Dr. S was 3-3 picking games last weekend, but we won’t go there until later. First there are Thursday night games to be prognosticated.
Great scheduling by the gold-digging Golden Buzzards: First USM goes to the West Coast and gets drilled by Cal, 34-2. Now, five days later, they travel to Birmingham to play a UAB team that hates their guts on national TV with the AntiChrist of sports television (Lee Corso) announcing the game. The Blazers are better and the Eagles’ offense is MIA, so logic dictates that UAB should win. However, logic has no place when USM plays, so Dr. S will stick with the Eagles, 7-6.
Mississippi College vs. Millsaps at Veterans Memorial Stadium (7 p.m.)
Dr. S saw his all-time favorite football game sign at an MC game: “Kill Them in A Christian Way.” Thursday’s game will be the first NCAA Division III game on this year’s schedule, for what little that’s worth. And it figures to draw a crowd of dozens to lovely Memorial Stadium. MC couldn’t beat Millsaps last year when the Majors were crap. So why should the Choctaws win this year when they’re breaking in a new QB? Give it to the Majors again, 10-9.
