- Thread starter John Kelly
- Start date
Here's hoping YISMAN will get involved in "The EOG Octagon" early next year.
YIS will be our featured handicapper next month in BOTH the sports and horse racing editions of EOG's Grand Challenge.
For the uninitiated, YISMAN is a fabulous contest player with a long history of success.

Agree with KANE......had lots of fun watching Coach Leech eat it......
WSU was living the lie....
WSU was living the lie....
Though credit WSU for its 10-2 record straight-up and more impressively 10-2 AGAINST THE SPREAD.

This is the mistake I made, I didn’t consider Leach’s record in a big game. I didn’t make that mistake with HarFraud today.

FW, something I like doing is taking a team as a dog if they own the series. Going into yesterday V Tech had beaten Virginia something like 15 straight times, and they were a HD, same with Wash over WSU, and today with OSU getting points at home in a series they have owned .

Interesting, I'd think 67% and 60% tells a better story. Either way, line move seems irrelevant as to picking a winner.
Final score: 71-63, Santa Clara.
Birdie stands at 14-9.
Threes is 11-11-1.
Both men with seven selections remaining.

Both men are averaging about a play a day.
I like the psychology behind the posting of the selections.
Here's my favorite rule of the competition: Once a contestant posts a selection, neither the contestant nor the opponent can submit a play on or against said selection.
All 30 plays must be complete by Friday, November 30.
New York Giants-Philadelphia Eagles total now at 50.5 at CGT.

Par for the course.....
Final score: Eagles 25 Giants 22.
Tough loss to stomach.
Too many 3's, not enough 7's.
Hang in there.
