Leonard's Losers
PostPosted:Fri Nov 16, 2018 10:41 pm
It's been an up and down year for the pigskin prognosticator. The little smart pill machine has had good weeks and weeks needing some improvements. We think is has a good handle on the weekend to come, and we’ll get to that. For now, we’d like to take this opportunity to remember that while we enjoy this grand game of football here in the South, people in the Bear Flag state are dealing with devastation bigger than we can possibly imagine in our rain-soaked autumnal hills. Down at the firehouse, the troops are anxious for their brothers on the front lines while they keep an eye on this week’s contest. Old Leonard and his running mate Percy Peabody want everybody to have a good time this weekend and remember those whose lives have been turned upside down.
Now for this week’s lone pick’em.
Furman versus Mercer
These two use-to-be Baptists schools are as ready-to-fight as church league softball teams on a Tuesday night in the summer, but they’ll do it on Sat’dy in Macon. The former Baptists from South Carolina will come in hoping for a 17-16 win while Bobby Lamb is giving an altar call for his boys to banish the heathens from the hills at all costs. While Leonard always picks a loser, this one could go both ways. If they win but give up too many points, the Poinsett Highway apostates might be taking a sabbatical til next September. Bobby’s troops are beaten up from all their confrontations with the godless state universities and have diminished firepower. But with two former Baptists getting together, there’ll be more fireworks than a church budget conference. In the end, the knights of the Holy Roman Empire should be able to get the job done. Old Leonard’s not sure if they’ll be able to cover the under. Leonard’s Loser—Mercer.
