i guess i won't get a response to this before games go off... just wondering what the deal is with LSU... only out of curiosity...

was a consensus, but then wasn't?  and you currently have it listed with only 3 cappers... assuming that part is just a typo...

so we have 4 on it and none against, yes?

I just took Michigan off my card.  Bought it back - not messing around with Big 10 the rest of the day...

Again...I'll ask, if it ain't broke; why fix it?

My only concern is that you are deviating a little too far with respect to the cappers you use. I have seen you willing to add cappers you are not familiar with and to be honest I think that is a recipe for disaster. If it ain't broke --- don't fix it!

 

Obviously, it's your show, but I'd hate to see a great thing go down the tubes for changing something that didn't need to, just so people don't feel left out.

Don't mean to pick on just you, cause it happens all the time.  But, WHY THE F*CK do people talk about how smart they are when they win, but when they lose they say "man, that game was f*cked up!" or "the ref's totally had money on Team A" or "that catch was out of bounds".  It's like they can't fathom the idea that they made a damn mistake.  As you can see, it really irks me.... Just take your medicine and try to learn HOW you capped a game wrong...  Blaming it on ref's coaches, wind, rain, etc. will not make you a better capper - it just makes you more of a whiney bitch.

A so-so week means that the consensus should crush it next week once it has time to adjust

Wendy... are you honestly gonna say Penn St was the wrong side?  i have looked over every game on my card, and watched almost every one of them live... i would bet every side the same again except Illinois, and know it is the right play... that's the truth... i had two horrible moose losses, and still went 6-5... you just seem like you want to hate...
 
have at it!  but stay tuned...

I'd have to agree with Ice4Blood.  Sounds like Ice4Blood obviously had Penn St. and Arizona.  By f*cked up, he probably meant we were on the right side but got backdoored.  Nothing about weather/refs was mentioned...

Manifesto, as always, you do excellent work.  Thanks.

Festo - great work this weekend.

Your insight helps!  There are some that may follow blindly, but they need to find a way to assimilate a lot of information and make THEIR best choice.
 You were money last year, here's to a great year!

What are you talking about Ice?   You aint going anywhere....

Take the high road - dont bother responding to mindless drivel....

Penn St was a joke, they should have won by 45...I would make the same bets on all the consensus games again....
