First, it was TheGym
Then, The guys at the food pantry
Finally, a person I can only identify as Lucky Lou ( under a promise of anonymity....he also writes for CBS SPORTS and ESPN)

This week pretty much like taking candy from a baby ( only question is, am I TheGiver? or TheTaker?)

( some of us will know on the 17th, which just happens to be the most often favorite Roulette #)

Others will " get it" right away...

UCLA ...you gotta' be kidding me...
Notre Dame ( inside tip:Touchdown Jesus making the trip to Beantown...first time in years...)
Duke ( Baylor +13.5, will tank, once again)
UAB ( them Alabama rejects can't be that bad!)
Louisville. ( Lamar wants to saddle up with Archie...and prove HE can make it in the NFL ...400+ total yards, EZ))
Florida ( chomp, chomp,,,)
Purdue. They are for real.
LSU . BIG!
Central Florida ( anybody realize how B.I.G. that school is??)
Kansas State...not just MY-self believing...
South Carolina...pull-eeze...Spurrier being inducted @ halftime! ( at least he's not being indicted, like elsewhere...)
Cincinnati ...Like a good Neighbor, the Bearcats gonna' show up this one!
New Mexico State + 6.5 ( have you seen the size of these guys??. Lots of tacos and burritos...)
Texas Tech-7.5. so many teams visiting TEXAS this weekend! Remember The Alamo!
California ( the hardest game on the board).Go figure...

 

Oh, and let me just tell you a bit about gambling 101 tournament strategy...

Any tournament is NOT like playing a regular game, no matter what the casino table game...( does not apply to slots)

Secret? ( Ok, Ok I'll tell ya')

Just " follow the leader" , the person with the most wins, most $$, most bankroll...

Wait until they make their move, and then,,.

HA! ( Just how do you factor -in all the " gambling intelligence" /sure-things/never lose strategies littering Las Vegas.?)

Well , just maybe you do.

Or not.

Like I say.." Go ugly, early"

SoWal 2017-18 NCAAF Pick'ems Week 3 Results
Congratulations to Beach Runner's Season leadership despite a 7-7 week. No double digit wins, but Red Dawg I, Bob Wells, and RNBParts picked 9 for the Week's leadership. Easy Gator win!?!?

 

Congrats to Red Dawg (woof-woof), Bob Wells, and RNBParts for tying for first this week. Y'all are barking up my tree! I gotta be careful this week. Skunky, sorry you were unable to pick. You should have contacted me and I would have put in some picks for you (like picking every home team unless LSU is the away team). That is, if that's okay with the other players. The same courtesy could extend to other players. What do you think, Lady D and cnestg8r?

 

Go Gators!

 

I'd agree with that.

 

Just like Sergio having to hit it off a rock @ The BMW Championship , seeking a better ( golf) lie...still better than being drowned...OK, OK, so looking like going to have to go even deeper for " True Lies" ( Arnie and Jamie Lee) week 4...

Can anybody tell the truth? Is Jason Bourne for real?

Maybe, just could be....Or, NOT!

It's Celebrity Chef week here ( or, at least someday ItCouldBe)...and " home cooking" is about to get a new meaning...

 

Fine with me.

 

Good with me, except it may not be clear what each person's preferred team would be. Perhaps it is just all home or all away.
