You would have had to have like more than 50k in your account to do so, right?  you're a big baller, you.

I didn't think about that part,I don't have anywhere near 50k in my accounts.  I can't make it fast enough for my wife to spend it.  Many years ago that would have been no sweat but those days are over now.

 
who da ho now?

Paul Petrino got to the Sun Belt in 2013 when he became head coach of Idaho. Since then opposing underdogs have gone 5-10 SU and 8-7 ATS versus the Vandals. When those dogs harbored a winning percentage of .250 or less they went 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS (4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS away). The underdog this week, Coastal Carolina, hasn't won a conference game yet in their first season in the Sun Belt, but crappy teams get themselves right versus Idaho.

Coastal is undergoing the longest road trip in program history, and prior to joining the Sun Belt had only crossed the Mississippi River four times for a football game. This week they left a day early to accommodate themselves to the long trip and jet lag. "Typically when you're doing something like this it's a playoff game or bowl game or something," CCU interim head coach Jamey Chadwell said. "We're going to have a lot of time to spend together."

Senior defensive end Dwayne Price said teammates will likely get into longer and deeper conversations on a myriad of topics. "You're around someone every day for a specific amount of time, then the next thing you know you're all like a band of brothers just in the house without your parents, so to speak," Price said. "You have more fun. It's more energetic. I think the reason some people get tired is because they're not used to being in planes for that long and taking long journeys."

They are crossing the country with a band of brothers mentality to face an Idaho team that is 3-6 overall and 2-3 in the conference. "I think the significance is, are we going to continue to play out when there's nothing to play for, when you're playing teams that have struggled as well," Chadwell said. "What’s the purpose, what team is going to show up? That’s what makes the trip in my mind very important for this program."

Coastal Carolina +7½

esports 2 sport star

While Boston Red Sox star outfielder Mookie Betts didn’t cash during his highly publicized competition at GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling IX, another 2-sport athlete did a bit better in a less publicized World Series debut.

Raymond Lussier will be competing in Thursday night’s bracket match play of the PBA Scorpion Championship, but like Betts he is far better known for his success in his other sport.

Perhaps like me you are wondering who Lussier is and what his sport is.

If you saw this Xtra Frame interview, you learned as I did that Lussier is one of the world’s best e-sports players, so good that he has a Twitter following bigger than Betts’.

And if you went to his e-sports bio here, you would learn all the details, including that “Rambo” is the 537thranked Call of Duty player in the world and 14th ranked in Canada. And that he earned more than $50,000 in prize money in 2015 and again in 2016.    

Lussier said he grew up bowling and was good enough to make Junior Team Canada and finish 53rd at the World Youth Championships 2008 before he stopped bowling for about six years after having health issues, and that was when he turned to video games.

“When I got better health-wise I was too busy playing video games to start bowling again,” he said.

In addition to playing, he spent three years working on making Call of Duty World War II — you’re living under a rock if you haven’t seen the marketing campaign for the new game.

Once that was done, he had more time to bowl league and tournaments on weekends.

And since Reno is only about four hours from home in the Bay area, he figured “why not” compete.

Lussier qualified 11th in te Scorpion Championship with 2,344 for 10 games and finished 93rd in the PBA World Championship with 8,672 for 40 games.

He faces Zeke Bayt in the Round of 16 and if he wins that match, would need to beat either Jason Belmonte or Bill O’Neill to make the TV finals.

“There’s a lot of connections between sports at a high level,” Lussier said in the Xtra Frame interview after making the Scorpion cut. “Gaming is kind of growing and some people won’t consider it a sport. But there’s a lot of intricacies from a mental standpoint … pressure is very similar, moments you need to really step up and perform are very similar. Physically bowling is obviously more demanding. At a very high level a lot of similarities in the mental game and that helped me out today.”

The World Series was has been “awesome all the way through,” he said. “And making the cut was just a bonus. I can’t express how awesome it feels.

“Bowling with Jesper (Svensson) was absolutely amazing. It’s insane what some of these guys do. You really get a feel for how good these guys are when you bowl against them in person.”

He fired a big last game to make the Scorpion cut after moving seven boards left.  

“I saw a 2-hander ahead of us,” Lussier said. “I learned from this morning when I didn’t make that move and just decided to go left and yam on it and it ended up working out.”

He went home between the Scorpion qualifier and match play to work a little bit and drove back Wednesday night.

“The gaming community is not really huge into bowling,” Lussier said. “I imagine I’ll get a lot of congratulations when they hear.”

Sagarin has Coastal v Idaho at a double digit spread today, just like Charlotte versus OD last week, and the +7 on Charlotte closed at +10 before kickoff (the 7 covered anyway). After buying the 7½ on Coastal last night I'm sweating the CLV because it feels like the same thing could happen.

This is always a tough situation, because if you tell her it sucks, you're and #######, but if you pretend to like if, she'll keep making it

Shark move is probably to leave it unprotected while you grab a beer and hope the dog eats it, or just be honest and say "honey, please pack your knives and go"

 
Yo the Cowboys are 14-1 SU L15 seasons in the game before Thanksgiving. Jason Garrett's never lost this game. The only SU loss was at Baltimore (-8) in 2004 sdql :tinfoilhat:

Ya. He seems pretty solid, right? His documented plays are really strong, but it looks like he stopped tracking awhile ago. 

His system is to fade CBB teams in the 2H who make over 60% of 3's in 1H on 10+ attempts, I believe. @vrsystemplays on Twitter.

Yeah I didn't want to post the system till I tailed it a while and knew if was really decent.  Hit Washington and Penn St last night but lost Lafayette.
