...DON'T BET THE MORTGAGE ON THE GOPHERS COMING OUT OF THE GATE!!!

A third of you did exactly that, and will be sitting on the bench until State Fair time 2010. On the other end of the spectrum, Plinius laid the points with the Irish and was handsomely rewarded with the lead.

Before I present you with this week's games, I ask one more favor. Please list your picks in the order I have them in this thread. It makes my book-keeping a lot easier. On to this week's selections:

GOPHERS -3.5 Air Force (The first true home game in 27 years)
PENN STATE -28.5 Syracuse (Another bludgeoning)
Iowa -6.5 IOWA STATE (Repeat after me: KF can't win in Ames...)
WISCONSIN -8.5 Fresno State (This game is only on one online book, wonder why it's off everywhere else)
Notre Dame -3 MICHIGAN (Suddenly this game looks a lot better)
Southern Cal -6.5 OHIO STATE ('SC hasn't been taken to the wire in an OOC game since the 06 Rose v Texas)
MICHIGAN STATE -14 Central Michigan (RCMB has this flagged as a trap game)
OREGON -12 Purdue (If you need a football fix after the Gopher game, this one is under the lights from Autzen)

Elsewhere:

Hawaii -1 WASHINGTON STATE (The Rainbow Warriors are a favorite on the mainland?! Ye gads!)
TENNESSEE -9 Ucla (Interesting game for both teams)

Deadline for this is Saturday, September 12 at 11 AM CDT. Good hunting.
 




$11 on PENN STATE -28.5
$11 on MICHIGAN +3
$11 on Southern Cal -6.5
 



Can I start a week late?

$50 on Penn State
 


I need to be bold, so I'm putting my ducks on a freshman QB at the shoe:

$132: Southern Cal (-6.5)
 




I had posted this on 9/1 last week:

$55 PENN STATE -27.5
$22 WISCONSIN -16.5
$22 OKLAHOMA STATE -4.5

I'm pretty sure that would put me at $163 entering the week, unless of course a Badger isn't welcome.

That said, if I am welcome I will take:

$66 on Syracuse +28.5
 

RB, you are correct. Somehow I missed your post last week. I have fixed the leaderboard, and you do indeed have $163.

GL and josh, you need to adjust your bets so that they are in increments of $11.
 




I'll take Michigan State -14 over CMU for $33.

See you all at the Stadium on Saturday! Let's bring it!
 


I lose in money and the alphabet - dead last! Welp, that was fun.
 


$44 on Gophers -3.5
$44 on Notre Dame -3
$44 on USC -6.5
$44 on Tennessee -9
 

$22 on Minnesota
$22 on Penn State

I want to bet on Mich - ND but then would have to root for one of 'em.

Thanks GR. I really love participating in this, so thanks for taking the time to run this little shindig.
 







I've learned my lesson. I will not make the same mistake anytime in the next 11 months. have fun y'all.
