Peter’s Pack of Pickled Pigskin Picks 2018 Week 12

It’s Week 12. And since AJ picked a small college rivalry game, I have decided that this is Small College Week. Two reason: Why not? And we need a break from the usual, don’t we? Well, there are a few “big” schools in the list for those who need that fix.

Next week has a lot of rivalries for the big schools, so we’ll do those then. But this week, enjoy the challenge, even though I did a little research to see which teams have the better records.

Get the guesses in by NOON EST Saturday. (This time I double checked to make sure no games are on Friday.)

 1. Colgate (9-0) @ Army (8-1)

 2. Ivy League: Yale @ Harvard (Both 5-4, 3-3 conf)

 3. Pioneer League: San Diego (8-2, 7-0 conf) @ Marist (5-5, 5-2 conf) [My oldest brother attended USD for two years.]

 4. Southwestern Athletic: Alabama State  @ Prairie View (Both 3-6, 2-3 conf)

 5. Big Sky: Weber State (8-2, 6-1 conf) @ Idaho State (6-4, 5-2 conf)

 6. Missouri Valley: Indiana State (6-4, 4-3 conf) @ Western Illinois (5-5, 4-3 conf) [I live 90 miles from WIU.]

 7. Missouri Valley: Missouri State (4-6, 2-5 conf) @ Northern Iowa (5-5, 4-3 conf) [I got my MA at UNI.]

 8. North Dakota (6-4) @ Northern Arizona (3-6) [I almost went to NAU for grad school.]

 9. Pillow Fight: Conference USA: UTEP (1-9, 1-5 conf) @ Western Kentucky (1-9, 0-6 conf)

10. Tie Breaker: Pick winner and final score:  Patriot League: Lehigh (2-8, 1-4 conf) @ Lafayette (3-7, 2-3 conf)

Note – This is called “The Rivalry”.

It’s Thursday, so don’t forget to pray for Jo, her students, and the people of PNG.

Anyone else?

Psalm 99

1 The Lord reigns,
    let the nations tremble;
   he sits enthroned between the cherubim,
    let the earth shake.
2 Great is the Lord in Zion;
    he is exalted over all the nations.
3 Let them praise your great and awesome name—
    he is holy.

4 The King is mighty, he loves justice—
    you have established equity;
   in Jacob you have done
    what is just and right.
5 Exalt the Lord our God
    and worship at his footstool;
    he is holy.

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
    Samuel was among those who called on his name;
   they called on the Lord
    and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;
    they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.

8 Lord our God,
    you answered them;
   you were to Israel a forgiving God,
    though you punished their misdeeds.
9 Exalt the Lord our God
    and worship at his holy mountain,
    for the Lord our God is holy.

It’s Wednesday, so don’t forget Ajisuun and The Gambia.

Anyone else?

Psalm 98

1 Sing to the Lord a new song,
    for he has done marvelous things;
   his right hand and his holy arm
    have worked salvation for him.
2 The Lord has made his salvation known
    and revealed his righteousness to the nations.
3 He has remembered his love
    and his faithfulness to Israel;
   all the ends of the earth have seen
    the salvation of our God.

4 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth,
    burst into jubilant song with music;
5 make music to the Lord with the harp,
    with the harp and the sound of singing,
6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—
    shout for joy before the Lord, the King.

7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it,
    the world, and all who live in it.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands,
    let the mountains sing together for joy;
9 let them sing before the Lord,
    for he comes to judge the earth.
   He will judge the world in righteousness
    and the peoples with equity.

Anyone have something to share?

Psalm 97

1 The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;
    let the distant shores rejoice.
2 Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
    righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him
    and consumes his foes on every side.
4 His lightning lights up the world;
    the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
    before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
    and all peoples see his glory.

7 All who worship images are put to shame,
    those who boast in idols—
    worship him, all you gods!

8 Zion hears and rejoices
    and the villages of Judah are glad
    because of your judgments, Lord.
9 For you, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth;
    you are exalted far above all gods.
10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
    for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
    and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light shines on the righteous
    and joy on the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous,
    and praise his holy name.
