Let's Get Ready to Gamble!!!!

LET’S GET READY TO GGGAAAMMMMBBBBBBLLLLLEEEE!!

Gentlemen, the long gambling winter from the end of March Madness to the coming of Lord Football (known as baseball season) has finally ended.  In mere minutes, Season II of the Major League Lock Club will kick off.  Gone are Well Tea, Monty, Packy, and Cento (an absolute last minute scratch).  In are the TOMizzle, The Whole F’N Show, Brother of Nugg, Golf Coach, and New Guy. Can they fill the shoes of the recently departed?  Let’s hope so for f-s sake – they ain’t exactly big shoes.

Things get started with three noon games – Michigan -3.5 (Captain) on ABC, Maryland -7.5 (CDes/Bink) on Big Ten Network, and UConn -7 (Dirty D) on CBSSports.  Our fourth game is at 12:30 – Clemson -17.5 (Uncle PJ) on ESPN3.  Our most popular Saturday pick – THE Notre Dame Fighting Irish -11.5 (Meehoe, Gladiator, and The King) – is a 3:30 start on ABC.  Also at 3:30, we have Georgia Tech -29 (The Whole F’N Show) on ESPN3 and an Ohio State University -39.5 (New Guy) on the Big Ten Network.  ‘Bama -35.5 (Hitman) kicks off shortly thereafter at 4 on the SEC Network.  The evening games feature Southern Meth -4.5 (Silky Johnson) on ESPN3 and Ball State +30 (Golf Coach) on ESPNU at 7.  Brother of Nugg will be scouring the internet in an effort to find ESSN so he can watch the mighty Bearcats of Cincinnati -6.5 battle at 8. At that same time, Nebraska -27 (TOMizzle) will continue regretting the firing of Fasbender’s all-time favorite coach on the Big Ten Network.  Finally, the night cap will focus on the Mississippi State Bulldogs +4 doing battle at 9:15 on the Mothership – which is nice as it gives time for Gator to get all of his hoes out on the street for what should be a lucrative evening.

As I wrote in an earlier email, I added an extra tab to the Excel sheet that contains the All-Time results for the league.  Some of our departures hold some impressive records:  Cento has the record for both worst record and lowest unit total (both records are for single season and all-time).  Well Tea holds the mark with an impressive -10 penalty points.  He also was the worst at predicting Saturday scores ATS.  At the opposite end of the spectrum you have CDes/Bink and Silky Johnson who proved to be the best at predicting today’s matchups. Silky Johnson currently also holds the record for most units won from college games.

Fun fact:  No one has ever lost their first pick of the year and gone on to win the championship.

And with that, let’s do this…
