Sitting here wondering how in the hell that ended up not covering.
So who else got cornholed with Cal +2?
- Thread starter Sound of Silence
- Start date
I had Cal +2 @ +105 and Cal ML +118.
Cornholed to say the least...

I don't think I would have been near as mad had UCLA converted the 2pt conversion to go up by 3 as I was when they punched in the meaningless TD to go up by 7. I was hoping for a UNLV/Baylor 1999 redux, but it wasn't to be.

I had UCLA -2. A two point conversion would have been easier to handle.

I had both teams +2, with a lean on Cal. Stars were not aligned there. Next.
Best Wishes...OF :+waving-5
Railed the Texas Tech game when I had no chance with 4th down pick, oops, fumble. It balanced out.

wtf, I dealt cali at -1.5 yesterday
I got the "worst" line UCLA-2 and still won. Sometimes better to be lucky than good.
Cal is a lot better than I thought they were. But UCLA is very good. Been trying to tell you guys that all year. Since they basically only had to win to cover they were a "safe' bet yesterday.
Only when they are laying the wood do you have to be careful with them.

Yes I know I bet the games early. I was "wrong" on that one. I lost a bit as I could have bet UCLA on the ML for an extra 20 cents or so over vig.
I just figured the line would go the other way. Sometimes it happens that way. A win is a win, move on.

I wish I was only cornholed once yesterday.
Had more backdoors against me than Richard Simmons on a Saturday night.:smoke

I didn't bet that game, but I watched the end of it, and was thinking about everyone who had bet it. What a tough way to end it (if you had Cal).
Honestly, from a pure game standpoint, the Cal coach should have had his team let them score right away (about 50 seconds left) to let them go up by 8 and get the ball back.
He knew he only had 2 timeouts left, and that even if UCLA didn't score they'd be able to run the clock down.

That was one of those games that I just convinced myself that UCLA got the 2pt conversion a few minutes earlier and that is what cost me... At least that play made sense.
Regarding the Baylor/UNLV comment -- back in 1999 in Kevin Steele's first game as Baylor head coach, Baylor was up 24-21 on the UNLV 8 with the clock running and 5 seconds left. UNLV had no timeouts. Obviously a take a knee situation.
Baylor instead ran a dive play to the right to try and punch it in -- the ball was stripped and UNLV's Kevin Thomas returned it 101 yards for the winning touchdown.

I had the Bears on the ML. But, that's what happens when you kick field goals instead of score touchdowns in the red zone.
On a side note, I checked out the Bay area papers this morning and about threw up when I saw the yardage and first down differences.
Cal~535 total yards
UCLA~388 total yards
Cal~27 first downs
UCLA~16 first downs
