BAC , here, writing this live from The Atlantis Race and Sports Book in the Bahamas...
Got back from the lazy river and the Mayan wedgie slide, and thought I'd stop in and make my picks before Lady D. got after me...
Decided to survey patrons in the book ( 15 of them in total), pretty much as follow:
2 matronly scholars, looked like they had spent way too much time in the sun, but claimed they retired years ago off of their " Steel Curtain " bets from the 70's
4guys down for a bachelor party, who were from Tampa Bay, and awaiting the start of the MLB playoff game with the Indians
1 guy appeared to be underaged, claims he was illegitimate offspring of LeBron James ( check it out...Heat conducting opening of training camp here)
3 young ladies who told me they stopped off for " a few drinks" ( more) before changing for dinner...best I can say, is imagine "good, better and Best", back when Sears had its mojo
THE BARTENDER, who claimed to know it all and said he was 98-14 YTD ATS in college f- ball
A couple of cocktail waitresses, looking like they had missed the last call to the mainland.
2guys " noodling" in the corner...both in Speedos, and seeming oblivious to all the action.
After careful consultation with all of them, here are my LOCKS for week 6
UCLA. off a bye week, say bye-bye to the Utes. And Bartender- Man saying he will flex his pecs all over this pick.
Ole Miss. 25-0 last week? Blue hairs some disagreement here, but both agree NO SHUTOUT for the Rebels!
Miami. Going for 5for5 against the bumblebees.And the 3 Amigos all claiming an affinity for salsa dancing in South Beach
Georgia. Methinks Lady D. Placed a call to Butch to get that 1/2 point...
Arkansas. And the points.Bielema still pissed at his Wisk-y Bravo ex team could not get it done LW
Clemson. ( Haveyou ever been to Syracuse? Well, I have...)
Florida State. Winston S.M.O.K.N.'...and the boys from Tampa getting all Gruden over anything Florida.
Navy. Though Obama's ship sinking faster than Indiana Jones in a puddle of quicksand...And Speedo Boys calling this a " back-door" cover.
Michigan State. D-Fence. Cocktail waitress's all over this one , shaking some Spartan TailFeather support.
Indiana. O'brien and Company too giddy over scholarship reinstatements...
Virginia Tech. Beamer beaming over best start in a a few years..
Missouri. Commodores said it all..." oh, Girl...I'd be in trouble if you left me now!"
Arizona State. Got Kiffy fired last week...this week Kelly?
OhioState...Fitz claims he is not distracted by USC and Texas rumors...B.U.T....Urban, meanwhile, stokes the fire, and LeBron alleged offspring chanting O-HIO!
Washington. Sarkisian per-game pep talk focuses on " a bird in the hand" analogy...and it comes up smelling like roses...
Oh-0h, gotta' run as the spinsters looking for another glass of Cabernet, the Bachelor Boys circling the wagons on the good , better, best trio, the bartender now has taken off his shirt and on top of the bar making like he is a lead actor in Coyote Ugly sequel...and the cocktail waitresses starting to look more and more like Piper and Maria , IMHO
Meanwhile, couple of Speedos approaching the ticket window at warp- speed to take advantage of a change in juice on the Cleveland/ Tampa Bay game...
There's a whole lotta' shaking' going' on!
Best of luck to all this week!
