What games in the top 25 grab me?
Before I get to cogitating, Little James Franklin is at it agayne. He's complaining about the travel time to La-La. Wishes his conference had planned better before adding the four Left Coast teams. Seems the airport in State College is too small to accommodate a full plane for a cross-country trip. Need a big plane for that. Would have preferred trips to West Virginia--at most! Would really prefer all games at Lasch. Don't need a plane a'tall for that! Feels at a disadvantage needing big planes, James does. Need a long runway to go to La-La, too! State College airport's runway is too short for a big plane on a long trip to a big game. Which James don't do too good in big games. Which is why they call him Little Game James. Gotta bus all the way to Harrisburg to get one of them big planes with a big runway.
This is soo Little Game James. And this is a BEEG game. USC is desperate. Lincoln Riley must win this game. The "Trojans" have already lost two, two close 'uns on the road. It's a big game for James, too! 9/4 is Bo Pelini Day. 10/2 is James Franklin Day. In his ten years beside that little airport with the little runway 10-2 is the best that the Fans of Lasch reasonably can hope. 10/2 is their Christmas Day. This season they don't have Jim Harbaugh to torture them. They have Ohio at Lasch. SC is the new Michigan and they ain't Michigan. PSU is -4 in a game that both coaches need badly. Who will Big Game, Lincoln Riley or James Franklin?
Investment cogitations:
My eyes paused on Texas (1) -14.5 vs OU (18) in D.
Paused agayne on FU-Rocky Top (8) -15.5.
Elle Esse Eww (13) Olé Miss (9) -3.5, Pause.
No reaction from my gut to the top 25 games. Do I have to play? No, I don't have to play. A gambler who feels that he has to play is not doing it for fun, he's an addict. Having fun is my narcotic, not winning. Fun to play; more fun to win. Have had a lot of fun this season, up $25. Can't have fun if you don't play. The play's the thing. Will look at the "other" games to see if my gut reacts.
