  Happy New Year! Three of today’s 5 bowl games feature Big 10 opponents, and none of them are being shown a great deal of love by bettors. Not hard to understand of course, especially considering how Wisky first and last night Minny were pounded...

  Ack! Its been a week since the last post here, mainly because I’m doing a whole bunch of bowl prep. Lots of words to be pumped out like so much handicapping bilge. So no well thought out post here, just some quick off the cuff reaction to a bus...

  That is the title of my favorite new blog. Partially because its a pretty good blog about sports betting, like this one. And anybody that cops classic Norm McDonald lines has to be by definition pretty cool. YGIFS has a cool post up about public bett...

• A Sign There Are Too Many College Bowl Games

  Posted on Friday December 12th, 2008 at 13:12 in college football

  Coming off a thrilling 24-23 Hawkeye upset the week before both Iowa and Penn State endured understandable letdowns on Saturday. Good college teams off their first loss of the season let down because the veil of invincibility has been lifted. Penn St...

  Posted on Tuesday November 11th, 2008 at 14:49 in college football

  Texas sophomore backup center Buck Burnette was kicked off the team last week for posting a racial slur about President-elect Barack Obama on his Facebook page. I can certainly understand Mack Brown having to let the kid go. Allowing the kid to stay ...

• Javon Ringer Looks Hurt

  Posted on Thursday October 30th, 2008 at 14:56 in college football

  Should have mentioned this in the regular College Notes feature, but Michigan State’s Javon Ringer looks like he is close to a physical breakdown of some sort. In the fourth quarter he put the Spartans on his back en route to a 35-21 win over r...
