Front Porch Football2018 Porch Picks Week 11
Week 11 is full of trap games for several teams. After an exciting weekend full of close games last week, teams could easily come out sluggish and find themselves backed into a corner. November football is some of the best! This week’s guest pickers are Chief Etheridge and Scott Possehl.
Chief was raised in an ACC household. Although Duke basketball has always been his first love he has been a Duke football fan since before Saban came to Durham in 2010. Born in Atlanta and raised in Charlotte, was fortunate enough to share both his high school and college alma mater with the Paschal boys. Chief is currently living in Chicago, a city where the Big 10 reigns supreme, but you can find him on most Saturdays at Houndstooth Saloon where the 40s are as good as the SEC football being played on every single TV.
Scott was introduced to Front Porch Football via Chief Etheridge. He was born in the Chicagoland area and grew up in the DFW metroplex. Seeing that both his parents being from Iowa Scott grew up a Hawkey. However, after attending Texas Tech he became a full blown Red Raider. Scott is also currently living in Chicago. On Saturday’s you can find him at the Texas Tech bar or Iowa bar. When he wishes to enjoy quality football Scott joins Chief at Houndstooth saloon.
Good luck to you both!
