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.

I knew I would take some for this...oh well. If it pays off and the Tide covers, I'll feel much better about it.

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.
