I'm sure the ducks wanted the Green, but between the NCAA and the networks, also the coin toss for the ???home field and who would wear colors, Ducks probably had no choice.

Don't know who will win. But I played under first half(36.5) and over for the game (72.5). Depending on how the first half goes and the points for second half, I could still bailout the game. Friendly wager among others, I picked Ohio State to win.
Urban Meyer man. Three teams, many championship caliber games, even with third string QB. Vegas doesn't have the balls to offer a bigger spread.
I plan on retiring tonight. Haha

The beautiful thing about playing under. Run game and field goals. What makes it even nicer is the run game, eat up the clock, march the entire field and turnover.

Uh...did somebody kidnap the Oregon Ducks team and replace them with the Denver Broncos? This looks like the same team I watched 'play' last night...
-
Second half is 38.5 and Oregon gives 6. I played over for the game which is 72.5. There is a three point differential between the second half and the game. If I were gung ho and believe the game will go over, I will play over second half. I am going to play it safe and play under and keep my first half earnings. If the total score is between 69.5 and 72.5, the three point differential, then everyone is screwed. Haha

I don't understand ANY of that gambling lingo with sports, it's like people are talking Klingon. If I ever wanted to start betting on games I'd have to take a class first :-)
-
Hehehe. It's not gambling, it is a calculated risk, hahaha. 38.5 second half is the sum of both teams points. Spread is one team giving another points.
With that said. It requires calculating the personalities of the coaches, weather,, pretty much all key positions. But that is the lesser of the overall calculations. It is all a numbers game to me. -
Stats is about half of my job and plays a big role in the fantasy leagues I play in, so I could easily get into that part, I'd just have to learn all the terminology first.
-
-
Stats is my life, as I am a slave to it at work. The same way i am looking to reinvest in the energy sector to further diversify.
Anyhow. Playing under second half to offset the game was a good call.
Halen -
Yeah. Urban Meyer. He made a piss on Tebow without an ounce of QB talent what he is. 3rd string with some skills. Yeah.
Bad ****. -
HELL of a game by Ohio State tonight, unbelievable year for those guys. I'm not sure what the hell happened with Oregon, I guess that's why they're the Ducks :-)
On a side note:
I've not really watched many Oregon games this year, but have to admit I'm not impressed at all by Mariota. I don't get what all the hype is about, is he injured or something tonight? He didn't have a bad throw here or there tonight and didn't have any interceptions, hell that would have been an upgrade over what we just saw, he didn't really do much of anything.
It's not fair to judge a guy based on one game, but he looked about as effective as Manning did against the Colts...
What am I missing? -
That was a country **** whoopin! Four turnovers and still won by 22? Wooohoooooo! Go Bucks!
-
Whooooooooopphoooopppppppppppppoooooooooooooooooooooooo

There are numerous "athletes" that gets rewarded. It is a hype system. Look how well they performed to the hype. Hype generates and drives the NFL. At most first year or two.

Go Buckeyes!!! They played some great defense tonight. Coughed the ball of 4 times and still only allowed 20pts. Oregon only had one real impressive drive their first one. All of their other points came from turnover opportunities. Although some of those turnovers left them with a long field so credit to them for those. Hats off to the Buckeyes though, they settled down in the second half and stopped the turnover problem. I think we only had one punt all game. Boy, what a fun night...Oh, Listen here mister.

Mariota has been a stud in that system. Not great tonight and I don't really think he's an NFL QB, but a fantastic college career. Usually able to run, pass, great decision making, whatever it takes. From everything I've ever heard or read, a great human being as well. You are correct though Danny, very underwhelming tonight.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden -
To me he seems like another Tim Tebow, except without the championships. We all know how that worked out, Tebow is working for ESPN covering the game tonight instead of playing in the NFL.
-
I say that's what Oregon gets for not wearing their usual uniforms tonight...
-
I'm glad for the Big Ten.
-
I think both the 49ers and the Broncos will regret their recent decisions concerning head coach.
-
Looks like dark days ahead for Broncos fans, granted I've said before that I'm not a big a fan of Fox but to completely clean house like that...shocker to say the least.
I assume that with the housecleaning Manning is also done in Denver, and can't really see him coming back for yet another team so assume we've seen the last of him, period.
On Saturday I'm hoping the Ravens can hang on to beat the Patriots so that Denver gets the AFC title game in their stadium, 48 hours later the team is done for the season and apparently in complete disarray, truly unbelievable. -
One would think that before cleaning house you would have a suitable replacement already in the fold. Apparently not the case in S.F., and I wonder about Denver also. I tend to agree this foreshadows Mannings' departure.
-
@nooshinjohn I see Payton sticking around a bit longer, but regardless he will sign a one day deal with the Colts and retire under the right team, the Colts. Just like they did with Jeff Saturday, another class act.
I have nothing but appreciation for what he did for our team and the leader he was and still is, even if its for the wrong team.
That said I think its time for our "Luck" to change, so I see a Colts win and a Superbowl in our future!"....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963) -
The first strike against Fox was the conservative ending to the 2013 loss to Baltimore. Strike two was all the mistakes from the Super Bowl. Strike three was the heartless effort on Sunday. Fox is a good man, a solid coach who creates a calm atmosphere, but his one weakness is in-game flexibility.
Elway is a very driven, type A guy. He brought in guys on the defensive side to shore up a weakness, but the killer instinct over all went MIA. If Kubiak takes the reins and DelRio leaves, look for Dennis Allen to come back as DC. As for Manning, he should see the writing on the wall and retire. Don't be surprised if Elway dangles a number #1, #4, and Julius Thomas at Tampa Bay for the rights to Marcus Mariotta as it is obvious that Osweiller is slow in his decision-making by average QB standardsReview Site_ (((AudioPursuit)))

Even though I've lived in Oregon for 16 years, I'm not a vested Duck fan. But I can tell you that Mariotta is no Tebow. He can read defenses and go thru progressions (despite what the idiot Skip Bayless said last night). His passing percentage was 68.3% for the year. The Duck offense is incredibly complicated so he has the football mind and quick decision-making.
The most interesting thing is his humility, before the season the Oregon press department asked him what kind of weekly report packets he wanted sent out to Heisman voters. Mariotta told them NONE! Zero promotion. This is the guy every dad wants their daughter to marry.

That has nothing to do with class...passionate fans celebrating...no harm done...no big deal. Go Bucks!!!

Congrats to OSU even though we still don't like you! lol
Tebow? You know if Tebow really had that so-called Christian humility he would have allowed himself to be converted to a DIFFERENT position rather than being so "PRIDEFUL" that it had to be QB or nothing. Anyone remember where PRIDE comes from, by any chance? lol
