*** NCAA Football Week 8 ***

Boom destroyed by austin and others. Truth bombs everywhere but the boom drones can't handle it.

Who cares about juice, it's only the difference between +3.5 units and -10 or so

If you honestly think you can get an entire team on the take you are nuts. You have never played sports.

How could you as an athlete just throw a game? How could you get 85 athletes to do it? It would cost more to pay them off than you would win!

I have seen more threads on point shaving this year than all past year's combined. Just because you can't pick a winner does not mean a team is on the take.

It really is amazing how childish some people on here are. Covers had turned into a playground for kids and idiots.

All of the children who have posted dumb shit in my thread please take a hike, you are no longer welcome in here.

What a joke!!!


As far as everyone else, I will post later when I have some more time to post.

boom, surprised u didnt mention tulane ending their 15 game losing streak...unbelievable winning drive in the final minute, horrible coaching decision by june jones....y the hell would u choose to kick a field goal on 4th and goal from the 2 yd line when your up by 3 pts, even if u dont convert the td, the other team has to gain roughly 65 yds to get in field goal range....tulane announcers acted like they just won the national title

It is shocking to me that there are people in this world who have not only the desire to harass others endlessly in this forum, but have the time to do it! My God, if you have the time to create fake names, then post 'round the clock, raking up 1000+ posts in a few weeks just talking shit, you need a fucking life! Excuse the cliche but go outside and enjoy life! I know you think your room in your parent's basement is cool, but holy shit, go talk to someone in person for once. Maybe you'll even get laid for once. Ok, probably not  . But seriously, I barely have time to actually post about games, how the hell do you people have time to troll these threads day and night?


Boom, keep up what your doing, these fools have know idea the value your threads bring.







GL to all

cbowles:

I'm not attacking you by any means, so don't take this the wrong way.. .. tecnically I never wore a jock strap, but I did play 4 years of college football, and was pretty damn good at it too.  I also coached for 5 years in college.  I went through my fair share of practices both as a player & coach.  You are correct in stating that we don't know what happened in practice, but to your point;  First, if their was a problem with the starter in practice, they probably wouldn't have started him to begin with.  That said, he could have said something on the sidelines?  Or.  He could have been calling his own plays & disreging what the coaches were telling him.  I have experienced both.  But, as a coach, you don't deal with that during a game, b/c the starter has practiced all week and gives you the best chance to win.  You don't set an example for 1 kid, when there are 80 other players fighting to win the game.  You contiune to call & play the game for the other kids and then set the example after the game.

Furthermore, he was unproductive b/c he was getting no time to throw the ball.  Not everything is on the QB, as there were alot of issues going on with that offense that weren't all attributed to him.

Again, I said in my post that I'm not a conspiracy guy; and trust me when I say, I don't think a low level MAC conference coach is "on the take".  But Boom is 100% correct in that, that head football coach gave up on his players.  That can't be denied.  I watched a La Tech team that was down 16 midway through the third play like their hair was on fire to try and comeback and win (which they almost did).  Conversley, Central Michigan flat gave up on the field.  It was evident.  They gave up; and when that happens, questions as to why are going to be asked.  That's all.

On a side note;  And this is just a question (conspiracy theory aside).. and this question is to anybody who reads this;

During the end of the ND/Stanford game, the official who annouced to the crowd as to whether or not the last play would be confirmed made a first statement of "There will be no penalty on Notre Dame for excessive celebration because they thought the game had ended"

Now.  My question (and in all seriousness, just asking..) haven't we seen in college football teams getting a penalty for that?  I believe in the Utah/BYU game, Utah got flagged for that?  If anybody could shed light on that, it would be interesting to hear as to why ND woudln't get penalized for that, but other teams have in the past.  Is there a "rule" that I am missing, or just missing something in general?

Good read...I am looking at BYU as well but I do wonder if Rees could light up the Cougars if he plays over Golsten. They were lit up by Oregon St! I agree that 14.5 is a lot but how does BYU score on Notre Dame?

I am a Bama guy and you have thrown out your props all year for the Tide. My question is besides LSU (and I wonder how they will score) who in the heck beats Bama until the BCSNCG? I think Oregon's offense could score a few points maybe but who else is Bama gonna play that is good enough to beat them? The thing with Bama is that they never get too high or too low. They had some close calls in 2009 with UT and Auburn, both of which weren't very good but since the beginning of 2011 they have been crushing teams.

 

 

Htrain,

 

Again, let me be as clear as I can, I’m not a conspiracy guy.  Just want that to be know.  However, to your point; You don’t have to have 85 players “throw a game”.  All you need is 1 guy, the head football coach.  And again, I have to reiterate it; I’m not a guy that thinks it goes on, but I’m not going to be naive either.  If you don’t think with all the money boosters have, with all the “big wigs” that follow “their” programs and with all the shady f*ckers surrounding programs, don’t think for one second it is not at least possible.

 

Just think about it;  Just as an example we will use the Tennessee/Miss St game.  You don’t think it is at all possible (completely out of the question) that a HUGE booster, or some slap dick guy with a shit ton of money can’t approach Dan Mullen the night before the game (at a booster function, which all the teams have) and say; “Good Luck Coach.  Go get those VOls.  Hopefully we can get’em by 10.  That would make us all a bit happier.  Obviously we want a big win tomorrow, but man, winning by 10 would be great”   Or.  If a guy approached somebody like Les Miles and said: “Hey coach, have a good game tomorrow, Akron should be a cake walk, I think beating them by 32 should be a breeze…” 

 

Seriously.  Just think about that.  And again, I stress:  I don’t think it probably happens.  But to completely think that  it is 100% out of the realm of possibilities is being naive.  Especially since we have seen documentaries on teams like SMU.  Hell Barry Switzer (in the film on Marcus Dupree) flat out said he bought the kid & his mother A HOUSE!   Or how about that kid who was around the Miami FL program & all that shady shit.  There are so many people with a HIGH influence on these coaches.  These coaches have to keep a small group of people happy in order to save their jobs..  and in those small groups, you don’t know who they are, but I can tell you one thing; they have A LOT Of money and have A LOT in the say of if the head coach stays or goes.  Trust me on that.

 

How old are you people? Boom no need to get so riled up with internet tough guys. Be the bigger man and just ignore it. Arguing over picks. Just ridiculous. The more you feed into it the more they like it. Internet tough guys are the best.hhahaha

Boom,

I've been on and off Wagerline for a few years now. I respect your intel and look forward to your week in review. I've been gambling since I was 15 and make over a 100 plays a week (Mainly Totals)...So, as I did then and now I need all the help I can get.

Please add me as your friend..

Thanks in Advance

rlp I played as well. And regarding the quarterback situation it could be many things. That Spohomore could have been performing well in practice and it could have been a knee jerk reaction by the coach. Or it could have been to spark the team. You dont have coaches get to that level who give up I just will never believe it but I respect everyones opinion. Also consider this. Out of what 70 games a weekend one "looks" like its fixed ? Are we sure people arent just saying that is the single game that appears closest to it ? The game is played emotionally by humans anything is possible. These days no matter who was trying to fix it, it would get out. Just my opinion

And regarding ND the penalty wouldnt have mattered there was a change of possession it would have been a post possession penalty

was expecting -14 on Clemson over VT....good lord is VT really only 4.5 pts worse than the tigers on neutral field

GL this week man

Cbowles - I said they could lose possibly 2 games. I didnt say they would lose 2 games

Retain -

raffchd - your right SMU and June Jones

Dugie -

Yacker - Bama is terrific... But i think anyone of these teams can be beat. Oregon can do it... Bama prolly wins 7 out of 10 with them, but it only takes one. Bama is way better then LSU. BUT They do have to go there at NIGHT which is a big task no matter who you are.

LT -

Nos - Clemson cant play defense.. I still think Clemson covers

Bigdaddy - If you bet over 100 times a week... you dont need gambling advice, you need help

Go GO....always good to see you

let me tell you something austin.

You came into my thread talking shit. I defended myself and you got pissed because I did. I guess you thought it was ok for you to talk shit but it wasnt for me

IF you dont like me that's fine. Don't post in my threads. I never had a problem with you before until this. If you thought I talked down to you then I apologize, that was never the intentions.

But im about to make a guarantee to you.

1) If you dont like what I say, fine. We will argue and debate all night.... I like doing that. I like to debate.

2) But you crossed the line. And dont say you didnt because what you said was completely out of line.

3) If you ever cross that line again... I will happily meet you at the game and stomp a fucking mud hole in your ass that you will never forget....You can act like a big bad ass all you want. Im not. I m just defending what you said about my wife. But when you cross a line like that, be prepared. I would never disrespect you or anyone on here the way you did me.EVER.

RLP ..... You are 1000% right on.

I couldn't have said it any better


The C. Michigan just had a very bad feel to it. Very bad feeling.It was really hard to understand what I was seeing. To be honest, I dont think I have ever seen anything like that.


I know a few on here disagree with me on the miss st / ut game... but the truth is, it was the wrong call. No way around it. It was a bad beat. As was the G.T / Clemson game2 weeks ago.... I said it was a bad beat for g.t backers.. but the call in the clemson game you will see a hell of alot more then what dan mullen did Saturday night.

I say it all the time College football is happy when N.D is good.... no matter how they make " IT " happen.... Anyone with eyes could see that was the wrong call on the field and yet they reviewed it and STILL got it wrong.



RLP

I tried for a long time to pick holes in Bama and they are just that good you cant. Mississippi State is at home no way they loose that. LSu will be crazy down there but I think they thump LSU. I'd be curious to see what games as it must be those two.. The best thing is they will decide it on th efield but its fun to talk about. I just cannot see this team losing to anyone I dont even think we have seen them pushed

We will agree to disagree then. I will also say that I knew I crossed the line, yup I admit it.

Would I really ever go after someone's wife? No, never.

It's called shock value. It got your attention. You see me saying something about your family is no worse than you calling me a kid and telling me to run along you fucking idiot.

Now I know you will argue this till the cows come home, that what I said is way worse, etc. I made my point. You are a condescending prick, who thinks you know it all. And if no one has your point of view, then we all must be fucking idiots.

As for your guarantee....

You make the statement of me trying to act like a bad ass and that you are not. Then why would you send me a message saying "dont try to act like some kind of tough guy with that little comment you made about the clemson usc game"

I'm not trying to be a badass....I'm simply saying that you calling other people fucking idiots is talking down to people. It's condesceding. And while what I said was out of line, so were you.
That is my point. I had to cross the line, which I know was 100% out of line, but I had to do it to get your attention and to get my point across. It's sad that I had to do that for you to realize this.

Back to the guarantee....

I actually respect the fact that you said you would stomp a mudhole in my ass. It proves that you do have a backbone, as a man should stand up for his family, and that you are southern lol

And I could rebuttle by saying oh no i'd kick your ass, blah blah and that we would go back and forth endlessly wasting everyones fucking time.

So in conclusion, where I wanna go is admitting that I was wrong, and you admitting that you do talk down to people if their thinking doesn't line up with yours.

I'll even never come back to your thread if you so wish. Just understand that you're not 100% right in this situation, and that it's not ok to talk down to people, just like it's not ok for how I acted.

Back to college football

What the problem is you guys see only when I speak....

You only see when I make a rebuttal.

I'm not a prick! I'm not a know it all....I always treat everyone with respect. Go back and look at every situation that you thought I was being a prick and you will see that the other person will make a rude comment, attack or  just absolutely make up a lie. Go find a situation where I just opted to blast someone for there opinion.... you wont find it the truth is I respect people and there opinions.


Do I think everyone should agree with my thoughts? Absolutely not. Take a few guys in this thread..... cbowles and RLP or Train or dugie or Arid. We disagree all the time!! But do we or I ever make rude comments towards them? Do they make them towards me? The answer is no....not one time have I or they ever disrespected the other one. NOT ONE TIME!

You have to understand austin, when I make a statement around here everyone will dissect everything I say. Take this how you want to, but the fact is I do get a lot of traffic in my threads... I do get a lot of views...and I am respected in this forum. You said im very average....that's your opinion, but the truth is I have been really successful at this for a long time and my years here on covers here will prove that. I want to share my thoughts on football, picks and everything about the sport in general. Why? Because I do feel like I have alot to offer to this forum.

 I respect everyone's opinion. If I dis agree with something in your thread I will approach it the right way. I wont come in and say " hey guys, boom never thinks he is wrong....he did pick Wisconsin to win the N.C game"    

the LSU game is gonna be a HUGE test... ask Jimmy, Im sure he is gonna tell you the same thing. as for another loss... anything Could happen...the sec championship could happen. anything could happen. Yes Alabama is the best team in the nation, but not to the point of being unbeatable.

Good example austin......take this cat here yokoo... he makes about 50 to 100 alias a week just to devote to my thread. That would actually take alot of time  everything is under the radar around here The truth is he is secretly in love with me... and he is mad cause his mom makes him take down the I love Boom posters..... ever seen that movie Ace Ventura pet detective??? Ray Finkle????^^^^^^^This guy^^^^^^

Boom,

I think the big worry for me with Bama is protecting the QB. If a team could play ahead of Bama and make them throw it more I think they could exploit a bit of a weakness at RT as far as pass protection.
