ALL HAIL Northern Illinois! JV Shempionship Evening Thread

Oh my cats.  They really, really did it!  Northern Illinois’ 700 pound coach and his JV charges redeemed their only single-digit MAC loss (they were 6-1 in such contests), cashing in Hippo’s September prop bet.  $20 at 250 to 1, which is $5K for the maths non-inclined.  Nobody told you there would be no maths, there is ALWAYS MATHS!

At time of writing, Team Secular Big Love State holds a 14-3 lead over the JV BOLTMEN!  If that holds, then a prop bet from the same day would pay out $2K ($20 at 100 to 1).

Question for the class – if I do hit both, is TODAY the best day of my life, or was it the day I placed the wagers?

Anyway, strap in fuckos.  It’s all downhill from here.

Michigan (-12.5) v. Iowa @ The Gravy Boat (8:00, Fox)

I warn y’all – tOSU’s backdoor shenanigans potential is IN PLAY, should the Hawkeyes win.  SPOILER ALERT – they will nae.  I always (well, since like age 22 when I met him) had a soft spot for Team Cornpone, because we had a cat named Hawkeye.  He was a total badass, built like a linebacker.  Jet black.  Like an actual panther, this fella.  He is the first cat I considered my son, though I married into being his dad.  And yes, I did ask him if it was ok to propose to his human mother.  Hawkeye thought it over, then came back purring.  Fuck, I miss that Hawkish man.

Long story short, I am high on cough syrup.

Pittsburgh (JV) (-3.5) v. Wake Forest @ Richardson Plantation (8:00, ABC)

HARF, The Ben retires.  Will they draft Kenny Pickett to replace him?  Enquiring minds really don’t give a fuck.  Deacons is being all disrespected by Vegas, as THEY aren’t the title match participant who lost (at home, no less) to a sub-.500 MAC team.  Whatever you do, must NOT bet the under.  These defensing units are as optional as it gets.

Southern Cal (+4.5) at Cal (11:00, FS1)

The most meaningless Tweaker Fixture in the history of humanity.  Both teams looking…to finish 5-7.  I’m sure there will be dozens of people in attendance.  DOZENS!!
