    Default Why I Changed My Mind And Picked Alabama...Fooseball Is The Devil

    Okay, so all week I've been ranting on why I think Florida is the better team, and as I phoned my plays into my bookie today it hit me like a ton of bricks. Why I am I giving points in one of the most anticipated games of the year? Why am I giving points when I know the winner of the SEC the last 6 years has been the squad with the best defense? Why am I giving double digits when I know for a fact that Bama can control both sides of the line and that's usually what wins football games? Well...this is a first...I am officially changing my pick and going the other way and backing Alabama this weekend. I don't know if it's the right play or not, or if I'm shooting myself in the thigh (Plaxico), but I just can't bring myself to give all those points in this kind of a game. I've also been listening all week to everyone stroking Florida (I was one of them) including a lot of media people. You know that Alabama team has heard it too. I'd like to know if anyone else has ever done this and how it worked out. I mean, feeling strongly about a pick and thinking about it all week, only to go the other way.

    Bama will be one of my plays as well. Saban is a great defensive coach. He'll keep it close if not win outright.

    I understand your reasoning for liking Alabama, but the worst thing you can do is go against your first instinct, especially when its a strong instinct.....When this happens I always go an automatic no play....Just think, you have reasons to like both teams chances so why take a chance yourself?????? Pick another game......Just my opinion.....GL

    Default Kinda like last nights game

    I went to the casino won 160.00

    I bought scalped tickets from a guy on the corner 20.00

    I sat in front of the hot a++ Ball St pom pom girls. #9 is smoking hot 4 beers 30.00

    I moved over to the Balls St side students section sat next to some hot college chick 2more beers 15.00

    I watch my bet go down the drain -200.00 Priceless

    Ball St pumped
    Ball St lost 42/24 They really were never in the game from what I saw.

    As for Buffalo:The Kent St game was a hoax. I played buffalo most the season won big money.So yes I dont blame you for taking that bet. Good Luck!

    I am still on Fla -10 but you may be right. I heard Navy was a good bet.
