Navy (ML) v. Ohio State

[Joe_Shabadoo]

Yes sir, over 8.5 -140 odds on 5 dimes last I checked a couple of days ago

Really? Wow, I was just doing some educated guessing.

Yeah, that's a good one. Thanks.

[Briefcase]

Not going to be close. Ohio State rolls here.

+1 this will be a burial in 2h.

My question to all of you is this. Did any of you have enough guts to take Navy plus all of those points BEFORE Mille went down? Knowing the type of people who post in here, I rather doubt it. It's too late now.

It's a good thing that most of the people in here aren't like you...

Go crawl back into your hole, loser. You still owe me boy.

[Ralphie Halves]

Shame, I would have loved to see the result after these teams played at 100%. Now we'll never know.

[Night-Tripper]

Owe you?

For what?

For exposing you as a liar and a fraud?

Yes.

As a Georgia Tech and option football fan, I'll be pulling for you and Navy, Joe. I don't know if they have the horses, to be honest, but let's not forget they came damn close a few years ago to taking out Ohio State.... in Columbus. And let the record show I'm about sick and tired of Navy ending up with all these great option quarterbacks. I'd give my left arm for a Keenan Reynolds or a Ricky Dobbs.

[BigdaddyQH]

The line is now 11 1/2 in Vegas. A 6 point drop since Miller went out. Those who got Navy +17 1/2 should be seriously thinking of hedging or a middle now. Ohio State is still bigger and stronger than Navy and more talented. They have a much better HC in Urban Meyer. Now they have something to play for. They want to show the world that they are just as good now as they were with Miller. They will be playing harder now than if Miller were in the line up.

You and the other two arseholes across the street own me for the Oregon-Stanford game last season. Being the liar you are, you will deny this, but that's O.K. I will get paid, one way or the other. Now go out and practice tossing tortilla's, just like all the other worthless T-Tech grads.

Only pussies and people without confidence in their handicapping ability play middles.

You are so fukking delusional, it's not even funny.

Owe you for what?

I was on Stanford + points AND the moneyline against the Ducks last year.

You are one seriously sick motherfukker!

PS: Stick out your tongue and I will gladly pay you off!

You are nothing but a friggin liar. I will deal with you when I choose to and it is not going to pleasant for you. Got that little sissy who smokes Marlboro Menthols. All the sissies like those. Now go crawl back into your hole, you dummy. Practice your Tortilla Tossing like all of the other little girls at T-Tech.

[TPowell]

I capped this game at Ohio State like -5. Great price here

[Live4Action]

Today we will be reminded why teams with true talent and real coaches don't run the wishbone.

The Flexbone, that is.

[Microbetter]

Life is full of options(+16.5)

[SamDiamond]

Tough one here.

Navy hung tough.

[SamDiamond]

I have not found a win total, but, based on their schedule, I would handicap it at around [ over 8.5 (-180) ].

One could already my guess on their prospects for this season, but if they can pull off the week-1 upset they could run the table. I don't know what Brian VanGorder will do differently from Bob Diago to muddle Navy's offensive keys this season when they play the Irish at FedEx Field. I'll guess that they will not present anything new to the Middies than what they may have seen the past 12 seasons or so.

I'm not concerned with Coach Jasper and the offense; it's all on how efficient Coach Green and the defense can be within the construct of such a passive defense. I mean, they're running a similar defensive scheme that Jim Casteel did back in the glory days of West Virginia football, but without the operative threat of blitzing. Usually at all.

Don't get me wrong, Buddy Green is a great coach. He gets the best out of athletes that are usually 40-lbs. too light and about .03 sec. too slow to perform what the original scheme required. His squads, recently, have had a much larger athlete at nose-guard than commonly seen at service academies. These players have also been intelligent enough to achieve that "Ralph" technique where the NT "reverse scoops" the center/guard to the opposite angle of run flow, so that the front can two-gap, allowing both ILBs to get across, and not require the NT to also be an amazing athlete that has to beat the center across his face and then deal with an ace block by the guard who also has outside leverage.

In all, I really do see Navy having the potential to run the table this year, even going against tO.S.U., Notre Dame, Rutgers, and an underrated South Alabama squad on the road.

I'm interested to find out what their post-season destination would be if this were to happen.

I am not bumping this thread to bust on Joe.

I am bumping this thread to see what he thinks now.

Navy is 2-3, and could very well be 2-4 after today (although I suspect they pull this one out).

But if they don't... they are staring the possibility of a losing season right in the face... with Notre Dame, Georgia Southern, and South Alabama still on deck.

This was a good football discussion thread......like to see Joe come back to this thread.
