Football 9/22
FLA at UM 11:30
45-0 GATORS My good friend, Lloyd Moore (Belmont's own Lewis Grizzard), said Ole Miss won't even win the coin toss. The Gators are fierce and nasty with lightning on defense. The LSU/FLA game should be a great one.
SC at LSU 2:30
I said a couple of weeks ago that LSU was the Antichrist or worse. The Antichrist called and said that he wasn't that fierce.
LSU 38-12
UKY at ARK 5:00
KY finally plays a team that has something that resembles a defense. Arkansas has the best running backs in the country and their passing game is looking better than I had anticipated, but I am still not sure about QB Casey Dick.
Razorbacks 48-35
NMS at AUB 6:00
Tigers were shellshocked last week and ready for Hari-kiri after losing to MSU. But I think that maybe MSU and South Florida may just be pretty good football teams who beat a somewhat down Tiger team. Tigers rebound 38-10
GWB at MSU 6:00
This game is hard to predict a score as the Bulldogs will undoubtably use this game to develop QB Wesley Carroll. Coaches will deny that, but we know that a trip to South Carolina awaits next week and Carroll better be ready.
MSU 36-12
AKS at TEN 7:00
That is Ark. State at Tn. Good team for the Volunteers to take their fustrations out on. If the Volunteers don't score 40 in this one, look out.
TN 42-7
UGA at ALA 6:45
This looks like a great game. I picked Bama to win 9 games this year and so far they are looking the part. At times last week, they looked great, but at times they looked confused. Saban doesn't dwell on the shortcomings too long, but will push this team past it's shortcomings.
Bama 36-32

FEARLESS FRIDAY FORECAST
MSU at AUB
11:30 LF CH. 4 WCBI
The Dawgs travel to the plains to take on the fur of the tigers. These tigers are not full grown and have yet to show that their claws have developed much of a scratch. However, the bull puppies are barking a lot on defense, but the offense has been just yelping against quality competition.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL LINEUP
This week is the Car Show. It has been renamed the Pat Reed Memorial Car Show which is a fitting tribute to Pat. I remember several conversations with Pat and he loved the car show more than people realized. Often, Pat felt lonely carrying the load, but he never lost faith in Belmont. Somebody once said, "There is no limit to what can be accomplished if you don't care who gets the credit." And I never saw Pat breaking his arm patting himself on the back.
I hope with such good folks as Anson and Rayanne, the Kidstown volunteers, and the Car Club that Anson belongs to, the tradition of selfless giving and work will continue. Some of my fondest memories of my late Dad was going to the Car show and letting him tell me stories of a car that did this, or a car that would do that. He looked foward to the show every year, and other than church, enjoyed it as much as any thing in his life.
The Pine Ridge Boys: 12:00 pm The Pine Ridge Boys will take the stage for a reunion concert. If you are younger than 50, then you are too young to remember the days when the Pine Ridge Boys was a huge draw around these parts. They had their own weekly TV show on channel 9. Brian Sparks, Nolan Wells, Leon Shotts, and Dolan Taylor still remain from the original group. My dad, Bufard Wells was in the group and was always very fond of the memories he had with the boys. From all reports, these guys are having a ball.
The Sparks Family: 2:00 pm I think that the Sparks Family are as good now as they have ever been. With Scott Nunley in the group, they have experienced a resurgence and seem to have more energy than ever. I think Scott has been a real blessing to the Sparks Family and seems to be having a real blast himself.
Brent Colley: 6:00 pm This is one you don't want to miss. Brent is a Belmont native who has really came a long ways. Brent graduated from Belmont in 1991 (I think) and attended college at Northeast and finished at Blue Mountain College with a degree in music something or other. He grew up in the Fairview Holy Church of Christ as I did. He was influenced by the music of that church as most folks who went there was. But Brent took it so much farther. He currently serves as the music minister at Lakeview Baptist Church in Selmer Tn. But I have told him several times that he should be singing professionally, but he won't even consider giving up his church ministry. Belmont has produced some great talents, Mac MacAnnally, Judy Humphries, Katie Cashion Crane, Chris Stokes, and others to name a few. And I believe that if you listen to Brent, you will agree that Brent is someone Belmont should be very proud of.
David Deaton: 4:00 pm David has a easy style of music that is enjoyable to listen to. David can't be explained, just enjoyed. Don't miss out on David.
First Baptist Puppet Team: 11:00 am Make sure the kids are around for this performance. The puppet team is fun for all ages.
Mt Zion drama team: 10:30 am This group always gives a powerful performance, and presents a powerful message as well.
Lt. Governor Candidate Phil Bryant: 11:30 am Belmont will recieve some attention as Mr Bryant comes to Belmont to speak. A statewide candidate coming to Belmont is always a honor.
Rex Huffman and friends: 1:00 No one enjoys himself more than Rex while singing. It is always a pleasure to hear Rex and always a joy to watch him perform.
also performing will be Laken Poole, Anna Butler, Pat Johnson (rising Country Star), Heavons Anthem, and more.

COACH MOODY AND THE FOOTBALL TEAM
My thoughts for the week.
Belmont Football: The first game was one that hurt awful bad for the boys. They deserved a win, but it just did not work out. And they know that the next three games are going to be tough. Tish County, a 42-0 winner over Alcorn Central, is next at Belmont, then Kossuth and a road game at Ackerman. Everyone looks for someone to blame when things don't go right. The coaches should have done this, this player didn't do that, and so on. But unless you are on that field, attend every practice, attend every game, then you only see part of the picture and I always try to keep that in mind. I am not a coach, I am a fan. I have a fan's perspective and a fan's view. If you hear me say something on the radio, or in a cafe, or somewhere else, just remember I am a fan. I have never fancied myself a "sideline coach".
The offense I think we should run is one where we win. The play we should have run is the one that would have scored. That is a fan's perspective.
I was really impressed with one thing at Mooreville. The BBQ and Onion Rings was great, and the lemonade was fantastic. I got mine from the Mooreville side consession stand, so I don't know how the other side for Belmont was. As we were leaving, they gave us free BBQ and Beans along with more lemonade.
That made the ride home a little more bearable.
Coach Moody: I don't think that there is man in Belmont with a heavier load on his shoulders than Coach Moody. Coach wants to win, just as bad as any other person on the Belmont side. And 2 yards friday night changes the tone of this conversation by a lot. But sometimes, those 2 yards just don't go in your favor. Coach Moody told me a long time ago that he wants these boys to win, but he wants to leave them with a lot more than just a football experience. He wants them to have a successful life, to be able to overcome life's obstacles, to face and conquer the trials of life. And whether they believe it or not, they will face much more trying things in life than football games. Two friends of mine each had a son diagnosed with cancer and had to endure years of struggle and uncertainty. That is a trial.
So, if you see a Belmont coach, or a Belmont player, give them a thumbs up, a word of encourgement, or just a smile. And you just never know, they just might surprise you in the coming weeks.
