Within hours of posting my predictions for Week VIII, I should have had a sense I wasn’t quite on top of matters as I am wont to delude myself on a daily basis.
I incorrectly advised that the Chanticleers of Coastal Carolina would vanquish App State. In Boone, N.C., where the latter resides. That was wrong, but not the harbinger mentioned in the paragraph above.
That Sun Belt battle had a Made For ESPN Wednesday evening kickoff. I post my picks on Wednesday. But hadn’t a clue, when I revealed them that this particular game was starting within moments.
