) take on the Crenshaw Cougars. Go, Toilers!

No More Cards!

The Cubs eliminated the MLB's team with the best record. I am pleased as punch. Perhaps the Cubs will play well against the winner of the Mets-Dodgers series. I loved the Dodgers as a little girl, yet I like the Mets' tenacity. Now the series is tied at 2-2 for both the Dodgers/Mets and the Rangers/Blue Jays. Oh my gracious! Go, Rangers!

My Plano East Panthers are the city champs after defeating both Plano West and Plano Senior High's teams this year. Woo-hoo! It's been a long time coming.

Some of my former students played football tonight, and it was fun to see my sporty boys tackling, running, passing, and kicking. One team lost, and the other team won. We have enough students to field two teams for each grade level (seventh and eighth) at my middle school. I sat with the parents, and we yelled ourselves silly as we watched the interceptions and touchdowns. Yes, that's a middle school football jersey and helmet I'm wearing in my profile picture. It's the inspiration for the moniker Lady Gridiron.

Still Kicking!

As you know, my day work is in the classroom, and it has been an all-consuming week for this little sports fan. Now, I can relax a bit, sip my coffee, and pen my thoughts. Care to join me? Read on.

Those Texas Rangers sure know how to make my heart race. I cite their extra innings win over Toronto yesterday. Now they're 2-0 in the ALDS. Woo-hoo! In the NLDS, the Cubs try to even the series this afternoon in St. Louis. I hope they win. The Dodgers host the Mets and crave a victory after Jacob deGrom shut down the Dodgers' bats. This one is a push for me since I grew up loving the Dodgers when residing in Los Angeles, but I'm sick of hearing about the Yankees from New York as though they're the only team in residence. Pshaw! I'll be happy with the winner of this pairing, regardless.

My Plano East Panthers defeated the Plano Senior High Wildcats. Yee-haw!!! Now, we have city bragging rights. I'm a happy little girl.

College Gridiron Time!

  1. Duke Blue Devils are at the Army Black Knights. Go, Army!
  2. Baylor University will thrash the Kansas Jayhawks in a resounding fashion.
  3. Oklahoma hopes to continue Texas' woes on the gridiron field of play. Kudos to Coach Strong for maintaining integrity. I sincerely hope that Bevo recovers from his illness. All joshing about burnt orange aside, it's not good for him.
  4. Maryland Terps visit Ohio State. I hope for an upset but live in the real world.
  5. Indiana Hoosiers lost a close one last week and make the Nittany Lions pay the price.
  6. Directional Michigan time: Central and Western meet in Kalamazoo. Central wins?
  7. Georgia Tech plans to sting the Clemson Tigers. Tigers crush the Yellow Jackets.
  8. LSU is at South Carolina in Louisiana due to recent weather conditions. Tigers geaux crazy and dine on chicken tonight.
  9. That Dawg hates Tennessee orange. I think he'll be victorious today. Bulldogs over Vols.
  10. Florida Gators like the taste of tiger flesh and go to Mizzou to "show them" a thing or two.
  11. East Carolina will make a valiant effort against BYU, but the Pirates may come up short, mateys.
  12. I really hope that Arkansas can do something with Alabama, but I am not in la-la land today.
  13. The Canes are cross-state to lock horns with the Seminoles. The 'Noles wear ibis feathers in their caps, so to speak. Sorry, Sebastian.
  14. Cal Golden Bears hope to avoid a drubbing by the Utes. Not going to happen today. Utes win.
  15. Sparty will rout the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. No contest.

Rangers Win! (Yay) Cowboys Lose! (Boo)

MLB - Last Day of the Regular Season
To correctly predict ten out of sixteen games on the last day is not too shabby. Wild card play begins on Tuesday, and it will be fun to watch!
  1. Cardinals at Braves   (Game one of doubleheader)
  2. Angels at Rangers     They'll figure out their mistakes and clinch the AL West outright.
  3. Yankees at Orioles
  4. Cardinals at Braves    (Game two of doubleheader)
  5. Marlins at Phillies
  6. Reds at Pirates
  7. Rockies at Giants
  8. Tigers at White Sox
  9. Red Sox at Indians
  10. Cubs at Brewers
  11. Royals at Twins
  12. Athletics at Mariners
  13. Padres at Dodgers
  14. Nationals at Mets (I can't believe I got it right on the last game of the season.)
  15. Astros at Diamondbacks 
  16. Blue Jays at Rays
NFL Wrap-Up
  1. Ravens edged the Steelers on Thursday evening in OT.
  2. Jets will beat the Dolphins in London.
  3. Jaguars and Colts won't have the expected result. Big cats usually win but not this time.
  4. Giants will try to knock off the Bills. The Bills will be ready for them.
  5. Panthers and Buccaneers square off in an NFC South divisional meeting. Cam and the boys go 4-0.
  6. The Eagles and Redskins have matching records as kickoff begins. The Eagles win and reach .500.
  7. Raiders won't let the Bears win. Even with Cutler, the Bears will still be winless.
  8. The Texans' win last week will help them harass the Falcons. JJ Watt has a banner day. Texans win.
  9. The surprisingly 1-2 record Chiefs and Bengals meet up in Cincy. Dalton and the gang make it to 4-0.
  10. The Cleveland Browns head west to face a wrathful Chargers team. Bolts beat Browns badly.
  11. The Green Bay Packers visit the San Francisco 49ers and add to their woes. 
  12. Rams and Cardinals meet in an NFC West matchup. The Cardinals aren't interested in helping the Rams' record. I've got my eye on Carson Palmer, Larry Fitzgerald, and Patrick Peterson.
  13. Vikings and Broncos will be an interesting game as General Peyton continues to maneuver with Kubiak's new plan. Broncos edge the Vikes.
  14. Cowboys and Saints should be a win for the 'Boys, but the Saints are playing for pride in New Orleans in front of their fans. Saints prevail.
  15. Monday Night Football features Detroit in Seattle with all of that wretched noise as the Seahawks' faithful seek atonement for their team's 1-2 record. I see Megatron having some wonderful receptions, but I don't see the Lions prevailing. I hope I'm wrong.

  16. Blue Jays at Rays

Gridiron Action!

Collegiate Wrap-Up
1.     And the point of the Ohio State-Indiana game is? I don’t expect any upsets. I really wish I was wrong, but I wasn't. Why are the Buckeyes ranked number one? They haven't been decisive enough in wins for this gridiron fan. Even the shut out of the Hawaiian Rainbow Warriors wasn't enough. They have work to do to prove their mettle given some opponents on their schedule. I hope Coach Harbaugh has some good notes on how to finish these guys when they play on November 28.
2.     Pittsburgh Panthers lose to VT Hokies.
3.     West Virginia Mountaineers hope to whip those Sooners. They won’t.
4.     Kansas State and Oklahoma State tangle in Stillwater. Pistol Pete and company won’t mess around. OSU wins.
5.     The Navy Midshipmen will continue their winning ways against the flyboys at the Air Force Academy.
6.     Michigan State Spartans run all over the Purdue Boilermakers.
7.     Minnesota’s Golden Gophers and Northwestern’s Wildcats tangle tomorrow in Big Ten action. I think Michael Wilbon’s alma mater will triumph. Gophers are ski-u-mahed.
8.     Iowa and Wisconsin start off the day’s games, and the Badgers hand the Hawkeyes their first loss of the season.
9.     TCU hosts the Longhorns in an early game, and I just don’t have a good feeling about the outcome for the Longhorn fan faithful. I could be wrong, you know.
10. Texas Tech and Baylor will be high scoring and should hit a total of over 90 points. Bears win in the end.
11. Georgia’s Dawg has a banner day against the Crimson Tide. Woof! Yep, the Dawg was whipped and sent packing. My son says, "Never choose against the Tide, Mama." Harrumph.
12. South Carolina’s woes continue with a loss to the Missouri Tigers.
13. Ole Miss will enjoy some fried Florida Gator for dinner at the barbecue. You ready? That was a THRASHING!
14. Arkansas and Tennessee means redemption for one of the programs who are both winless in conference play. I think the Pigs will rule the day. Sorry, Vols.
15. The Texas A&M Aggies hosts Mississippi State Bulldogs and win in a nailbiter.

Bonus comment: The Notre Dame-Clemson game had me screaming at the telly once again as I saw the Irish nearly come back to tie up the game. The momentum had begun to swing their way. I've not been an Irish fan since I was a little girl, so don't expect me to convert now. I was happy Clemson won today. The Irish have some speedy players to watch as the season progresses.
