GOTTA start on week 3......NOW ....or I'll run outta time
* looking at LONG work days Thurs / Fri
NOTE: any resemblance implied by below comments to current or former Covers members ...is without malice and purely coincidental
* shoulda hired mws to write that...............
ANYBODY.....here wanna make (more) money?.....
Look all around you ....the widespread overreactions are outta control........making me NUTS....but yes I AM aware....it's just CAOMS.....> cranky azz old man syndrome.........
IDEA : USE these overreactions....to make more money
DO WE IN FACT WE JUST START OVER.....each year?.......each game wtf?.......a RECORD of performance for an entire year(s)...just thrown out?
* any 'reasonable' person.....would conclude......why hell no...of course not that's idiotic
INDEED......a team is either ....
* getting better.....worse....or staying the same
$$$ SO.....really NO NEED for all this chick - like drama......is there?...........
VERY few....go up and down each week / year.......with YOUR emotions holy crap
BUT..... in a culture where idiots like Skip Bayless and that Stephen A Smith are multi-millionaires....makes sense I reckon
* UN-INFORMED / EMOTIONAL.....over the freakin' top reactions....are termed......PASSION......and not only paid attention to but respected somehow...." well he screams his opinions...he
must know what he's talking about"..................................
maybe do it this way.....
.
FORGET ONE....or even TWO games
* Look at teams with a defined history of either....
Clearly getting BETTER...on BOTH sides of the ball
* like: WF...SMU...Army...Washington...Troy...Vandy......etc
OR....getting WORSE...on both sides
* N Illinois...Nebraska...Ariz St.......etc
MAYBE....better on one side / worse on the other
* Ark St O down / D up.....OU O up / D down...NC St O down....D way up....La Tech O up / D down... UTEP O up / D sux.....
NOTE; FORGET wins / losses....
* look at yards / play...yards / point.....S&P ratings....etc
* consider total yards ....pts/game as well sure
Or maybe make it easier on yourself......focus on teams that don't change much
* like Kansas St....Utah...Duke....Iowa...Toledo...BYU....etc
Usually.....unless the guy is a REALLY good coach
* like Willie Fritz....Matt Campbell...Justin Fuente etc....you need at least 2 years....
IF UNSURE?......simply WAIT .....really no rush
eg.
* PURDUE.....really wanna lay those points to OHIO.....week 2?
* Oreg St (looks) bad right now?.....jump on Minny here?
* SO now....the Terps have arrived?....Texas SUCKS?.....has no athletes?....Herman can't coach?.......
* Charlie Strong is DONE!!!!.....well take UConn and the 17 whydontcha ........you're gonna (probably) lose > Charlie is awesome again !......a perfect fit at USF !!!!..
* MTS gets beat up by Vandy.....jump on Syracuse here?.....they look to be a different team altogether than Vandy....to me
* S Carolina is HERE!......I told ya' Muschamp can coach >> gonna jump on 'em vs Mizzou?............
.......>> NC St is TERRIBLE.......I'm on Marshall here BRO !!!!
MY favorite...............CLEMSON IS BETTER THAN BAMA !!!!!!
BRYANT IS AS GOOD AS WATSON......RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!
$ well hell......he LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM IN HIS UNIFORM BRO !!!!......that's good enough for me BRO !!!
* AUBURN.....HAS NO CHANCE !!!!!!!!!................
* NOTE......some of the above will no doubt work......the POINT is ....that is a LOSING.....long term strategy
* throwing darts....or picking winners by tougher mascots may also work in the short term......'post hoc / propter hoc'... ha
AND.......................
* some of the BELOW......maybe all of 'em......will not work no doubt.....but IMO....it's a sound strategy......to win consistently.....and maybe not having a car payment in oh say...... 25 years or so............
* yes.....the ol BA drives nice cars wise azz .....

leans....
Nevada +10.......MTS +10 ....Fresno +43...Ga +10' / Miss St -2'
considering.....Iowa St...Indiana...Rutgers...E Caro? (terrible spot for Dana here).......off loss ?....covered 7 of last 24.....you think ol Dana is upbeat....ready to tackle the next challenge?.....or an emotional / depressed wreck off a tough loss ?
a REALLY uncomfortable spot for Ball St......historically terrible at home.....tremendous on the road......I'll take the more athletic CUSA team (consider bowl trends).....getting a FAT 14......risky so small only......that's a BIG athletic D for UAB
just a hunch the Sooners hang for awhile....Buckeyes kinda stumbling around.....will look for a play on Ohio St 2H....OR OU if bet loses
BOL boys back later....................
