Army vs Navy.

Been looking forward to this game all year as I thought it might be a toss up. Most know I was very bullish on Army pre season with all the returning starters. Hit big TU play on them early and I really like this spot but didn't expect to get the extra advantages. Obviously the injuries for Navy go into this play but more important is the extra rest and prep time for Army.. Love me some Army linebackers and give a big edge to Army defense vs rookie QB who looked OK last week esp running ball but that experience, tho important, will not prepare him for this moment.. I like the Army ML a bit and will likely play a little there as well.. I have various numbers on the ATS but posted whats is widely available now and is just fine, 4.5
 
GL today tee, concur. Figure waiting on ML til closer to kickoff shouldn't hurt much at this point.
 
I rarely share personal sentiments on these boards but I enjoy reading others regarding this game so will briefly share mine.

Grandfather was in the Army and served in WWII. He fought in the battle of the Bulge and received a purple heart. He lived a wonderful life and died a few years ago at 92. He was haunted by the war experience and would never talk about it, until the last few years. He had many stories-- I think some of them were true. lol

The one story he told me I'll never forget-- the one of how he got the purple heart. The battle of the bulge was a lot of walking and walking and walking which was the case in most battles of the war. Europe is a big place he used to say. "The day I was injured was the day most of my squadron was killed by a bomb. I was tired that day so was near the end of the formation dragging behind. Everyone in the front was killed, my friends. I lived because I was tired." I think that haunted him.. He used to stop short on a lot of his stories and would say "people do horrible things in wars" He hated Hitler but he always used to say that Joseph Stalin was by far the most unhuman creature on the planet. "The atrocities committed by the Russians were unthinkable" he was really haunted by that and would never go there but in my readings of Stalin and his M.O. I think I know what gramps was talking about.. He is my personal hero. I told him, Gramps , if we don't win that war, the world would have been a horrible place for a very long time and maybe never recover. Our freedom would not exist..

He had some great Patton stories. He adored the man despite his flaws
 
add:

Florida st +7, 4 units

favorite play of bowl season so far.. locking in the +7 at 4 units now.. waiting on the rest.. will likely be top unit play... about a thousand reasons
 
Sure most know this but one of my favorite side stories to this game--- As Army players enter the field they touch the officers placque which reads-- "I want an officer for a secret and dangerous mission, I want a West Point football player"

gl bro and rip to Gramps, a true hero
 
agree, thanks for the rest of the story too ... all heroes that saved the world and the US for sure
 
Locked in a little +175 army ML that just popped at my main place. Small play but just FYI. Think it has good value- tho much better earlier

Thanks for sharing, tee.....good stuff

Good luck today and throughout the postseason
 
Thanks for sharing Tee. I grandfather fought in WWII also. He used your say, "Nobody in our family should ever have to fight in a war. I did enough for all of us."
It's such a special day that I've always embraced. Probably the most difficult thing for me today is the unknown sacrifices and stories. A price is paid for us.

thx for sharing wise.. I am so proud of our WWII veterans.. sadly, aren't many around and they will all be gone in next few years.. if anyone gets a chance to meet one, just shake their hand, look them in the eye and say thanks. nothing more is needed. you will remember the experience the rest of your life.
 
No doubt tee. My grandpa passed the day before his 97th bday 2.5 years ago. The city of Stamford Connecticut honored him by doing a police escort through town for us. Thank God I was able to fly there to experience that. So deserving of him. The other thing I'm grateful for is everyone says I'm a splitting image of him. The guy was a stud until the day he passed. Lol. He always kept his military cut and walked like soldier

RIP to your grandfather.

I got similar pride in the Army too. My dad did 22 years and retired from the Army. He also saw a lot of combat in Vietnam too, which he'll never admit screwed him up a little with PTSD. He's 75 right now and is slowing down, but still chugging.

Good job with Army today. :shake2:
 
Had to wait for this to come back my way a bit.

Houston -4, -115, 4 units

Several things but mostly like that Houston run defense taking away SDST strength. I know a third grader could cap that but I think it is solid.

May have another play later.. got to look more
 
Add

ark st +3.5, 4 units

will definately be involved in late game. If I get number I desire--TU
 
Memphis +7, 4 units..

will get involved with ML also but ATS is very solid IMO. I got a few scenarios in which Memphis wins by DD+. Turnovers obviously need to be neutral at worse or in my favor for that to play out. Gonna be tons of possessions and hard to cap those but getting a td is very good value IMO.
 
Thank you for posting TeeDub

Read your story...well your grandfather was in Battle of Bulge with 2 of my great-uncles, one on Mom's side & one on Dad's.

Corporal White (Mom's side) was 20 years old and during the battle outside Bastogne he stepped on a landmine and lost one of his legs. Long-short he lived, came back to states and after extended care he went on to medical school and became a Family Practice doctor in Midland Texas for 50 years. He had three daughters and since he had no sons the family name on my Mom's side died with him about 12 years ago when he was 80. I'll never forget when he first took his wood leg off in front of me when I was around 8. He jumped in pool and started swimming, he also played golf. Graduate of Texas A&M and loved the Aggie Band. He was his Company's bugler.

Lt. Hoffman on my Dad's side, I never got to meet. He was killed right there in Belgium in December 1944 (72 years ago this week, I think he was around 26 yrs old). On the day he died my Dad, then age 10, received a letter from his uncle, Lt Hoffman, wishing him Merry Christmas and asking how Dad was etc. My Dad was his only nephew/niece and he told Dad that he had sent my Aunt instructions concerning a special Christmas present - a red wagon. We still have the letter. His wife, my Dad's aunt, had been married to Lt Hoffman for 2 years - she never remarried and always said he was the love of her life and she would see him again in heaven. She lived until about 1990 and I think of her and the uncle I never met, but who's letter I've read many times, about this time every year. They are together again and I hope I get to meet him someday.

Great story about your grandfather & he's hopefully up there today chatting with Corporal White and Lt Hoffman and the other men who fought so hard for our country and the world 72 years ago this month. :shake2:

one of my favorite posts in my thread bones.. thanks for sharing.. Gramps was very social and outgoing. I'm guessing he played cards with corp white or Lt Hoffman or both. The units comingled often during that march.. Also pretty sure gramps took some money off them:cheers3:
 
locking in this number as I think it drifts back.. very big play.

Iowa +3, Top unit +2 (only one of year)

happy to discuss if there are specific questions..

The 1 thing I saw in Florida's last game vs Bama is a little more creativity on offense. I'll be watching the SEC championship some more next week so I'll have better input, but I felt they were able to move the ball vs Bama.
Boneheaded mistakes cost them...Liking this game as much as you do, are you seeing a lack of offense from Florida and Iowa being able to score vs their D? GL!

You like Iowa more here than back in the Shonn Greene bowl vs Spurrier's So Carolina,eh?
Click to expand...

Good memory sir. That was good but I think my favorite (and most profitable) and best capped game was Iowa getting dogged in 2010 orange bowl and DC norm Parker (RIP) having 4 weeks to prepare for the option Cracker Jack offensive of GT. I think GT had just over 150 yards total offense.
 
Before someone new to thread starts the Iowa homer narrative-- one of my biggest plays of year was Rutgers + points vs Iowa earlier this year. Easy winner. I'll give you my thoughts on the situational aspect I like here when I get to my computer and not pecking on phone. Hint- I knew I would be on Iowa in Bowl game ty , if matchup was decent, many months ago.
 
Tee, I see a really bad D in Wyoming going against the 5th highest tempo offense in BYU. Also, I see a stout run D in BYU vs a Wyoming team which has lost their conference title and 3 of their last 4. Looks to meet like BYU would dominate on both sides of the LOS. Any input is appreciated because I thought of going large on BYU. Wyoming tt under is tempting too. GL

love the situation but before that-- quite fond of matchups

LSU -3, 4 units
Click to expand...

GL

What are your thoughts here? No Lenny= No problem as I said earlier this year....Guice is more than good enough(some say better).

I do have a concern about Beckwith being out....although Aranda has Duke Riley and other guys that might've not seen the field playing lights out at LB/hybrid spots.

Lindsey Scott(frosh QB for LSU) is mimicking Lamar in practice, just as he did as Hurts when LSU played Bama.

Early(too early.....Bookers or Blantons neat at 9am? Fuck I guess...) start time. 10AM Central....poor WC guys, get the 8AMer
 
GL Dub and Happy Holidays to you and your family!!

Keep rollin man!

Just jumped on Iowa +3.5-110 with the local. When you play anything involving this team, on or against, I'm on it with ya!

:cheers3:
 
Life getting in way again. Try to get to questions later. Appreciate the thread involvement. But current present count under tree: kids= 10-12 ea. , dubs= 8 including big curious one in back???, mrs tee*dub= 0... my 10 year old daughter and I trying to close gap this afternoon and tommorow. Is high end power washer good start?
