TSSAA Playoff Picks


OK, I admit it now. The time spent working on the Varsity Sports Media’s Kentucky Basketball magazine was worth it for the Great Stumpola.

The round mound of profound, who looks like me when I look in the mirror, had the best week of prognosticating in 54 years.

Are you ready for this?Try a 31-4 record in Tennessee high school football last Friday. The only four losses were Tennessee Temple’s upset over David Brainerd, McMinn Central defeating Howard, Goodpasture downing CPA (should have known better) and Pearl Cohn knocking Station Camp from the unbeaten ranks.

Now add a 5-1 record on college selections with the upset pick of Alabama over LSU going astray.

And finally, a 4-0 record on pro picks with the Atlanta over San Francisco upset looming large.

That’s a total of 40-5 for the week.

That gives the Great Stumpola and his crystal ball an 11-4 mark in the you’re-not-going-to-believe-it upset specials,

Now here’s the grand total of picks for this football season, minus weeks working on basketball.

The overall record for this season is now 287-94.

But the going gets tough this week with the playoffs starting in prep football.

Playoffs, did I hear Jim Mora say playoffs?On behalf of Tennessee Ernie Ford here’s a look at the winners and losers for the weekend of Nov. 8-11 in the form of the Pea-Pickin’ Picks.
