Week One: Gorman edges Maryland powerhouse 27-22 in season opener

My Uncle Lefty eagerly is awaiting a real-life betting line on tonight's game from www.5dimes.eu, which last year took action on Gorman as a 7½-point favorite over Armwood (Fla.).

Armwood won 20-17, but Gorman later won by forfeit when the Hawks had two seasons worth of victories erased for using ineligible players.

This raises two questions. First, did the guys who bet and lost on Gorman get a refund? Second, can someone parlay tonight's Gorman game with the Findlay Prep basketball season opener?

As for tonight, rumor has it the ladies' men have 14 players with major college scholarship offers. Cornerback Kendall Fuller is being compared to NFL star Charles Woodson.

But it might be Gorman running back Nathan Starks who strikes a Heisman pose in the end zone. The junior is set to emerge as one of the nation's top prospects.

I've been accused of being a Gorman homer, but I'm about to prove my haters wrong by picking the Falcons. If the game later is ruled a forfeit, don't come crying to me about your ripped-up ticket. ... Good Counsel by 3.
