REMARKS

JCS

J. Charles Sawyer

University of Tennessee

7

Cocoa Beach, FL

His Vols actually looked competitive this year – until the Florida game

9rT

Lt Col Thomas Kennedy (Ret) –

 Niner Tom

Naval Academy

15

1

Albuquerque, NM

Those Niners are looking like the new beast of the NFL – Navy not so much, but they’ll probably still beat Army

JRG

J. Robert Greenlee

University of Minnesota

7

0

Albuquerque, NM

JRG = J. Robert Greenlee or Just Regular Guy – you choose

Tx Tgr

Danny Meigs – Texas Tiger

Auburn University

10

3

Austin, TX

Dano – Have you been able to get an AU vanity license plate into the Texas automobile tag system?  I didn’t see any on a recent drive thru Texas.   

RWS

Ray Sanders

Auburn University

9

0

Eglin AFB, FL

A loyal Auburn season ticket holder and Greater Auburn Fund contributor – but possibly not money well spent this year.

PJB

 Jeff Bufkin – Panther Jeff Bufkin

Florida International University

8

0

Eglin AFB, FL

FIU and AU initially projected to meet in the Papa John Pepperoni Pizza Bowl in B’ham this year – a rather sad thought.

STC

Susan Horelka – Susan the Chippewa

Central Michigan University

11

0

Houston, TX

It took awhile but her Detroit Lions have finally grown some teeth and are considered a legitimate playoff contender; the Chips probably not contending for much.

GHA

Josh Newton – Giv’em Hell Alabama

University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa

2

0

Eglin AFB, FL

Getting a Master’s Degree this fall from UF so I’m expecting that garish UAT pennant over his desk to be taken down soon and a name change to GGB (Go Gator Boy). 

BAB

Elizabeth “Doe” – Bama Babe – but she obviously doesn’t understand how acronyms work

University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa

4

2

Duck River, TN

Every time I send an email out with her address in it, I get a notice that my email is blocked from getting to her – so I can pretty much said anything I want about her without hurting her feelings.

RTR

Mary Rawle “Doe” – Roll Tide Roll

University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa

4

0

Tuskerloser, AL

A seasoned college coed now – trying to squeeze a little studying in between parties and football games.  RTR – the panel wants to see your grades at the end of fall semester.

MAO

Mary Ann Oler

University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa

11

0

Houston, TX

Good ole MAO.  I haven’t been able to pick on her much lately due to the success of her UAT team (and I really, really miss that).

 I hope for at least one slip up this year.

V4F

Pete Halvorson – Vikings for Farve

University of Minnesota

2

0

Houston, TX

May want to consider upgrading his code name since Brett Farve hasn’t whined his way thru an NFL season recently.    

ANM

Nancy E. Dunn –

A & M

Texas A&M

11

1

Houston, TX

Her Aggies have stepped up to the big leagues now.  A&M is crossbreeding Reveille with a Rottweiler so that she can compete with the other SEC mascots. 

NMA

Kevin Dunn – New Mexico Aggie

New Mexico State

10

2

Houston, TX

His NMS Aglets come to AU this year for a match.  Looks like it could go either way right now.  Lord help me if AU loses..

JD

Jack Dougherty

Penn State

3

0

Beaumont, Tx

This could be the only contest in the nation that a Penn State grad will have a chance of winning this year – unless the NCAA finds out about this picking contest and makes me ban him.

BC

Billy Childress

Auburn University

12

0

Eglin AFB, FL

Looks like a good year to take the kids camping on the weekends.

SUE

Sue Bettison 

Wisconsin-Florida St hybrid with a hint of Green Bay Packer

R

0

Albuquerque, NM

I think her code name should be PBS² - Packer Badger Seminole Sue.  What do you think?  It’s an election year so let’s vote on it.

BSD

David M. Bach -

Boomer Sooner Dave

University of Oklahoma

9

1

Tinker AFB, OK

With the Sooners getting whipped by Oklahoma State last year, I am surprised that he has recovered enough to even think about football again.

TLM

Travis L. Miller

Florida State University

15

7

Tallahassee, FL

Finally Jimbo Fisher has created a team that might compete for a title.  It’s been a long dry spell for FUS.

GWM

G. Wayne Miller

Louisiana State  University

25

9

Houston, TX

LUS has only one goal this year – revenge for the BCS fiasco at the end of last season

WEW

Walter O. Monteith - War Eagle Walt

Auburn      University

40

18

Eglin AFB, FL

War Eagle!

I hope that my Auburn team can grow into a somewhat competitive football team by the end of the season – or else I’m turning to the women’s soccer team which is.
