Dear FMQ,
How far we have fallen that Vegas believes these "football powers" have better chances of winning against their ranked opponent this week than Michigan does.
Michigan +17.5 vs #5 Michigan State
Kentucky +13.5 vs #1 Mississippi State
Washington State + 2.5 vs #15 Arizona
Tennessee +17 vs #6 Alabama
Colorado +14 vs #25 UCLA
Illini +5.5 vs #24 Minnesota

My response?
A long way.....A Damn Long Way....
That's how far....

BranDictator
Tweets
I suspected BranDictator couldn’t be quiet that long and
he would be the one who would “announce” the official reduction of the Student
Ticket Prices for 2015. And he tweeted
it, the first tweet since the midnight tweet after the concussion press
release. If you follow BranDictator,
there’s a dedicated group of response tweeters that are more or less telling
him to get lost. Some are written quite
well, others, as you might expect, not so much.
At any rate, the Student Tix price dropped from the $295 level to $175,
or $25 for a home game.
So, if I’m doing the math right, the students always got
a 50% discount from the face value of the tickets. Does that mean I can expect my season ticket
to drop to $350 for the same 7 games?
Ha-ha….probably not. There was
some comment that “prices for regular season ticket holders would not increase.” Yeah…thanks a lot. You’ll probably not get my renewal come the
winter-spring.
#SpartansForLacey
– CHADTOUGH
Submitted by a reader of the Blog. Both of these stories are tough. Lacey’s battle ended this past spring, but
Chad’s battle continues.
Doug Karsch, our beloved side-line reporter (Michigan’s)
is actually, believe it or not, a SPARTY GRAD!!! He is heading up this activity and is
spreading the word:
Doug Karsch contacted me yesterday about our fundraising
efforts for #SpartansForLacey and has chosen to promote our cause (as the MSU
charity) for their "bet" for the game this weekend. The uofm charity
supports Lloyd Carr's grandson and his fight with cancer. The show is betting
on their own and will be donating to both causes. They are encouraging their
listeners to make their normal bets with friends, but regardless of the
outcome, donate to both these great causes in the end. More details below.
Here’s the links to the charities!
This Week’s Picks!
Brother…What is a good sports bettor to
do? I’m really baffled lately and I
haven’t been able to put even a break even week together in some time. The bank is nearly broken, but hopefully, we
can rally to the end of the season. (Do
I sound like Coach Hoke or what?)
Maryland @ Wiscy (-10.5): Wiscy coming off a bye week is 8-0 since 2009…Even
better? Wiscy off the bye week is 8-0
ATS!!! That’s enough for me…
Take Wiscy and lay the 10.5 for $40
UCLA @ Colorado (+14): So, UCLA barely beat Cal and they can’t seem
to find an offense, no matter how hard they try. And this is their 2nd week on the
road? I’ll
Take Colorado and the 14 for $30
Miss State (-14) @ Kentucky:
Is the new number 1 team for real or are they
chokers? My guess is they used the bye
week to get healthy and get ready for the Wildcats.
Take Miss State and lay the 14 for $40
Ole Miss @ LSU (+3.5): The Hatter getting Points at Home?
Against a suspect defense? Yeah…I’ll
take Les and hope for the beginning of the end of the SEC West!
Take LSU and the 3.5 for $40
Michigan (+17) @ Sparty (MONEY LINE - $600): I know I’ve said it would
take a miracle for Michigan to win…but dammit, this used to be the time when I
would say that it’s going to take a miracle for Sparty to pull off a victory…and
they’d do something stupid and pull it off.
So
Take Michigan and the 17 for $30.
AND $20 on the MONEY LINE (Pays 6-1)
Starting Bank: $564
Total Bet: $200
Bank: $364
