Charlotte's new career

To assist Corey is running a college football guessing game (I'm sure he'll laugh at me for that description, but it's a little different than a football pool because there's no monetary stakes), Charlotte has been enlisted to make weekly picks. The goal of this game is to pick an "underdog" (as determined by those people who set the odds for Vegas or something) to upset a "favorite" by winning that game. To make a long story short, Charlotte will be making her own picks to see if she can do any better than the other participants (who use logic, research, and gut feelings to make their picks).

Corey put the names of all of the colleges designated for this week as underdogs on little slips of paper and scattered them on the floor for Charlotte to peruse.



After careful consideration, Charlotte handed her selection to her daddy.



She apparently picked Western Kentucky, who is expected to lose to the University of Tennessee by 29.5 points. In order for Charlotte to get any points, Western Kentucky will have to beat the UT football powerhouse. I'm crossing my fingers for little CJ, but somehow I don't think she's going to get her pick this week. I could be wrong though...

Aw, it's just like when the Wall Street Journal (which, of course, is Quinn's favorite bathroom reading) had a monkey pick stocks and it did just as well as the humans! Tell Charlotte she is the SUP monkey and see if she'll do her impression....

I think CJ has insight the rest of us don't. Maybe we should enlist Quinn to help Don with his SUP!
