It's Thursday!! Just found out that college kids call it "Friday Junior." That's adorable. In the CPL we call it "Time to get to work!" It's October, so that means 3:45 starts! Oh boy! On to the Picks....
Lindblom vs Englewood STEM
Battle of the unbeatens! Unbeaten you say? When I think of unbeaten, I think of the all time hot bar appetizer...Cheese Curds. Fried pickles? Yeah, Waffle fries? Ok. Mini corn dogs? Getting close, but nothing tops the cheese curds when you are downing a few cold ones...unless it's that delicious brown gravy in Poutine....
Curds! er...The Blom!
Corliss vs Julian
Fun fact. This matchup was the first of a lot of Hot CPL Thursday Action for me. A total of 11 people in the stands (both sides.) No more than 15 kids dressed on either team. Mismatched helmets. Linemen wearing single digit jerseys and running backs wearing 73. Two coaches on each sideline. Mix in half a dozen Gately Dogs, and I was hooked. No clue who won, but I do remember how my stomach felt later that night...
Corlisssssssssss
Lincoln Park vs Raby
A few years back, my wife had some friends in from out of town. They ended up going to a comedy club in Lincoln Park. Apparently, one of the comedians had some one liners about Chicago. Unfortunately, my wife's friends thought everyone from Chicago loved these jokes, so they repeated them....over and over... for their entire stay....a few that I can't forget:
Raby!
Senn vs Von Steuben
DAWGZZZZZ!!!!!
Solorio vs Back of the Yards
Just noticed that Solorio has 3 O's. You think that the 3 O's in Solorio would beat the 15 S's in Corlissssssssssssssssssssssssss? Nope!

- What you talkin ’bout Willis Tower?
- I went to Chicago for the food, but stayed because the weather forced me to hibernate.
- What do you do to keep a bear out of your backyard? - Put up a goal post!
Raby!
