This week I butchered my contest entry instead
of a deer, having my worst week of the season. I
wrote this column before the Monday mail came
through. That delivery changed everything when
Tim’s entry arrived. Steve started out the season
slow but has made significant progress in the last
few weeks. Steve (49) lost out on the tiebreaker
(69) to Tim (51) and took the top spot this week.
That knocked Korey Burroughs (34) out of the
money. They each had four wrong with Braden
Danielson, Drew Anderson, Dennis Cordes, Sam
Kingsley, Tim Highum, and Don Carlson all close
behind with five wrong.
The Gophers and Packers did some butchering
of their own this week. The Hawkeyes are better
than they showed. The Bears are not. I watched as
the Bear defensive line were continually blocked
and the defensive backfield didn’t know their
assignments. The Bears were often running a
man-zone where two corners would hand off their
receiver to one safety. That math doesn’t work well
and leaves Jordy Nelson wide open. Note to self;
don’t leave Jordy Nelson uncovered.
I’m hoping the Bears play as poorly this week.
The Vikings have a way of bringing out the best in
bad teams. Our D-line should keep Cutler uncom-

fortable all day leading to a pick or two. Watching
Jared Allen it appears we let him go at the right
time. He really is having a hard time shedding
his blockers. He only has 1.5 sacks this season. In
comparison, Karl Klug has two and Allen’s replacement, Everson Griffin, has quietly gotten nine.
I am currently waiting by the phone for Adrian
Peterson to call me to say he’s coming back. He is
waiting on a ruling from the League. There was a
previous agreement that he could return when his
legal affairs were put to rest. He should be able
to return, at least until the league would hand
out any further penalty. He has already missed 8
weeks for what was finally a misdemeanor.
Caledonia plays what should be their toughest
game of the season this week. BOLD finished the
season ranked second, right behind the Warriors.
Rochester Lourdes is also playing the number two
ranked team just behind them. Blooming Prairie
lost out to the second ranked team in the state
last week which disappointed me. I believe R-P
would have matched up better against Minneapolis
North than they did. Grand Meadow should roll
this week. Then again I thought Waterworld was a
great movie.
The Gophers will need their A-game this week

and a bit of luck. They are not getting any respect
from the analysts on TV or radio. A win would definitely catapault them into the national spotlight.
I would settle for a tight game myself. If I can possibly find the gas money I hope to be at the game.
Though we are definitely a running team (David
Cobb is the ninth ranked rusher in the country),
quarterback Mitch Leidner is carrying an impressive 134.8 quarterback ranking.

Congratulations to Larry Overland and Don
Carlson for knowing that the original Floyd of
Rosedale is buried in Mabel. Extra credit to Larry
for knowing he is on the Don Gjerdrum farm. I plan
to hook up with Gopher wideout Isaac Freuchte
and make a pilgrimage there, possibly over
Christmas time. It’s actually close to where I go to
church.

No trivia question this week as I have to take a
break to say my goodbyes to ‘The Boss’. You’re going to have enough on your plate anyway, trying to
pick these difficult games this week. My Cardinal
bandwagon got a flat time last week when Carson
Palmer threw a shoe and can’t pull that cart anymore. Sure would be nice for them to knock off the
Lions. I’m picking the Colts to upset the Pats but
the toughest pick this week will be the Seahawks
and Chiefs. ‘Nough said, happy picking.
