did anyone see that punk bob stoops cover that game against Colorado

all they had to do was kneel and the game was over and he goes for it on 1st and goal on the 5 with 15 seconds left up by 14 unbelievable i have never seen a more blatant attempt to cover a game

That type of move can keep you in a job, sj.

Think of all the homers that had action on OK and how Stoopsie got them paid. He's their hero. These are things to consider when wagering on college football games.

sjelveh · 10-21-2006, 10:42 PM

yeah i know but you have to complain about that if had Colorado if you have ou your stoked

Nebraska did the same thing to Oklahoma a few years ago, down 31-0, they kicked a 48 yard FG or something after they called timeout with like 2 seconds left to kick it. Line was Sooners -29 or something. This crap happens all the time in CFB.

so you live in lucky country...
in my country teams try to cover the spread of their opponents.
I remember one ice-hockey match where one very young boy scored and tied the game.... he was the only one who was happy.

LOL. I guess the poor kid didn't get the memo, huh?

i had -12 didn't matter

those things happen often... this was extraliga case (the highest league)
Minor leagues are absolutely corrupted.
Local bookies do not have odds for the second highest league, because they were ruined last year. Incomprehensible for me is: Pinnacle has odds not only for this second league but also for the third highest leagues (my estimation of average amount of onlookers is about 50 by those games). No one else in the world ever tried it. My guess is that nobody who betted on this games lost. I am staying away - low limits and I have no insider info.

I was a more than a little upset about BC making one of the worst coaching decisions ever that didn't cost a team the game. BC was up by 7 and I was under the total by a half point with only thirty seconds left in the game. BC is punting the ball from their own 15 and they decide to run the ball out the back of the endzone and take a safety. The two points push the total over and give FSU an opening to win the game with a TD instead of just tie. It's not like the safety even gave them much better field position to kick from. I never wanted a team to score a TD so bad in my life.

I will vouch for the accuracy of this information.

And I am pissed off. I had middle LSU/Fresno on totals. After I read this article I hoped that LSU will try to cover spread (after their last 30 yd TD straight from 4th down).
No... they stopped at 5 yd

JDK192 · 10-21-2006, 11:40 PM

It's in a college coaches job description to cover for the alumni.

Same here, but I had -13. So I was sitting good at 17-3. Didnt bother me that they put on another touchdown for a better looking final.

Had that one. 30-3 final. Hilarious. I have forever hated Bill Callahan for that

, although he redeemed himself a little bit today.
I don't know if anyone remembers the Kentucky/Ole Miss basketball game last season, but KY (-11) shot and made a three as time expired when it already led by 11.

That's pretty sick. I had FSU -5 for the second half (+6 for the game) so it worked out pretty well for me.

I had Colorado +14 and watched helplessly as they ran that last play...they hit him at the one, but he fell into the endzone...I'm still pissed...
