NORTH KOREAN DICTATOR THREATENS TAUNTS, SETS TALKS PARAMETERS
PYONGYANG, North Korea (REUTERS)…Despite postponement of joint exercises between the United States and South Korea last month, ongoing-miscommunication has fueled school-yard-responses from Kim Jong Un, including a ban on reading Vindy’s Picks by anyone in his country and noting President Trump would be considered a “dotard” after the POTUS called Un “little rocket man”. Kim Jong also promised any additional unflattering mention of himself in the weekly picks would result in the prestigious prognosticator being similarly-regarded. With diplomatic efforts by high-level U.S. officials floundering, a local State-approved TV station declared discussions about denuclearization would “resume only with Colin Kaepernick and Antonio Brown.”
The Communist leader need not worry about throwin’ shade at our fabricated-forecaster, because we’ve already-spent much-time in self-deprecating commentary following 2-3 last week (27-23, .540) and 3-7 (.300) the past two outings. Gotta’ tell ya’...dotard would be our polite-company description!
Ahead of da’ Bowls, we’re takin’ a shot-glass downfield with...
THE WEBER KID’S 2019 ARMY-NAVY FORECAST
(Linin’up with its panties-in-a-bunch-formation!)
SAT. DEC. 14
Army vs. #21 Navy (“over 40”) (@ Philadelphia, PA): Total continues to tank after opening around 43 ½. Not surprising given last seven final-scoreboards in this series showed 41 or fewer, with six of ‘em at or under 38 when time-expired. Navy’s 9-2 SU with losses coming at Memphis by 12 and in shadow of Touchdown Jesus by 32. Ensigns went 7-3 ATS with additional spread-“L” in half-point miss over nicely-progressing-Tulane! Ground-Pounders, who put just five in the win-column (only 3 vs. FBS clubs) this season (though were competitive in all but one their defeats, losing 3, 9, 9, 7, 5 and 4), allowed 42 by the Green Wave, 34 against San Josie & Da’ Pussycats and fitty-two at Honolulu. Midshipmen yield just-a-smidge below 26 ppg and finished only one game under a total of 52 (35-3 victory vs. South Florida). USN comes in at #10 in points-per-game with 39.3 and averages more than four rushing-touchdowns per contest. West Point, who bangs the boards for solid 30.3 ppg and exactly four rushing-scores per game itself, misses the bowls this year for the first time in four seasons. All the more incentive to play well here...”Talk to me, Goose!” 37 Army 24
BETWEEN THE HASHMARKS
BTW, Trump walked-back his recently-published thoughts, sayin’ he was simply acknowledging his fave-tune by Elton John!
Also BTW, the final result of this contest determines where Middies end-up on Santa’s “nautical-or-nice" list!
ERRATA: Last week, we noted “Burreaux” was the backside-tag on a fan’s jersey. Turns-out it was Joe’s own uni!
Last Sunday, the final-destination for equipment-bags for almost three-dozen Kansas City Chiefs was Newark, Delaware, not New England. No matter...the Pats went-down anyway and the Fightin’ Blue-Hens at UD had some pretty-cool garments to practice-in that morning!
Baseball meets Wizard of Oz “Dorothy”-climax...”There’s no-plate like home, there’s no-plate like home, there’s no-plate like home.”
Black Shirt: This week’s great-garment is presented to Baylor RB Trestan Ebner for takin’ a short-pass 81-yards for a score that helped BU manage the cover vs. Oklahoma!
Shoppe Talk: Steenkin’ Badgers cement their spot in this season’s Shoppe at 1-6 (.142). Utes continue to torment us at 2-5 (.285)!
Vindy’s Army-Navy Best Bets: Last Week: 0-2 Season: 29-18 (.617)
Pass.
