I have western Kentucky in my pool where I'm currently 6 and 0. Thinking about making a change but will probably stick with them as an 8 point confidence game.
 
I have the hilltoppers as well but I also didn't go 5-0 on Saturday.
 
I think USF wins this game. Everything started to click near the end of the season.
 
USF....IN A LANDSLIDE....Taggart has them red hot....don't throw you're money away...Temple and Cuse were mudstomped by the Taggart O...
 
This Western Kentucky QB is terrible. He could be the worst I've seen all year.

FYI there are, literally, NFL scouts there JUST to see him and, odds are, they could be the reason he's struggling early. Or, just maybe, it could be the USF defense. Kid is the #5 passing QB in the nation, yardage-wise, and #3 in passing efficiency.

That's what I read about him and that's why I took Western Kentucky. Some guys step up in big situations and some guys wilt. If he wilts against USF in the Miami bowl, I would guess he's not an NFL QB.
 
i thought willie taggart was going to be fired for sure two months ago. he sure turned things around.

reminds me of our 2008 season.

This game just solidifies why bowl season is fun. also, find some irony in people who lament about the number of games commenting in this thread. Guess they are watching after all

Hasn't he thrown for 350+ yards today. I just started watching 15 -20 minutes ago but he looks pretty darn good to me.

I wish I had more confidence in these minor bowl game picks. WKU holds on and I'm 5-1 but only 32 points.

Safe to say he didn't "wilt" and, more importantly, he showed resiliency after a lousy start. This kid might make it when all is said-and-done.

Maybe he will. Based on the first half he missed 3 wide open WRs for easy TDs. He didn't look good. Good to see he came to play in the 2nd half. I took WKU because of him.
 
Hope you don't gamble.

It was a joke based on your horrific call. Instead of acting like an ass, and bragging about something that happened when I was in high school, just say "shit, yeah, man was I WRONG on that one" and have a laugh. All good.

NickyNewark,

Just curious, I'd like to know how someone bets 10 grand on a 49-1 horse?? Did I read that correctly or did you win 10,000 total on a 49-1 shot(betting 200?) I would have to guess the latter and I just misinterpreted what you wrote.

Did you have inside info on the horse?(even to bet 200 or did you have a few exactas involved?)

Best of Luck,
Groz
