Spoke with IOWA FB assisitant last evening, and.......IMPORTANT UPDATE

[Fishhead]

He told me that this backup has looked OUTSTANDING in his preparation for todays game and he will be surprised if he does not play at LEAST ADAQUATE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO WIN THE GAME TODAY!!!

Of course you would EXPECT him to say that, perhaps to the media and such, but he is pretty up front and BRUTALLY honest with me when discussing the team......as he has been my friend for 25+ years.

I still believe asking a kid that has never started to perform well in the Horseshoe is asking a lot, HOWEVER I may be inclined to take the +17 after discussing this with him.

Please note, I LAID -13.5 with this game early on as many of you know, and late last night I felt compelled to take back 60% of my wager at +17 even money after my 30 minute discussion with my friend.........so that is where I stand on this game.

Early in the week I was calling for a 24+ point win by the Buckeyes, now I'm calling for between an 11-20 pt win by the Buckeyes in a game that i still feel will fall somewhere around the over/under total of 38 or so.

[Fishhead]

I just hope the majority of SBR posters come out on the right end of the stick on this game.

I love to see the majority here win money.

Love you guys, have a great Saturday!!

Man!! Isnt it great to get this sort of inside info

[jjgold]

Great info!!!

[tblues2005]

Fishhead the problem here is that Ohio State doesn't score an awful lot of points. When they are favored by more than 14 it is very hard to play them against any team that has a defense. Iowas defense has been pretty good this year and they may keep this one closer today that we think. That is why I am passing this game because of that. I do really think that an under is a very good play here though if I was playing that.

[MartinBlank]

Wait....a college assistant coach thinks his guy can play the night before a big game?

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really?

This just in.

The sun will rise tomorrow.

The Earth is round.

We need Oxygen to survive.

Hope all that info helps.

I hear ya!!!

I feel pretty confortable right now in thinking that OSU wins this game somewhere between 11-20..........but of course, that is not saying much considering the game has fluctuated between 13.5 and 17 for most of the week.............as you see with my wager, I have a small lean on OSU covering the -13.5.

........and like I stated, I JUST HOPE THE MAJORITY OF THE MONEY BET ON THIS GAME BY SBR POSTERS is winning money!!!

Fishhead, what happened to all ur points? Did u purchase something?

FH like i said earlier in the week i think IOWA's defense is good enough to give pryor fits and i just feel like 17 points is way too much I mean all stanzi did was turn the ball over even if this kid sucks ass it wont be anything new. I know your the iowa expert but i like the feel of this game

Read my post, as I said, you would expect him to say that......to the media!!

However, over the years he has MANY times told me negative situations involving the Hawkeyes that has allowed me to cash tickets betting against the Hawks.

Have a great day sir!!

I hope so also but I am saying that I have seen these things happen before where I have seen a team that gets favored like this win by less than they figure to.

Two things I believe your not taking into consideration in my opinion..........


1. Stanzi performed many positvie things for the Hawks and was just as good as he was bad at times.

2. The Iowa defense is very vulnerable to running QB's........perhaps the ONLY weak spot, if you want to call it that, this Iowa defense has. They like to drop their fast linebackers back in coverage and bend but not break style of defense and this allows lots of running room for a QB with speed who wants to run to consistantly gain 8-15 yds against them..........watch the game today and you will see exactly that.

[onthewhat]

All of Fishhead's (mine as well) points are currently loaded into the SBR Sportsbook, so it shows a balance of 0 on the forum.

[Fishhead]

I would be shocked if Pryor does not have a 100+ yard rushing day on the ground..............

My first stop into the SBR CASINO netted me a 700 pt. profit last evening.

I would like to than Lou for allowing me in what is a very nice online casino.

Yes you could be right there.

[Fishhead]

Yes you could be right there.

There has to be a prop on this someplace......I've been so busy that I haven't looked.

Today could be a huge day I'm hoping........need it, got bills up the ass.

i know what your saying, but pryor hasnt been run first so far this year so unless they really talked about him running i dont think he will do THAT much

[HoulihansTX]

I think its a real joke how people think a turnover prone Starting QB being INJ for the season hurt Iowa.

Stanzi never won them a game, except maybe Michigan St. He almost lost them more games.

The backup should have been playing a long time ago.

Like I said Sunday night.

IOWA +17, and sprinkle a little on the ML. I hope yall see how Penn St. is losing to Indiana right now.

What your saying is simply not true, but I can see if you don't watch every Iowa play that you might think that.

[MonkeyF0cker]

LOL. This guy is the biggest square on the planet.

[pavyracer]

If Iowa scores 10 points they will cover. A better bet is Iowa over 10 points for game if you think the new QB is good.

Alright dude. Iowa's team strengths: Defense, D- line Run O, TE passes, and superior coaching which allows them to overcome adversity.

Weakness: Stanzi, lack of overwhelming talent on offense, turnovers, and stanzi.

Dude your team just got better, and you will never live down betting against your team.

What a joke... a guy who claims to have inside info on a team, and a diehard Hawkeye fan that bets against his own team.

You will never live that down. I'm a FSU fan, and I dont bet their games at all.

Oh yea you forgot to respond to Indiana, a +27 Dog, beating Penn St. as we speak.

I'm a gambler 100x over being a fan of ANY team................

I would not pay over $39.95 for an Iowa national championship.............

Fans of teams.......LMFAO!!!!!

Being a fan of a team gets one nowhere in life.

Oh, by the way............


I was asked about Iowa possibly using the Wildcat offense with WR McNutt and was told......."You know damn well we have that in our arsenal".

I replied, "Well, is O'keefe(offensive cord) going to use it tommorrow?" and was told "I certainly hope so"

Being a Fan is fun. Being a fan got me to go to the Florida/FSU game two years ago. So It got me somewhere. And not betting any FSU games this year saved me a lot of money alos. So its good on my end.

GL, dude. I think your team is better off than you are giving them credit for.

Houly---this is a game Fish plays.

He will post or "predict" his Iowa team will not win-----and then trash them-----however, it is the perfect setup. If they do win---he can celebrate as the fan he is (don't let him bullshit you)----anyone who can name an Iowa recruit---and said recruit's high school statistics as Fishhead has done---is a fan of that team.

This is some goofy game he plays----allowing him a win/win.

Do note. Make fun of the Big 10 or Iowa---and Fishie runs to their defense.

I bet Iowa +625 earlier, I hope your friend is correct.

[MartinBlank]

I bet Iowa +625 earlier, I hope your friend is correct.

I sure hope Fishie's Iowa connections were better than his Vegas "sharp" that he called last Sunday.

That didn't work out so well in the advice department.

[Fishhead]

I bet Iowa +625 earlier, I hope your friend is correct.

I'm calling for a 10-20 OSU win.........down from my early in the week prediction.

As stated, just hope the majority of SBR posters are on the right side, whatever side that might be.

Looking forward to the game, will be interesting.

Right now, I'm enjoying the hell out of the Tenn-Ole Miss game.............
