I hear you IE, Things just are not quite what they used to be. It is interesting to me how this little spot on the web mirrors society in general. Don't you think?

You can preach all day, don't mean that others will listen.

Didnt see this til today, but I dropped it last night so no big deal.

Not trying to be counter productive, but as Spang said, if people wont listen than what can you do.

Im just so tired of people posting their selectinos and 50% of the time there is NO REASONING WHY.

Perhaps they will post a neat-O emoticon, smilie, or some other nonsense.

Swell.

Of the remaining 50%, probably half of them have no tangible comment about the game other than the "public side" and smart line movement. Again, nothing about the sporting event that is about to be played.


Seriously, if you are gonna go as far as to put hard coin down on the game, and you made it as far as here, pressed the new topic button and had the screen in front of you. Then tell me something.

Anything.


Tell me you expect Kansas to pass all over them. Tell me the opposing QB sucks and will throw 2 picks. Tell me your cousin is the biggest Kentucky homer and knows they are coming off thier best week of practice. Just tell me something.

Sports handicapping is a very tricky endeavor. Im not here to educate the masses on how to go about doing this the right way. Still, over the years Ive acquired much knowledge from posters here and wanted to recip. Should have known better than try it in a ALL CAPS STYLE POSTER thread. Thats on me, thats my bad. Wont happen again.

Stop trying to handicap Vegas, the touts, and the public, and do something novel. Start handicapping the game itself.

While I am positive this thread is not directed at me, it is a fact that I do not often provide much "analysis" unless someone asks my opinion. Most of us are working, raising toddlers, etc, and posting analysis is not near the top of the priority list.

Some guys, like Spang and AR ,are retired. Posting thoughts on all (or many) of their picks makes sense since they apparently have the time. I appreciate them both, as I appreciate Irish and all others who provide write-ups regularly.

Sure, I wish every poster actually had a clue, but it will not happen. I looked at using other sites, but you will find the same deal everywhere, 10 -12 (or less) quality contributors, and a bunch of other fluff. I read only a select number of threads on a weekly basis for this reason.

If I posted all the reasoing why I likea total hell I would never finish-but understadn what you are saying--GL

I understand where they are coming from as well, but where do you draw the line? You are the most consistent college football capper I have ever run across, so you are clearly not the target here, but you would not be here now if the analysis police would have run you off during your first season posting.

so you are clearly not the target here,

Nobody is a "target" as far as I'm concerned.

I could give a rats ass if people post reasoning or not. If they don't post reasons, they won't get respect for a long time until a proven winning record is recorded on the site.

I have no idea why this thread was started to begin with. :shrug:

It's not like it used to be? NOTHING is like it was 10 years ago. anywhere.

I still try to keep the bashing to a minimum and that's about all the rules we ever had. and no links, spamming, etc.

People move on for different reasons. Most found out they couldn't win and quit. Some got tired of posting and hang in general or got pissed off at someone (me?) and left.

the only real difference is we have more posts than we used to so there's more sifting for what you are looking for specifically. :shrug:

good luck. geeeez :rolleyes:

i like everybody's posts. i especially like to read reasons posted but i don't post reasons either. i could give a shit if someone plays my plays. i post for the fun of it.

I agree, I will read reasoning but not necessary for me either. Most of the time I just see who everyone is on and make MY OWN DECISIONS depending on who I liked to begin with...
