Dabo vs Kiffin

Curious what your thoughts were? Dabo spouting off today re the controversy..Not the biggest fan of him nor Kiffin frankly. UGA grad.  Understand Clemsun has the bulk of their OL intact w a good running game. However w the purported talent,and coaching,disparity...and at home at night, I would expect LSU to prevail. 

However,how long will it take the $40 million additions to jell?  Distractions,pressure?  In a similar vein, proximity, Kent St getting a ton vs Cocks looks interesting. Cocks lost two receivers for the season. Not much depth. With Sellers unpredictability, and working in a new system under Briles, I would think there could b some challenges.  Lots of pressure on Beamer after last yrs debacle. Backdoor possibly? 

Rock on. 

Early betting mkt activity shows bout even split Tix,cash LSU game. Clemsun slight edge both. Kent getting overwhelming Tix and cash.  Interesting. I miss the old Sportsinsights which would provide nos from top books. However,how accurate? On all these sites. Tool to distort retail action, opinions? My experience,on the whole, has been good. Combined w numerous other dynamics.

Kent had a very nice improvement,turnaround last year with good,new HC. QB,leading rb and receiver returning.  Carolina stud edge rusher Dylan Stewart ruled out. Numerous other injuries. Lost 10 OL to the portal. Brought in 10. Now,what r the odds they b grooving very first game under new OC w new system,schemes?  Dat 38 looks rather tasty. May hit 40 before game perhaps.  May have to bite. Thinking Beamer will let up,

 late, for obvious reasons. 

Cocks new OL coach too.  Shite....new OC, new OL coach, ten new OL . First game.  Now Kents D ain't no UGA caliber, far from, lol, but all this looks like an interesting speculation. Perhaps I'm misreading this. Won't b the first time. But,often, not too bad. 

The ACC struggles mightily as dogs vs SEC before week14

I expect at least one cover from LSU or Ole Miss.  Possibly a SEC ATS sweep.  For me I avoid these non conference early season games. 

In actuality,I think it's probably wise to avoid these early season games.  So many unknowns. Yet  possible opportunities due to recency bias.  However,this SC interests me. Gonna b very hot too ...how is that going to influence things? Beamer pull starters earlier ?  Might just play Kent out of boredom.  Realizing there is a huge talent gap but from what I've read,their new coach Carney has imparted a new attitude,optimism, ethic as such.  A spread can't take into account heart . Just one wager among many forthcoming. None r more important than another. Gonna let my purported edge play out over time in a large enough sample size.  With risk MGMT the most critical variable.

How is your decision making,impulse control in the face of uncertainty?  We all need to spend less time speculating on the dynamics of the teams,props,plays,etc... and more time developing,enhancing self awareness esp re destructive behaviors,mindsets in this betting market. Self control guided by patience and discipline . The real game is within our own head. This is where the real reward lies.

I was going to do the same > avoid too many plays early ....but I put in more trend work preseason than I ever have in the past and am finding some nuggets to swarm and hopefully benefit. Time will tell.

I am on LSU for the fact that I know Death Valley home environment in either stadium at nigh is electric for the home crowd and the speed edge goes to LSU, as well as transfer talent by a mile...... Leavitt can move the chains in many ways and Dabo will have his hands full with preventing Leavitts ability to move the pocket which he always wanted to develop with Lubnick and Lawrence because he knows how effect it is with SEC or BIG10 defensive speed disrupting your play rhythm

LSU was a top defense last year and will be again this year..... I really don't think the coaches get in the way here

GL this season 

GL with that.. Will look at returning production again. As last yr, meant nothing for Clemsun. With the highest nos of returning starters. I kinda look those out of the spotlight games too. Less potential for the omnipresent " fookery" where big dollahs r  involved. And at risk. Don't know if anybody saw Cocks vs LSU  yr....or maybe year before. But they got fked so bad...on numerous calls...Herbstreit is saying over the Natl telecast " this needs to be investigated".  Pretty strong statement,esp from him.

Well,according to CBS metrics,Clemsun ranks 31st overall and Scumbag 91st, for returning production. LSU, apparently,taking a big hit on O.  My initial gut now is there could b value with Clemsun. Recency bias, they weren't worth a damn last yr, after huge preseason expectations.  Huge sentiment swing.  I'm thinking the mkt has very low expectations  for Clemsun here.  And w dickhead being in the limelight,media so much. Appears to me the mkt has him,and the program, way up on a pedestal ,so to speak.  Frankly,I hope Clemsun beats em.  Bring that ego down.

Just read Warren Sharps analysis of both teams. Ain't no damn way I'd invest in Clemson. I'll just leave it at that. Sharp Football Analytics.
