The line(wagering wise)

[Obzerver]

This from the 5Dimes Sportsbook online:


Eastern Washington by 10.5 points

Appalachian St by 7 points

Delaware by 17 points

Wofford by 4.5 points

New Hampshire by 17 points

William & Mary by 8.5 points

Montana State University by 4.5 points

Villanova by 3 points

wow. asu by only 7 points? that makes me seriously question this.

The Colonial League gets more respect than they deserve. Delaware is in for a struggle, so is William and Mary.

I think we're going to be in for a tight game with SEMO, at least at first. They look like a good team, I think a lot of this is going to come down to big plays, and turnovers.

 

[LDopaPDX]

There is a long-held belief that the OVC is only one step above the pitiful MEAC (note that 10-1 Bethune-Cookman is a massive underdog to 7-4 New Hampshire) and I think that heavily weighed on the line. Even though the BSC hasn't won a championship in a while- a LONG while if you disclude Montana- it still is a power conference whereas the OVC is viewed as a non-power conference. Think of the Big sky as the Pac-10 to the Colonial's SEC and the OVC would be more like Conference USA.

Whether that is true or just perceived, I guess we'll find out Saturday. It's interesting to go to the CS.com site because many are picking against Jacksonville State as well. Not a lot of respect for the OVC, but a big opportunity to win over some new fans if they pull a couple of wins this weekend.

By the way, I'm calling the minor upset and taking SFA over Villanova. I think they win this one in Texas... same situation to beating us last year.

Ps- Lagavulin 16 year scotch is the shit !!! Drank a double for the first time about 15 minutes and feelin' no pain! Time to break out the REAL Cohiba's and throw myself a private party!

I sure hope the Vegas types now what they are talking about. I would love nothing more than a convincing win at home in the second round of the playoffs.

Have you tried Laphroaig 15? Nice smoky palate with a slight vanilla finish. It's a good one!

Haha, NOTHING. Try this.....

Hillbilly Tea

Fifth (750ml) of Canadian Mist
2 liter 7-up
32 oz (2 cans) of No Fear energy drink, original flavor

Mix in a big pitcher until the bubbles are gone. Tastes/looks just like Arizona peach iced tea.

In honor of the season, here's a link to an eggnog recipe we fondly refer to as Uncle Cyril's Eggnog. It literally had a friend singing "Bingle Jells" at one of our Christmas parties. Hasn't this thread taken an interesting turn?

HannahO, an interesting turn yet insightful. Gambling, Football, liquor and next...

I'll make it easy for you all to buy me a Christmas present this year. I'd love a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Thanks!

 

[LDopaPDX]

Appreicate the love for the Blue Label, but I've never got spending roughly $250 a bottle on blended scotch with no real age restrictions.

To me, the drinker's scotch is single malt. The partier's scotch is blended. Nothing wrong with either, it's just a mood thing. But $250 on something that you and your buddies will put away in half an hour? I've got money, but I don't have that kind of money.

 

[eaglesfootball]

unfortunately the line means little to nothing when it comes to FCS teams. i would take this with a grain of salt as SEMO will be a very difficult matchup for us.

 

[93bird]

You've got me pegged Dopa. I'm not saying I'd buy the Blue Label, only that I'd enjoy drinking it. Have you tried the Square One vodka?
