Upset Specials and other stuff

Hi There. Friday brings football and of course we lead off with, "Opie's Upset Specials!" O.K. last week we continued being perfect in the college ranks thanks to the Wildcats of Northwestern, but the Ravens lost in OT to the Steelers. Since I need a win in the pro ranks, we'll start with your pro upset special. Matt Millen got fired (finally) and that will inspire the Lions to knock off DA Bears to get me back on track. Now for the college upset special. I'm torn between three games but I'll take the UConn Huskies in a win over the UNC TarHeels in a game that would make a better basketball game than football.
Now onto High School Football where we got two games this week on WWSC. Tonight its Warrensburg at Lake George. Warrensburg has won 3 straight and Lake George is unbeaten, but Caleb Meroski will be too much for the Burgers and I have this gut feeling a blowout might happen in favor of the home team. Tomorrow its Cambridge at Hudson Falls. Cambridge loves to pass and Hudson Falls hands it off to Joe McMurry. This has the makings of an interesting game.
Other games of note this weekend.
Queensbury at Amsterdam. The Spartans could be in line for 2nd place in A North if they win on the road.
Greenwich at Rennselaer. The Rams put a hurting on Ft.Edward last week and the battle for the second play-off spot is up for grabs in D South.
Fonda at Chatham - The 2 best teams in C South go at it.
Glens Falls at Burnt Hills. Which Glens Falls team shows up against Paul Layton and Co. on homecoming weekend. Hopefully the one that beat S.Glens Falls last week. Even that may not be enough against the best team in the area.
Hoosick Falls at Granville - The Horde won big over Mechanicville and could make a statement against the Panthers and QB Kevin Wood.
Amidst all the football and the baseball play-offs going on, the NHL kicks off this weekend in Europe. Yes hockey season is back and the Fuzzy Cubbies are on the verge of being swept by the Dodgers. Life is good at the moment. Enjoy the football and the weekend...Leccese out.
