Wow, nice call

 

Just saw this posted:  DraftKings came out with more lines this morning. Nebraska -6.5 against CU.

My sportsbook (MGM) kinda sucks. They don’t have game lines yet. All they have now is o/u win totals and odds to win it all.

 

Doesn’t make much sense either. CU’s o/u is 5.5, Nebraska is 7.5 but odds to win it all CU is +12500 and NU is +20000. How can we be expected to win 2 more games yet our odds are longer for winning a natty?

Hmmm, that is odd.

 

No idea.

Because people are still stupid enough to be on Prima, just like the were last year.

Neither of those are good odds, so Colorado just has more variance and more people randomly betting on them. Both of the natty odds are really "no chance," so the difference is just based on interest. More people will throw away money on Deion, especially if they can get "better" odds than other longshots.

Probably because they see them winning their conference as more “possible” than us winning ours.

Both reasonable explanations. Just thought the disparity with the win totals was a bit odd.

CU -7 vs NDSU 

 

NDSU is going try to shorten the game by running the ball about 40 times and take 35 seconds off the playclock each snap.  And then hope the defense can hold on.

Deion is a snake oil salesman, and I think people are starting to see that about him. He's all about himself and his family. He brought a lot of attention (and revenue) to CU, a program that was really struggling. I thought all along that he'd only last 2, maybe 3, seasons, and I think he bolts after this year. I could absolutely see Jerry Jones bringing him in, because they'd be a match in ego maniac history. CU is going to be left with a mess of a program; will he leave it better than it was when he started? Remains to be seen.

Farrell still writing and hosting radio shows?  I always kind of liked him.

Do any of yall remember 1992, Braves clinch World Series postgame?  

 

How times have never changed

 

 

From the LA Times 

 

McCarver said the first time Sanders doused him, he was so shocked that he pulled a muscle in the right side of his back. After it happened a third time--while he was doing interviews--McCarver said he went in search of Sanders in the Braves’ clubhouse.

 

“I didn’t know what I would do or say, but as I was going toward the middle of the clubhouse, Sanders was creeping up with another tub of water,”

 

McCarver said during a conference call with reporters Thursday. “He said, ‘Where’s McCarver?’ and I said, ‘I’m right here.’

 

“He tried to hit me with another tub that missed me, and I said, ‘You know, Deion, you’re a real man, you are a real man.’ I thought it was a deliberate, cowardly act.”

 

Deion Sanders, in a taped interview with TNT’s Ernie Johnson, said: “How can you be a coward for throwing water on someone? The guy just didn’t want us to win and we did. He just got a little wetter than anybody else.
He’s flat-out ignorant. He’s more of a coward. I never met the man, and I never spoke to him in my life. We were just having a good time.”

 

For the record, McCarver was not just the analyst during the broadcast, but was a Major League Catcher from 1959 to 1980.

I feel like this thread needs a Seinfeld George Costanza jerk store meme.
