    never mind. clearly ohio state is the greatest football team ever assembled.

    perfect drive lol

    if that was me, the ball would still be in the puddle. probably even deeper than before i swung.

    Bowl Committee ...

    for once, i'm not gonna hate on the committee. the way the system is structured sucks. the ACC was garbage this year, but clemson got the auto-bid. and it would have been really shitty to leave out SMU, penalizing them for playing in their conference championship game while others were...

    12/21 Playoff Games

    a win is a win, but i'm still pissed off that i even had to sweat the smu/psu total. ok, last game of the evening. another one i don't really love. ohio st ain't all that great this year. i really want to take tennessee. BUUUUUTTTTTT.... tennessee starts a true freshman qb. no fucking way...

    James Franklin?????

    as if that wasn't dumb enough... late in the game, up 38-3, franklin accepted that holding call on SMU. SMU would have had 4th and 11 at the PSU 43 if he declined it. but, nope, not ol' james franklin. next play, PSU personal foul extends the drive and a few plays later, SMU scores a TD. WTF...

    12/21 Playoff Games

    if texas didn't have to play georgia, they'd be a lot happier. they were 11-0 against everybody else. their best win was an ugly 17-7 win over texas a&m. clemson's best win was over SMU. another game where it doesn't look like either team will have a lot of success on the ground. texas was...

    12/21 Playoff Games

    if this game goes over because this idiot keeps throwing TDs to psu... yeah, that'll fit right in with the horrible beats i'm taking. this keeps up much longer, and the smu defense is gonna quit.

    12/21 Playoff Games

    thank you, sir. so far, i've only had BL. :) i'm betting a bunch of parlays that start with this game under some adjusted #s (mostly 54.5), so it will probably be 31-28 at halftime.

    12/20 Bowl Games

    atta boy. brace yourself though... i've already taken a couple shitty beats today. can't wait to see what happens in this game. oh, one point i forgot to include... there will be some wind tonight. gusts in the mid-teens. may or may not be enough to make a difference.

    12/20 Bowl Games

    ok, pretty much the only question that matters... is indiana for real? i may be in the minority, but i think they are. hey, they beat both teams that played in the NC last year! ok, ok, maybe michigan and UW have dropped off a bit. but the real test was the game at ohio st. late in the 1st...

    and, thanks to florida scoring on a 4th down play that they fumbled... they are over their TT. small bet, but just another fucking. alright, time to get to work on the late game.

    and...just watched the 2nd half. ya know, just once it'd be nice not to get anally raped on this shit. a fucking missed extra point? and a team that scored 4 TDs in the first half can only score 3 points the 2nd half? you can't make this shit up, because nobody would believe it. i'm going...

    12/20 Bowl Games

    ok, just watched the first half. pretty good start for ohio. last night i ended up putting these in: tulane (+10.5) 2X tulane ML 1 to win 3.4 UF TT under (30.5) 1X almost definitely going to be on indiana tonight. hope to get a chance to dig in a little, but not sure.

    just once it'd be nice not to get backdoored like that. as soon as SHU picked up the unsportsmanlike on the kickoff, i knew GASO was gonna score. every. fucking. time.

    it's pathetic that so many of these kids don't give a fuck about A) their teammates and B) the bowl games. i get not being excited for a trip to frisco, texas, but it's one more chance to play with your teammates. and a lot of the games are in warm locations and these kids are getting an...

    i just kinda FF'd through the 1st half. not sure why they didn't give him the td. i guess i still don't fully understand when you get the "goal line extended" and when you don't. i am pretty sure i know the answer to #2... the pass was completed behind the line of scrimmage, so linemen can be...

    sorry, guys, i don't have time to do my normal work on the LA bowl. played pickleball earlier, then we had lunch and a beer. and i'm heading out in a little while to play trivia. at a brewery. retirement is good. just a few quick thoughts.... i know mendoza is out. i read somewhere that...

    12/18 Bowls

    that info is all cut-and-paste. and the conflicting info is annoying. reminds me of the saying... a man with two clocks never knows the correct time. from what i could find, veltkamp is playing.
  32. Smitty

    12/18 Bowls

    primarily because they should be able to run the ball and get stops on defense. and, really, they should have a huge motivational edge. but, hey, i've been wrong plenty of times.

    Boca Raton Bowl hey, if nothing else, gotta give them respect for not adding a sponsor to the bowl title. i keep expecting to see the Bob's Snake Emporium Boca Raton Bowl. stay pure, Boca! so damn much to unpack in this game. as usual, most of it revolves around WHO THE FUCK IS PLAYING...

    Frisco Bowl

    thanks, rob, GL to you as well. looks like the side and total have been bet down to 5 & 59.5. so, if nothing else, this is one of the rare times i got good lines. which makes sense, because i kept my bets small.

    yup, he's going back to WVU. apparently it was announced the same day as belichick to UNC, so it got lost in the noise. they think bringing him back will restore their lost glory.

    no, you're missing the point. the point is, why take shots at him when he loses? he actually keeps his record, and it's very, very solid. so why take pot shots when he loses? if he was lying about his record, then feel free to call him out.

    a bit of good news for broncos' backers... i finally found an article from a few days ago that indicates Gideon will play.

    thank you. i also use the info from the action network. but i find all this info unreliable. i try to verify as much as i can. lots of guys in the portal will still end up playing. also not on the list, but in the portal, is USA kicker Laith Marjan. ok, i'm going with the assumption that...

    Texas-Georgia rematch

    we had very little in terms of scouting (the head coach was literally the only full-time coach on staff. the DC was a local cop.). some game film and the opponent's roster was about it. i remember every week looking at the D tackles on the roster and thinking to myself maybe it was better...

    Texas-Georgia rematch

    oh, and that was when i gained tremendous respect for the TE position. not only do you need to know the passing tree, you also have to know all the blocking schemes. so part of practice was with the WRs and part was with the o-line. very unique position in that regard.
  53. Smitty

    Texas-Georgia rematch

    oh, that was the dumbest thing. i only played one year in HS, and i was a WR (and part-time CB when we were DESPERATE). then i get to college and they told me i was a TE. i literally laughed. thought for sure they were kidding. i was about 180 lbs. now, with the offenses these days, with...

    same here. at the ER, the PA told me they usually do an x-ray to confirm the achilles is ruptured. but she told me, while running her hand down the back of my ankle, "yeah, your achilles just isn't there." in case anyone squeamish is still reading, you may want to stop. on the bright side...
  57. Smitty

    Call his ass Out….

    i can't believe a 40-year old qb coming off a ruptured achilles didn't take them to the super bowl. i ruptured mine at 46, and my athletic career was over until i discovered pickleball. so aaron rodgers and i are likely to finish with the same number of super bowl wins after our injuries.

    i'll go out on a limb and say they're written by people who've never placed a bet. i don't even completely understand the "logic" behind them. i always assumed it's because, being in NY, they think i'm more likely to be involved with fixing games in NY. But i'm closer to Boston and Storrs...

    are the Kennedys gun-shy? plus what yyz said. :) although i can't bet the games involving NY teams (stupid, stupid law), so i won't bother with those. shit, all 3 are in bowl games this year. army, syracuse, and UB.

    Conference Championships

    yeah, while digging into this game, i noticed iowa st gives up just over 5 yards/carry (111th in the country). not good. that said, this game is at 9AM, arizona time. i'm hoping for a slow start from the sun devils.
  71. Smitty

    This has me kinda stumped

    it would be really fucked up for a team to lose in the conference championship game and get bounced out of the playoffs in favor of a team that was watching from home. doesn't mean it won't happen, but it would be pretty fucked up. to expand on what bombs said... that could easily lead to...
