    ISIS Salute to Veterans Bowl

    my record on cash-out decisions is 0-for-216. if i cash out, the bet ends up winning. if i don't, it loses. the jacksonville st coaching staff seems determined to lose this game. i wouldn't be surprised if they put wimsatt in at qb and let him throw every down. that said, we've all seen...

    This game.......

    well, when you have 45 (or is it 46?) bowl games... and a handful of teams decline invitations... this is what we're stuck with. the other factor... up until fairly recently, a lot of bowl games featured a team from the "group of 5" versus a team from the top conferences. sure, only one of the...

    ISIS Salute to Veterans Bowl

    seriously. it's that bad. it's so incompetent that it looks like they're trying to lose. on the season, they ran the ball almost twice as often as they passed. 607 rushes, 306 passes. in this first half? 15 passes and 12 runs. i don't care that cook is out. 90% of RB production is really...

    ISIS Salute to Veterans Bowl

    it's so ridiculous. an entire block. i think we only made it to that one once. maybe twice. we were usually near sarasota. but i would not be surprised if some day we literally fly down there just to eat at columbia.

    ISIS Salute to Veterans Bowl

    i've said it before, and i'll say it again... nobody knows less about football than fucking football coaches. you can probably count on one hand the number of competent coaches. jacksonville state... up 7-0 and already in control of the game. troy has done absolutely nothing their first 3...

    ISIS Salute to Veterans Bowl

    have you been to Columbia restaurant in St. Armands Circle? we absolutely love it. we used to head down there every year. and now we've semi-seriously talked about going down specifically to eat there. well, probably the flagship location in ybor city. but that's how much we love it. the...

    Tuesday

    i haven't done a deep dive on anything beyond tonight. but i do love Miami on Saturday. or, to be more exact, i think A&M is a fraud.
  10. Smitty

    Tuesday

    yeah, i didn't even touch upon motivation in my write-up, but i agree. i gotta think the gamecocks, as a new D1 program, are still fired up for bowl games. this is their 3rd. meanwhile, troy had an unexpected run to the sun belt championship and they were only down 3 (as a big dog) with 4...

    ISIS Salute to Veterans Bowl

    :smilies8 with all the opt-outs, it takes forever. this one was over 90 minutes. i'm gonna have to start earlier tomorrow, when there's 2 games! hopefully it pays off. i really hate betting on a head coach in his first year at that school. i have no idea what drives it, but it's such a...

    while i'm thinking about it... just saw they finally posted FCS lines for saturday. i'm going to keep riding the redbirds on the road. the ML is currently +105.

    ISIS Salute to Veterans Bowl

    hmmmm... that's odd. lemme check... ok, sorry. it's the IS4S Salute to Veterans Bowl. as usual, let's start with who's NOT playing. troy - CB kaleno levine has declared for the draft and won't play. starting RB tae meadows is out. he averaged 4.4 yards/carry for a team that doesn't run...

    yeah, but you're canadian. i'm surprised cars in canada even come with a horn. does it quietly say "excuse me?"

    Kneel down last play of Dallas game…

    Super Bowl weekend in Vegas

    karma, no doubt about it. only positive... i parlayed mccarthy to have 10+ rushing yards with minnesota. so at least i hit that.
  23. Smitty

    Super Bowl weekend in Vegas

    yup, never fucking fails... i had mccarthy over 15.5 tonight. he had 16 before taking a knee on the last play. i knew i was fucked when dallas actually did the smart thing and kicked the fg on 2nd down. the ONE time a head coach makes the intelligent decision, and it costs me money.
  24. Smitty

    HA ! I love it

    in all fairness, that was around 10:30 AM, when there was the celebration bowl, an FCS game, and some mid college hoops games.

    LA Bowl

    in hindsight, it sure the hell was. i realized far too late that that game was even more predictable than most bowl games, because there really was no layoff. so one less variable to deal with. oh well.

    LA Bowl

    i used to DVR the late games and watch them in the morning. now that i'm retired, i tell myself i'm going to do that. then i just stay up way too late. pretty much every night... "ok, tonight i'm REALLY going to get to bed by 11." then i end up watching more sports ball and getting to bed...

    quick note for bowl season... obviously who is playing and who isn't tends to be a fluid situation. i try to use at least 2 sources to verify when someone is opting out. that said, i'm sure i'll still get some wrong. if anyone thinks i'm posting bad info, please let me know. maybe, just...

    LA Bowl

    bowl season? seriously? ok, gonna start with an FCS selection. no extra charge to you! i like illinois st on the ML (+125). maybe this one is too easy, even with all the travel for the redbirds. the box score for their win last week at the fargodome (as 25-point dogs) is ridiculous. the...

    i'm always down for a good debate. :) obviously i respect the hell out of jord, but i find it hard to believe he honestly thinks alabama doesn't belong in the playoff. maybe he's a ND fan? or there's some inherent bias? i understand why people are sick of alabama. and the SEC in general...

    Broncos dawgs on Sunday?

    now, i would assume the linesmakers have better programming than espn, but i don't have access to them. but a 52% chance to win is in line with the 2.5 point spread. that said, this is a sandwich game for GB. they play chicago again next week. so tough spot for them, travelling to denver...

    Conference final games

    that's hilarious. only problem... if they're now guaranteed a playoff berth if they're in the top 12... then not facing any real competition will guarantee they are in the top 12. how the fuck does ND get THAT deal? all the people whining about alabama getting preferential treatment... why...

    c'mon, jord, you gotta be kidding. sure, alabama ain't what they were a few years ago, but to say they don't belong in the playoff this year is foolish. they went 7-1 in the best conference in the country (you're not going to argue THAT, are you?) yup, they lost to what turned out to be a...

    The INT that led to Ohio State's only TD... should have been a penalty on Ohio St. Sure, the announcers were correct... you can't have DPI behind the line of scrimmage. But you can have defensive holding. And... yeah. The officials FUCKED Indiana.

    both of my books have odds for 18 teams to win the NC. neither lists Texas as one of the teams. the more i look at texas' schedule, the more convinced i am that they should not make the playoff. they only won 2 road games this year. at kentucky at mississippi state. and they needed OT in...

    Does Texas find a way to get in?

    devil's advocate... oklahoma's win over alabama was AT alabama, so i would think that carries extra weight unless alabama is COMPLETELY blown out. and their loss to texas was in the state of texas. and mateer was clearly hampered by his injury, throwing 3 INTs in his first game back. texas...
