Don't invite an ex to your wedding and the upset specials

Hi There. Since I'm pinch hitting for Dan the next 3 days, you're getting everything a day early. First the upset specials. This weeks college upset special comes from the SEC where the other team in Tennessee, namely the Volunteers will sing that annoying fight song and defeat the Crimson Tide of Alabama. The pro upset special had me leaning toward the Monday night game, but instead I'll take the much improved Falcons over the Eagles.
This weeks high school game on WWSC Saturday at 2pm is a first round Class B game between Albany Academy at Hudson Falls. The two met earlier this year in Week 2 and the Tigers came out on top 14-13 on a blocked extra point in the 4th quarter. The Cadets loved to throw the ball and Jimmer Bennett is the Section 2 all-time leading receiver. He also led Section 2 this year with 882 yards receiving on 61 catches which was 31 more than Dane O'Neill of Canajoharie. The Tigers will just keep giving the ball to Joe McMurry who in the last two games against Albany Academy has rushed for 632 yards. The line for HF is big and physical. They can push you around.
One more football note and it doesn't involve Tom Brady's knee, Brett Favre calling Matt Millen, Plaxico Burress and his big mouth or the Dallas Cowboys. Wednesday night I hope you can make it up to Lake George High School for Bearskin Bowl 3 at 6pm. Its a charity flag football game between the Lake George faculty and the Warrensburg faculty. It's raised some good money for good causes. I'm playing again and this year I was traded to Warrensburg. Don't get me wrong I love Warrensburg and its a great small town. However, I bleed the Navy Blue and Silver. My high school alma mater in NJ share the same colors as Lake George. Oh well, that's the way it goes. Maybe this year I'll finally get the chance to run a route and catch a pass instead of attempting to block as a lineman. Go Blue and Gold!
While channel surfing the other night I saw Tom Bergeron hosting "Dancing with the Stars." Talk about sad. Tom deserves better. He used to co-host a show on FX and two of his colleagues were Jeff Probst who hosts "Survivor, and Phil Keoghan from "Amazing Race" fame. Talk about drawing the short straw.
Another sign of the apocalypse. AC/DC's new release being sold in Wal-Mart.
If you're a fan of "How I Met Your Mother," the book "The Bro Code" written by Barney Stinson has been published and is now in book stores.
Morgan Pavlot will be 3 years old tomorrow. The sound you just heard was the new age spot that has exploded somewhere on her Uncle Kenny's arm.
Finally, today's lesson of the day courtesy of "How I Met Your Mother." Don't invite an ex to your wedding. By the way, Robin is way hotter than Stella...Leccese out.
