Now you want a bet where I lose 3 points in value! Giving you the ability to push/win money from me with a spread of Ala PK, Ala -1, Ala -1.5, and Ala -2. All of which in the article you regarded as scripture did not have as their spread! Are you kidding me?
If you want this bet there is NO push on LSU PK. Bet is LSU PK or better for me to Ala -.5 or better for you. I will let you have the -1, -1.5, -2 that you did not initially state but I wont give up PK and give you additional point to the spread.

Well let's see, in post #25 you said "the only solace I will get from being forced to watch this rematch is seeing Alabama's 1 dimensional offense be forced to attempt forward passes against LSU's defense."
If you actually watched the game, however, you would know that Alabama threw the forward pass pretty effectively against LSU, and that it was LSU's offense that set the forward pass back 40 years. They attempted a grand total of 6 passes in the second half, never threw the more than 8 yards beyond the LOS, and gained a grand total of 30 through the air. Moreover, on almost half of their 2nd half possessions they never even attempted a forward pass.
Based on these undisputable facts it would be obvious to anyone who watched the game that LSU's passing offense versus Alabama's LBers and secondary was a complete mis-match. LSU's wideouts were taken completely out of the game, and were a total non-factor. If there is a re-match, expect more of the same minus the one busted coverage that went for 34 yards right before the half.
In post #26 you said LSU being "a dog of 1 point is still laughable." Then in post #36 you said the "spread will open AT WORST pk. But I see LSU opening at -2. And Im willing to put money on that as well!" Despite your incredibly poor sentence structure, I think I was able to decipher what you were trying to say.
In post #44 I responded by saying "because you are evidently the paragon of point spreads, I assume you would welcome a wager over which team will be favored . . . right???"
Notice that no where did I ever propose a bet that Alabama would open at -2.5 or more. To the contrary it was you who who offered me a wager that LSU would open at -2, but so confident am I in my wager that I voluntarily surrendered the 2 points in value you offered me.
So now that I have taken you up on your offer, and have graciously given you considerably more favorable terms than your original offer (which was LSU -2), I think it's safe to say that you have officially reneged on the wager offer YOU proposed.
Thus, it is now plain to everyone reading this thread how disingenuous your lamentations are that you're now somehow losing 3 points in value when at no time was such an offer ever proffered to you. It is also plain for everyone to see how generous my bet offer was in light of the bet you clearly offered me. And lastly your duplicitous speak in this matter tends to lend credibility to the charges Lucan has leveled against you.
