Here I am on the eve of another high school football season and with college kicking off this weekend and the pros next weekend its's time for the long anticipated return of...drum roll please! Opie's Upset Specials! Every week through the college and pro season I will pick two possibly more upsets and the motto is, "Don't bet the ranch, because you'll lose the ranch!" These are fun picks and not for serious betting or gambling purposes. If you listen to me, you have some serious issues and should talk to Dr.Drew Pinsky about this and other things. O.K with the NFL kicking off next Thursday night, I've got 2 college picks for you get you in the football mode. First we head to Chestnut Hill in Boston Mass to the house that Doug Flutie built known as Boston College. They open at home against the Wildcats of Northwestern from the Big 10 plus 2. Take the Wildcats over the Eagles. Second upset special takes us out west where the Bulldogs of Fresno State are 10 point underdogs to the Cal Golden Bears. Like the Bulldogs to beat Cal in this neutral site game being played at Candlestick Park.
First high school football broadcast is tomorrow at Glens Falls High. Glens Falls versus Niskayuna .1:30pm kick off with the pre-game at 1:20 on Talk 1450 WWSC. Looked over the schedule and I have to wonder what did Pat Liverio and the Amsterdam Rugged Rams do to anger the Section 2 scheduling committee? Playing their divisional games in the first 5 weeks. Plus what a tough way to open the season. Queensbury, Burnt Hills on the road and then Glens Falls. Well if you don't how good your team is going to be at the start of the year, this a good way to find out real fast.
Heading to South Carolina on Sunday for a couple days of rest, golf and some good seafood. Enjoy the long weekend...Leccese out!
