On TFTB’s newest show, All Purpose Garbage, I made my picks from the gut, an honorable move that took me into the stratosphere that is college football fandom. The positive is that I’m here and fully invested in the college football universe and man, it feels good. The downside, I seem to have a lot to learn. Thankfully I missed picks my first week, otherwise Smalls would have never lived down the fact that I just started caring about College Football a few years ago and still reigned supreme.
I think this is a positive that I went 4/14 week one. I took some risks, trusted some rats and had a Come To Jesus moment with my need to take the over. I’m absolutely going to take the over every time I get that itch, but I now know that there’s certain children on those football fields that I just can’t trust. Children and coaches at this point.
UNC -5.5 + Under 63.5 – Hit the Under
Clemson -3 + Over 49.5 – Oops
Wisconsin -5.5 + Over 49 – Oops
Iowa -3.5 + Over 46.5 – Iowa hit, the over did not
Alabama -18.5 + Over 61.5 – Alabama hit, the over did not
Texas -8 + Over 57.5 – Texas hit, the over did not
LSU -2.5 + Under 64.5 – Oops
I would like the record to show I know this isn’t the best look and feel for our new show. I was disappointed in myself, trust me. It’s frustrating when you come in and win only 4 of your bets, but on the plus size that’s around a 29% success rate, which is much, much higher than everyone who didn’t bet. Think about that one nerds.
