**strike3** · 12-16-09, 10:17 PM

Thanks Coug, question you have Stanford at +10 and Oklahoma at -7.5 are you on both those?

**Cougar Bait** · 12-16-09, 11:29 PM

Yeah, I played both sides of that one. It's not something that I generally do, but I am not supremely confident in Stanford and feel the line move is large enough for a possible middle.

**Cougar Bait** · 12-17-09, 06:42 AM

This was my record for last year...started out strong then faded...but went 11-8. Hopefully I can improve this year.

Okay, right off the bat I'll tell you I shouldn't be playing this many games, but I'm having a good year, and I figure I'll make 90% of them 1 units plays to keep my bankroll strong.

Wake Forest -3 WIN
Colorado St. +3 WIN
Arizona -3 WIN
West Virginia PK WIN
N.C. State +9 WIN
Northwestern +13 WIN
Rice -3 (2 units) WIN
Oklahoma St. -3 LOSS
Boston College -3.5 LOSS
Georgia Tech -3.5 LOSS
Iowa -3 (2 units) WIN
Penn St. +10 LOSS
Virginia Tech +2 WIN
East Carolina -2.5 LOSS
Texas Tech -4.5 LOSS
Alabama -9 (2 units) LOSS
Texas -9 (2 units) LOSS
Tulsa -2.5 (2 units) WIN
Florida/Oklahoma UNDER 70 (2 units) WIN

I probably won't be adding any games, but if I do it will be prior to the actual start time of the game (duh) and likewise if I scratch a game. Thoughts are welcome. GL everyone! YTD ATS College Football: 64-48 +28 units

Best of luck on the bowls Cougar

**BigdaddyQH** · 12-17-09, 11:14 AM

It's too bad that you could not get a 7 middle on the OU-Stanford game. I took the ML on 4 of your dog plays (UNC, Temple, Kentucky and LSU), and also have Miami and Pregon state as straight side plays. Maybe I was not as drunk as I thought I was last night when (just to show off) I made these wagers. GL.

**Cougar Bait** · 12-17-09, 06:21 PM

Kustac,

Thanks and GL to you as well...

BigDaddy,

Yes, I was hoping for a 7 but I didn't want to see it climb back up. I am not an expert at this, but thought that 10 to 7.5 was decent enough to give it a go. I don't know about being on the same side as me on those 6 plays...you may have been drunk...my year has not been very good. Hopefully Bowl season will turn things around. However, if you haven't made money by bowl season most know that it's difficult to turn it around. I am mostly out juice, 66-64-2. But that is just not going to cut it. This bowl season, anything less than 65-70% winners will be a failure. I hope I have taken enough time dissecting the games and matchups for it to pay off.

**angelodebo** · 12-17-09, 08:13 PM

Cougar..as always..picks look good.

My strongest pick this bowl season is Miami Hurricanes! I think they are a young team and at certain points this season, the few upper classmen they had got hurt and the team seemed to get caught in a "rut" and under performed. Also, I think the ACC is stronger than the BIG 10. Too much speed!

I think a healthy, refreshed Hurricane team will roll all over Wisconsin.

Miami is going to score 40pts..and wiscy was very suspect on the road this year.

Miami is def the pick of the bowl season. Glad to see you on them!

**Cougar Bait** · 12-17-09, 08:33 PM

Yes angelo....love the Miami pick. Getting healthy is key for them, for sure. Wisconsin is a running dog...but that doesn't worry me too much. I think the U takes care of business.

**Cougar Bait** · 12-19-09, 12:53 PM

Finally BOWL SEASON has arrived! With both college basketball and football to watch today and a crock pot to tend to shortly I can't think of a better Saturday. Also since a lot of the United States will be under snow advisories from all the global warming we're currently experiencing, being indoors today won't be so bad. So fuk Al Gore and let's get this shit going...

I have Wyoming in the early (got it at +11 on Wednesday) and Rutgers -2.5. All plays are for 2 units. The Wyoming play is simply a play on Fresno's defense more than anything. Rutgers I like because even though they lost to tougher competition this year, they mixed it up with some of the best teams in the Big East. I also like the fact that they have the number 1 turnover ratio in all of college football. Some say that doesn't matter. But in close games, that can be the difference between winning and losing.

**_MisterMoney_** · 12-19-09, 01:04 PM

Good luck Cougar. On Fresno with ya.

**Cougar Bait** · 12-19-09, 01:12 PM

I saw you came back MM...good luck to you as well.

**_MisterMoney_** · 12-19-09, 01:16 PM

Yeah been a busy semester. Our Christmas break runs from December 11th to January 20th. So I'll have plenty of time to cap and post.

**Cougar Bait** · 12-19-09, 02:41 PM

I saw some of your posts on "that other site." You should have continued to post here. Your thoughts were always welcome. I know Pags and I were kinda rough on you about your record, but that was a crazy time around here...glad to have ya back. BOL this BOWL season

**ronjon619** · 12-19-09, 04:04 PM

I got the Cowboys. Looking for a close one. Fresno is brutally average.

**Cougar Bait** · 12-20-09, 12:06 AM

2-0 on the bowls so far...can't complain.

Next play is Oregon State -2.5 on Tuesday

**Cougar Bait** · 12-22-09, 05:58 PM

Line is starting to move...Hope everyone got -2.5 who is on the Beavers. There's a sick joke in there somewhere...

GL tonight guys

**Cougar Bait** · 12-23-09, 06:35 AM

Well, that was quite the beat down.

2-1 so far, no more plays for me until Saturday. I'll have 2 games.

**Cougar Bait** · 12-24-09, 12:31 PM

Adding SMU +12 for 2 units

**Cougar Bait** · 12-25-09, 12:51 AM

Easy money tonight.

3-1 in bowl plays so far.

**Cougar Bait** · 12-26-09, 07:40 PM

1-1 on the day. Glad I had the points and got the line early in the UNC game.

4-2 this year in bowls.

**Cougar Bait** · 12-29-09, 03:53 PM

Tough loss on Kentucky the other night by a half point. Well, that's the way it goes sometimes.

Temple +4
Miami -3

GL tonight guys.

**Cougar Bait** · 12-30-09, 09:26 AM

Going the wrong direction here...

0-2 yesterday.

Arizona is my play today.

**Pin Fish** · 12-30-09, 11:37 AM

bad line movement for AZ

**Tree Rollins** · 12-30-09, 04:56 PM

I REALLY like nebraska tonight. But who am i?

Stick with your pick. Lately I can pick college hoops winners, but foots is for some reason alluding me.

**Cougar Bait** · 01-07-10, 06:47 PM

Adding

Alabama -4 (8 units)

So...it's been a rough bowl season, a mediocre to below average regular season, and I'm loving the Crimson Tide tonight. Probably means you should take Texas. Have 4 units on -4.5 and 8 units on -4. I don't think Texas will be able to run the ball on Bama's D...this won't be the same team that came out and limped to a pitiful loss to Utah last year. Saban should have them ready after a month or so to prepare. And I know Texas hasn't faced a team this good all year.

The college baskets are really going well, so check in over there if you like to play hoops. GL tonight everyone

**masr** · 01-07-10, 08:09 PM

Sorry to hear your on the other side cougar!
GO LONGHORNS!!

**Cougar Bait** · 01-08-10, 12:04 AM

I have a good feeling Texas could have won outright if not for the injury. Gotta love the breaks when they go your way.

2-0 +12 units

YTD final 77-75-2 -3.49 units. See you guys next year
