14-0 eastern michigan at halftime. already have a very large chunk on the eagles. not in a hurry to add anything at halftime but would strongly suggest emich (+3) in the 2nd half. kent really in disarray right now. emich gets the ball 1st in the 2nd half. asking kent to win the 2nd half with a true freshman quarterback playing from 14 points behind is asking for a lot of trouble. if emich scores on their 1st possession of the 2h, kent will be in a world of trouble. definitel;y think emich (+3) in the 2nd half is the way to go.

youre right, all the time and all the typing that i put in trying to post injury updates and info for free here is all a promo.
been posting a mac play every week of the season. been posting mac notes every week of the season. been busting ass to try and help out.. yet some guys are still never satisfied.
unbelievable.
just posted eastern michigan at kickoff. posted akron for later. and posted a strong recommendation on emich in the 2nd half. you cant be serious. when anyone has ever asked about an opinion on a game, ive gone the extra mile to not only help, but offer some reason as to why i like that side. yet apparently, thats not good enough for some.
oh well. 21-0 emich a minute into the 2nd half

whats amazing is that im posting info on games that im not even PLAYING. im not trying to come across as altruistic, but for christ sake, im posting stuff on sunday night, the second the lines comes out, telling guys to be careful of hammering an early line on toledo (or any side for that matter)because gradkowski was a big question mark. i know a lot of guys like to bet on toledo, and i didnt want them to see the line and bet into it under the assumption that gradkowski was 100%. .... and you know what? i didnt even have a play on that game. im posting 2nd half opinions on games like emu/kent that im not even PLAYING because i want to see guys find some value, even if its only for the 2nd half. you know how many posts ive read here and elsewhere about guys betting on kent with the assumption that theyre at full strength? machen isnt even playing, and theyre starting a true freshman at quarterback. so if that info can help people find some value in a 2nd half line, im going to post it. and youve got the nads to act like im making up plays? i said flat out -- im already on emu for the game, but thought guys here should know that kent is trying to come back from a 14-0 hole with a true freshman on the road.
this is by far the best forum on the net. always has been, always will be. but there are still some very ignorant people here. ive never known you to be one of those guys richnjax, so im not going to carry it on any further. but its amazing that even at the best forum out there, someone would still have the nads to take a shot at someone who does every writeup by hand and busts ass to do research to find some value on games that some might overlook. this is the first time ive been genuinely pissed. i can let it slide when an idiot posts a stupid comment. idiots are everywhere. but when someone who has been around the forum, and who KNOWS all the work ive put in over the years, is acting like im making up plays, that really pisses me off and makes me wondering about some people.
jesus christ, gman, you have to relax!
all he asked was where are the mac plays that you said you are expecting. why even mention them if you're not going to post them?
WTF?

He's exactly right. I'm assuming the "strong" MAC plays are posted after the kickoff these days.

as you know, certainly have respect for you and your forum. but that was a cheap shot by richnjax, plain and simple. look at how much information there is in this thread. i anticipated central michigan as one of the strong plays, but theyre a little banged up, therefore i waited it out to see what happened in practice this week. so i made it just a regular play. didnt want anyone to get crazy with central michigan. its just a normal play. in various other threads, i repeatedly told those who asked that bowling green would be looking to blow out temple.
the fact that im trying to defend the info that i post is really preposterous.
you see it as overreacting. i see it as spending a good number of hours putting together writeups. and then being taken aback and offended when someone essentially sits back and says "we want more".

just like the strong play on miami over kent state was two weeks ago. you have got to be shitting me. this is disgusting to bust ass to put together writeups and injury info, post it here, post some plays, post halftime plays, post and answer questions in other threads whenever someone wants an opinion... and to have to deal with this is just stupid.
Gman, you're not going to convince guys who want your plays but are unwilling to pony up for a package that you are trying to help them. Personally, I never thought I would have ever purchased a season package of picks from any handicapper but I immediately got your's when I saw you had a site. I've been very happy with the results. With all due respect to Jack, your loyalty should be to your paying customers and not some a-hole asking "what else?" I get a little pissed when I see picks that I paid for being posted here for free but is entirely your choice. You have a business and are a very good handicapper. Focus on those things instead of trying to please the masses.
LOL Jack.......i think this is my first post ANYWHERE in about a year.....but been doing alot of lurking. Perhaps I'll chime in here and there more often. Seems like Matt takes the words right out of my mouth most of the times though.
Hope all is well with you and yours.

again, too much respect for you to let this thread go in the direction its going.
and certainly not going to debate semantics. do i have a problem with richnax asking a question? of course not. but i do have a problem with him talking nonsense about promotion. like i said, there is a whole thread of info along with plays and opinions.
junior:
ive got not problem with ya. have talked with you in the past. youre a good guy. but would rather you not make this thread bigger than it is. thanks.
lets turn our attention back to where it belongs.

What do you expect from some? Tons of guys giving you praise, and I would say they outnumber the guys busting your balls (but you did say whatever it was that Jack quoted). GL on your plays and post them and the injury/player info when you can. Thanks. At least there aren't threads like this every 30 minutes, lmao!!

Today's free play is on Utah State -2 on the road versus Idaho. Idaho has only scored a total of 6 points in their last two games and do not look for much more today. Utah State is coming off of a very impressive win against UNLV and look for them to take that momentum into this game versus a very weak Idaho team. Play on Utah State!
Good luck

I'm seeing 20-27 with 2:34 to go :scared
Tell me EMU has the ball and is putting this thing away :spotting:

youre right. and like i said, there good FAR FAR outweighs the bad here. and richnjax, from what ive seen around here, is a nice guy. i just dont like people taking my words and twisting them.
i expected a lot of strong plays in the conference. but there were a ton of injuries on various teams, and i kinda backed off some games, bowling green included. that was going to be one of the bigger ones but their backfield was dinged up, so i decided to pass that one, although i certainly suggested in other threads that they should be worth a look today
i 'expected' a lot of plays in the mac this week
but things ended up taking an 'unexpected' turn with injuries and i just laid off.
would like to think i could have gotten the benefit of the doubt, given the work i put it. thats all.
water under the bridge now.
take care six five
