MLK Day games

[fletcher]

A great and courages man altough some still don't see that.

OK.ST- 1 or 1.Think the difference in this game is cowboys play maker John Lucas, they aslo have Graham and McFarln who can light it up .

Deff. will be or should be very strong in this game which does not favor the horns , who have had back to back dismal shooting preformances, and the game before those 2 poor shooting nights back to back was nothing to write home about. They got lot of points off to's and some easy pickings but the outside game was still off.

All this being said I think Lucas makes the difference.

Either way this will be a great game to watch if your a ncaa fan. Cowboys won all 3 games last year but like i say when doing work ups each game is a new game and that was last year, but just a useless fact for players who beliee in revenge and teams owning other teams, well they teams not these 2 might own someone straight but you might be shocked at spread rec.

Two biggest bs words in the industry is revenge and must win game. Those are called hook line and sinker words for books.

Next game going with n.texas over fiu, yes the mean green have been on a long road trip and could be a little short on legs but they are by far the better team. n tex+2.5

i think the problem with 'revenge' and 'must win' is that theyve gone from having definite capping relevance in certain spots to now just being flung around to apply to every game, every night which obviously is very unrealistic.

theres almost no use for that kind of stuff in baseball, as im sure youd agree. its far too loosie-goosie of a game and theres no way you can complete a 162-gm season getting your emotions up and down every night. youll burn yourself out. its just not in the makeup of baseball players to concern themselves with that kind of stuff, and the manager/coach takes a hands-off approach for most of the season.

i do, however, think youre making somewhat of a generality when you say that its useless as a whole. the problem, again, is that i think it gets overdone and too many end up making every loss a revenge game next year or every game a must-win game.

being around football and basketball, ive found that its probably most applicable in home basketball games (in the correct spot) and also football, regardless of venue (and again, in the correct spot). because coaches definitely do coach certain games different than others. and players respond to that. its almost apples and oranges when comparing baseball with football because it takes a different athlete to be successful, and the preparation is so much different. nothing physical about baseball preparation. conversely, baseball is a lot more mental. the emotion is far greater in football, especially since its expended once a week as opposed to every single night.

i think a lot of it can get thrown out the window if schools have excessive roster turnover, or are very young. its hard to convince freshman of the importance of a certain game. but assuming a team has stayed relatively intact, then i think you can apply these tools and they maintain their relevance.

good luck tonight.

Might have a halftime on this.

GM2 your worded it better overused should of been the word, it is thrown out all the time, and baseball you have a 33% rule in college and pro most 80% + of the time . A team will win 33% of their games lose 33% of their games and the other 33% will either put them in playoffs or on golf course.

Nice hit on the mean green Fletch!

 

[fletcher]

yeah but 19-3 run by tex is going to make it hard to play the half might figure a way out had a very good day but want to do at least 2-1 here but might not be able to due to that run.

 

[fletcher]

hate to do this won't hurt me but won't help with a l ok.st-3.5 5 units

ugly game wyoming-4 2 units

might have halftime on it if anyone is up.
