Bum Pickins Week #4
Well it’s hard to believe that we are already in week four which means five weeks into football season.
It was tough pickin this week, lots uf upsets. I am setting at 32-10 on the year, right where I need to be. Monk the Shunk and Sam the Bam are leading the pack at 34-8. I ain’t too worried about them; they always fall apart at the end. The ole Guru just gets stronger!!! Hampton Inn must be watching reruns uf high school games from last year! He is in left field and can’t find his way home!!! Big T is right there with the Hampton, but he did have a good week pickin! CJ the DJ went 10-5 and dropped out uf first place along with FreeMan. Bum knew that would never last. FreeMan needs to stick to running the concession stand, and CJ needs to find someone to help him pick other than the ole ball coach or Jeff Allen. Maybe he can call Lee Corso on Gameday and get some help. Big Fob gets confused with football and girls softball! Big Fob we are in football season!!!! Tricky Nicky did ok for the week, but he will be dragging behind in just a few weeks! Last, and looks like he will finish last, the Mayor! I just pray he can find his way to the City Hall because he sure can’t find his way in pickin football games!!! Enough uf that! Let’s talk about last week’s games!
The Lions uf Crossville got their first win uf the season over Douglas 24-7. Geraldine took Brindle Mtn. to the woodshed 64-6. The Lions uf Section had a sneak attack on Ider 12-0. Cedar Bluff rolled the Rock in overtime 14-7. Susan Moore had their way with Plainview 38-14. The Rams uf Sylvania lit up the scoreboard as they defeated Gaston 52-0. In the game uf the year, it was just like any other Fyffe game; it stays close in the first half, then it is all Fyffe in the second half. Fyffe 24 Collinsville 3! Fort Payne jumped out to a big lead, then had to hang on for dear life with a 31-30 win over Mae Jemison! New Hope has renewed hope, after all, getting by Pisgah 33-32. Head uf the Valley pulled the upset uf the week with a 32-7 win over Falkville!! Cornerstone had the jinx uf the team uf the week losing 58-30 to Clay County. Scottsboro showed Guntersville why they are down the river with a 42-14 win!! North Jackson unleashed the Chief and flaming Spear and got a 57-31 win over DAR!! NSM trampled over Asbury 44-0. Auburn got a 55-16 win over Kent St. and Bama plucked the chickens uf South Carolina 47-23.
After some big games last week, this looks to be an off week! Ider will travel down to Collinsville. The Panthers are not happy with the way they played at Fyffe. Look for Collinsville to have their way against Ider 31-7. Fyffe travels to Asbury. Asbury wishes Fyffe was traveling somewhere else! Fyffe wins 58-0! Pisgah took a tough loss at New Hope last week. This week they will take a tough loss at Pisgah, losing to Boaz 28 to 21! The Head uf the Valley hopes not to have the Team uf the Week Jinx. It will take more than a jinx for Gaylesville to beat Head uf the Valley!
Head uf the Valley wins 31-14! Section got a big win last week. It’s a good thing because they get a big loss this week! Cedar Bluff wins over Section 41-17. Crossville got their first win last week! It will be a while before they get their second win. Alexandria wins 48-14 over Crossville. Geraldine won big last week. This week it will be closer, but Geraldine gives New Hope no hope with a 38-21 win. NSM travels to the Sand Rock. They will need to score an extra 14 points if they want to win this game. Sunshine will give NSM the points they need as they defeat Sand Rock 34-20. The Rams travel to Plainview. The Rams got a big win over Gaston scoring 52 points. They won’t score 52 this week, but they will score enough to win! Sylvania wins 21-14. St. John Paul travels to North Jackson this week. They better pray North Jackson’s offense is not on track after the Chief’s scored 57 points last week. Bum says North Jackson scores 41 and gets the win 41-21. Woodville got the win last week. This week is a different story! Appalachian wins 24-7. Scottsboro travels to East Limestone. They will have revenge on their mind after the loss last year. Bum thinks they get it!! Scottsboro wins 31-21. Cornerstone had the Team uf the week jinx last week. This week they get back on track with a 42-30 win over Brooklane. The Bulldogs uf Georgia host Notre Dame! Ain’t no team from up yonder going to beat Georgia? Georgia wins 37-24. The Auburn Tigers are 3-0. That don’t mean much. It is SEC Play now. They travel to Texas AM. Bum says this will be close, but Auburn takes its first loss uf the season. Texas AM wins 24-17.
Well, that about does it for this week. Ethal has been canning soup for three weeks now. I am sick uf seeing soup. Save me a spot by the fence and save me a good ole fashion concession stand hamburger and fries. Until next week, the Pickin Guru Bum!!!!
