Freak Pics!!! (Bowl Edition)

Bowl recap:

-11.4 units on the day. My overall record on "posted" bowl plays is currently 21-13-1 and 2 & 1 on "Best Bets," which is good for +17.30 Units.

I took an absoute blood bath on bad beat after bad beat!!!    I should have been up 24.8 units for the day, but a ridiculous string of bad beats left me giving 11.4 units back today.  Ihate when I cap games perfectly and still lose money.  I was sooooo fucking pissed off after that Georgia debacle that I didn't even bet the late games.

Hope y'all fared better than I did today.

I'm going to go ahead and lock in one of my favorite plays of the bowl season.

Arkansas St. -1.5 vs. Northern Illinois  ***  Best Bet  ***

"Best Bet" = 10 Units

I locked in Virginia Tech +135 ML.

Anyone who understands anything about football knows that Alabama and LSU are in a league of their own this season.  No one in college football can stay on the field with them, certainly not Oklahoma State.  I think the only team that would have any shot of beating either would Oregon, and they couldn't pull it off if Alabama and/or LSU had extra time to prepare for their offense.

Before the BCS champuonship game was set I said I would not be real upset if Oklahoma State played LSU in the championship game becasue it would give gamblers two free wins they could load up on and "Max Bet."  Alabama or LSU wwould beat any team they were matched up against by 3-4 TDs (except maybe Oregon).

Here are some interesting and accurate tweets about Oklahoma State from Danny Sheridan during last night's Fiesta Bowl

"told respected member of Okl media during 3rd quarter UA or LSU would pop them 35-14 or 35-17"

"they'd need an onsite Mash Unit if OSU was in NC game vs. UA or LSU, & WRs & RBs go on strike"

"add in the fast track of the dome, & OSU would be shell-shocked at UA or LSU team speed.plus OSU def bad"

"spooked after the game's 1st or 2nd blitz. so would anyone who has never seen NFL speed & power like that." " hospital med-avac helicopters on stand by.only peace OSU would have is at the coin toss, then downhill bigtime' "those WRs & RBs would fake injuries after 1st hit & I wouldn't blame them. men vs mature teenagers!"

That pretty much sums it up.

Lock in:

Michigan vs. Virginia Tech ML +135  2 Units

Pending:

Arkansas St. -1.5 vs. Northern Illinois *** Best Bet ***

Bama is my biggest play this year...anyway, Im with you on the V tech game too...BOL I really think Bud Foster with a month to prepare can contain Dernard and think Wilson can get to the edge tonight for some big gains. Im just  hoping the V tech kicking game doesnt f8ck us over...cause they are a big "?"

Ummmmm, I don't know how to break this to you, but Alabama played a tougher SEC schedule than LSU.  Alabama had the exact same SEC schedule this season except that LSU played Kentucky and Alabama played Vandy.

  Vandy beat Kentucky by 5 TDs. 

So while Alabama and LSU's SEC schedules were very close, no one can make the argument that LSU played a more difficult SEC schedule than Alabama.  To do so would be to make the preposterous argument that Kentucky is better than Vanderbilt.

I realize that.  Starting place kicker Cody Journell was arrested and charged with felony breaking and entering and won't play.  Also back-up kicker Tyler Weiss was sent back to Blacksburg for missing the team's 1 a.m. curfew.  Long kickoff specialist Justin Myer will handle place-kicking duties tonight.  Of course this could very well be an issure tonight.  I still think the Hokies get the "W" tonight.
