    OBAMA vs. VALPARAISO -2.5: So hard to resist this...

    Valpo -2.5 here..... Wow, just wow.

    This is so damn tempting. Hard not to buy a half here to -2 and watch the line flutter up to -3.5 by tip off. This Valpo is sick and solid... and they could easily be a Sweet 16 team in the dance in just a few weeks. Must resist... must resist .... must resist.... must resist

    Doesnt look like Obama, but this should be a good game.

    the Obama/McCallum comparison reminds me of an awful recurring segment in the Cleveland Plain-Dealer called Shaw's Spin that includes a Separated At Birth portion where readers write in with their bad comparisons. the Separated At Birth piece pretty much always include a comparison of a black national celebrity to a Cleveland sports pro, and at best, they share similar complexion (Byron Scott to Dave Chappelle was a recent one, Albert Belle to the dad from Fresh Prince was another). only thing that i see on a regular basis that's consistently less funny than Bill Simmons.

    agree that Valpo is the play, BOL.

    This Valpo team is solid. This is a classic "he who voted for Obama" type of game. Hard to lay off

    I took Valpo first half. Valpo looks like a solid well coached team .....also looks good defensively.

    Really like Valpo here. Put a nice chunk of my allotted daily roll on them today.

    Had to be one of the worst offensive foul calls I've seen all year.

    This Valpo will not be denied. Didn't play it, though. Must always have faith in the Obama angle. I'll get the next one.

    Came back to the bench. Went back to the locker room before half. Presumably just to hop on a bike and keep it from tightening up. He should play.

    I doubt that kid won't come back. He's tough and he looked like he was walking with less of a limp. I'm on Detroit though so hopefully he's out!

    #3 McCallum may be a good player but he is a moth when the camera lights are on him with his playground antics.

    Det wins. Proud of myself b/c I didn't bet it.


    The true Obama angles are to be had in the NCAA tourney. This was a false positive. Had it been the real deal I would've hit it...

    but I was disciplined.


    MORAL: NEVER TRUST AN OBAMA.

    good job, sir

    and, actually, I did play this game live in the 2nd half when they were down and tried scaled dog numbers .. to be totally frank.

    was a decent little spot for some action bets, but didn't come in
