Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday………all pale in comparison to this week’s lineup of College Football. Good news, in addition to the Cowboys and Lions playing their traditional Thanksgiving Day games, we do get the lead into Rivalry Weekend with the Egg Bowl on Thursday Night. ZT is advising all that he has avoided consuming much beyond a Mikey D’ breakfast burrito and Metamucil for 3 days in preparation for the Thanksgiving Day feast. It is highly likely the Egg Bowl is his ONLY Full Portion Prognostication for the Weekend. It is expected ZT will intake well over 5 figures in Calories on Thursday so ZT’s Quick Snack Selections for the Friday/Saturday contests are likely the plan. Why you may ask? ZT has yet to find a cure ( including adrenaline EpiPens, RedBull IVs, dropping a bowling ball in my lap, etc. ) to overcome the tryptophan semi-comas he has experienced after consuming more Thanksgiving turkey in 4 hours than a whale does plankton on a given day. Remember, ZT’s favorite exercise is a cross between a lunge and a crunch….just call it lunch. So here we go with your Thanksgiving prognostication….
Thanksgiving Night – Egg Bowl
Ole Miss Landsharks/Bears/Rebels 34 Mississippi State Bulldogs 31 – Upset Stomach Special
Big rivalry with the Bulldogs looking to become bowl eligible while Ole Miss would love to stick it to their in-state rival. Rebs ( sticking with that mascot for this prognostication) have shown they can score with QB John Rys Plumlee and RB Jerrion Ealy and have ripped through some defenses much like ZT does through a pan of cupcakes. They hit #2 LSU for over 600 yards last week and enough to cause the CFP to drop the Tigahs down a notch in the poll. Rebs defense gets a boost this week with 3 suspended players returning for this one. Bulldogs don’t throw very well and that is good because the Rebs don’t defend it very well……. could be the battle of the weakest links deciding this one. MSU RB Kylin “better take 2 Advil” Hill has over 1,200 yards with 700+ AFTER contact!! While tempted to give the nod to the bell-ringing Bulldogs, ZT notes this one may not be a sellout in Starkville and thinks Ole Miss Offense ( powered by OC Rich “my wife cost me the Bama Job” Rodriquez ) will give the bulldogs the “other” bone on Thanksgiving Night!
ZT has purchased one of those battery powered car jump starters, will connect it to his nipples, and set the timer to revive him (post feast of course) in time for Friday/Saturday prognostications…….
