Dave, I wish you well this week and I like that OVER with USC and Syracuse but Dave, as bad as Florida looked and even are, they aren't gonna become a trivia answer tot he question, Who was Texas A&M's first ever SEC win over? Dave, Florida will get the job done here.

Dave how about a friendly? If Florida wins you shave your head, ok I'll give you a break here you shave those FOK'n sideburns. If Florida loses I grow my hair out.

Yep, beautiful SoCal.

No can do Wal. I'm nothing w/o my FOK'n sideburns. They create the optical illusion that I've lost weight.

This ain't Meyer's Florida. They don't scare me, especially 1500 miles away from the Swamp. GL buddy.

I like Georgia too. But with their history of coughing up big games early in the year, I just think there are better spots to bet on. Mizzou is solid.

Since losing 100 pounds, I've never been back over that mark. The best I've been at is 125 lbs lost. The problem has been the holidays... Every year I have put on 10-20 lbs in Nov-Dec and spend Jan-Mar (or longer) recovering from that. This year, I'm trying to break that trend. We'll see how that goes...

Today, I'm 120 lbs under what I was in February of '09. Five away from my best and about 20-30 away from the "end game".

But yeah, on the bright side, I never became a complete blob again.

Impressive. Middle that SOB, VD? GL from MCB.

Nah, just lucky. 4.5-point swing AGAINST me in Virginia/PSU total, and looks like all the late money is coming in on Florida, too.

On the bright side, I wouldn't call the Florida side "sharp"... ol' wallie is on it after all. (Just kidding buddy, love ya).

Good luck today everyone!

Does anyone else hate when the leans that they passed on making plays on are going well?

I liked Kansas State -7.0 and UCF +17.5. Cut UCF fairly early, KSU was one of my very last cuts.

Only going to get so many games "right" on any given day... hate when ones I didn't go with seem to be among them.
