As I live and breathe, Momma told me there'd be days like this. Last weekend, coming off a 7-1 week, was the gamblers version of, for those who actually play the game, the dreaded "trap game." Oh yeah, you got the chest out, I'm quitting the day job, when the 'ole axiom, "What goes up, must come down", pops into your craw as you carefully look over the menu like some discriminating food critic. Doubts creep in, "Am I really this good?" and you pass on things you might normally select because you're all, "No, that's too obvious", and conversely, you get cute and take bonehead shit like BYU bouncing back from a UCLA asskicking for a "cover" against a Tulsa team that was both quicker and better prepared. UCLA you ask? Uh, next question. So the Lions once again reverted to Lion form, making a 10-point lead disappear to give me a push, which rendered me 3-4-1 for the week. Now, at 15-8-1 ATS for the year, I'm over it. There's GOLD in this weeks "Bill O' Fare!" Get on my back!!

You're laying a lot of points there, Hip.

All favorites?

Truth be told I had a twitch on OSU @ Ty Willingham U. Take the 4.5. I just didn't have the stones to play it. Jake Locker the frosh QB is better than Mallett or Clausen. More in keeping with my charitable mood would have been taking USC and laying the 10 against Big Red. I think they smoke 'em but I couldn't get ZGoshboots, my resident Husker expert (a man who called the Big Red outright Bowl win over U-M on the DetNews board and looked like a fucking seer) on the blower by deadline. Again you can't pick too many. I'm pushing it with 4 in college & pro.

I likey.

I'm a pussy that never bets until after week one to sort out the mess, but I'll be back in it this week and I'm leaning Hipp's Way on quite a few of these.

Who knows? You might help a few of us out. You know the ones....The ones that can't afford a bus ticket out of Detroit. I'll have to by a few as I bring a few old pals with me along for the ride like Fox Mulder, Ben Folds and Banned on the Run.

I'll be back later to post my NFL Picks, Mr. Diggit. I say we have a Book Bet on the record at the end of the year, but we'll have to stipulate the number of picks we go each week. Fuck College. I'll just be riding your coattails(how the eff do I spell that?) on the young fellas.

Raul, it is good to have you here. A refugee from a long, lost world since taken over by la coockarochas.
You are welcome here, my friend. Wash your soul of the old place: desperate, barren, and waylayed by the soul less, those who roam the intranets searching for themselves, and finding it amid the dregs of hypocrisy,lies, and constructed reality.

So George W. forms a complete sentence, monkeys fall out of trees, the blind squirrel finds the occasional acorn and 'Ole Hip plunges just below the "Mendoza Line" (to pillage from the fat headed Chris Berman). IT HAPPENS!! Purdon't and Indy blow cozy leads to shove me off the plank and render me 3-4-1 for the week. For those following along at home that is 18-12-2 on the year. The way I look at it, I've got 'em right where I want them and I've got this negative piece of business off the books. This is a marathon, not a stinkin' sprint. Thank God. Moving forward…

Coach Leavitt has these guys perched for national recognition and I think he fully expects to win this thing outright. The +7.5 is the gravy.
TAKE USF + 7.5

Nice call, Hip.

Okay class, today, as I look back on last weekend’s exercise in futility, I keep thinking of the word "patient." You are all literary souls, as evidenced by the fact that you are reading this hideous column, so you know that it can mean two things. 1.) A patient is anyone receiving care or treatment. 2.) To be "patient" is to endure trying circumstances. How about I cop to all of the above? I "kiss sis'" and go 4-4 on the week which brings me to a very respectable 22-16-2 or 58% "Against the Spread", thus far. However, I've been getting "dinged" by showing my largess in laying points with heavy favorites only to have them fall asleep at the wheel due to the tedium induced by comatose opponents. Note Pur-don't jumping out to a 23 point lead against the Fainting Irish and OSU doing same to Minny-ha-ha and both not finishing. This shit makes for very trying circumstances, and if it continues, I will be a patient soon at the Caro State Home, where the only thing that I will have that reminds me of football will be the helmet on my dome as I stand out by the fence. Ahem, moving forward!
