right on brother. great post. youre right, this is a challenging game and theres no freebies.
like you said, i had my reasons for backing bgsu. it just didnt work out.
its the retards on this site and elsewhere that say "he just typed out all that in support of bowing green and they lost by 23"
apparently, they dont take the time to realize that i spent damn near HALF of my write-up talking about how GOOD miami is.
you can train a monkey to point to a team in the newspaper, then you write a few words on the game and if it wins- does that make you a genius? no. conversely, if you write a few words on a game and it doesnt work out are you suddenly an idiot? nope. i just know im going into the battle each week amred with sound logic to win more than i lose. as long as i do that, im happy.
im not one of those guys who when i bet a game convinces himself that "the team i bet on is great. and my opponent sucks".
thats stupid and hazardous to a bankroll.
ive known the entire season how good miami is, i bet on em as a strong play earlier this season in northwestern.
just felt bgsu would be prepared yesterday and take it to the wire. a sloppy effort from bgsu combined with an aggressive miami team resulted in the 33-10 final.
appreciate your post. sometimes, it seems like the level-headed guys are more few and far between than they used to be, and thats a shame.
