My Bet With Legal

[FloridaPoke]

Miami -10 against the Goons..............Is looking better and better.

[legelegel]

There were no fumbles or intercepts in the Georgia Tech - Miami game. I didn't watch the game, but it appears from the stats that Miami manhandled them on the both sides of the line of scrimmage.

I would advise uo not to get too far behind early against Miami. Sounds like they are a front runner.

I still see the Sooners two weeks off before the game as a positive.

[legelegel]

The bet: http://www.ostatesports.com/community/showthread.php?t=11492

I've been thinking about the game, ex-Fla.Poke-to-be.

This sense of hope that I'm feeling for Saturday night, is it false or not?

[FloridaPoke]

I think if Bradford plays, you win the bet. If Pornstache plays, I win the bet.

[legelegel]

We should know who is going to start by Wednesday late.

[OSUFan]

Weekly status on Bradford

Monday - Stoops declares he will not discuss Bradford's chances of playing this week

Tuesday - At his weekly press conference, Stoops gives no update on Bradford

Wedesday - No update on Tuesday's update that Bradford will or will not play

Thursday - No update from Wednesday's update but there could be an update tomorrow

Friday - No update from Thursday's update on whether Bradford's status would be updated but an update will run along the bottom of your tv screen if they hear anything

Saturday morning - same report as Friday night but worth repeating

[SeaOfOrange]

So.....forgive me...I don't bet.

Miami needs to win by 11 for FloridaPoke to win and if they win by 10 it's a push?

Sadly, I think UO wins by 2 TD's.

I'm sure FloridaPoke doesn't expect a Push to result in a tie and a no winner in our bet, and neither do I.

I'll let FloridaPoke explain who wins in our bet if Miami wins straight up by 10 points.

The current line is Oklahoma -7, but in our bet Oklahoma is obviously the underdog.

[OSUFan]

I'd be happy with a push. It still would mean Miami won.

Correct.

And I still think Miami can win big if they play like they have before last weekend.......and if pornstache is uo's QB. If Bradford plays, I think uo will win.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

I think OU rolls them too... maybe even shuts them out.

[pistolpete2002]

No way!! At least I hope not!!!!

[Erick]

I think U's pass rush will give stash some major problems. They inexperienced O line maybe got a little confidence from the past two games, but they are about to be destroyed. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sam back in after Jones takes a few hits.

Or it could be the other way around. If Sam takes a few hits, they may replace him with Jones.

[bleedorange]

I can't fathom any instance where I'd put my money on, and cheer for, the goons. Just creepy.

[FloridaPoke]

Miami had a bad game on the road and all of a sudden they suck. I think their Defense is pretty damned good, especially in the front 7, and their QB is a world beater when he is on.....albeit he was way off last Saturday. If pornstache plays in a hostile environment with a suspect O line, Miami could roll.....if they are "on". If Miami plays like they did last Saturday and/or Bradford plays and is "on", OU could roll. Honestly could go either way.

[WyomingOSUAlum]

"pornstache"


HA !!!!!

[FloridaPoke]

If I lose the bet, does anybody know where I can pick up color coded $20 bills?

[BackHomePoke]

I think if you lose, you should have to grow a pornstache! :huh:

[OSUFan]

You all didn't think much of my Bradford report but Channel 4 previewed sports by saying "What Bob Stoops is saying and not saying about Sam Bradford."

They are going to make news out of no news. It's ridiculous.

[JimBob]

Goons will run the table and play for it all; first lost is forgotten. Book it!:angel:

[Poohness]

May I remind ya'll that JB's track record of predictions sealed with the phrase "book it" is pretty dang good.

[mejake007]

whatever! he hasn't won a TV in two years!!

[legelegel]

I'm getting to the point we will not know until Saturday afternoon if Bradford will be back, whether he starts or is in a standby mode.

Maybe this guy will be the first to know: http://www.sambradford.org/

[legelegel]

Sportsbook.com has Oklahoma -8

[BigBadBen]

Florida, since Bradford isn't starting, your side is looking much better.



Miami will win regardless.

[legelegel]

So.....forgive me...I don't bet.

Miami needs to win by 11 for FloridaPoke to win and if they win by 10 it's a push?

Correct.

FloridaPoke, when I made this private bet with you, I assumed that if there was a push I would lose the bet, because I took the points. I'm sure you will not argue with me on this at this point.

[bleedorange]

Well, we wanted to let you in on the fun.

[FloridaPoke]

Vegas usually doesn't screw up by 18 points. I'm still looking for color coded 20 spots.

Never assumed there would be any blood on a push.

I am trying like hell to understand why the line moved UP on the news that Bradford wouldn't play. Miami played a horrible game on the road in a monsoon without their two best DT's, both of whom will be playing Saturday.

I don't think the U can run very much on OU's D. But if their coaches have any brains, they will expose uo's middle LB's and d backfield all night long by mixing up passes. And on the other side of the ball, I don't think pornstache will have time to take a piss in his pants, let alone eat a sandwich while deciding who to throw to.

[legelegel]

Never assumed there would be any blood on a push.
That's the way my Dad tough me, so as you say there is added chance for me to bleed.
I am trying like hell to understand why the line moved UP on the news that Bradford wouldn't play.
I believe the line was at -8 (-7 1/2 at other locations) long before the announcement of Bradford not playing today. That would mean that people had continued to bet that Bradford was going to play, or they have continued to bet that it didn't matter whether he played or not, thinking uo was going to win with him or without him.

[AnniePokely]

Tell me again why we're talking about uo on a OSU board?

[legelegel]

Tell me again why we're talking about uo on a OSU board?

Well, for one OSU is not playing this week and it's too early to worry about A&M. The other is uo is on our schedule this year and it's never too early to talk about them and their weaknesses and strengths. The last is that there is money on the line here.

Are you trying to tell us to take this to private messaging, Annie?

[AnniePokely]

Oh, well in that case...


:fail:



:ousucksnana:

[FloridaPoke]

Michelle.......tell me this isn't news if OU gets their ass beat Saturday. This board will be all over it. If OU wins, or even worse if the a holes win big, you'll see nothing from any of us. But the speculation of an OU meltdown is most definitely game. Any time.

I bet legalegalegalegal 20 bucks against the Goons and Gave OU +10. If you have a beef, take it up with Legalegalegalegal. LOL

[AnniePokely]

If uo gets beat, I'll be interested. Otherwise, not so much.



Any "OSU" fan spending their money betting on the goons, deserves to lose.


And if i had a huge problem with the thread, it wouldnt be here.

a. You are a lawyer

b. You bet on OU

I rest my case, Your Honor.

And by the way, I have a question for you.

Do you bill your legal clients based on your post count here and other Big 12 sites? Based on the high number of posts (here and elsewhere), and the sheer volume of on-line research that you do to back most of your posts up...

(much appreciated by the way, but most of the time I just scratch my head and wonder how you have a Cray Supercomputer directly tied into the bowels of Al Gore's ass)
....then....

either you are a) retired or b) not retired but business is slow or c) you are the most amazing multi-tasking dude....ever. So I need advice.

I am not retired. But business is very slow. Yet I suck at multitasking. And, I have a following of clients that think I am very smart. How much do I charge them for each post I type here?

As to the multi-tasking, I have two computer screens which is a great plus.

Oh, if you are worried about me paying off on the bet, I'll have the money after I talk to my Mother. She loves me very much and always has a double Sawbuck when I need it.

Not worried about either of us paying the bet off. Actually looking forward to meeting you, but you will have to come by my tailgate at the next game you attend.

Best 20 bucks I've ever spent. And.....if it weren't for Randy Shannon's curtesy on last drive, and the bogus roughing the punter call against Miami, I would've been right on the spread too.

I guess we can all take a shower together afterward if that day comes.

How do you figure "nope"?

How about a friendly 20 spot bet. And a beer or 4 before a game (not part of the bet, I give those away for free anyway)

That is the bet that YOU accepted.

Why don't you just honor that instead of that smarmy "Git yer pen and write me a check right now and send it right here right now" crap.

Smarmy? Well, I'm sorry that you find a need to interpret my message to FloridiaPoke that way. If I wanted anything "right now," I would have e-mailed an address to him by now. Until he asks me for an address, I may not even direct him to one. If I just called off the bet entirely would that satisfy you, bleedorange? I’m betting it would not. And I say hell to any honor you might feel that needs to come from me at this point.

As to interpreting our wager, I believe he and I can obviously read much better that you.

Thank you again for your card. I'm getting quite a collection.

I doubt that. You evidently couldn't read the part about paying up at the tailgate.

It's ok though. You were probably preoccupied with your crayons.

Umm, I looked at the original thread and the bet and legel has it right on this one. You jokingly mentioned giving beers to him, but you did not say he had to collect it at a game. As sad as it is that I guess he loves OSU so much he won't make the drive from OKC to Stillwater to see us play in person, he shouldn't have to collect in person if he doesn't want to.

My kind sir, you are reading a lot between the lines that was never intended, at least by me, to be made part of the bet. It certainly was not expressed in any certain words that I see.

I didn't miss a home game for many years after I finished law school. I had 8 tickets on the 50 yard line in the middle of Section O. I was an original charter season ticket holder in that section. It's hard to explain why I haven't been back to see many games since. There have been a lot of live sports events that I have cut out of my life, mostly due to the loss of my Dad and close friends. I just don't have anyone to go to these events with anymore.

I have made several business trips to Stillwater in the last few years, and I made it a point to go by and see BPS in person.

[FalseGod]

Legel, you have lots of friends to go with at the tailgates. There are two big ones that everyone is welcome to hang out as much as you want. Once you are inside you can meet new friends at your seats.

Don't bring me into this. I never said I wouldn't send him the money by mail. That was others coming to my defense. I did challenge Legel to come to at least one game. But if he wants me to mail him the dough, I would be happy to. $20 to see OU go to Shreveport? Hell, that's priceless.
