God help us! :prayer That said, the bowl season must go on. :tiphat:
So how ya boys doing? Been awhile. Missed my first college football season here (over the last 10 years), but still had to check in for the bowls. As they say, or as Will Ferrell once sang while spinning around, it's the most wonderful time of the year. Anyhow, like I do every year, will be playing each bowl game in one way or another...so lots of small plays. Hope to catch up with some old friends over the next few weeks, and of course to enjoy the bowl season together. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Hope everything is well, boys. As for me, getting older...lots of changes, keeping me busy (&/or adapting)...much of it somehow keeps me away from here most of the year...but still living life, and enjoying the kids, thankfully. Anyhow, maybe if we're lucky we can end the year...and start the new year...on a very good note.

:cheers3: & :shake:

Not a good start to the bowl season. Favs winning SU, but not covering...bucking the annual trend. :(

we had a mediocre President, and will be getting a joke of a President shortly...but who knows about 4 years from now. God help us in the meantime.

Great to see you around, Sir. BOL on the Bowl action :shake:

Well lookie-lookie here...

:tiphat:
 
still a bit below even, but 10-8 after a horrible opening day. not good, but better than it was on 12/17. anyhow, just talkin' to myself, so on to the next 8 bowls...

Texas Bowl 12/28
Kansas St ML (+125) over A&M for 1/2


Taking the revenge angle with Army. Earlier game was an aberration with all those turnovers.
Would be on Temple, but line is too high. Besides, for whatever reason, the favs aren't covering the games they win this year.
Similar story, in that the Wazzou line got too big. Add in hopefully a motivated running dog, as well as some bowl history here.
For some reason, think Baylor shows up. If they don't, it'll be over quick.
See these two trading scores in Yankee Stadium, simple as that.
Had to fade Miami. If it bites me, so be it.
Utah's self-explanatory. Might add to it.
Do not think A&M shows up at all, so willing to buck KSt's bowl history here. If I'm wrong, it'll also be obvious/over quickly.

:popcorn:
 
finally recovered from a shitty 12/17, and over the mendoza line (hopefully to stay). here are the next 8, covering the 29th and 30th...


Birmingham Bowl 12/29

Arizona Bowl 12/30
S Alabama (+14) over Air Force (-110) for .6

Orange Bowl 12/30
FSU (+7) over Michigan (-115) for 1


Should take care of the first 32 bowls. Two sets of 4 games (12/31 and 1/2), plus the championship left to go.

Simply too many points to lay with USF, imo.
Think Arkansas probably wins outright, but I'll take the TD just in case. Over purely on gut.
Like a shootout in the Alamo. Okie Lite might be the better team, but SOS and motivation have me on Colorado.
UGA/TCU is a coin flip, tbh.
Will be a tight game, but Stanford will prevail running the ball. Sun's not the dog bowl it used to be.
Injuries kept me off the Cornhuskers. Just hope Tenny shows up in their hm state.
Too many points to lay with AF.
Orange should come down to the wire, decided by a FG. Great match up!

John, I totally missed this thread. Good to see you around. Happy new year brother.
 
January 2nd additions...


Outback Bowl 1/2
Iowa (+3) over Florida (-105) for 1

Just the national championship left.

:popcorn:
 
Think I'll have another play (or two) in this final game of the bowl season, but...


National Championship Game 1/9
Clemson (+7) over Alabama (-120) for 1


Hope this rematch lives up to last year's game. Nevertheless, think they get it done this time. (ML play forthcoming when we get closer to the game.)

:tiphat:
 
Iowa/Fla line has no business being where it is. Should be pk, at which I'd still be on Iowa, thus my ML wager. We're getting to that point that wagers are falsely made on conference performance and time to take advantage. Seriously almost every advantage is to Iowa and under, don't see where UF has an advantage to score. Obviously I'm wrong a lot, but +3 with the better offense and just as capable defense...yes please. GL to us yanks.
 
Big 10 sucking at this point only helps. Will likely add tomorrow, trying to figure out how I want to play it

The rest of my plays for tomorrow...


Clemson TT over 21.5 (-120) for 1
Clemson 1H (+3.5) @ -105 for 1/2
Clemson ML (+215) for 1/2



Hopefully I'll read tomorrow that Lang is on the Crimson Tide. ;) Seriously though, until late August...

:cheers3:
 
Good to see you on Clemson. I originally said in an in-game that I would pound Clemson if the line was over 7. It came out at 6.5 and I took Bama. Yesterday I bought out of Bama and took Clemson -6.5. The more I thought about it the more sense it made that Clemson should win this one straight up. I'm not even going to worry about the hook. GL Yanks and good to see you around !

Treason. He's accomplished more before being sworn in than the 44 before him did over the last 200 plus years!
