The Sock Puppet Rides!

Vegas would not take Jim Tressel's name off their betting board if they know "for sure" he will not get the job. They would lose money by doing so.

Not when they have a field bet.

I have it back up on my site. It's not off the board it's back on.

 

It opened up at tressel - 140

Field bet?

Basically on a bet of this type Vegas will list the most likely outcomes with odds then offer a "field bet" which is essentially everyone else. They do this for the exact reason you mentioned. So as not to be accused of having inside info and not offering a winning option at all. I'm not sure if the field is in play on this prop or notbecause the only odds i can find Bovada and they are offshore and could give 2 sh&ts whether itlooks sketchy or not

PS if you listened to SE, he said he decided Saturday night to fire BO. Hadn't even decided yet and the Sock had already said he would be fired before then, then changed it to Sunday STILL before SE had decided he was sure he wanted to fire him...

Stop. Just stop. Nothing you've "predicted" or passed on came to fruition. Quit back-pedaling. You're starting to come across as that iamanewby guy. Just throwing sh#t at the wall hoping some of it sticks so he can proclaim himself the all-knowing.

The Sock's peeps sayin' we probably hear somethin' official by the end of the weekend but it's hard to say for sure.

The Sock's own opinion is that this AD got the eye of the tiger. He a smooth operator. He got ice water in his veins. A ginger assassin. The kind of dude that can smile at you as he pulls the trigger. I saw that with mine own eyes during the TV presser.

The Sock's sources say that even the folks in the "inner circle" ain't bein' told nuthin' at this point and since there one guy doing the decidin', unless he talks, nobody knows.

That bein' said, Dan Mullen is still a real possible candidate. Moglia has reached out to SE (not the other way round).

The tweets isn't somethin' to think too much about. These smart dudes know how to cover up they smoke better'n them moonshiners. The Sock wouldn't be surprised if they's floatin' names out there just to cover they tracks and keep all us nosy folks runnin' in circles.

One source says he has a gut feeling that it could be Frost. No inside info on that one so take it with a bit o salt. Also said that those in the coachin' gig hold Frost in VERY high regard as one of the brightest young minds in football.

So, nuthin' solid, and even the sources nervous these days, which is to be expected.

It'll all work out in the end.

Go Big Red!
