      half right. They're gonna run all over each other all day. Entering in case this factors towards Widestrides tabulations, aiming once again for 50%. Midshipmen, Bowl secured but more importantly with no chance of winning the coveted Commander's Trophy that they've owned for the last 2 years and 9 of the last 11 but have now lost to Air Force, get (somewhat) challenged in this spot by an Army squad that usually performs terribly off rest (their last game Nov 22) but is uniquely motivated here by Navy AD Gladchuk disrespecting Army after Army got trapped in really thick fog and was unable to make the press conference.

      Week 9 of this contest I was teetering on the edge, win or get booted out of the contest, I called upon Army, they saved me. +3 vs. UCONN they beat 'em outright 35-21. Army Black Knights.

      I do reckon I'm gonna need about 12 of that +15.

      GLTA & Happy Holidays. It was an honor and a privilege to compete against you.

          Good Lord. What have we come to? Sincerely. And its nothing even remotely like what you're researching in the IPA study I'll bet. If it were maybe we could find some glimmer of sense in this but thats just utterly ridiculous. How do people even afford to go to Public Events anymore? Really. "Parking-$80.00 in all stadium cash lots" What planet is this? I'm actually embarrassed by $12 for a beer, I don't know why but $80 to park just ignites rage. The game is in Baltimore, Maryland not Manhattan or Abu Dhabi. How can $80 to park be justified? The word "Government" is probably somewhere in the answer to that question.

          Thanks for the vote of confidence K-man. I was gun shy to add not wanting to tip a contender in any certain direction based on a hardass Naval AD and fog.

          I've presented what might very well be the squarest of angles on this one: Navy flat having secured bowl, lost cup + double digit dog in rivalry game but, as the line suggests, Navy the much more "competent" squad and as my sub 500 record in this contest suggests, I generally land on the wrong side of these things.

          Hope that the Research is continuing along smoooooothly.

                          Trivia answer: (not that anyone asked) The rattlesnake pictured on the "Don't tread on me" flag is a Timber rattlesnake.

                          The total has been bet down to 55.5.

                              Line closed at NAVY -16.5.
                              Total went as low as 54 this morning, but moved up to close at 55.5.
