Week 15 Recap

The college football regular season is essentially over and that is heartbreaking, but we did finish 11-1 in our last dozen games.  Silver lining in every cloud I suppose.

Bowling Green flat out dominated Northern Illinois for four quarters.  Every year there are only a few games where you have a complete edge over the sportsbooks and this was one of those games.  Almost 80% of the bets coming in on the undefeated Northern Illinois Huskies, late line movement in Bowling Green's direction, value on top of value.

The game had everything you could want and expect from MACtion.  Big plays, big hits, fans pulling their pants down for extra points.


Ruthless?  Yes.  But show me one fanbase who doesn't try to get in the head of the opponent's kicker and I’ll show you a fanbase who doesn’t want to win bad enough for my taste.

On a related note, great showing by the San Diego fans this weekend.



In the Big Ten Championship, the entire country outside of Ohio was pulling for a Sparty victory.

Karma.


For some reason I can't explain, a picture of Urban Meyer eating postgame pizza surrounded by his family is sad.

PS - My account took a hit riding all of Kevin's picks from the comment section.  0-3.  Brutal.  

When I checked my account after those three losses:



Double PS - I still think Kevin catches fire during the bowls.  Champions learn from their mistakes and conquer.  That's what Kevin is going to do in bowl season.  Conquer.
