Week 2 NCAA thread

[MicroBob]

I'm leaning Memphis -3.5 as well.
They seemed somewhat impressive in their close-call with Ole Miss.
This is more of a revenge game for Memphis than I think some people realize. That loss they took to Ark St last year at their home-field really stung and embarassed them and I can guarantee they've been looking forward to this rematch a ton.
Very much agree with NateDogg's take on their motivation factor being through the roof.

I'm on Navy +17 tonight as well fwiw.

Still haven't taken WV yet.
Would really like to get that off the 24.

UAB/FSU total now at 53.5. Really moved against me.

I'd like to add a little, BUT THERE IS NO WAY HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO GET ANY [censored] MONEY INTO [censored] MATCHBOOK.

Did you know Bookmaker charges a $200 (!) flat fee to transfer to Matchbook? And Greek is making me rollover my deposit THAT I ONLY DEPOSITED TO TRANSFER TO MATCHBOOK before I can do anything... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]...AND NONE OF MY [censored] CREDIT CARDS WORK ANYMORE, THANKS FOR KEEPING ME SAFE US GOV'T.

Edit: And also, WHY IN THE !$#!#$#$! !$#!$#!#$ DO THESE SPORTSBOOKS LIST SOME VAGUE "MONEY TRANSFER" OPTION INSTEAD OF JUST PUTTING $#!@$#!@$# MONEYGRAM SO I DON'T HAVE TO CALL AND PLAY 20 QUESTIONS WITH SOMEONE WHOSE 5TH LANGUAGE IS ENGLISH TO FIGURE OUT WTF IS GOING ON?!?!?

Can somebody explain to me why every analyst is touting LSU's stadium like it's the best homefield ever? Didn't they have like a ~10 year streak w/ Alabama where the road team won like every single game? Didn't they lose to a mediocre Florida team at home the year they won the NC? Didn't they choke away a 3 TD lead at home vs. Tennessee a couple years ago?

You forgot the fact that most analysts have selective memory and don't know squat about 75% of what they say.

probably because they've seen a game there

I've been to many stadiums (most of the famous ones) and nothing comes close to the atmosphere at LSU for a night game

[iggymcfly]

Good one, MyTurn. It's not like the numbers don't bear out a large home advantage for LSU though anyway. The last 3 years, LSU's 20-1 at home and 9-4 on the road. Over the last 7 years, you can make that 43-6 vs. 20-11.
