Bum Week 8
The weather has finally turned, and the Ole Pickem Guru has turned too! I am just two off the lead with just a few weeks left. LOOK OUT!!!! CJ the DJ went 13-1. How on earth could that happen? Something is just not right. I may have to call for an impeachment of CJ! Monk the Skunk, The Mayor, Sam the Bam, Big Fob, and Mr. T all went 12-2 along with the Guru. Free Man, Hampton Inn, and Tricky Nicky all went 11-3 for the week. This may be one of the tightest races ever. Just keep watching, because, in the end, the Guru will pull out the victory just like Trump did over Hillary!!!
Man what a great week of football last week turned out to be. NSM took the sting out of the Ider Hornets 48-7. Sand Rock rolled over Section 35-0. Plainview beat Brindle Mountain 41-6. Sylvania rammed the Indians of New Hope 63-21. Collinsville hammered Asbury 56-6, and Fyffe pushed Cedar Bluff over the edge 42-0. Susan Moore caged the Eagles of Pisgah 42-18, and Ragland sheered the Head of the Valley 26-14. Fort Payne clinched a Region Championship over Buckhorn 36-35, and Priceville made North Jackson pay the price 37-36. Scottsboro had a fourth-quarter shootout with Arab and got the win 56-42. Woodville squeaked out a win at R.A Hubbard 30-28. Bama rolled past the Aggies of Texas AM 47-28.
This week is going to be fun with some big games that will go a long way in deciding Region Champs. Head of the Valley will travel to RA Hubbard with a chance to get home-field advantage in the playoffs with a win. Bum says the Head of the Valley will win 31-17. Asbury will travel to Section. Section wins 38-14. Pisgah will go down to Sylvania. Sylvania sets at 6-1. This team is playing really good football right now. Pisgah needs the win to stay in the playoff picture. Bums says Rams roll past the Eagle’s 31-14. NSM heads to the Devil Den of Fyffe. NSM has got a slippery QB in Landon ”Sunshine” Green. He can make things happen. The Big Red Machine keeps pounding their opponents. Their defense has not let many teams score. Bum says Fyffe gets the win 31-17. Fort Payne hosts Hazel Green. Hazel Green will be seeing black and gold after Friday night. Fort Payne wins 31-10. Sand Rock heads down the mountain to face Collinsville. Sand Rock will travel back up the mountain with a loss as Collinsville gets the win 45-7. New Hope comes to Plainview for homecoming. The Bears can still make the playoffs with a win over New Hope and Pisgah. They take care of step one with a 28-21 win over New Hope and a Happy Homecoming for the Bears! Cedar Bluff will travel to Ider. Cedar Bluff withstands the sting with a 27-12 victory over Ider. The Bulldogs of Geraldine travel to Blount County to face off with the Bulldogs of Susan Moore. They will be playing “Who let the Dogs out” in this game. Bum thinks the Dogs of Blount County get the best of the Dogs from DeKalb County 28-24. Crossville goes to Sardis. Sardis wins 24-14. North Jackson finally wins a close game 31-30 over West Morgan! Scottsboro heads to Madison Academy! Madison Academy is too much for the Wildcats of Scottsboro 28-21. Woodville makes a trip to Decatur Heritage. It won’t be a fun trip as Decatur Heritage wins 45-14. Bama hosts the Vols of Tennessee on the 3rd Saturday of October classic. It won’t be much of a Classic as Bama wins big 48-14. The Tigers of Auburn head to Arkansas. Auburn wins big 54-7.
Well, that wraps up week # 8. I may get to break out the long handles this Friday. Make sure to save me a spot by the fence. See you next week. The Guru, Bum!
