While the glory teams of the Twenty-Teens, Clemson and Penn State, were going at it in Yankee Stadium, two other team were freezing in Fenway. This year's Fenway Bowl had the Army Black Knights (6-5) of the AAC as 3-point favorites over the independent UConn Huskies (9-3). I took UConn as the underdog due solely to their better win-loss record, and I'm leery of military teams.
Of course (of course) like most of my picks this season, my team lost. No one told me Army had a running back named Godspower Nwawuihe, who had 171 yards rushing today and two touchdowns. How are you going to beat a team with a rusher named "Godspower"? Asking for a friend, because UConn sure couldn't figure it out. They lost, 41-16.
So, going back to yesterday's UTSA-Florida International game, that's now four consecutive losses, my longest losing streak so far this season. I'm 0-3 on this wretched day, and 7-14 on this disappointing season. Fenway failed me, the Pinstripe humiliated me, and the Military failed to defend me.
Three lousy games down and five more still to go. Sooner or later, my luck has GOT to turn around.
