No I didn’t . You really are dumb bus

I had $10 win bets on the 3, 7 and 21. . That is $30 wagered

I had $2 exacta keyed with 3, 7 and 21 on top. That wager was $38 per ticket = $114 wagered


The win bet paid $196. The exacta paid $258

So the hit was for $454 - 144 wagered = $310 win

I teach you horse betting math now @WhiteBus

To be accurate, anybody and everybody making a prediction about the upcoming season is making a lot of assumptions. I have no idea how this upcoming season’s team will perform. And, like everyone else, I can only guess at how the new players will do.

We don’t yet know the complete makeup of the team. We don’t yet know how the freshmen will do against talented college juniors and seniors. We don’t yet know if the team will have good chemistry.

We won’t really know much of anything until we play some games against good competition.

Correct. I should have stated I think that poster was making assumptions that will not be accurate. And no one knows, but from what I see, Pike has brought in experienced, tough talent that complements this freshman class and the players that stayed, AND will work hard on D. We will see.

I like Scott so far, no surprise. He seemed to have two viable pitches, his heater and the sweeper. The traditional slider was just OK, and he did almost nothing with his splitter, and the one I saw was weak.

The heater is regularly at 95-96 and seems to have late ride that hitters struggle with. He located well. He regularly got ahead. His sweeper is a good one too. But the show with him is the fastball. Whatever deception there is to it (that makers hitters struggle and makes Fox announcers like Wainwright garble on claiming that it feels like 106) needs to continue. We may eventually see why Scott was giving up dingers too.

But nice first start.

"First - there is no such thing as "the players." Some players and units will see something one way and others another way. I was on a college football team with 100 guys on it. You can play all season with guys you don't know their full names or even talk to them. Players and coaches have favs and vice versa. I knew great players who never got on the field because a coaches pet scrub was starting for future recruiting reasons.

I can guarantee there are players who dont buy the "Gopher really shined in spring exhibition game and GW was awful" scenario. GW had a lot of friends on team and Gopher was a fav of an overrated coach who was part of RUs 2010 and left Minn offense a mess. "Third year is the mastery" lol.

Ball control is easy when offense has one hand behind its back. GS's defense are fun but his offenses suck - Ray Rice made him back in the day. Could never beat WV and RU kickers own the red zone because downs 1-3 were usually futile. Last year RU could finally block for run but still not for long asses (GS said).

A QB with 20 combined TDs wasn't killing a season. His "best" WR a 5th yr guy with 468 yds and 3 TDs (none - 0 - after mid September). That pretty lame in B1G (would have been bad for BE too) and Minn guy was miles better.

I could see GW being replaced by a real upgrade but that's not what RU got. One Kia replaced another Kia. QB is more than an arm/eyes throwing to hands/legs. A lot goes on between DBs and WRs. Often a QB is supposed to throw a sketchy, hard to catch ball. Most fans dont even know what a Sid Gilman decision tree is and take a simpistic view of the position. Obviously even NFL HCs dont do well with QBs either so its not so unsual GS still does so bad at it 20 years in.

A high ranked QB would be nuts to come to RU even more now. Sitkowski, DC, Savage, GW - annoited heroes who never got to bloosom at RU - time to stop blaming the players. Dodd was better than all of them but could barely get on the field despite winning BE player of the week after 1st start . Five INTs but starter couldn't get him in (think RU players did care about 5 INTs twice?).

People should watch Stephon Gilmour explain what goes on beteen the snap and pass

So.. running down our current starting QB and coaches who made that decision are a viable option in arguing a point for you? Just shows you cannot provide a viable argument FOR keeping GW as the starter based on any facts.. you can only run down the guy the coaches chose to replace him.

Weak. Negative selling is always weak.
