Official Auburn vs FSU thread!

Still only an 11 point game

Plenty of time left too.

One thing is for sure - barring a miracle turnaround all that talk about Winston being the undisputed #1 pick next year can simmer down now.

Facing NFL level speed is wilting him completely. He looks slow and uncertain.

I haven't watched much college football, but Winston is awful under pressure. There is no way he looks like a #1 pick in this game.

Yeah, and he lacks even average quickness. He's so ponderous.

Interesting/worthless stat of the game.

Team leading at half in the BCS championship game has never lost.

But that is only what, 15 games? I believe it started in 99.

The spider-cam view on ESPN3 is neat. No commentary and no commercial. Just like a real life Madden game.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Mental blunder by FSU there.

 

[Ferzerp]

Well, I guess it's not *exactly* like last year's game

 

[Fingolfin269]

At this point FSU could still win and cover the spread. Auburn's next drive may set the pace for what's going to happen in the last 11 minutes here.

HAHAH THIS GUY!!!

 

[Fingolfin269]

I'm going to feel bad for that guy if Auburn loses now. To come this close and lose it all... that would suck. I'm sure he felt great about 1.5 hours ago.

He made the best a year ago. I'm sure he has made that $100 back. >_>

It's a straight up bet. He likely gets nothing if they lose, right?

Whoever posted the story may have jinxed him

Yep, I bet he was already on amazon at halftime loading up his checkout list

Yeah, he gets nothing if they lose. But, he made it in Jan 2013. If he had the money to put $100 on a bet and wait a year to win, he has a decent enough job he's already got that $100 back and isn't missing it.

I am sure he isn't nervous. Probably just excited he has a chance to win a fuck ton of money on what is really a joke bet.

Personally, I prefer to bet the over / under on the National Anthem on the Superbowl. But, silly bets are fun.


*Also, I will say I believe it is fake. The article said he talked about hedging his bets and betting on FS just in case, but didn't. How would he know which two teams were going to make the National Championship at the conclusion of last season? Unless it was talking about him betting once the game was decided. Still, worded in a way that makes me think it is fake.

correct, all or nothing. He decided not to hedge his bet, which would've guaranteed a $10k profit.

edit: WOW!

It's 50 grand, who cares if it was a joke bet. That is a big chunk a change

 

[MetalMat]

WOW!

 

[Svnla]

TD. Nice niffy run.

Now Special Team/Defense, you are up.
