Hey BAGIANT
He has not given out his Big Ten GOY yet. He says it is going to be a bowl game.
I remember back in the old days he hit 19 years in a row. He would move the line 7 points when he put it out.
How is Ron at the old forum doing? Do you ever talk to him?
I actually won the big contest one year at Ron's. You won it twice, didn't you?
Take care my friend.

In 1990 I believe it was, I won the biggest $$ I'd ever bet up to that time on his GOY. Was a chalk w/MSU & they were down DD @ half. Was in LV @ the time, turned off the TV. Short version they WON!! Whew. The original "Doc" is dead now I think. He WAS $$$ for quite a while.
Oak, I speak to Ron occasionally, and we send each other emails. I went to Vegas with a friend of mine just to bet his GOY. I remember going to Circus-Circus the Friday night before the game and trying to guess which game would be the GOY.
Turned out that year it was Indiana, and somehow Vegas got the news before anyone else and the line started moving before the game was given out to the public. I was putting bets in for a friend of mine after we called our local back home. We got the line at -4.5 while in Vegas it had jumped to -6. Went to the RIO about an hour later, and the game was up to -9. I begged my friend to loan me some money to bet the other side, but he wouldn't do it because he said it would jinx his other bet. Needless to say, the game fell on -6. Doc claimed it as a win, but in most places it was a push or even a loss.
As far as I know, Doc, Morey Moseman, is still alive unless he passed away recently.

Originating in 1971, Doc's Sports was created and over time has become one of the most trusted services in the sports handicapping business. Who can dispute their popularity as Doc came up huge with 19, count'em, NINETEEN years in a row winning his Big Ten GOY pick!
His influence on the Big Ten Game of the Year pick is so enormous that Las Vegas Sportsbooks have been known to move the spreads on these games up to as many as 7 points! Now that's respect!
