| Time out from Vol bashing. Does anybody out there remember a radio show called "Leonard's Losers"? It usually came on on Saturday mornings and it featured a guy named Leaonard who picked the losers of the all the day's major football games. He sounded a lot like Jerry Clower and although his show was hilarious, he was pretty accurate in his picks. It's been a few years since I've heard it and I just wonder if it's still around. Sure would like to know because it was a highlight of my Saturday mornings.
Maybe I can refresh a few memories. The show always began with the Flatt and Scruggs recording of Foggy Mountain Breakdown and he had a sidekick named Percy. Here's an example of a game he might have picked:
"Georgia versus Florida. Georgia coach Vince Dooley leads a pack of hungry junkyard dawgs into Jacksonville to feast on some fresh king size lizard meat. But as any Florida swamper will tell you, a Gainesville Gator has a tough old hide and can bite just as hard as any Bulldog." (And so on and so on). And he would end the segment with his prediction. "Leonard's Loser, in a close one, Florida."
Man I got a kick out of that show and won a few bucks betting on his picks, too. Like to share a few memories if anybody's interested. |
