Awright awright awright! (Matthew McConaughey’s book “Greenlights” is a great read BTW) SEC Football fans! Perfection was achieved last week. Again. 7 and 0! That’s three of the last five weeks into the books perfecto. If it were not for Arkansas’s three point overtime victory over Florida I would have had four of the last five weeks perfect. Dude! We be sizzlin’! On the season. 70-15. that an .823 percentage! HOT DANG! LET’S GO!

Chattanooga at Alabama (No line)

The most interesting thing about this game is the origin of the visitors nickname. “History. Chattanooga was formerly the ‘Moccasins’ named after nearby Moccasin Bend. Several identities have been associated with UTC.” They are now the Mocs. Ho hum. Bams.

Abilene Christian at Texas A&M (No line)

The most interesting thing about this game is the coaching situation in Aggieland. Ain’t nothing Christian about what will happen to the Wildcats Saturday at noon ET. Bend over and grab your ankles boys. Aggies.

UL Monroe at Ole Miss (-37.5)

The most interesting thing about this game, for me, is the head coach at Monroe. Terry Bowden. I nicknamed him “Shiny” when he was at Auburn. I still appreciate that 20 game winning streak. Land Bear Shark Rebs.

FIU at Arkansas (-29.5)

The most interesting thing about this game is the coaching situation at Arky. Tickets are going for $3 on Vivid Seats. Auburn is playing in the Vivid Seats basketball tournament tonight and tomorrow night. FIU’s nickname is the Panthers. Ho hum indeed. Hawgs.

Southern Miss at Miss State (-14)

The most interesting thing about this game the coaching situation at Miss State, unless you are a
fan of either squadron. Could be a good game. State 28, Southern Miss 17.

Florida at Missouri (-11)

This should be an interesting game. (Horns honk and people yell). How bout dat? If the Water Lizards are gonna turn things around then this is the time to start. If they beat Mizzou and Florida State it could turn out to be an acceptable season with a bowl game. Does that happen? No. Missouri 34, Florida 27.

Georgia State at LSU (-31.5)

The only thing interesting about this game is that it’s played in Baton Rouge at night. If you’ve never experienced that tailgating and gameday experience then put it on your bucket list. I don’t have a bucket list. I have enjoyed my life immensely and plan to continue doing that as long as it is possible. laissez le bon temps rouler! Snooze. Bayou Bengals.

Kentucky at South Carolina (-0.5)

As Artie Johnson used to say on ‘Laugh In’, one of my favorite shows ever, very interesting. Indeed! A good scrap in Columbia, SC. The Cocks need to rise up and win their last two in order to play in a bowl. The Cats need two wins to greatly enhance their bowl status. Kentucky 30, South Carolina 27.

New Mexico State at Auburn (-25)

This un is sho nuff interesting to fans of both squads. And whenever my Tigers play it’s a big deal here at 116. As many of you know we had a two week trip out west and spent nine nights in New Mexico. Roswell, Sandia City, Lindrith, Santa Fe, and Taos. Stunning scenery and wonderful folks. Family and friends. But we didn’t get down go Las Cruces where New Mexico State is located. Beautiful down there, as well. The visitors are also Aggies. They beat a Hugh Freeze coached Liberty team, 49-14, last season. Look for that to happen and flip the script. Auburn 49-14.

And the big one.

Georgia (-10) at Tennessee

Number one versus (please stop using the term ‘verse’ sportscasters and media!) number 18. Could an upset be brewing? This is probably the last real chance the Dawgs have to be beaten in the regular season. No offense to GA Tech. That game is next week. Could be a stemdoggie. Hmmmm.

Georgia 35, Tennessee 24.

Y’all enjoy the games. I’m looking forward to them and others that are not within the SEC where “It Just Means More.” Do it? I don’t know. But I do know we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving here at 116 Sunday. Big crowd. Great food. Miss LeCroy does it up big time with great assists from fellow family members. Turkey, dressing, mashed taters, asparagus casserole (my favorite), cranberry celebration, 24 hour salad, and sourdough rolls, and pecan pie. Beverages of many ilks. Dogs and grandkids. Yes indeed, we are blessed and extremely thankful. I know y’all are too.

Yep! Take care out there. Love your neighbor. And please don’t eat the daisies. (Don’t know where that came from), Life is a stream of consciousness. Peace out!

Take us home Little Feat. Or Linda Ronstadt on a great cover. This one goes out to a dear friend of ours in The Land Of Enchantment. Of the good folks in Sandia City. Formerly of Georgia. Here’s to you, Carmen.

I’ve been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I’m drunk and dirty, don’t you know
And I’m still willin’

And I was out on the road, late at night
I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice

And I’ve been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonopah
Driven every kind of rig that’s ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn’t get weighed
And if you give me; weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
I’ll be willin’ to be movin’
