Bowl Thread 2010 (continued)

Wow.

Miami is really stinking it up.

Jacory might as well transfer, I highly doubt he sees a single down next season.

nor should he. Harris and his posse of Miami Northwestern teammates are the reason Randy Shannon is gone. Shannon rolled the dice on bringing the whole gang in and lost the gamble. Kind of like a GM who bets his future on a few high priced free agents who don't pan out.

Harris spent his entire high school career freelancing the playbook and never learned the position. He has spent the last 2 years audibilizing Miami's future on the football field. Coaches hate him because he doesn't listen and doesn't want to learn. Talented yet spoiled and not too bright. Good riddance.

I strongly dislike Mark Richt.

That HT interview did nothing to change that.

Agree 100%.

Very few of the Miami "greatest recruiting class" turned out to be very good, Jacory Harris just another one.  Wouldnt be surprised to see him play his last year at South Dakota State or something.

Nothing he said made me think he has a clue how to change things.

He is a dope, always has been - but once again I bet on a bad coach because I thought the talent difference on the field would overcome it.

Im just hoping for a 7 point luck win at this point, Im not interested in increasing my position on this group of clowns.

Every week - the problem is the time the games start - Im usually not up posting at 7.30am, but I should try harder to post the night before.

And for no reason.

The guy is a loser.

Happy New Year and best of luck in the rest of your bowl plays.  

Well, that is usually situaitonal and can change on a dime - but I cant see Blackpool keeping up their pace - they should downslide all second half but should easily stay up.  Wolves is doomed, and I think West Ham gets better and beats the drop.  Bolton deserves to be where they are, and should finish in the top 10.  I would predict Fulham, Wolves, and West Brom get the drop, with everton and Newcastle improving their positions, and Sunderland losing spots.

Big transfer window coming in January.  This is the time teams like Bolton will get picked clean, and teams like Chelsea can totally change overnight....

GL

Happy new years to you and yours too.

Happy New Year my fellow degenerates.....

Remember a couple of things this New Years.....

Because you gamble, you are automatically better equipped to deal with life than people who dont.  You calculate daily probabilities better than those that dont, your decision making process is more honed than those that dont.  You know what it is like to win, and you know what it is like to lose.  You have more excitment in a week than most have all year. 

To quote Henry Hill:  And that's the hardest part. Today, everything is different. There's no action. I have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food. Right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.

Dont live your life as a schnook.  Keep gambling.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Im really going to be sick with myself for a long time.

I know how valuable coaching is in these stupid bowl games, but yet I insisted on betting teams with known F level coaches, and I am paying the price.

Lesson learned.

I have posted about this in this thread and in my previous bowl thread, but will get back to it tomorrow if that is OK - got to run out to a party soon.....

So Georgia couldnt score a TD on UCF.

OK.

Somebody shoot me first, and Mark Richt second.

Thanks

I have to quote myself.

That might be the smartest thing I have ever typed.

I need to print it out, and hang it on my wall for next year.
