No, I didnt want you to take that the wrong way. You werent stirring the fire. It was just going to get us wayyy off topic. Ya know?

If you are around on Monday, I dont mind a little intelligent debate. But now? Lets concentrate on Saturday. I dont think any of us win enough to be thinking about anything other than Saturday.

Its like the people who want to argue about the BCS. Are you really telling me those people dont have better things to worry about? Really?

          Grove City, before you use The Death Valley angle for the basis of your play, take a good look at the ats numbers, during the Les Miles era, at this venue.  Well over 80% ats in night games, but in the mid 30% ats during the day. Not sure when Saban won there if it was a night game or during the day, but don't think that home field in the afternoon at Death Valley is that big a deal. BOL whatever you do.

Wow, you're just reaching now... let me show you some numbers that suggest otherwise:

Total Defense:
TCU # 1, 217 ypg
 
Utah # 6, 268 ypg
 
Let's go further and look at the ranks of who each has played:
 
TCU opponent's offensive rankings nationally out of 120 teams-
Oregon St # 77, 351 ypg
SMU # 29, 428 ypg
Baylor # 8, 490 ypg
Colorado St # 74, 354 ypg
Wyoming # 120, 237 ypg
BYU # 107, 303 ypg
AF # 26, 437 ypg
UNLV # 117, 272 ypg
 
That is an average of # 70 ranked offense we're going against weekly and giving up 217 yards per game.

San Jose St. # 116, 273 ypg
Iowa St. # 98, 321 ypg
Pittsburgh # 65, 371 ypg
New Mexico # 118, 264 ypg
 
That is an average of # 92 ranked offense Utah is going against weekly and giving up 268 yards per game.



Listen, you came in last week and it wasnt successful. I see you are a glutton for punishment, though, so I will oblige....

Your stats are all meaningless. Completely utterly meaningless.

Do you know why?

You are counting TCU at home and Utah on the road in those stats.

You know whats not going to happen this weekend? TCU isnt going to be playing at home. Utah isnt going to be playing on the road.

Now that you have that key piece of information in your head.

Go look at TCU on the road. Go look at Utah at home.

Again, I will state my claim:

Utah has just as good of a defense as TCU



Disclaimer - Yes, I think its hsyterical the guy who was in my thread last week all over Utah is now telling me how bad they are defensively. I still can remember him saying last week - 'But Utah rotates 3 sets of D Linemen'

 What the fuck difference does it make if he picks the games out off his own ass.  He picks winners, something that you're not very good at.

So I am going to assume that Sparty is going to get pissed when he finds out that I use an Octopus to pick my 20 unit wagers.

Pulling out all of your extra usernames aren't you Sizzle

Am sure you will get some clients in no time

Nothing would make me happier than to see you sweep 3 weeks in a row.  Because i think we all know what would happen then

Which team profits more from their respective bye weeks, Bama or LSU?

Bama has been through a gauntlet this year and was in desperate need a of an off week. Lots of banged up players (ie Dareus) on the mend. Also, I'll give you the fact that Saban can be outcoached concerning X's and O's but he can't be fucked with when it comes to intangibles. I think Bama makes a statement this week.

Finally: TURNOVERS. This LSU offense will surely give the ball away more than once.

If you read my threads, you all know Spartys schtick. He finds people that do really well and then tries to rain on their parade. He doesnt care if you are a loser, he wont give you a hard time. Only if you are a winner.

Which brings me to last week - he was accusing Train of wanting to become a tout. Train has been here for 8 years. Just waiting for that right time to jump.



You cant take this guy seriously. With a grain of salt and a laugh, thats all.

On LSU, ASU & Navy as well.. shocking..

vs. you in South Carolina.. this game means nothing for the Cocks who clinch the East with a W next week in the swamp regardless of what happens this week.. SC also pretty bad vs the pass.. Mallet should have a big day, even w/o Childs..

All I do is nail ECU games. This is the easiest team to read in college ball. They dont play defense, at all. Navy should kill this team with TOP. I dont see Navy being off the field for very long this game. Triple-Option tough to defend. It also gets opposing offenses anxious because it they end up sitting on the bench for longer than average. There is a reason ECU is only being offered as a 3pt favorite at home and its not because they are the play. Never bet against a team that just lost SU as DD faves when they are getting points the next week. Its a losing prop.


lol...like when you told us they could not beat or cover against Marshall at home.
EAST CAROLINA (37) -12.5 vs. Marshall (10)

I understand people miss games, but you were a bit over the top in telling everyone who was on ECU they were wrong and you know ECU better than anyone.

GL either way.

Don't even play the "this guy came in my thread last week" card.  I heard you say this week you got lucky in the AF/Utah game last week with a late backdoor cover...don't try and tell me otherwise.

What about weeks 2-5? 3-6? 4-7?

Those were 3 weeks in a row. Actually, those were 6 weeks in a row.

Damn, you make me put things into perspective. I am fucking good.
