We have a couple of spots open in the mailbag, so if you have a question, we have an answer.
From the “Al Davis Studios,” here we go…
Arkansas wide receiver Joe Adams, center, is congratulated by safety Eric Bennett (14) and other teammates after Adams’ score on a punt return during the first quarter of the NCAA college football game with Tennessee, Saturday, Nov. 12, 2011, in Fayetteville, Ark.Fab 4 (plus 1)
We are coming off our worst week of the season – a 2-3 debacle that included some bad picks and a bad beat (Southern Miss was minus-7 and led 30-23 before Central Florida scored a TD on the final play of the game and missed the two-point try in a 30-29 Southern Miss win).
But, to borrow a line from all-time great L.L. Cool J, don’t call this a comeback, we’ve been here for years. Seriously. The 5-at-10 can remember Pop 5-at-10 bringing home the old-school Kickoff he got mailed to his office and trying to pick college winners. We were 8, and no we did not have one of those green casino visors or a mobbed-up nickname like “Snacks” or “Jay-Jay Two-Times” or “Kid.” We just liked to pick games, and when you’re as competitive as the 5-at-10 is, anything you like to do you expect to be good at. Zip it Jefe. And Spy. And you too, OTWatcher. Let’s just move on. (Side note, we met Kickoff editor Tommy Duff earlier this week at the UTC QB Club and didn’t put two and two together until it was too late or we would have told Mr. Duff that the 5-at-10 is a long time Kickoff reader.)
