Well, my Panthers ran out of time last night against Sachse. Next year, boys! There is always next year. I remain Panther true. Black and gold! Always bold!

Alabama is playing The Citadel for what reason? To show how many points they can rack up on some ROTC, future defenders of the Constitution individuals? Harrumph.

Week Three Means an "A" for Me!

I managed to pick 90 percent of my NCAA football results correctly, thanks to "walk-off" field goal by LSU and a predictable result of the Ohio State-TCU game. I was glad the Horned Frogs gave the Buckeyes some food for thought and not just a welcome mat. Good show! Now my beloved USC Trojans on the other hand. We have some work to do, Men of Troy! Fight on!

Life continues at a steady breakneck pace for this little school teacher four weeks into her year. I saw former students playing 7th grade football on Tuesday evening.

Quite a Weekend!

How shall I say this? It's been a weekend of upsets for my picks. The pros really ate my lunch this week. I'm glad I'm not on Draft Kings or any other such ilk.

1. All three grade levels of my Middle School Matchup for baseball are now out. Boo!
2. My Plano East Panthers went to the playoffs but lost.
3. Mama's Lincoln Tigers didn't make the playoffs.
4. Daddy's Manual Arts Toilers were eliminated from the playoffs.
5. Hubby's Memorial High Mustangs are moving on and will face Harlingen on Friday evening. Go Mustangs! This is one positive note.
6. My Texas A&M Aggies won their game against Western Carolina but will face Vandy then LSU. Yowzah.
7. I never thought the Detroit Lions would win again at Lambeau Field. They did after 24 years of waiting, wanting, and wishing.
8. I picked the Cowboys to beat the Buccaneers. They lost because Dez Bryant "lost focus." Grrr!
9. "Smiley" Jay Cutler and the Bears beat the favored St. Louis Rams. Sigh.
10. Miami edged Philadelphia after Sam Bradford was injured (again) in the game. That guy catches absolutely no breaks.
11. The Ravens were supposed to beat the Vikings. My boy Teddy Bridgewater had other plans.
12. The Washington Redskins blew the New Orleans Saints out of the water with a 47-14 whooping.
13. Would I ever think to see the General benched? ARGH! Peyton Manning was benched in that wretched game against the Kansas City Chiefs. I think Coach Kubiak's system is all wrong for Peyton. 
14. New England was leading New York early in the fourth quarter. Will Belichick beat Coughlin in their chess match?
15. The Arizona and Seatlle game will be a scream because you won't be able to hear over all of that racket in their stadium. Yergh. I think the Seahawks will win, but I want the Cardinals to prevail.
16. I am picking the Cincinnati Bengals to also be 9-0 after their game against  the Houston Texans. You just never know.
