Currently battling stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma.  Can't take it with me, but might as well see how much can be accumulated before time expires on my clock.  Time to start posting again.  Hope some of the "old friends" are still around. 

Felt well enuff yesterday after chemo earlier in the week to start capping and toss some money at 'em.  All systems go as far as I'm concerned.  I'll post as often as my health and treatments will allow.  Hit em pretty darn good outta the gate last night to the tune of 5 wins and 0 losses (4 hoops and 1 puck).  Had wagers on Vandy, UNLV, Texas, Michigan and the Carolina Hurricanes. 

Ready to live a little as I sit here possibly dying,  Let's gooooo!!!

I'll see what Wednesday evening brings, but right now UGA, Cincy and Nova offer offer me some appeal.  Purdue and Memphis caught my eye a touch as well.

I wasn't able to make it to Keeneland.  Sick from many radiation treatments at that time.  This has been a quite aggressive cancer.  It's moving on me swiftly.  Hated missing that weekend.

Actually liking Nova to take this one in the 20+ range.  I can understand the hesitation, but the number doesn't scare me at the moment.  A long way til this evening, but if I had t take a stab at how my card will look, I'm thinking something like this.  Two straight wagers and a money line parlay. 
Villanova -16.5
Cincinnati -9
(UGA -240, Memphis -250, LSU -375 ,Cincy -510)
It's still a long way til tonight though.  My eyes and ears are still wide open

Placed those wagers on Cincy and Nova then celebrated with a prescription drug induced nap. lol  Might have something else later (moneyline parlay maybe) but will be closer to to tips if so.  Being the superstitious fella I am...feels like I'll probably lose out of the gate since I'm posting them up.  Be careful...haha

Cincinnati -9 (-115)
Villanova -16.5
