Too funny amigo!  Get your asss here to Puerto Vallarta,Mx sometime and it is on my dime. Just let me know when.

If you remember my thread from across the street you know I always make a party wherever I go.

Fricking Louisville destroyed there chances tonight and I took a good beating from it, but will recover compliments to BYU, Memphis and the games I have scheduled for tomorrow.

Have a good night and see ya at the pay window tomorrow!

BA, those lines were available this week on 5D College Props.  Take a look. ..... Va Tech and others still up this morning.  Only one down now is BYU / Boise State since BYU played last night.
Also, several other upcoming games on 5D College Props.  I took Clemson this week for vs. Florida State as well.

  And yes, sounds waaay too d@mn familiar.  middle class - check.... 1 income for a few yrs; wife home with the little ones now.  Took a job (and a pay cut) where we get to live in one place.    Previous employer moved all the time but compensated nicely (also took us to Vegas which was fun). Such is life - sometime have to make these choices.  Son of a football coach - check.  I've alluded to that a few times on here.  Great memories there.  Hard to believe it's already been 3 years this fall since my old man passed away.
Very similar routine for betting each week; by Thurs- Fri of the week before I know (roughly) what the next week's lines would be (in this case week 8) and develop a list of leans.  Also check masseyrating predictions for the week ahead to have an FCS baseline / see how much things move based on the current week outcomes.  Basically done by Tuesday with Totals wrapped up by then.  May be a few dogs that I purposely wait on for line movement then hit Friday or Saturday am.  Sunday - update wagering ($) log - know where I'm at / self evaluation for ATS, Totals, Units, etc. and get ready for openers.  Agree that most of my own first instincts are best / refuse to watch games with almost all other "college football fans" (co-workers, friends, etc.  ..... cover.com too  (most of it anyway) just seem to taint my own thoughts).

Great stuff as always BA.  Thanks for all your hard work on here.

First glance at the games for week #8 not to much stood out to me, possibly Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Utah and West Virginia.  I generally start to go over the games on Saturday while watching the Saturday games but today I got to frustrated with the play of Clemson and Houston so I said to hell with it. Not sure what happened to the defense of Houston these past two weeks but it has totally disappeared, and how to you account for Clemson being at home, homecoming at that, and then turning the ball over 5 times, dropping numerous passes, and very clearly did not have the intensity I would have expected from them. It mind fukks me as they have so much to play for so focus should not be a problem.

that's why I seldom just play a good team > hoping they play good yet another week....unless it's week 1-3 or so.....or maybe weeks 10-12 or so........UNLESS off a 'poor' performance...like Ohio State maybe this week....or Louisville
  *looking for an edge....works MUCH better for me......NO edge?....pass pretty much.....I haven't even played W Michigan yet don't think.....might this week............

Willie Fritz with a 3-3 record (and 4-1 ATS) going to Tulane, installing his specialized offense and having them competent is the most under the radar coaching job this year IMO.
