[bmw530i]

so people have been following his picks for years???

[accuscoresucks]

no i just wish the guy good luck

looks like he puts alot of effort into his picks

[bmw530i]

wow he has a huge following, he must pick consistent winners...he does some cool writeups.

[jgm1967]

I can tell you in the 3 years I have been here ,pags is a must read.He puts alot of time into research and his write ups and opinions are always worth taking the time out to find and read.

[gm2022]

I didnt know he was that well followed.

[Deuce]

I know he has JJ banned. Lost respect for him after that.

[bmw530i]

Hey deuce how you been? What I don't understand is this is a forum, where there are multiple sides to ever story, JJ or anyone else says anything bad to Pags...he wants them banned? Do JJ and Pags have a previous history?

[VegasDave]

Look no further then the fact that his current picks thread has over 6000 views. That obviously tells you people care what he has to say!

[bmw530i]

haha thats what shocked me USC so many views...I had to know more about this...wow

[Masu485]

Lots of people make picks.

Most have unreadable or illogical write-ups. Some are downright unreadable.

Some don't bother with write ups. Just post their picks... which really makes it hard to agree or disagree with them.

Some (I hope I am included on this list) offer clear and articulate insight on plays, which win or lose is a valuable thing to have, if for nothing else to get a fresh outlook on games.

Then you have the ultimate. Someone who has good write-ups AND actually has a proven winning record. Whats not to love?

I'd NEVER blindly follow someone, but if I had a strong lean and then signed on and saw that pags had the same lean, I'd be pretty happy with that pick.

6000 views?

His F5 button must be worn out.

lol...

My youtube vid only got 600 views this week... I was bummed but am using the excuse that youtube was under maintenance the day I posted it and that screwed stuff up.

I was just thinking I should F5 my way to 1000

[goldengoat]

he is just another poster on the board imo

[treece]

I'm sick of this guy Pags. He acts like he's god's gift to college football, if someone says something bad about him he gets bend out of shape. Write ups are worthless to me, picking winners is what counts. Brandon Lang has nice write ups but what good are they if he can't pick his nose.

Hasn't he won for years in a row? I see no downside to following his picks.

Do as you wish, though.

Pags is a capper in every sense of the term. Like everyone, he has bad days - and he has good days. He gives you the best information I see on these boards - in fact, I don't know of anyone who consistently gives good information other than him (the NFL forums stink in that regard - and that's where I spend most of my time) - you know, the kind of information that sets off alarms before making a bet. His information has been invaluable at learning how to cap college football - and to a degree that has helped me in the NFL, which is my bread+butter. When I say information - it's not so much the picks, it's the susbstance in his thoughts ona game - I don't care if I'm on the other side of one of his picks, the perspective is good for not only that week - but later weeks.

I dunno, I come from the poker mentality for success that I hold with betting - at the end of the year if you're up, you had a good year. Pags has a good year every year... I dunno, if you don't like his confidence or him talking about his record - then don't pay attention. He doesn't flaunt it unless he has to. That's respectable. You have to have that if you want to be good - you can't let some tosser on the internet take that away, although so many seem to try.

Pags is a capper in every sense of the term.

His work and research are great reads and a great way to get another perspective on a game. Cappers will always have a following of negative nellys. But pags really works hard at finding the right angle.

[daggerkobe]

Never heard of em.

[bmw530i]

Dagger... great call on laying off North Carolina.

[daggerkobe]

Thanks.

[SBR Lou]

Pags puts in a tremendous amount of time to his write ups and it's great that he's chosen to share his plays here. It goes without saying his stuff is a must read for anyone semi serious into college football.

[BuddyBear]

Last year Pags invited me out to his place to study college football with him. He put me up in his place and took care me for the time I was out there. I've been around scholars, academics, and some of the most intelligent people in this country, and yet I've never seen anyone work so hard at watching tape, taking notes, evaluating talent, judging in-game coaching, keeping up with injuries and linemovement throughout the week. By the time my I left his place, I realized on the flight home that I had been privy to a greatness that so few us will ever experience in life. It was his genius as a college football handicapper that had shown me that you have to work hard at anything to be good at it.

You ask the guy for his NFL picks, he'll tell you no thanks, I don't bet NFL. MLB picks? He'll tell he will lose in the long run despite the fact that he was a professional baseball player. Ask him about NCAAB, he'll tell you just for fun. Ask him NCAAF, well, he knows college football like the Pope knows the Lord's prayer.

It's truly remarkable that we are blessed to have such a knowledgable, dynamic, and polite individual who despite his greatness as a college football capper, treats us all as equals on here despite the fact that he knows 9 out of every 10 guys who view the NCAAF forum is a long-term loser. We are lucky to have him here day in and day out.

My advice to the moron who started this thread is to A) apologize and B) stop posting at SBR.

[bmw530i]

Hey Buddy relax, I asked for info on him is all? You seem really angry...hahah...He played Major League Baseball...what team?

[pavyracer]

Pags is a very good capper.

Okay, i thougt this was a hate-fest on him after what happened yesterday.

I am not comfortable revaling too much about what he did and where he played, but I can assure he was a professional athlete and remains in tremendous shape. Guy can easily bench press 500 pounds.

[daggerkobe]

What a crock of shit.

Guys like him a dime a dozen on Covers. I predict he'll turn tout by 2010.

This is like having five 45 lbs weights on each side of the bar. He's either on steroids or Hercules.

[bmw530i]

No..he intrigues me, thats why I asked.... but cool info on him so far...he is jacked up and bench presses more than John Cena...and he played in the Major leagues....good stuff!

[Tosser]

He posts interesting reads in his NCAA threads..that is more than most of the spammers here are capable of.. just leave him alone.

[BuddyBear]

He's in great shape, I'll tell you that much. Every time I call him, he's at the gym or on his way to the gym or he's out wtih a lady friend.

You guys rail on his picks, yet his record speaks for itself. I challenge you to find me someone on here who is more knowledgable than he is about NCAAF. We are truly fortunate to have him posting here.

[bmw530i]

So if there is a Pags thread it's automatically negative?? I didn't start this thread for negative purposes...

[daggerkobe]

what is his record? I've never bothered to even look.

But anyone who grades his plays at +100 while the rest of the world does it at -110, you know is a shady character.

[daggerkobe]

bmw we know.

Buddybear is obviously in love with him or in cahoots with him so he is overprotective. But anyone that is unbiased can see u were just asking an innocent question.

Sadly, most guys enjoy it when successful cappers lose. Of all the people on this board, he is the one guy who you want to win because quite honestly, he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He's devoted his entire professional business career to helping kids out and getting them into college.

You guys should really be ashamed of yourself for saying some of the things you say about him.
