    I'll say it again! A FRIGGIN CLASSIC!

    By the end I'd half forgotten about the bet and just wanted the longhorns to do it so badly - not cover, just win! Amazing game...

    also glad I didnt go on any of my top 3 choices of nba games (orlando, chicago, milwaukee) and went all in on horns with my weeks bankroll, although wasnt thinking that when SC were up 7 and looking rampant...

    I think Bush believed his own press a little with that lateral pass....

    and I never gave Young any credit for the poise he possesses... man after they went 12pts down at the end and the 2 corners got knocked out everyone on the texas sideline looked beat apart from young - that mofo just had determination etched across his face...

    prediction: young stays for senior year completing a course in knitting or something, packers minus brett go 1-15 and get a new franchise QB for themselves... hell if I were them I'd start praying Young stays for his senior year....

    Wow Wow Wow! I took Texas on the ML so that was good. I am 9-0 since last week with a little pick riding and self capping as well. Thanks to all who are putting in their 2 cents (Vegas and PC you guys are unreal)

    As far as the game last night, what else can be said except Go Texas and on a broader stage Go Big 12. Growing up in Dallas I am naturally a Texas follower and after attending Mizzou I support the whole Big 12 come bowl season and tourney time. I have to say, not a bad run for what critics called the 5th best conference in the country.

    8 Bowl Teams

    The Losses

    Iowa State lost a close one to a legitamite top 15 team that could have gone undefeated

    Texas Tech lost on a last seocnd field goal to a solid top 10 team

    Colorado is in disarray but at least showed up for a little while

    The Wins

    Kansas destroyed Houston

    Missouri took down the Ol' Ball Coach and a team that almost won the SEC

    Nebraska looks to be back with a convincing win over Michigan

    An Oklahoma team in the midst of "an off year" took out an Oregon team that many felt was BCS quality

    Texas is our National Champion

    Again not bad for a conference in a down year!

    I am bummed that CFB is over for the season as it always goes too quickly. However with last night's win I finished the bowls up 28 units. Never will argue that.

    Thanks again to everyone and the GP family.

    2-0 ATS YESTERDAY.... WELL HOPE SOMEONE is playing the PITT picks as they have been money!! Nice way to end the CFB bowl season with another winner last night! I won a CFB bowl contest at Cappers Mall going 19-9 and 3-0 on best bets(no totals just winners vs the lines that they posted)! Posted my strong plays on GP but not every play as most on here dont look anyway not enough flash I quess but not my style! Been a great CFB year and CBB so far good luck the rest of the year to all! For tonight time to turn all attention to CBB: MSU +6 in a BARNBURNER for tonight! GL

ALTHOUGH, I BELIEVE IT WORKED OUT FINE BUT TOO MUCH CONFUSION AND COMPLAINTS SO IM POSTING NOW. FIRST OFF CONGRATS TO ALL TEXAS BACKERS$$$$$$ OFF COURSE SPECIAL CONGRATS TO RICKY AND HIS HORNS AND BIGPIMPIN. YOU GUYS DESERVED IT WITH THE HURRICANE AND ALL YOU GUYS NEEDED SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT THIS YEAR AND WHAT A CLASSIC WIN THAT WAS MAYBE THE BEST CFB GAME OF ALL TIME ALTHOUGH I STILL THINK FLUTIE VS MIAMI WAS BETTER :lol: GUYS I TOUTED THIS PLAY TO 2 HUGE USC FANS AND DID NOT WANT TO PUSH MY POST ON GOTPICKS BECAUSE I WENT OUT IN STYLE WITH MY LAST BOWL GAME HUGE PLAY GOC#2 FLORIDA. I CALLED DOLLAR AT HALFTIME AND TOLD HIM I WAS UNLOADING MY ACCOUNT ON TEXAS 2ND HALF AS I SAW THEM JUST PUNCH HIS TROJANS IN THE MOUTH IN THE FIRST HALF. I POSTED TO JINX HIS BOYS AS THATS ONE TEAM I CAN'T STAND AND AM ESCTATIC THAT THEY FAILED TO GET THE JOB DONE. NOTRE DAME STILL WON THAT GAME DOLLAR LOL. I URGE YOU NEXT YEAR TO FOLLOW LEE CORSO'S CHAMP PICK I AM PROUD TO SAY IVE PICKRODE HIS NATL CHAMP PICK THE LAST 7 YEARS AND HAVE CASHED IN EACH TIME!!!! I HIT EVERY BOWL GAME I POSTED AND ROLLED WITH BY GAMETIME I CALLED OFF 2 BECAUSE OF BAD LINE MOVEMENT AND THOSE PROVED TO CASH IN WHEN THE LINE MOVES THE WRONG WAY I SHOULD OF JUMPED ON BOTH OHIO ST AND MEMPHIS AFTER I NOTICED THIS MOVEMENT BUT I LAID OFF THE SIDES BECAUSE I CAN NEVER BET AGAINST THE IRISH AND WAS CHICKEN TO BET MEMPHIS AND JUST LAID OFF THE GAMES COMPLETLEY. REVERSE LINE MOVEMENT CAN MAKE SOME HUGE HITS AS FLORIDA STATE, WEST VIRGINIA AND TEXAS PROVED TO CASH THE TICKET. ALTHOUGH NOT POSTED I PLAYED ALL 3 OF THOSE. NEVADA WAS MY ONLY LOSS WHICH WAS A HUGE CHOKEJOB. JOE CONGRATS ON YOUR BOWL CONTEST I WON A BOWL CONTEST AND AN 2 NFL CONTESTS THIS YEAR ONE WITH MY SPORTSBOOK AND ONE WITH FRIENDS FROM HOME. I USUALLY DO ONE EACH YEAR AND WIN SOME TYPE OF PRIZE FROM THE TOP 10, BUT THIS YEAR CLEANED UP ITS FREE AND EASY AND IM ABOUT TO TAKE EVERYONES MONEY IN A NFL PLAYOFFS CONTEST AS WELL! JOE PEOPLE NOTICE WHEN OTHERS WIN SO YOU DON'T NEED A SYMPATHY LETTER ABOUT PEOPLE NOT NOTICING JUST DO YOUR THING AND IF YOU DO WELL YOU WILL GET NOTICED BELIEVE ME. IVE PICKRODE TQUNBER WHEN HE WAS ON FIRE AND IVE PLAYED A COUPLE OF YOUR PLAYS BEFORE WHEN I HAVE NO PREFERENCE AND IVE PICKRODE PC, SUNDAY, JTMONEY, AND MANY OTHERS. JUST KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, BUT STOP FADING MY BALTIMORE RAVENS PLAYS :wink: ANYWAYS WE HAVE OUR CBB GOY#2 AVAILABLE TODAY AND WE TOOK THIS TEAM A MONTH AGO MINUS THE # VS WICHITA STATE AND CASHED IN EASY. YES WE ARE GOING WITH THE BIG GREEN MACHINE TO BRING US SOME GREEN AT THE ATM MACHINE. GUYS MICHIGAN STATE WILL BE AROUND +8. THEY HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE AND ILLINOIS LOST SOME KEY FIGURES TO THE NBA AND THE REBOUNDING CLEARLY IS IN MICHIGAN STATES FAVOR AND I THINK DAVIS AND AGER COVER THE 8 IF NOT POSSIBLY WIN THIS GAME STRAIGHT UP. THEY ARE ONE OF MY PLAYS TO REACH THE FINAL 4 THIS YEAR AND I HOPE THEY MEET UP WITH GONZAGA IN ANOTHER CLASSIC FROM EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT WOULD BE GREAT! ALSO WE HAVE AN NBA UNDERDOG GOW ANYONE BESIDES ME EVER NOTICE TRACY MCGRADY SEEMS TO ALWAYS CASH IN ON TNT? WELL THAT LITTLE TREND SHOULD CONTINUE TONIGHT WITH CLEVELAND MISSING THEIR 2ND BEST DEFENDER AND SCORER LARRY HUGHES I THINK HOUSTON CAN SNEAK WITHIN THIS 7.5 NUMBER TONIGHT. ANYWAYS GUYS DON'T FORGET WE GOT OUR 4-0 PLAYOFFS PICKS AND IM NOW UPGRADING 1 OF THE BEST BETS TO A GOY. PITTSBURGH-3 HAS MORE EXPERIENCE AND WITH ROTHLESBERGER WITH ONE PLAYOFF GAME UNDER HIS BELT AS OPPOSED TO NONE WITH CARSON PALMER. ALSO A SHOCKED AND DRUNKEN PALMER STILL STUNNED BY THE USC GAME WILL BE THINKING ABOUT PETE CARROLL'S 4TH AND 2 DECISION ALL WEEK. TOO MUCH DISTRACTION FOR CARSON AND HINES KETCHUP WARD WILL GET A HUGE TD DOWN THE STRETCH TO SEAL THE DEAL. CINCINATTI GOT EXPOSED THE LAST 3 WEEKS OF THE SEASON, WHILE THE STEELERS ARE THE HOTTEST TEAM HEADING INTO THE PLAYOFFS. SO ITS THE SUNDAY SWEEP FOLKS I BELIEVE MY 2ND GOY CAROLINA+3 AND THE ML THEY WILL WIN OUTRIGHT BELIEVE ME! GIANTS ARE ALL BANGED UP AND THEIR IS SOME CONTROVERSY IN THE LOCKER ROOM AS WE SPEAK. THESE PLAYS DON'T LIKE COUGHLIN THOUGH THEY RESPECT HIM. WHEN THE GIANTS LOSE IN THE FIRST ROUND YOU WILL HEAR SOME RUMBLINGS ABOUT HIM POSSIBLY LEAVING I BELIEVE DESPITE A GREAT YEAR HE HAD. I BELIEVE PITTSBURGH AND CAROLINA WILL MEET IN THE SUPERBOWL THIS IS WHY IM SO HIGH ON THESE TWO TEAMS IN ROUND ONE. MY HEART WANTS PATS TO 3PEET, BUT MY HEAD SAYS IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN IN COLLEGE OR NFL I HOPE IM WRONG!!! I WILL PROBABLY MAKING A GUARANTEE TO JTTHEBRICK TONIGHT WITH SOMETHING ON THE LINE FOR THESE 2 SUN GOY'S, I HAVEN'T ON HERE BUT I DO FEEL SUNDAYS PLAYS ARE MY STRONGER TWO BEING CAROLINA AND PITTSBURGH GOY'S AND I WILL SWEEP THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT IT! IVE COME THROUGH GUARANTEEING 3 X'S ON JT THE BRICK NOT TO LOSE ON THE WEEKEND I GUARANTEED MY PLAYS AND EACH TIME I CAME OUT 2-0, 2-0 AND 1-0-1. BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW ILL MAKE CAROLINA NFL GOY(18-5-1 GOTPICKS/20-4-1 JTTHEBRICK) MY 2 NFL BEST BETS ARE ON PATRIOTS-7.5 & WASHINGTON+3 GOODLUCK EVERYONE AND REMEMBER TO KICK THE BOOKIES IN THE BALLS!!!$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Alright, 3 plays Im hitting hard tonight:

    Michigan St +8 (Agree with Vegas, Joe Weaver etc. Illinois was favored by 7 over Georgetown last month and now they are giving 8 to the best team, and only ranked opponent, they have faced by far. I dont think so)

    Villanova -2.5 (Louisville is overrated IMO. They are a paltry 1-6 ATS at home with close wins over Richmond, Detroit, and MTSU. Nova guards are fast, strong and most of all experienced)

    S. Illinois -4 (Salukis have won 9 in a row over Sycamores and then I read this earlier...Top scorer David Moss has a hamstring injury that will keep him from playing for the Indiana State basketball team for two to four weeks, the school announced. Moss, a 6-5 senior forward, is averaging 17.5 points. He was hurt early in the Sycamores' 97-78 loss Friday at Missouri State. He did not play in Monday's 54-46 home loss to IPFW. They lose to IPFW by 8 at home and now they get only 4 to S. ILL???)

    Here's an interesting "tip" about tonights game!

    NO STUDENTS? While Izzo hasn't been happy about the Spartans' tough early Big Ten schedule, he can be happy about one aspect of the next two road games - not as much noise.

    The games at Illinois and then Wisconsin on Sunday are occurring during winter breaks.

    Kent Brown, an Illinois spokesman, said school won't be in session in Champaign, Ill., and that he doesn't expect a full turnout from the Fighting Illini student section - the Orange Crush.

    "It won't be anywhere near what it would be," Brown said.

    Brown said several hundred of the 4,500-strong student section have attended home games while on break.

    Just thought I'd pass this along! Go Spartans!

    All right, heating up again as we hit the last 2 in a row in the Big XII. Tonight I'm jumping back into the valley (albeit a little trigger shy but still fearless) with a road favorite.

    ROLL WITH ME ON Northern Iowa -1 @ Wichita State.

    I know that Turgeon and the Shockers are tough this year at home. But I still believe that UNI is the cream of the crop in a very deep Valley this year. In addition, the Panthers are 3-2 SU and ATS on the road in their last 5 with the losses being to UNBEATABLE Bradley at home and the very tough Cyclones in Ames. They beat LSU SU @ LSU and other quality wins at Dayton and in the Valley. I don't have the numbers to prove it, but if I remember correctly over the years, the Panthers own the Shockers in head to head.

    I am rollin on UNI..the line is varied from +1 to -1,.but I will post the worst line possible. ROLL ON UNI -1 tonight at Wichita State.

    Vegas..couldn't agree more on the Spartans and whoever was on that.

    Honicky..I agree with those plays as well. Only thing that scares me is the 90% bet ratio on Bradley right now. But maybe the Valley betting nation knows better than Vegas. Salukis seem to be rolling too and your right, Drake has slipped off since entering the Valley schedule.

    My Valley leans, but not counting on posted:

    Agree with Honicky on SIU and Bradley

    Really like Creighton giving 12 to Illiniois State at home.

    Take care all, thanks as always for the kind words. Hope we all slam the man.

    Congrats RICKY...I'm really happy for you and your Longhorn nation. I lost my bets, but enjoyed the game immensely.

    NBA: 11-8-1 ATS

    College 26-15-1 ATS

    Mo Valley: 12-6-ATS

    Big XII: 11-7ATS (hit on KU last night to run it to 5-1 ATS)

    Out of Conference3-5 ATS

    ok in honor of my buddy pc, i've decided on my no gambling play of day to be in pc's favorite conference. hehe

    s. ill -4 over indiana state.

    pc, bro no david moss for sycamores is a lot of points not in the lineup.

    i think salukis put it away at then end with some foul shots to get the cover.

    gl

    record 4-1

    let's see what happens tonight but i do believe this one cashes.

    Hey guys,

    This is not a fade of this board and it is very difficult to go against vegas hot streak but.......

    20* Game of the Month for me on the ILLINOIS ILLINI -8! Last night I loved Mich. St +8 pts thinking the line was absolutely ridiculous but I think it is a trap all the way. Every board I read has people saying MSU not only covers but wins SU and everyone agrees. Illinois is my pick of the month!

    GL to MSU backers but unfortunately I am the other way tonight!

    -even harder because I am a huge MSU basketball fan!

    This game is an especially hard game to cap for me, because I am an Illinois grad and have rooted for the Illini since I was born (I grew up in Champaign). While I agree that normally the student crowds would be missing because of the semester break during Christmas, that will NOT be true tonight. Most students are from the Chicago area and are driving down today for the game. I know that the entire Orange Krush section will be there and this game is totally sold out.

    For those that follow the Illini, they have about 2 home games a year that they dub as PTO (Paint The Hall Orange)...this is NOT one of them (the first one will be against Indiana on February 19th), but you can be assured the stands will be filled with orange.

    When I first started capping this game yesterday, I thought the line would be around 5-7 in favor of the Illini and when I checked this morning on VegasInsider.com I saw the line was at 7.5...so no real surprise to me.

    I think this game could go 1 of 2 ways...either a very close game (as most of you hope it will be) or it could be a double-digit victory for the Illini.

    While the Illini had a very potent 3-guard (Dee Brown, Deron Williams, Luther Head) offense last year, this year they have more inside presence with the return of Augustine and now Pruitt, Arnold and Randle, as well as, outside perimeter shooting from Dee Brown, McBride and the true freshman Jamar Smith. By March this team could go very deep in the tourney.

    I will not bet this game, but if I had to predict a final score it would be:

    Illinois -78

    Michigan State - 72

    Good Luck to all and for me...Go Illini!
