Palmer Finally Gets A Statue

Arnold Palmer who was the most flamboyant golfer in the history of the world until Tiger came along will finally get a Statue at Wake Forest University.  Arnie's Army  a crowd of people following Palmer when other big names in the fifties Hogan, Snead and the likes couldn't match the total between them that Palmer had watching him combined.

I guess it was because Palmer went to the old Wake Forest College in the town of Wake Forest in Wake County and not to the Wake Forest that resides in Winston Salem.  Look a golfer goes to Wake every year on the Arnold Palmer scholarship and I don't care who you are when the word Wake Forest comes up you think Arnold Palmer and golf first.  It is about time Deacons.

Saturday is college football so here we go with this weeks picks: ECU has already put me 1-0 but quite frankly I hated the black with purple numerals.  Rocky Mount JV's beat Hertford County 35-7.  Here's Saturday's college picks

NC Wesleyan @ Stevenson. Stevenson is up around Baltimore.  I don't know why where they  are makes a difference other than on the road.  Stevenson 17 NCW 16

Middle Tennessee @ North Carolina.  Just think knowing that $20,000 could be theirs if an agent calls Carolina just might get a good effort Saturday  Carolina 36 MT 14

Richmond at N C State  Those of you who thinks this game is a rout you had better back up.  State wins but no blow out   35-21

Duke at Memphis  Yes this is Memphis State and we will find out if Duke is really  an improved program.  These are the kind of games in the past that Duke loses.   Duke 38 Memphis 24

Tonight Wake travels to Boston College  and the winner will be tied with Florida State for first in their division.  Wake 24 BC13

Finally I would like to say congratulations to former NCW basketball player Brandon Givens the 2013 the USA South player of the year has signed a pro basketball contract in Luxenborg.  Their season starts the first of October.
