ESPN Streak For The Cash Group

[SmoothPancakes]

Going against the Thunder with the Spurs isn't a good idea. There are two guarantees in that game: #1 Thunder are going to outrebound them. #2 Thunder is going to outshoot them from the field.

Only way the Spurs beat them is if they have another ghost of Tim Duncan game from Timmy. Anything else, and they are done for.

My pick is going Kansas with the W over Missouri. Kansas is going to bitchslap them. Missouri is soft.

Well, I live by the saying, go big or go home. :D I'm 2-0 today against the 90%+ sheep, picking up Ws from Detroit and Denver. I'm only on W3 due to Kentucky's violations of South Carolina, so I'm not risking a ton. If anything, I want the chance for a 3-0 day against the 90%+ sheep. I'm willing to take the chance. Spurs it is. Plus it already locked, so even if I wanted to change, I can't. :D

[morsdraconis]

I apparently don't know fuck all about anything so don't pay attention to me at all (Spurs bitchslapped Thunder and Mizzu pulled off upset of Kansas).

[SmoothPancakes]

:D :D :D What a hell of a Saturday. Detroit, Denver, Spurs. 3-0 against the 90%+ sheep. Talk about a slaughter. And a complete dismantling of 95%+ of the streaks on the leaderboard. Throw in Kentucky's violations of South Carolina at 6pm, and I turned that around from a L2 to a W4.

Even better, snoop was still at W6 and had picked the Thunder, so he lost and my TGT leading W7 safely remains the leading streak, active or non-active.

[SmoothPancakes]

I apparently don't know fuck all about anything so don't pay attention to me at all (Spurs bitchslapped Thunder and Mizzu pulled off upset of Kansas).

Well, I had a feeling Mizzou-Kansas was going to be a great game, and it really could have ended either way. Kansas could have still won it, so it wasn't a bad pick going with the Jayhawks.

[JBHuskers]

I dunno if it was an upset ... Missouri was #4 at home.

[JeffHCross]

I dunno if it was an upset ... Missouri was #4 at home.One hell of a comeback though.

[SmoothPancakes]

One hell of a comeback though.

That it was. A great game to watch.

[SmoothPancakes]

Hmm, looks like me and old Rockettman are the only two in the group not picking the Super Bowl. :D

Besides being on a W4 (and what it took for me to get that W4) and me not being about to risk it on such a massive toss up like the Super Bowl, I intentionally chose a Monday matchup after the Streakmaster earlier today made an announcement and said "Streakers - in the game's now 1260 consecutive days we've only had one day where only one matchup was posted (11/24/08)." and personally said the only reason there was one pick today, was because he was trying to set a new record for the % of pickers on one matchup in SFTC history, higher than that Packers-Saints matchup in 2008. Because of him trying to stroke his ego, and causing me to not be able to pick any of the great soccer matches or college basketball games that were going on during the first half the day, screw him, he wasn't getting my help for his masturbatory % record.

[JeffHCross]

Not that I disagree with your decision, but if you step back, you have to say "man, the things we chose to care/get pissed about". Lol.

[SmoothPancakes]

Not that I disagree with your decision, but if you step back, you have to say "man, the things we chose to care/get pissed about". Lol.

:D You do have a point there. We all do choose some odds things at times.

For me, it's more care about than get pissed. While it probably sounds like I was pissed based on how I worded that, I'm just shaking my head at the whole thing more than anything else. It's just such a stupid decision. 2 or 3 great soccer matches today, a couple great college basketball games, and then the obvious LOADS of in-game Super Bowl props, which are getting skipped entirely this year solely so ESPN can try to drive people to their "Super Pick'em" game, all entire skipped and chances lost for today. All the other sports were done hours before the Super Bowl ever started, so they still could have tried to get their "% of picks record" that they want so badly.

Yeah, I'm jumping on the Spurs too. They're a really good team, and they have the W/D prop. Despite their lack of success in the past at Anfield, gotta go with the Spurs in the end. I'm tempted to jump on the Turkish Super League match at 1pm, as I'd be able to hit both soccer props before going into the night games, but I just don't know much at all about the Turkish squads, so I'm staying away from that one.

[SmoothPancakes]

Alright, talked myself into taking a chance on Karabukspor to win. Hopefully, with a 1-0 lead so far 22 minutes in, they can keep it going and get me to W5 going into the Tottenham Hotspur-Liverpool match.

Looking good so far for Karabukspor. Up 2-0 in the 61st minute. Still a lot of soccer left to played, but feeling good about that pick so far.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yes! Karabukspor holds on to win 2-1. Up to W5, going for W6 with Tottenham Hotspur.

:nod: Thanks to Tottenham hanging on for the draw, up to W6. And at that, I think I'm stopping for the night. I do not like ANY of these evening matchups, at least not enough to risk a W6 on them.

[SmoothPancakes]

Alright, so much for that plan. I think I managed to talk myself into taking the Baylor women by 25+ over Oklahoma.

Edit - Actually, make that the Duke women by 15+ at 7pm, and the Baylor women by 25+ at 9pm.

[SmoothPancakes]

Finally got back to W7, and then made a return to W8 since my first week of playing back in January, but it was NOT easy. Karabukspor win, Tottenham Hotspur draw, Duke women 15 or more, and Baylor women 25 or more got me 4-0 on the day, and got me back to W8. The Baylor women almost fucked me. They were up 38 at one point, pulled all the starters, and the scrubs almost fucked it all up. It ended up dropping down to 26 points with 10 seconds left, ended at 27 point margin after a free throw. Thankfully, one of the Oklahoma players just dribbled out the last couple seconds instead of trying to get a garbage basket.

[SmoothPancakes]

Alright, like a dumbass, I'm going to risk my W8 on Stade Rennes in French Cup soccer.

Well, it's promising looking at the group, that everyone except :sf: Rockettman and Mors are picking Rennes, so that makes me feel a little better about risking my W8 on it, knowing I'm not alone on my pick.

[JBHuskers]

2-0 at 61' too. (hopefully I jinxed you ;))

[SmoothPancakes]

2-0 at 61' too. (hopefully I jinxed you ;))

You son of a bitch. :fp: It was 3-0 at 68'. Then Evian gets a penalty and another goal within minutes of each other to make it 3-2 at 73'.

[JBHuskers]

:nod:

[JBHuskers]

I'll gladly take an L2 to see you lose your W8.

[SmoothPancakes]

Too late! Stade Rennes holds on to win 3-2. W9 for Smooth Pancakes. With that, I am done for the day, and I mean it this time. :D After Baylor almost screwed me last night (the one and only time in my life I have not wanted to be screwed by a bunch of chicks), I am not taking any chances the rest of today. Waiting until the soccer matches on the schedule for tomorrow.

[SmoothPancakes]

Finally made it to W10. After two days of not picking, as I couldn't talk myself into actually picking, I finally made it to W10 with a 1-1 draw between Alemannia Aachen and Energie Cottbus today.

Really, I should be W14 right now, as I was going to pick Zambia over Ghana and Cincinnati over St. John's on Wednesday, and Siena over Napoli and Wisconsin over Minnesota yesterday, but could never get myself to actually pull the trigger and make the picks. I actually had picked Siena at 2am ET Thursday morning, but then literally 5 minutes before the match locked, I backed out after seeing the lineups and seeing some comments in the discussion boards on ESPN about Siena's lineup being a mess, a patch job, and not being their top lineup, etc. Still kicking myself in the ass about backing out of Siena like that.

But, thanks to Alemannia Aachen, at least finally got into double digits. Now if only I had remembered to put a pick on Vfl Wolfsburg before it locked. :fp: I had been planning on picking Wolfsburg since last night, and like a dumbass, I realized that I had not yet actually picked them after the first soccer match unlocked, but failed to realize that until 2:31, 1 minute too late to make the pick. :fp:

[JBHuskers]

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

[SmoothPancakes]

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

Yep. If I have less than a W5, I pick shit left and right, just look at me picking the Detroit Titans, Denver Pioneers and the San Antonio Spurs last Saturday, all with less than 10% of people picking those teams. I get above a W5, and I start second guessing shit and have to practically force myself to make some picks. I just hate looking back and seeing what could have been had I listened to myself and made those picks. But, I'm just glad to finally get the W10. I would have been pissed at myself if I missed and lost at W9 after getting so close to double digits.

[SmoothPancakes]

And so long W10. Got boned by Wright State tonight. UW-Green Bay is 0-11 on the road for the entire season, and of course, the one night they are a SFTC pick, they win on the road. :fp:

But, oh well, I'm sort of glad now. Now that I no longer have the pressure of a W9 or W10 streak on me, instead of only making one or two picks a day, I can now go for a Pick 6 or Pick 7 tomorrow, starting with Liverpool-Man U at 7:45, Butler-Cleveland State at 11, UConn-Syracuse at 1, either New Mexico State-Utah State at 3 followed by Wichita State-Creighton at 5 and then Alabama-LSU at 7, or Maryland-Duke at 4 followed by Ohio State-Michigan State at 6, and then wrap up the night with Kentucky-Vanderbilt at 9pm.

[psusnoop]

At two with the Mavs tonight. Gotta get this thing rolling again.

[SmoothPancakes]

I've broken even so far today. Got on a W1 with Man U, back to L1 with Cleveland State, W1 with New Mexico State and back to L1 with Creighton. Hitting up Kentucky by DD for the last pick of the night to get back to W1 going into 8:30am soccer tomorrow morning. Even breaking even today, 19-5 for the month of February so far, so still doing great for the month.

[SmoothPancakes]

And half our entire group is in the process of getting boned by Braga in UEFA Europa League soccer. Me, JB, snoop, :sf: and Tumbleweed all picking Braga to start the day. So much for my W4 I built up yesterday alone.

[SmoothPancakes]

And SM fucks up again. :D Thank you SM for my W5.

Oh hell, soccer and college basketball are about the only things I pick. 14-4 in soccer for February, 13-4 in college basketball, then it plummets off to 2-0 in women's college basketball, 1-3 in the NBA, and 1-0 for the groundhog. :D

I refuse to touch NHL as that shit is essentially a toss up. All it takes is a goalie to have a bad night on that one night of the week and you're screwed. Same thing with golf. Way too many variables. Winds, weather conditions, did the guy get a full night's sleep or was he up all night banging a waitress? :P Does he have a day where he hits every shot perfectly, or a day where he just shanks shots and melts down and collapses like Rory at the Masters?

So that just leaves soccer and college basketball. And soccer, I'll go with anything. EPL, Turkish league, Spanish, French, German Bundesliga, Egyptian, Greek, UEFA Champions, MLS. I'll pick it all.

They did have one or two days of Egyptian earlier this month (or was it at the end of January?) until that soccer riot broke out and they stopped all Egyptian league matches.

Well, yeah, it's been pretty much all the top leagues. About the only thing I've seen, if you were to even try to want to call it that, was a couple matches here and there in Bundesliga 2.

I guess if you take "D League" to mean "any league that is not the top tier", I understand. I took it as "4th tier and lower". I believe England has 6 tiers, which is why I said npower League 2 (the 4th tier). Obviously, Bundesliga 2 is the 2nd tier of German football.

Either way, as you know Smooth, playing SftC, you have to play some soccer or golf (which I won't do anymore) in order to get some action in the morning. If you sit around waiting for 7 PM games, you're missing out.

Yeah, that was the other way I was looking at it, along with your way. There are some leagues on SFTC that aren't the top tier leagues, but yeah, I haven't seen any actual "D League" soccer matchups.

Yep, I know that very well. I live for the soccer matchups in the morning and early day. Just today, I actually made my first ever golf pick (got green picking Levin) and was going to pick Atletico Madrid at 1pm, only to have the damn thing lock literally right as I was trying to click to pick Madrid. Missed Madrid by seconds. :fp: Now going to pick the 3pm soccer match, leading into tonight's games.

That's the way I do it every day. Hit up as many of the soccer matches as I can during the day, and then try to get at least 2, if not 3 if it's possible, of the college basketball and NBA props during the evening. Been working pretty good so far, sitting at 33-11 for February. And half of those 11 losses are just from taking random picks that I normally never would have picked. But when I have anything less than a W5, I'll start taking some riskier picks on things like what the first shot of the half will be, 3-pointers in the last 2 minutes of a quarter, etc.

[steelerfan]

Yeah, I was able to jump on Atletico Madrid, which was a no-brainer with Lazio having 7 players injured. Took Man City in the current match. I'm a little nervous with them needing a win. Porto is consistently the top Portuguese side.

And of course, after I'm just seconds late of getting the pick in before it locked, Madrid wins 3-1. :fp: I was going to go with Man City, and even had them picked since 1pm, but I switched to Porto 3 minutes before it locked. Hopefully it was a good switch. We'll see in due time.

That was definitely not an easy one. An own goal and another in the 83rd minute. Everyone who picked Man City is lucky that either Porto did not get another goal in the first half (when they were close a couple times) or that they got that own goal, as otherwise, it's a Porto win or a draw.

Actually, the own goal was highly pressured and was initially awarded to a City player. It wasn't complete luck, and the better side won.

That said, I was nervous going in that City had to win.

Well, I'll have to go by what you say, as this game wasn't on TV, at least not here in Ohio.

Yeah, that was part of my pick. Porto is a good team, extremely tough at home, and they had the W/D option. So that gave me a good bit of confidence in them. If Porto had made it 2-0 in the first half, it would have been over, because I knew there was no way Man City was going to score 3 or more goals today.

[steelerfan]

Without some luck, you don't get an own goal to go your way. But City created the opportunity that caused it.

You can see it here.

Even worse is I'm currently on track to get red, as Nevada only has 6 3-pointers and Iona is currently winning by 7. So not only will I miss the 6pm games, but I may potentially be sitting on red until Ohio State-Michigan at 9pm.

Meh they played out of their minds today and have a tendency to play to the level of competition. IMHO they turn the ball over far too much (play out of control / too fast) and normally do not rebound very well.

Canaan can play for anyone but when he is off he is OFF and the team really struggles to generate any offense if/when he is cold.

LOL cannot lie I have NEVER been a fan of my alma's team. They had a bunch of THUGS there during my time and I never really forgave the athletic dept./town for the crap they let them get away with.

The most heinous example included the kidnapping and gang raping of a young woman/student who ended up in the insane asylum. Punishment? Probation/charges dropped if they didn't commit another sexual offense in Kentucky for 2 years(all were "graduated" and going overseas to play ball by the time said punishment was layed down).

Even ventured into women's college basketball for two games earlier this month, picking the Duke women to beat North Carolina by 15+ (they won by 40) and followed that up immediately by picking the Baylor women to beat Oklahoma by 25+ (they won by 26). I went Kentucky men over South Carolina by 15+ back on the 4th and a couple others. It's worked out pretty well for me so far. I have 3 or 4 losses when picking DD or 15+ props, but I have quite a few wins picking those as well.

As for this afternoon, hell with it, even though it would mean you get W11 and my W10 becoming not as great anymore, I gotta go with the pick that I feel is safest and say Michigan State.

[CLW]

11-0-0. Unfortunately, I don't like any of the rest of the options today. If I was going to pick I'd pick :Duke: +15 over :BC: Going to need 1.6 picks per day the rest of the month to get to the magic 27.

[SmoothPancakes]

Congrats man, that's a hell of a run you got going on. Yeah, that's what I'm taking, :Duke: is my last pick of the night.

Good job, bro.

You understand that you have to have 27 (at least) AND more than anyone else, right?

Yeah going out on a limb with a soccer pick this afternoon Benfica over Guimaraes but I gotta start taking some picks I normally wouldn't make. Assuming I get to 12 I'll probably go with :Baylor: over :Texas: not sure I'll make a pick prior to that to hopefully get to 13-0-0 at the end of the day.

Not looking good for Benfica to win. They trail, 1-0, at the half.

[SmoothPancakes]

So glad I avoided picking Benfica. I went with Bursaspor in Turkish soccer at 1pm for the W6 and then didn't get a chance to pick the Benfica match. Good thing as Benfica would have been my pick.

After MVSU let me down, I was able to end the night in the green thanks to Baylor. Looking to get back to back greens in soccer today. I'm concerned about the 2:45 Chelsea-Napoli match. Everything points to Napoli W/D being the very smart pick in that one, especially based on recent form and it being at Napoli. But something is making me feel like this is going to be a SFTC classic. You choose the pick that absolutely should be guaranteed green and it impossibly bones you.

[JBHuskers]

Decided to take a chance and went with the Russians. Well it isn't much of a chance since I'm at W1.

Damn I need a W, Real Madrid stunk it up big time losing 1-0 to those Russians.

Hell of a job by those Russians. I did not see that match ending in a 1-1 draw. Now to watch Napoli bend over Chelsea. And unless people from the Real Madrid match start picking Napoli, it's going to be a sheep slaughter, with 75-80% still picking Chelsea (based on name I guess).

It was Napoli as the smart pick all the way. Napoli hasn't lost a match at home since something like forever. Chelsea's form lately has been a mess and they have been atrocious on the road. Then SM, for whatever reason, gave Napoli the W/D when it should have been Chelsea who was given the draw prop.

Well, overall, you're the leading knowledge-base of soccer picks. For SFTC, we all sort of suck at picking soccer. :D I just think I got really lucky at the beginning of the month with soccer picks.

As for SFTC, thank you Kansas State! I took AOR for Kansas State-Missouri, and Kansas State's winning 70-62 right now with 4 minutes left to play. I knew Missouri had no chance of winning by 15+.

[SmoothPancakes]

The SFTC pick upset tour is rolling right now. Got started off rocky with a 1 point loss by Dayton, but have been unstoppable since then, with New Mexico beating UNLV, Vermont beating Stony Brook, Bethune-Cookman winning their prop against Norfolk State and Florida State beating Duke. Highest percentage of all of those picks, 26.6%, the rest all down in the teens and single digits. Next up on the SFTC upset tour, Colorado over Arizona.

Yeah, I've been hit or miss with it, but actually been a bit more hit lately. Was 6-2 in golf last month, so decided to take the chance. Next up for me is women's swimming. I'm starting to doubt my pick, but Rebecca Soni swam 2:21:40 in heats and a world record 2:20:00 in the semis. I can't see her going slower than 2:21:49, but with SFTC, that would probably happen.

[JBHuskers]

That's why I couldn't keep up with MLB Beat The Streak....no phone app and just keep forgetting. Plus I was a little turned off by the double dip thing. Kinda ruined it for me...

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, I don't think I've played Beat the Streak since mid-April. Like you, I keep forgetting. I have ESPN usually always open in a tab, so I remember about SFTC. Otherwise, I doubt I'd still be playing that because I'd forget.

Damnit, I missed all the good stuff today. Had to pull an almost 24 straight hours since Friday afternoon, so by the time I got home from work this morning and got settled down by around 11am, it was only a couple minutes before I was out like a light. I always go for the mid-majors on SFTC when I can over the major teams. Also much funner games to pick and watch/follow.

Since I missed every game between 10am soccer and the 8pm basketball games, I'm gonna ride the first half Kansas-Texas prop and then New Mexico State-Utah State to end the day with.

[CLW]

and Valpo BLOWS a 15 point lead in the 2nd half to end my streak. this shizzle is crazy and you probably have better odds of winning the lottery than winning 27 straight of these.

[SmoothPancakes]

:D I have seen so many things over the past year of playing. The worst has been soccer, having a red or green decided by someone scoring a goal during the 90th minute or in stoppage time. Talk about infuriating to get a red because of some asshole scoring a goal in stoppage time.

yeah its crazy but its all for fun as i know there is virtually 0% chance of me winning 100K with this. i watched an "old" video from the 1st guy who won like $1M and apparently his last green was a Steelers game where they were down 13-3 with 7 minutes left and came back to win thanks to tony romo et al.

its like being struck by lightning or cursed b/c apparently 3 or 4 people got up to the last pick and lost. if that were to happen to me i cannot imagine how many f bombs i'd be dropping during the game on t.v. :nod:

Yeah, I've just settled for Norfolk State-Hampton, just can't decide which way to go on that. After that, if I can get my pick in, I'll probably go Villanova over Rutgers, and if I miss the lock time for that, I'll go with the second half West Virginia-Kansas State prop.

[SmoothPancakes]

Well, looks like Villanova in 5 minutes is a no go. Norfolk State leads by 1 point with 1:13 left to play, which means this final 1:13 will take at least 10 minutes to play. :fp:

I don't think his style fits football or basketball. Soccer I'm sure is fine though because scoring is such a big deal in that game compared to football and basketball.

My "general" theory re: soccer is England/English teams are "generally" over hyped. Sure the EPL is a great league but people (mostly Brits) tend to think its the ONLY professional league out there. It is NOT as the Germans are showing the English crowd today.

We're talking about a Champions League Finalist last year against an Arsenal club that could miss out on Europe next year. I doubt many Brits are shocked to see the Gunners lose today.

Probably going to regret it but I'm taking the 1.5 goals for AC Milan @ home against Barcelona.

Yeah, same here. Freakin' golf got rained out and I didn't realize until just now. :(

I thought it was snow'd out in Arizona but maybe I misheard. Doing laundry and now got soccer on the tube.

Wow. That may be the case. I just assumed it was rained out.

Green us all! Italians layin' some smack down on some roody pooh Spanish asses. :nod:

Wow. Oklahoma by double digits over Texas Tech is SUCH a lock. People are nuts to go anywhere else on that one.

Meh spread is -9.5. Team Rankings thinks :Texas_Tech: has a 51% chance to cover and numberfire thinks there is a 60% chance of a Red Raider cover.

I almost went with Messi scoring the first goal, but I pulled a U-turn and went with Milan. Next up Memphis @ Toronto.

Well you would have green'd that one too b/c it was Messi or noone. 0-0 = green.

Ahhh.

I scored a green on Syracuse by 15+. Going with Cavaliers more 3rd quarter points than the Hornets, then still trying to choose between Gonzaga by 15+ over Santa Clara or Washington free throws more than Arizona's winning margin.

[CLW]

after a hot start to the day i've gone cold on a -2 streak. :smh:

[SmoothPancakes]

Son of a bitch. I got sidetracked and completely forgot about the 11pm games until just now. :fp:

[morsdraconis]

Yeah. I totally forgot about all of it until just now. Damn PS4 announcement!

[morsdraconis]

2W streak "on the line" with a pick of Dynamo Kiev scoring a goal in the 2nd.

[morsdraconis]

Uggh, Dynamo Kiev missed a WIDE OPEN 2' away header to tie it. GAH!

[morsdraconis]

SO close to another score by Kiev... :(

[morsdraconis]

Well, that was apparently a bad pick unless Kiev pulls something out of their asses in the extra time. :(

[SmoothPancakes]

Back in the green thanks to Bordeaux.

Now I'm trying to choose between Temple and La Salle. I'm sort of scared off of Temple as their last 5 games (3 wins, 2 losses) have all been decided by a single point, and they've been sort of all over the place lately in regards to wins and losses. La Salle is on a 4 game winning streak, but they've only beaten one team with a winning record in that streak. They did however beat Butler (#9 at the time) and VCU (#19 at the time) in back to back games, and all three of their conference losses have been by 9 points or less.

I think I'm gonna roll with La Salle. I've sort of talked myself into them being the more logical pick while typing this out.

[CLW]

bjrod needs to start making some picks so he can go 27-0 and get that 100K 6-0 :nod:

[SmoothPancakes]

Well, La Salle let me down tonight. Duke by 8+ at halftime at least got me back in the green. I'm gonna go against the grain on my last pick of the night. Despite winning by only one point back on January 16th, I'm gonna pick Saint Mary's to win by double digits at home against BYU tonight.

[bjrod9]

My next pick I am doubting right now. We will see how it goes. Come on Spurs tomorrow night!

[CLW]

What's better than your team winning a conference road game by 32? Them winning by 32 and you getting 2 SFTC greens. :nod:

[SmoothPancakes]

Trying to decide between Saint Louis-Butler or North Dakota State-Akron at 7pm. Any suggestions?

[bjrod9]

Butler at home. North dakota state should make a few threes vs Akron.

[morsdraconis]

I went with Toronto over NYC at Toronto. They've been on a tear since acquiring Rudy ***.

[SmoothPancakes]

Thanks. I ended up rolling with Butler. Hopefully they don't let me down tonight.

[morsdraconis]

Win streak back to 2 with the Toronto win at home. Time to gamble on Golden State coming to play against San Antonio.

[CLW]

damn soccer prop / Arsenal. Knew I should pass but wanted to get the W5 so I could get :Georgia: women's :Michigan: and :NC_State: for a W8 to start the month out :smh:

[JBHuskers]

Nice 9-3 start to the month for me included a W6. Seattle of the MLS killed both mine and :sf:'s streaks.

[CLW]

thinking about sitting out today completely. these props are all too close or involve sports i know nothing about so i think i'll pick up Wed after failing to go to sleep due to SimCity; Tomb Raider; and The Show

Yeah, I'm disappointed with the props today. Not a single mid-major game the entire evening. Indiana-Ohio State is about the only pick I would be interested in making. Plus, I'm not really going to be on Chrome at all the rest of today anyways. Once UPS drops off SimCity and I get it installed, I am literally going to be spending the entire rest of the time I'm awake today doing nothing but playing SimCity (while maybe glancing at whatever is on the TV from time to time).

[CLW]

Going with the law school alma for a W9 and then one more pick tonight hopefully for a W10 and a nice blue star this month.
