A winning New Year's Day; Closing things down
Jan 2, 2008, 12:54pm | Posted by Steve
Not a bad New Year's Day of betting for me at all. Had I stayed away from the Hawaii/Georgia Sugar Bowl entirely it would have been even better, but who could predict that Colt Brennan would suffer a complete meltdown?
01/01 College Results
Capital One Bowl: Michigan (+10.5) vs. Florida - Win
Cotton Bowl: Missouri (-3 2H) vs. Arkansas - Win
Cotton Bowl: Missouri (-3) vs. Arkansas - Win
Gator Bowl: Texas Tech (-6) vs. Virginia - Loss
Gator Bowl: Texas Tech vs. Virginia (Over 14 4Q) - Win
Outback Bowl: Tennessee (-2) vs. Wisconsin - Win
Rose Bowl: Illinois (+6.5 4Q) vs. USC - Loss
Rose Bowl: Illinois vs. USC (-7 2H) - Win
Rose Bowl: Illinois vs. USC (Over 48.5) - Win
Sugar Bowl: Hawaii (Davone Bess Over 8.5 receptions) vs. Georgia - Loss
Sugar Bowl: Hawaii (Ryan Grice-Mullen Over 8.5 receptions) vs. Georgia - Loss
(For final scores, see the season record page.)
I've got a lot riding on tonight's Feista Bowl, and I feel pretty good about that. I think the Sooners will shut down a leaderless West Virginia team and win convincingly. I know that Bob Stoops badly wants to erase memories of last year's Fiest Bowl.
ACTION: 01/02
Fiesta Bowl: Parlay: West Virginia vs. Oklahoma (-7 & Under 63)
Fiesta Bowl: West Virginia vs. Oklahoma (-7)
Fiesta Bowl: West Virginia vs. Oklahoma (Under 63)
Shutting things down
I don't think I'll be making any more posts, by the way. I plan to keep listing my active bets, but the task of keeping posts updated as become more of a hassle than an enjoyment, so it's time for me to move on. As of now I don't have plans to bring this blog back next fall. We'll see what comes next for Redneck High.

The bowls begin
Dec 20, 2007, 5:59pm | Posted by Steve
With bowl season beginning and an NFL game going on, there are some lines available tonight that look OK. Not great, just OK. Nothing to make me want to place a full-unit bet on them, even, so I'm going to get just a small taste of action with three half-unit ...

Winter storms and football
Dec 16, 2007, 11:12am | Posted by Steve
Here are the bets I have working so far today. I'm still looking at a couple of possibilities for the afternoon and evening games, and I'll add those if and when I make them.
There's lots of bad weather in the Northeast that could make for some very sloppy football. I'm ...

More small-college football
Dec 15, 2007, 11:35am | Posted by Steve
The Division I-AA championship worked out nicely for me last night, going 2-0-1 (and would have been 3-0 had the Delaware kicked not shanked an easy field goal in the first quarter). The Division III game would probably be a lot of fun to watch if it could be found ...
