Me too.

Well, I could PROBABLY beat him with an 80 meter head start, but I don't want to sound cocky.

with the spread, Vandy lost by 6 1/2

OK.   I'm not very good at this, am I?

So, to review, when you picked OregonSt you were saying, "if you give OSU 13 points before the game even starts, will Minn still win the game?...No, I don't think they will. They would have to beat The Beavs by 14 in the real game to overcome the 13 we gave OSU at the start.."

Think of the spread like a head start in a race. If you and Usain Bolt raced in the hundred meters, Bolt wins easy...but if we give Bryan an 80 yard head start, then who wins? So the betting line would be

Bryan+80 vs Bolt, or conversely,
Bolt-80 vs Bryan.

I'm still confused.  Vandy lost by only 3, and I picked them.  SC didn't beat the spread, if I am understanding this correctly.  So I still lost?

South Carolina +3 1/2 at Vanderbilt - Vanderbilt
Oregon State +13 at Minnesota - Oregon State

Bryan = Carolina
Bolt = Vandy

The line says Vandy is "faster", (a better team) than Carolina by 3.5 points, they gave Carolina a 3.5 point "head start" just like we gave you against Bolt.

and this may be the only instance in internet history where 'vanderbilt' and 'bolt' are mentioned in the same sentence, especially as equals, even if its just for an analogy. lol

For purposes of our game, last night's final score was

South Carolina 16.5
Vandy 10

So folks who picked Carolina get the point. Vandy pickers sucking hind tit.

I underestimated how bad the Vandy offense could be. USC scoring 13 didn't surprise me, but that Vandy offense is putrid. When it was 10-0 Vandy, I thought the game was over. It was, but it was over for the Vandy offense.

BTW, screw you Muschump.

FINALLY!!!!!  Our resident lawyer makes a statement in plain English!        

Thanks Trn.  I actually understood what that means.
Now if you can do that with ALL the game results, I won't have to guess at how lousy I am doing.

You might want to send him a message. He might not see this in time.

Thanks for the reminder ETGator.

Hermine would kick everyone's asses.

I've now been awake/working for about 40 hours. There is still probably 60-70% of the Big Bend without power.

That Cat 1 opened a can of whoop ass on us, and caused me to miss the first night of CFB, and with how fucked up everything still is here, I'm probably gonna miss the Gators opener.

The media isn't reporting just how bad it is here, but if FSU were playing in Tally, no doubt it would have been canceled.

That was the weirdest (and most destructive) Cat 1 I have ever seen. So, that vicious life-sucking bitch from which there is no escape picks all underdogs left on the card in my name.

Just curious if I can get a "cowering under my desk during a hurricane" consideration about Thursday night from Trn.

You'll get an asterisk next to your barely above the Mendoza Line 2016 season.

You missed Friday's tilt as well to start 0-3...but you've got all Saturday's dogs, along with Texas and Ole Miss. Get some rest and hopefully you have extra gas for the generator.
