Remember
I set the bar at $20,000. The winner has to get over $20,000 to win. I did that to encourage some action. I may lift that if I'm satisfied in the level of participation. So far I'm quite pleased.

Outback Bowl Experience
As requested by Mike, I want to share with all a few interesting things I noticed while being in Tampa for the Outback Bowl...

To start, I should let you know that I am a member of the Penn State Blue Band. As a result the NCAA picks up the tab for me and 300 of my friends. (No one can complain about a free trip!) Tampa was flooded with Penn State fans, but I would say that Tennessee fans slightly outnumbered the PSU fans. It was also interesting to see numerous schools represented. In town I spotted fans from all over the south and SEC, but especially large groups of Big Ten fans from Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Michigan. To my suprise, it was clear that Ohio State fans in the stadium were supportive and loyal to Penn State and the Big Ten.

It should also be noted that fans from the "Big Orange" have nothing on Nittany Nation. Their fans had absolutly no enthusiasm throughout the game. PSU fans would start the WE ARE chant while UT fans would practically sit on their hands. Also, I must comment on how annoying Tennessee fans can be with their "Rocky Top" fight song. A fellow friend of mine counted the song being played 22 times throughout the game.

As for the game itself, I feel one of the x-factors that was overlooked was the weather during the game. A rainy afternoon clearly helped the Lions. The rain slowed downed UT's passing game which resulted in a few dropped passes and may have contributed to their early turnover on the reverse.

Although the Outback Bowl didn't carry the same excitement as the Orange Bowl, the experience and atmosphere was incredible. After being in South Bend and Columbus to see the Lions fall, it felt great to finally get a Top 25 win away from Beaver Stadium. If Morelli can keep the momentum from this win into the off season, I think there is a real possibility that a trip to Pasadena could be in the cards. We can only wait and see....

Notre Dame can suck it!
So, I'm sitting comfortably in second place and should make a nice safe bet to try and take the lead - at least that's what conventional wisdom says.  I say TO HELL WITH THAT!  BET THE F'IN HOUSE ON LSU!  

LSU - $13,500 - Suck on that Notre Dame!

I didn't come here to win by a couple bucks baby, I came here to crush the competition!  I will live and die by the Irish!  GO TIGERS!!!

Don't you love play money?
Nice dig at Notre Dame to boot. I don't see CW putting any money on his Irish yet.

Sugar Bowl
No time for weak bets.

$13,000 on the over tonight.  I've got a good feeling, but I'd feel better if I could bet on the basketball game tonight.
