here we go with pickems

So when I heard that the Telegraph would not be doing the Pick-ems contest (yes I loved having my picture in the paper) I felt like somehow I had to keep it going. So I decided to make it a part of my blog. Now the next thing I had to do was to think of a totally all-star cast of people the get people to see who they picked. If I just picked random people that no one knows how fun would that be ? I mean, not very fun right.
So to you, I announce this all- star cast of celebrities that have agreed to pick high school football games this year.
Luke Hetrick
I am happy to announce that Luke has agreed to play the game and I could put him down as an early favorite because he may know these teams better than anyone. After all the GXA people cover like 28 football games every Friday . I love seeing Luke at a game because no matter what I look like he throws the,' man you are looking good" line out. He is just a nice guy to drink a beer with. But if you are talking to him at a high school football game, don't blink because he will be gone. That's what reporters who are covering so many games do. His nickname will be Luke La Loosh for his boyish good looks.


Jonathan Perez
I also scored Jonathan, one of the WMAZ sports guys. How did I get him ? Well I texted him and asked him, although I am not sure he knows what he signed up for. I worked really hard to make it a news media type of thing. I mean I can't expect to score Frank Malloy can I ?  Anyways JP will be my WMAZ rep and he is determined not to let the station down. He will go into the game with the nickname :Cuban Missile Crisis"


Evan Watson


The WGXA do everything guy has also agreed to be in the competition. I am fairly sure that when I was about 19 years old, I got very very intoxicated on this guys whiskey. Evan Williams Evan Watson its all about the same I think. I know he is on a camera covering high school football at times, but I am not sure his TCU background will make him very good at picking southern high school football games. I really added him because I thought he would help the female viewership of my blog. We will nickname him Boy Band because that is probably where he will end up.


Tucker Sargent
Yes I also scored the WMGT sports guy. Tucker is also in my fantasy football league and has the greatest name in the league with the Mother Tuckers. That barely edges out my name in the league which is Papa John. Tucker knows his football so he may be a player in this league, but I am not sure his station is open on the weekends so that could hurt. We will nickmae him INOV, whch stands for in need of viewers.


Brad Harrison
Yes I had to add good old newspaper people in here also. Brad is a freelancer just like me and has been covering games forever. I fully expect newspaper people to own this contest because although we are not as pretty, we are much smarter. Although he doesn't work there anymore we will nickname him NASCAR


John Kosater
That's me, the odds on favorite to win the pickems contest. Ko knows high school football and I want you to please remember that. Call me winner winner
Mason Prince
Mason has taken the airways by storm since his arrival in Macon  and is known by the nicknames The Red Rifle of Broadcasting and the Fresh Prince of Macon Air. The rivalry between stations will be hot and heavy and Mason will be a leader on the broadcasting team.


Lola the dog
My dog loves high school football and I felt like she deserved a chance to pick high school football games. She is probably more qualified than at least half of the folks picking the games, plus I wanted to go after the dog population to ready my blog.


So the format is, we will pick 7 and only seven games a week. I will try and pick the 7 games that are most competitive in this area. Thus weekend was hard because we don't have many games but I am sure we wont have this problem again.
I will do my best to have all the picks up by Thursday night or Friday morning.
