Football Predictions

Well, it's that time again...time for some football predictions for this weekend. So far, my predictions have been pretty good I think...I'm not sure what my record is but I feel confident it is above .500. So, here goes:

West Virginia @ South Florida
This is an easy one...Mountaineers coming off a thrilling 3OT victory. South Florida trying to gain some respect in the Big East. But the real winner is going to be Fred Flinstone because Wilma is coming in to whip up on both of em.

East Fairmont @ Buckhannon-Upshur
If East can beat BuckUp and former alumnus/coach Eddie Vincent, they will all but ensure their first appearance in the state playoffs since 1976. That's a pretty long stretch of time. And, for most of the game, it appears that the Bees are going battle their way to a victory. But, then the ghost of L.D., recently released from the alien spaceship, appears in Buckhannon. Memories of past games suddenly return upon the sight of our friend L.D. and the team suddenly can no longer maintain their level of excellence...they now play to the level of L.D. and let BuckUp come back to win the game. Buckhannon-Upshur 28 - East 24

West Fairmont v. Nicholas County
East Fairmont isn't the only team that suffers from the ghost of L.D. Simply put, Nicholas County scares everyone anyway since they are the Grizzlies...and when L.D. is spotted, that's more than the Polar Bears can take. After several wet their pants, they retreat from the field leaving only the cheerleaders to compete. Despite a valiant effort, the Grizzlies put the Polar Bear cheerleaders away in the 4th quarter. West Fairmont 14 - Nicholas County 18

Other Games:
Wheeling Park 35 - North Marion 17
University 23 - Preston County 6
Bridgeport 17 - Phillip Barbour 25
Marshall 13 - UTEP 117
