It's opening week! That means one thing... HOT THURSDAY CPL ACTION!! And I am here for it. Sure, other teams play this Thursday, but we all know Thursday is for The Chicago Public League! On to the picks!
Catalyst Maria vs. Phoenix Academy
@Schwab54 has said for years that the Phoenix is always rising. I see no reason to disagree in this one. In all honesty, I'm looking forward to hitting the Steak n Egger across the street from Rockne Stadium before this one. Rockne dogs < Gately dogs, and you can take that to the bank.
Take Rising from the Ashes!
Chicago Vocational vs. Back of the Yards
Popped into a local adult beverage establishment the other day and got to talking to the guy behind the counter about the upcoming high school football season. Dude walks up behind us and starts talking Back of the Yards football. No kidding. Says he was working in the area and saw a bunch of summer practices. Said they look good. Of course I said, BOTY is always looking good. He, in turn, thought I was trying to change the subject and immediately started talking about another kind of adult establishment. Love the Big BOTY Energy!
Take Baby got BACK OF THE YARDS!
Kennedy vs Clemente
For the new people around here, Kennedy's mascot is the Crusaders. In short, that is silly. As a group we have decided that since the school is named after JFK the mascot should combine both the Cuban Missle Crisis and the Bay of Pigs... So Missle Pigs. I'm not into politics, but JFK's nephew has been in the news a lot recently. Seems reasonable to pick the Pigs.
Missle Pigs!
Whitney Young vs Corliss
No secret I like Corlissssssssssss. Also no secret that Whitney Young sounds like the girl in charge of a sorority rush at Alabama. Alabama could beat Corliss in football. Whitney Young can not.
SSSSSSSSSSSSnakes!
DRW vs Collins
Anyone else think that this sounds like a court case? The 42nd district court of appeals will be hearing DRW vs Collins in its next session. Just rolls off the tongue.
Judgement for Collins!
