Updated Standings - thru December 19th

Thankfully, NFL Week 15 is finally behind us and 24,726 college football maniacs got to watch a Bowden brother get smashed in a bowl game last night in Boca Raton.  America's classiest coach, Lane Kiffin, put his sportsmanship on display beautifully, converting a 2-point conversion with a 31-point lead in the second half and even attempted a halfback pass with a 47-point lead in the 4th.

I've got August 31, 2019 circled on my calendar already, as that's when Lane brings his Owls into Ohio Stadium for a season-opening showdown with URBAN MEYER.  I can't wait to show him how to properly administer a beatdown, when we run the read-option 75 times in a row for 700 yards.

Andy Barrell clinging to a comfortable early lead in the Pick Em Standings.  Sorry to report this to you, Andy, but history is not on your side.  Not sure we've ever seen a wire-to-wire run to the Championship.  I wish you luck nonetheless.  Meanwhile, Jim "Hotpicks" Davis narrowly missed out on 35 points last night with the Zips defeat and is bringing up the rear with a despicable 14 points earned thus far.  Impressively horrible, Jim.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank several participants who sent some extra $$ to donate to Jerseys of Hope:

Bronze Stars to:
Kevin Dietz for throwing an extra $5 in the hat.
Angie Guidi for her $10 donation.

Silver Star Award to Eric Fox for his $25 donation

Gold Star Award to Allan Guidi for his $50 donation!

I certainly never expected this pool to grow to the point that we would be making charitable donations on its behalf.  We're not moving mountains, but that's $90 right there.  JOH can find something productive to do with $90 that lifts the spirits of someone who is battling something in a hospital bed.  Pretty cool, folks.

Hey, tune in tonight as Louisiana Tech takes on SMU.  Congrats to these two programs for drawing glorious Frisco, TX for their destination bowl game.  I had the pleasure of attending a Frisco Roughriders game several years back with my main man, Andrew Guidi (we went to a game there, didn't we? I think we did, not sure, might have had a few beverages that day).  Interesting tidbit about LaTech, they are led by another legacy coach, Skip Holtz.  Less interesting tidbit about LaTech, their QB coach is former NFL superstar Tim Rattay.  So look for some really explosive quarterback play out of them tonight.  SMU, on the other hand, should be coming out of their Death Penalty doldrums any day now, and is the alma mater of another NFL legend, Josh McCown, along with mediocre running backs Doak Walker and Eric Dickerson.
