I AM CANCELLING MY NEW MEXICO PLAY ALTOGETHER.

I RARELY DO THIS BUT THINK THE LOSS OF FERGUSON IS A VERY BIG DEAL.

No play on this game at all, waiting for BYU....

My experience with cancelling or changing plays at the last minute (whether warranted or not) is about 90% losses...but after starting the bowl season 0-3, I can understand being gun shy.

Good thing I rode it out with the Lobos. BYU better pull this out because I put an unhealthy amount of money on them; mostly on the money line. I almost never do this kind of thing, but I still saw value in it at -230. I'm just aiming for a certain financial goal I'm pretty close to. After that, I'm hibernating till baseball.

I should have hibernated in Sept.

BYU will be a big game for me too....

I'd be lying if I didn't say I expected more out of you, but I have faith. You've been so solid for so many years, you're entitled to a slump. Keep sticking to your guns. Here's to BYU tonight.

Well that BYU game did it.
 
I am raising the white flag.  I give up on NCAAF this season.
 
Im relieved to close the door on the worst NCAAF season I have ever had, I just feel like I need to stop the bleeding and concentrate on NFL.  I have been cursed this year.
 
Sorry, Im not going to post any fade material for the remaining games because I havent done most of my research for the remaining games, and Im just going to ignore them.  I apologize to all for not providing every loser for the rest of bowl season, but this will have to do.
 
Bronco Mendenhall and Whittingham, thanks for the memories.
 
GL all.

This is very sad, but this is just what we need to do sometimes. I cannot tell you how lucky I was BYU blocked that FG at the end or I would be walking in the welfare line. I probably need to come to terms with lots of heavy recent losses and walk away till baseball. Someone needs to punch me in the face so I can do this.

The coaching has been HORRENDOUS. I gave up in my thread as well. How do you expect to win money ..........with the way games are called anymore?

Yeah - I was thinking of you during that last FG.

When your style of handicapping isnt working, you have to step back and examine it.  Mine isnt working, hasnt worked all year in NCAAF.  Im having a decent NFL season but NCAAF has been bad.

Another month of NFL and then a 3 month break to MLB.....

Glad to see you got your ML.

I think I'm in the same boat with you Van
 
I had CIN and NEV and they both lost today... since I lost both of those I was gun shy on betting anything else 2night (had I betted I wouldv'e taken UCLA and the Panthers (and of course as always they both win)
 
So instead I just decided on a nice parlay... So I put PHX/TOR over in NBA, Panthers +11, and UCLA ML...
 
So I might just sit out as well

Thanks Van, I really appreciate that. I didn't post in any of the in-game threads because I was too stressed out from the game.

I've got some on Boise State (as I'm sure you do, right?) and then I'm done. I know I can cap baseball for sure, but for some reason I let myself get caught up in everything else. Disciple. Discipline. Discipline. Maybe I should get that tattooed on my arm.

Anyway, you have always been a great asset around here so don't get down about things. You've got staying power and that says a lot. I'll be rooting for you whatever you choose to do.
