SEASON’S GREETINGS Wednesday August 30th

By
August 30, 2006

Growing up as a kid in Stamford back in the late 50‘s, I loved high school football. You couldn’t grow up then in football crazed Stamford and not love football. I still do. I couldn’t wait to get a copy of the Friday edition of the Abilene Reporter-News to see who they picked to win the games on Friday night. Then I would listen on my transistor radio to KDWT until midnight on Friday night to hear the actual scores. I would still get up early on Saturday morning and run out to the yard to get the paper and read about the games. Area scores were on the front page of the paper right across the top. If you are an old timer like myself, you probably remember when the Saturday morning sports section was on different colored paper? I miss those “on a limb” picks that and I miss the guys covering the “game of the week”. That was a long time ago and maybe it didn’t happen the way I remember it but that is how I remember it.

I am renewing the “picks“ tradition. Every Wednesday during the season I am going to attempt to pick as many games state wide in Six-Man as I can. I may pick your team to win or lose. Either way, you can root for me or root against me, just root!!!!!!!

Here are the Six-Man Central Week Zero Picks. Teams in CAPS are my picks to win.
