    What the heck happened to Kstate? They were obviously one of the preferred plays of the week and shat the bed at Mizzou. o_O

    I usually avoid the high spread games entirely- too unpredictable. But I’m hoping Bama is angry.

    3 thoughts:
    Mizzou has the most returning experience of any SEC team per Phil Steele.
    Drinkabitz went out and hired an OC to focus attention on Special Teams.
    Brady Cook is a heady, gutty and experienced SEC QB.

    If I understand this correctly - since the line was -4.5 and K State only lost by 3 - a pick for K State is still a win....right?

    Negative Sir.
    Kansas State had to win by 5 to cover.
    That's a win for Mizzou.

    I have been wrong in my picks, but I have learned to never bet on Arky. Sorry for those who are learning the hard way! :confused:

    Another bloodbath for the panel yesterday. (Unofficial) by the numbers:
    • Faves went 4-6 this week and are 14-15-1 on the season.
    • Five out of 33 panelists had a plus week. Another five did not make picks.
    • Four went bust this week, three from not picking two consecutive weeks.
    • What started as a 37 member panel is down to 29.
    • Only @ApexNC (last season's winner) is in the "+"

    There’s a great line in Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Sun Also Rises
    where a character named Mike is asked how he went bankrupt.
    “Two ways,” he answers. “Gradually, then suddenly.”
    Thought you might like this.
