12/16 College Hoops (55-42-4 YTD)

HoosierDaddy · Dec 16, 2003

1-2 last night.

2 plays tonight (tread lightly):

Utah (+7)
LSU has played all cupcakes. The Utes are undervalued b/c they were blown out by Texas Tech and UConn in New York.

Denver (-6')
LMU comes off a tough OT loss at UCLA (they should have won). I feel that it drained them and Denver is pretty solid at home.

really dont like that LSU one...

They have played no one but have been waiting for this ESPN game to really shine. These guys should be good this year--dont let the cupcakes fool ya.

I'll be getting on that Denver play..was waiting on you before I called the man ...

Thanks !

Is LSU on Christmas Break? Is it a sellout tonight. I forgot breaks start now a lot of these teams have a tough time filling the gyms. That being said I don't think they have much of a problem at LSU, but that Denver game maybe. GL

Taking a 2 team teaser with LSU and Chat. Tenn.
I don't think Utah is road tested as of yet. I also like the fact that Utah is due for a subpar game against a superior opponent since they have feasted on bottom feeders lately. LSU has not played since Nov. 29th and should come out fired up and ready to play against someone other than themselves finally. Bogut is pretty good for a Freshman but he won't be able to carry Utah on the road. Lloreda could have another big night for LSU. They also should be able to hit free throws tonight since they have had two weeks to continually practice on them at home.

Congrats to those who won tonight

Is that supposed to be a slap in the face to me, sportsmonitor? I'm sorry I'm not winning enough for all of you. I am doing the best I ****ing can. Back off!

Schouest · Dec 16, 2003

Keep at it Daddy..I always like to follow you..you'll be fine !!

Hoosier-
No slap in the face at all toward you or anyone else....sorry you took it that way. It's the only thread I posted my picks in so I was just giving congrats to all those who won. Many people were on Utah tonight so there was absolutely no negative intentions toward you personally. You pick games just fine and definately don't need my two cents. I just found the first thread about LSU/Utah when I first logged on and posted what I felt about the game which just so happened to be your post. I like to post in other peoples threads to hopefully find someone who will engage in conversation. It gets rather boring when I start my own thread and nobody responds, but I will start my own from now on as I do not want to offend anyone in this forum. There are many good cappers on this site including you and enjoy reading everyones posts. Take Care.

I'm sorry I took it the wrong way. I, like many others, take losing streaks personally. I just got done losing both games and saw your post and thought it was a dig at me.

I don't want to run you off of my threads. I know what you mean by posting and getting no responses. Most of my threads get zero responses.

Sorry about that.

I started my own post tonight about Loyola Chic. and Clev. St. but I bet it won't garner very many views let alone very many responses.

Hoosier Daddy,

I have been following your picks and you have been doing very good job. All of us from time to time take it on the chin. On Saturday, I had a 5-14-1 day. If you take Saturday out of my record I am 23-17-1 so I can understand. The best cappers are those that make it thru the good time and tough times without getting too high or too low. At the end of the season, the cream will have risen to the top. Good luck.
