Now see, this is what I'm talkin' about. I can't possibly
make a college football bet with the boy lawyer from Nawth
Cackalacky based on the point spreads because the point
spreads for Illinois are consistently insane. The unranked
Illini play the #5 Wisconsin Badgers this weekend and the
Illini are 2.5 point *favorites* !!!! Holy **** ! What the
F*** !! I wouldn't take that bet if we were only *given*
three points much less the other way around.

It's no wonder cases of booze and wine flow from Illinois
to the home of the Tar Heels. It's a conspiracy I tell ya.

i will have to admit that i might just take the badgers and the
points--for my immortal soul. still, when the bookies do something like
that, **** often hits the fan. zook may have recruited him a bunch of
terrific athletes, as he did at fla.

wayno(btw, the heels have covered 4 out of 5)

I know, and Illinois only 2 out of 5. I'm glad I opted out
this year, first smart year for me in a long time. ;-)

The Illini do look a lot better this year, but they're
very young and I still don't know if Zook can coach anywhere
near as well as he can recruit.

Good thing you didn't bet anything valuable. ;-)

OK, the 2007 Illini are for real. Who knew. Besides the bookies,
I mean. I still find it hard to believe.

OSKEE WOW WOW !!

I'll say this... I can't remember the last time both Illinois AND
North Carolina both had wins like this on the same day. It has
certainly been since long before ROFF degenerated into the meaningless
little puddle of **** it is today.

And to think I was switching channels back and forth rooting for
*both* of them.

Is that anyway for a Mormon to talk?

Some of us see ROFF as a limitless pool of knowledge. It's all about
attitude, I guess?

See, I *knew* there was a reason I resigned my membership in that cult
but until now I wasn't sure why. Turns out it was because I wanted to
be able to say "****" without getting grief for it. Thanks for the
revelation

Good point. But with stream levels as low as they are these days, can
you blame me?

Hell, cursin' and swearin' ain't even the fun part. I always
figured you'd loosen up quite nicely with a beer or six. ;-)
