Week 5 CFB Review

Posted: September 29th, 2008 | Filed under: Last Decade | No Comments »

Oregon St +24.5 -105 (4) – Winner

Beaver/Trojan Under 52.5 +100 (2) – Winner

I should have parlayed these suckers with the Oregon St money line.

Green Wave/Mustang Under 49 +108 (2) – Loser

Much to my dismay SMU finally decided to show a pulse.

Uconn +3.5 -108 (4) – Winner

Somehow the Huskies were able to survive 2.5 quarters worth of Zach Frazer playing QB.

Indiana +8.5 -109 (4) – Loser

This nightmare set the tone for a weekend of mediocrity. Turnovers, penalties, and a fumble on the final drive of the game kept this one outside of the number.

Ole Miss/UF Under 48.5 -109 (3) – Loser

Totally worth it to see the Gators lose at home.

Ohio St/Minnesota Under 47.5 -102 (2), Ohio St/Minnesota Over 47.5 -108 (2) – Dumbass

This is the sort of thing that will happen when you try to make very important decisions while extremely hungover at 9 AM on Saturday morning.

Texas A&M/Army Under 42 +110 (2) – Winner

I was really looking forward to complaining about this:

Tennessee +6.5 -101 (6) – Winner

This game was just further proof of the S.E.C.’s undeniable awesomeness. What a barn burner.

Florida St -6 -101 (4) – Winner

I am amazed that the 110 penalty yards the Noles racked up never came back to bite me in the ass.

Notre Lame -1.5 -111 (4) – Winner

Probably should have been a much closer game. Whatever.

North Texas +15.5 -102 (4) – Loser

Two fun facts on this one:

Rice scored 77 points without scoring in the 4th quarter
Rice won by 57 despite out gaining UNT by ‘only’ 90 yards

6 Mean Green TO’s put this one out of reach in a hurry.

Michigan +5.5 -110 (4) – Winner

I came very close to passing this shitfest. What a huge break for my psyche.

Georgia -6.5 +101 (6) – Loser

Stafford looked really good in garbage time. Maybe he finally unlocked his massive potential!

TCU/Oklahoma Under 53.5 -105 (2) – Winner

I got negative pleasure from this.

Miss St/LSU Under 40.5 -105 (2) – Loser

These offenses are explosive.

Hawaii/SJSU Under 48 -102 (3) - Winner

I was awake for 00:00 of this beautiful winner.

I gave this post five stars for the question mark and arrow in the TAMU/Army graphic. It took me a few minutes to figure out what that was.

I failed two classes over my entire academic career.

I had to retake Calc my Freshman year of college because I got hammered watching this game:

and missed the final the following morning.

I also failed 6th grade Art class because I am the worst artist in the history of the planet.

Thanks for that heads-up on San Jose St and Hawaii. I was far too drunk from the day of watching games to realize that game hadn’t even started yet when I checked the site at 11:45 EST.

I don’t know if anyone reads comments on old threads, but I feel compelled to mention that I just checked out the recap from Indiana/Michi St.

“But the strangest, and most important play, came late in the third quarter when Indiana’s backup quarterback, Ben Chappell, connected with Terrance Turner for a 97-yard touchdown pass that appeared to give Indiana the lead. Instead, right guard Cody Faulkner was called for holding in the end zone, giving Michigan State a safety and a 36-29 lead.”

Didn’t know that. Wish I didn’t.

Eric,

It wasn’t all that painful live because on TV you saw the ref throw the flag before the pass left the QBs ahnd.
