@teachercd What’s the line and overs for the Nebraska game?

I’ve only been to Michigan about 3 times. Two were just touch and goes at the Detroit airport but spent a few days in Kalamazoo and really liked that area. Whereabouts you at? AFAIK @ZRod and @Danny Bateman are up in the mitten also.

D!ck I’d be betting everything I had on NU if I had the ability. Still holding out hope MGM puts the game on the board before kickoff.

Oh yeah that helps immensely. I’ve been in Colorado since 86. The first ten years cemented my hate for CU but it still continues to grow a little bit every year.

I didn’t realize you were no longer in foco. When did you move?

Speaking of bad luck (or bad picks). I sort of liked both KU and KSU last night but waited until the games were underway. Both Kansas’s were ahead by a score when I decided KU was the correct team to place my bet on. That is exactly when UNLV started controlling the game and KSU pulled away. FML

I gotta find a better betting app. MGM isn’t even offering the NU-UNI game. Hell, @teachercd lives in a state that doesn’t even have legalized sports gambling and he’s getting side totals on DivIII games

I feel for ya. Not that long ago it was that way in Colorado also. But this time around has been so much better. There is some benefit to not being a battleground state. Not much question that Colorado will go to Harris. Some of the house and senate races are pumping out propaganda but nothing like you see at the Presidential level. On an anecdotal side note. A couple blocks from my house there are two houses side by side, one has Trump stuff and the other Harris. The Trump house had their signs up first (of course). The Harris guy is a veteran, has always had the pow/mia flag but now has Veterans for Harris and Harris/Walz signs. Seems like a nice old guy with 3 dogs. I’m constantly tempted to stop and ask him how he gets along with his next door Trump neighbor

Oh sure, it can change. And I’m not really saying it isn’t a rivalry already. But to see the same level of game day juice as last week’s CU game, it just takes more factors.

No Iowa game will have the same crowd juice as a CU game….or Wisconsin or Michigan or tOSU or USC or Miami etc. There are 2 factors missing for Iowa. 1- You have to Hate them and feel disrespected by the other team to get that super electric atmosphere. Sure nobody likes Iowa but the hate just isn’t at the required level for most fans. It’s hard to really really hate them when in the back of your mind you sort of feel sorry for them. No CFB fan wishes their team was more like Iowa. Maybe short term or in certain aspects but absolutely nobody wants to watch that paint dry week in and week out. 2- The expectation is always to beat them. For the crowd to get that juiced, there needs to be a bit of a feeling that your team may not win. Iowa is sooo bland and boring. It’s hard to not feel a W is in the bag as long as we don’t beat ourselves. Nebraska fan can’t get that riled up when all you have to do to win is play halfway competent football.

Hey, we’re trying to narrow it down to one option, not expand it to four

Ope. My bad. I thought that meant you went 1-2 last week but you were correct with 2-1. I’m gonna start betting your picks instead of mine.

Sorry, I did not see that or I would have (maybe) I have not been following P&R that closely. Kind of sick of political banter right now.

Strife, Stride, Stripes. Two of these can make contextual sense. I’ve never had anyone explain exactly how stripes fits or works. And so it’s odd to me that the guys who invented it so often say it is/was stripes. Just an observation. Maybe they weren’t exactly sure what it was Jason Peter was screaming at the time

I don’t want to play devils advocate on this issue, because it had absolutely zero to do with the debate, but I will. I don’t know about the AKA sorority but favoritism for fraternity brothers and sorority sisters is kind of a thing. You don’t have to know them and they don’t have to be your age or from the same chapter. All other things being equal, there could be favoritism shown to someone who wore the same greek letters. It certainly was mentioned in our frat undergrad years to extend favoritism to frat brothers in future business dealings. I doubt my fraternity was the only one to broach the subject. But no, it didn’t have jack s#!t to do with the debate moderation. I suppose you could make the argument that she let Trump talk significantly more time and butt in way more times as a favor to Kamala. If Trump is talking, Harris is winning.

No, I was dead serious. A fireman used to live next door to us. d!(k. He finished 3 basements on our cul de sac alone.

Oh crap! If they practiced for Nebraska for 2 whole weeks…..they might actually score.

You left out that they had to stop by 2 job sites to check up on their contractor side hustle jobs. When you only work 9-10 days a month, plenty of time for another job. T-Bones, I bet they had T-Bones for supper that night.

The life of a teacher…. Firemen don’t change the sex of our kids. Just sayin.

Well then….. App State didn’t cover +17 Just sayin

IDK man. Based on UNI beating the St. Thomas Tommies (a team I have never even heard of before) 17-10? I think UNIs only hope of doing better than UTEP is if we take them way too lightly and start pulling starters in the 2nd.

Didn’t Clemson win 66-20?

Those people never have been good with self awareness.

Hopefully that isn’t the strangest thing you’ve garnered from his musings.
