***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: Gators vs Nerdbillies***

I was at that game, I was a little uneasy at 21-3. Then the walls came tumbling down.

Great song by the Travelling Willburys too

Ox has it at 34.5. Seriously

Shockingly, the people on this board tend to be biased towards the Gators, and pick them to cover as a reflex, or even as some sort of duty. Hence, I always make it more difficult for them by jacking up that number a bit.

Even jacking it up, we're at 79% picking them to cover 34.5. Whoo boy.

We lost at home to Vandy in 2013, as all well remember. My youngest son was a senior in high school and was being "recruited" by Muschamp to walk on. He made his official visit the day of that Vandy game. We sat down in the south end zone on those metal bleachers for recruits. It was glaring how bad we were. Vandy was a far superior football team and they knew it. They weren't the least bit excited about winning in the swamp. It was like they were playing Chattanooga. It was sad.

Muschamp pulled my son aside before the game and said he had big plans for him and wanted to bring him in the locker room after the game. We were supposed to meet him in the weight room. We waited for a while. He sent that crazy strength coach out, I forget his name, to tell my son the meeting would not take place. Sad day all around.

Well there was this.....

Mullen, Mason get feisty after UF ejection call

So, if they are such good friends, why did CDM run up the score last year? CDM seldom runs the score up.

Classy, although I'm surprised the Chimp sent out anyone to talk to you at all.

I just checked; the actual spread is 31.5. How high do you think you’d have to go to get 79% picking Vandy to cover? It is interesting the effect of bias.

Then what you're doing is bullshyt as far as picking teams against the spread goes and you are injecting your bias rather than the Vegas odds. You're supposed to let the bettors bias screw up their picks not try to correct them.

I’ve been telling him that for months. Frankly I’m not sure the pressures of running a message board haven’t cracked him. There’s a pattern here, and it’s ugly.

Maybe it will make you and your son feel better to know that on the appointed day Muschamp showed up to meet Spurrier to discuss signing as a player for the Gators, Spurrier decided to go play golf instead.

Everyone is a good friend when they need a job.

Im an ******* regardless...F*** em if they can’t take a joke

5 TDs is a hell of a cover over any team. Our defense is part crap. I'm taking VU if I am forced to make a bet for real $$$
Holla;)

Just to get it to 50/50, I'd probably have to put it at -44.5 or so. For 79% to take Vandy? -54.5. And yes, even there 20+% would take the Gators, even with their own money on the line.

If this is a serious post, then you need to seek professional help. I made it very clear up front that they were my spreads.

We’re all picking the same games with the same spreads so who really cares what the Vegas spread is?

Mehhh.... Vandy. Sorry, they just arent even a blip on the radar.

If we are bad enough to lose to Vandy its time to fire the HBC and the entire AD.

Same things were being said about Kentucky just a few years ago...

In fairness, they’re still being said about Kentucky.
