'Kay, here's what I want to say -- you'll sell out your home team to make a buck while professing your heartfelt love and loyalty.
But not enough to keep you from betting against them. Nice.
Ooo. Burn. And I'll take JoePa over Bowden any day. Wins don't equal class and building successful individuals in addition to a valuable program. Joe still believes his players are in school for an education first and foremost.

Holy shit, would you give it a rest? Does the fact that we gamble on college sports, away from Vegas, really irritate you that much? Enough for you to respond to every sentence he wrote in multiple posts?
Also, "Widespread illegal gambling"? He's not associated with the mafia chief. Small time bookie operations are everywhere. They are common place. They are done in colleges. They are done in fraternities. They are done in everyday life. If you don't think more than a majority of people know and don't give a rat's ass about "illegal gambling" then you need a wakeup call. Hell, ESPN practically gives you a blue print every week on how to orchestrate a fantasy football season. You don't think people just play it for sticks of gum and plastic trophies do you? I just watched an entire special on ESPN devoted to picking winners for a College Bowl Pick 'Em.
.........and also, betting on college sports in Vegas will NEVER go away. Ever. The powers that be will never, in their lifetime, see that happen. Too popular, too much money.
Here, let me try: I bet on NFL football, college football, PGA golf, and college basketball on a regular basis. I use a bookie located right here in Austin. If the IRS and FBI come knock on my door because I professed this heinous "crime" on the intertronz....I'll be the first to let you know.
