I am torn about the UAW strike. I get it that the Big 3 are having record profits and executives are making outlandish salaries and bonuses, and the union members want their fair share. I was surprised a google search claims the ave union salary is only $52K and hourly wage $25 per hr. The guys I know that work at STL plants make a lot more than $52K, but they've worked there a long time and work tons of overtime. A 40% pay increase sounds huge, plus a 32 hr work week. I worry about what effect it would have on the price of cars and eventually the economy.

Take my nephew for example who works at GM in Wentzville. He's worked there 25+ yrs, makes about $35/hr, and works 6-7 days a week/10-12 hrs per day for what seems like forever as he takes all the overtime he can get at about $50 per hr. For the sake of argument, if he averages 60 hrs per week he is making about $125K per year currently. A 40% increase would be $175K. Management if offering a 20% increase that would be $150K per year for him. His job - he drives cars from the end of assembly line to the parking lot and parks them!!!!!

What a crazy week! Perfect score was 30. Amazing how many close ones there were (only TWO bonus/deductions this week):

Cabool drives into Houston territory and turnover on downs just outside the red zone.

Webb by 14 is the call in the neighborhood

If someone makes a point to let you know that they are a new poster; good chance they are not a new poster. THAT IS ALL, Have a good Frday

Ill be in Platte County watching two of the best class 5 teams battle

Wow hard to believe it is week 4 already.

My picks
Hollister @ Reeds, I don't believe this one will be close at all, going with Reeds.
MV @ LogRog, might be close for a bit but in the end MV will pull away, have to go with MV
Catholic @ Aurora, The Dawgs big in this one.
Marshfield @ Monett, normally I say I am going with my heart, however I think Monett is better than Marshfield.
The Newt @ cAssville, I think the Newt is playing alot better, but in the end I don't believe they can stop cAssville enough to win in the end. This could be the game that trips some up.
Seneca @ Lamar, After getting to see Lamar up close this last week they are still really good just not as physical as they have been in years past. I think Seneca gets them again in a close battle.
Mac County @ Nevada, Hoover seems to have Nevada's number over the years, but I think this year Nevada will win in a close one, I still worry about Nevada's defense seems to be their weakness every year. Could be another game that trips a few up.

In the end I think Seneca and MV are probable the best followed very closely by Lamar and then Nevada. Seneca will get to prove if they are back on top this week.
