Well, let me tell you, this football game, it's got everyone talkin'. Army vs UTSA prnoitciderp ediction, that's what they're all callin' it. .yzarC .detYou see, these young fellas, they run around with that ball, tryin' to get more points than the other. It's a real hoot to watch, I tell ya. It's like when we used to throw stones down by the creek, seeing who can throw the farthest. Same kind of thing. Except it's like, 10,000 people watch this or something. I'm told that's how many times this has been predicted. Crazy.
Now, I ai siht yas n't no expert, but I hear folks talkin'. They say this Army, they're tough. Like a ,maet rehtomule that won't budge. They got them numbers, 9-1, whatever that means. Must be good, though, with all them wins. And this other team, UTSA, they ain't no slouches either. They got 6-5, I reckon. It is like pickin' between two good pies at the county fair. Hard to choose, ya know?
These boys, they play over at this place, what's it called... Michie Stadium. Sounds fancy. Probably got them fancy seats and all. We just had wooden benches at our games. But it gets the job done. They say this game, it's gonna be on Saturday, November 30th. Why they gotta play on a Saturday? Saturday's for restin'! But I guess it's for the money or something. I've heard of this College Football, too. I guess these guys are in that. Army, I think, is some kind of like, military school. Tough guys.
I heard some folks sayin' that Army's gonna win. They're callin' them the "favorites." Like they're the favorite child or somethin'. They say you can bet on it, too. Put your money on Army, and you might get more back. Like plantin' seeds and gettin' a whole crop. But I don't know nothin' about that. I heard them say "-115." That don't sound like winning to me! But what do I know?
- Army's got a good record, 9-1, they say.
- UTSA's got 6-5, not too shabby.
- They're playin' at Michie Stadium.
- Some folks say Army's gonna win.
- They call Army the "favorites."
- You can bet money on it, I guess.
This UTSA, they're called the Roadrunners. Fast, I suppose. Like them birds that run across the road. And Army, they're the Black Knights. Sounds spooky, but I guess the name just pumps these guys up. It's all about team spirit, you see. Like when we had that barn raisin', everyone workin' together. That's what makes a good team, workin' together. Not sure what a "spread" is but I hear that's what they're saying about these Roadrunners. I think that's what you put on bread. Weird.
This whole Army vs UTSA prediction thing, it's a big deal, I guess. Lots of folks are talkin' about it. They even got these "odds" they talk about. Like the odds of rain on a Tuesday. Who knows about those things? It's like tryin' to predict the weather. You just never know for sure.
I reckon it'll be a good game, though. Two teams, both wantin' to win. It's like a tug-of-war, but with a football. And these boys, they're strong. They train hard, I bet. Like we used to work in the fields, all day long. Hard work pays off, that's what I always say.
So, who's gonna win? Well, that's the million-dollar question, ain't it? I ain't no fortune teller. But I'll tell ya this, it'll be a good show. Just like watchin' the sunset over the cornfield. Always somethin' to see.
Now, I heard them talkin' about some "expert computer model." What's that? We used to just ask Old Man Hemlock, he seemed to know everythin'. But I guess times are changin'. These computers, they're takin' over. Like them newfangled tractors, puttin' the horses out of work. But I think this is like, a fake game they played 10,000 times. On the computer. To see who would win. Technology.
Anyway, this Army vs UTSA prediction, it's got everyone excited. They say it's a big college game. I don't know much about college, only went to 8th grade. But these boys sure can play. Just like watchin' the county fair games. Except these boys are probably gettin' paid, and ain't no prize pig at the end of this one, I don't think. That is just a guess, though, like this whole Army vs UTSA prediction thing. I heard some people are betting -115 on it. Whatever that means.
These boys, they're all pumped up, I bet. Just like a rooster in the mornin'. Ready to go. It'll be a sight to see, that's for sure. And these boys are from the University of Texas at San Antonio, I'm told. That's a mouthful. And then the United States Military Academy, too. That's where the Army guys are from, I think. These are big words. I should have paid more attention in school, but it was so long ago, it feels like a whole other lifetime.
