They had a garbage touchdown late and their other points were all off of turnovers. Their offense did nothing against either one of our teams. I bet Louisville 1H because I figured they wouldn't punt all day. I actually enjoyed the ending and that onsides kick, LOL, but I really just don't understand how it happened. Illinois and Iowa are not worldbeaters by any means, and they both manhandled Syracuse from start to finish. Just bizarre. Louisville D must be beyond horrible.
You guys might not believe this, but a friend of mine decided to place his first bets today (through me) and played 5 $1 ML plays. The FIRST thing he played was Syracuse ML at 85-1 and I was stunned when it hit. Never seen anything like it and this was the kids first fucking bet. Been gambling 5 years and the biggest ML dog I ever hit was like 12-1 and this kid nails his very first. Crazy....
And if you're curious his other 4 $1 ML plays today were Army, North Carolina, Washington St., and Florida International.
Here is the ticket for proof........

makes no sense. 100+ wins 2 years prior and their best start ever over 50 games to start a season last year...had some injuries and a bad last month but got entire team back for playoffs and played like the team that won 100 previous 2 seasons and the same team that set all time record for wins over first 50 games. Not sure what the big deal is about the Cards last year....been top 3 team in baseball over past 10 years and top 2 of all time.
Thought you were more educated about baseball Jman, but i may be wrong...just might be a stat geek.
You are already quite right. I tried to explain to him that this was one of the best upsets in CFB ever and I can't see it happening again. Had to talk him out of taking Rice last night and this week he wants to put down $5 on each of these longshot ML's. I would take the action myself but if he hits one of em, I'd be fucked.
