I enjoyed this thread so so much these past couple of weeks, and I cashed the last two weeks, I just hate to see this thread die. It was really fun looking at it first thing in the morning when I woke up. If you guys are willing to help me out a touch, I will do my best to keep it alive.

Good luck everyone.  You guys have this thing running smoothly.  You can keep it rolling without me.  I'm not doing anything except costing people money at this point.

Maybe check you all next fall.......

$$$$ Purdue -6

Guys I absolutely love this play and will be hammering this as my biggest bet of the week.  I’ve watched almost every single game these two teams have played in Big Ten play so far this season and there is nothing anyone could say to convince me that Wisconsin isn’t getting absolutely throttled tonight.  Wisconsin is for real but this is a terrible matchup.  Purdue by 20

Good luck and lets get it today!

The nature of the beast. I missed way left on my $$$$ play Sat with JMU . Completely miss read that game. I know I at least cost Jack Ryan some green yesterday and maybe some others including my self. Sorry Jack. Now I am out of the top ten at 5-3 and it sucks but ya know what I am coming back stronger and harder on my next play because thats what we do. So buck up little camper and put your big boy pants on and shake that Cal play off. Move on from it and keep rolling with us. I did go 11-7 yesterday hitting my 2 biggest play in Rutgers and UNC for a Nickle

All if USC doesn't return tonight I will get Monday's thread up with the results tonight.  I will try to get it up after the Hoosiers game.
