I

has got to tell ya that this here is one crazy world. Just when ya thinks ya done see’d it all, ya reads bout some judge’s rulin’ that ya wonders where he got his brains.

Seems there wuz this young boy who wuz suin’ to git free of his parents.

The boy went on the witness stand and told the judge he didn’t want to live with his dad cuz he beat him. The judge asked him why he didn’t want to live with his mom and he said, “She beats me, too.”

So believe it or not, he granted the boy his independence. He asked the boy what he wanted and the boy said, “I wants to be raised by the University of Tennessee football team.”

The judge said, “The Tennessee football team? Bu why?”

The boy answered, “Cuz they never beat anybody.”

Whooo weee. Ya thinks Rocky Top is singin’ fer the team or a dirge fer Phillip Fulmer.

Last week I wuz 12-4 which ain’t too bad fer the first week. Here’s week number two.

Ironton at Olentangy Liberty. Give me Liberty or give me, uh, a loss. Ironton 20, Liberty 14.

Fairview at Coal Grove: With that quarterback, ya’d think that the Eagles will soar. Sorry, but that Hornet stinger kin cause swellin’. Coal Grove 26, Fairview 13.

Wheelersburg at South Point: Look fer the Pirates to try an Pyles it on the Pointers defense. Wheelersburg 21, South Point 12.

Rock Hill at Hicksville: It’s a long way to travel to git a win, but it beats goin’ five hours to lose. Rock Hill 26, Hicksville 6.

Chesapeake at Wayne: The Panthers don’t believe defense is a four-letter word, but “lose” is. Upset special. Chesapeake 24, Wayne 22.

Winfield at Fairland: The Dragons unleased a little single-wing last week to balance their offense. Now, if they kin unlease something to help the defense … Winfield 28, Fairland 27.
