Aspen's POV

"Joining us today as our guest picker is two time Heisman winner and current Cowboys quarterback." Reece Davis says. "Please welcome Aspen Heath."

We have a bye week this week so I'm in LA to be the celebrity guess picker on college Gameday then Apollo, Jessie, and I are gonna watch the UCLA v Oregon game before Apollo and I go watch Jessie and Lone Star United play Angel City.

I think my sister and her family may be joining me in the visiting owners suite at Angel City Stadium.

Emma can't fly so she's at home with a sick Hazel and Kingsley along with her Mom, her mom's wife, and my parents.

I'm still shocked that Emma's Mom is alive.

"Hey Guys." I say then we talk about my time with the Cowboys before we begin the picks.

Once it's time to talk to start picking, Reece Davis introduces the first game we're picking which is San Diego State at Air Force.

"I'll go with San Diego State." I say then I sip on my coffee as Lee and Kirk pick.

The next game is Wake Forest at Army.

"I like what I see from Sam Hartman and Wake Forest and I think they'll go far this year so I'll say they win today." I say.

Lee and Kirk say their picks then we move on to Clemson at Pittsburgh.

"Clemson's been terrible all year and I don't see them getting any better so I'm going with Pittsburgh." I say.

The next four games we pick, which are Tennessee at Alabama, Ohio State at Indiana, BYU at Washington State, and LSU at Ole Miss, are all easy and I confidently go with the four teams who I know will win which are Bama, Ohio State, BYU, and Ole Miss.

"Next is Oklahoma State at Iowa State." Reece Davis says then Desmond Howard picks.

"Iowa State always seems to be a difficult place to play so I'll go with Iowa State." I say then I sip on my coffee as Lee and Kirk pick.

The next game we're picking is USC at Notre Dame

"Well USC is one of the softest teams in the nation." I say. "And I think Notre Dame will walk all over them so I'll pick the fighting Irish."

"You think they're soft?" Desmond asks.

"They're almost as soft as the Texas Longhorns are." I say then Kirk and Lee pick the teams.

Once we've picked the Shitty red team in LA's game, a video introducing the Oregon v UCLA game plays then Desmond picks Oregon to win.

"Aspen your pick." Reece says.

"Oregon hasn't beaten UCLA in four years and after this year it'll be five years for them without a win." I say. "UCLA will win 42-31."

I'm lying.

I know we're gonna lose.

Now that I've graduated and been drafted, the team has been very inconsistent.

After I make my pick, Lee makes his pick then the show ends.

Once the show ends, Lee leaves to have breakfast with his wife.

"Mama." I hear my son say then I feel a pull on my pants.

"Yes?" I say as I lift my son onto my lap.

"I hungry." Apollo says. "We go eat?"

"We are." I say.

"They go with?" Apollo asks as he points at Kirk, Desmond, and Reece.
