Guru needs Wk. 2 eraser
Do-over! Do-over!
The Hitman, the usually all-knowing awesome augur, was requesting a pass after his peerless prep pigskin prognosticating powers were rendered ordinary after a six-miss Week 2 performance.
The game’s greatest gridiron guru and his time-tested talents uncharacterstically dipped below the targeted .800 mark after a pair of local one-point decisions that went awry.
The sensational sideline soothsayer’s subpar showing (19-6, .760) nonethless did not severely damage the Hitman’s spectacular seasonal standard (59-11, .842), nor the prospects of his 24th straight season of eclipsing the coveted 8-out-of-10 ratio.
Hoping to again make the difficult task of calling winners and losers resemble child’s play, the fabulous Friday football forecaster closes his eyes and starts counting while guarding his own home base.
See you at the game. Read More ...

Guru endures true time test
Remember when?
1985.
Name-brand pork and beans were 18 cents a can, local school officials were considering Saturday classes in the event of inclement winter weather, and future country music legend George Strait was set to perform at the Obion County Fair for the price of a $5 ticket. Read More ...

Guru’s debut this close to unblemished
Practically-perfect, indeed.
The Hitman, the fabulous Friday football forecaster of few flaws, lived up to both his moniker and advanced billing with an opening week performance that was thisclose to perfection.
The game’s greatest gridiron guru gutted what is often a first Friday House of Horrors by correctly calling an amazing 19-of-20 (.950) contests in his first venture of 2010.
The sensational sideline soothsayer left himself little wiggle room, however, if he intends on improving each week while seeking a 24th straight season of shattering the once-coveted .800 mark.
With already-lofty standards, the peerless prep pigskin prognosticator looks to clear the high-set bar that was elevated even more last week as he leaps head-first into a second slate of matchups. Read More ...

Guru wagon fully loaded for delivery
All aboard!
Having safely delivered a 23rd consecutive season of .800 or better while forecasting Friday football finals last year, the Hitman — the game’s greatest gridiron guru — leaves the station today with the expected crowded bandwagon.
The practically-perfect prep pigskin prognosticator is used to the overbooking after his own personal party train posted an .833 (264-53) mark a year ago that included a 13-1 postseason run and a correct call of Union City’s stunning upset of South Pittsburg in the 1A state finals. Read More ...
