Opening Consensus Line
Aggies -1.5
Total is 158.5

After the loss Saturday, this is a game that the Aggies have to win to get to the 11 conference wins. It wouldn't surprise me to see this line move to at least a pick'em. We need to protect the home court. It was a great atmosphere on Saturday, so I hope the students show up and bring the heat again on Tuesday.

Just Win!

New theory, our players just hate February. Now that the calendar flipped we're gonna roll again.

UK by 8+ unfortunately. We're cooked.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

Is there fun in being miserable? Or is it like a managing expectations thing?

It's learned behavior from years of feedback for me. I'm not miserable though. I'll prob try to go to the game and root for the Ags after spending $34 on two beers.

Bob, it's actually LESS miserable rooting for and enjoying Ag wins, while turning a profit in the losses. History shows it's pretty easy in all sport. It is what it is.

Typically when you see a line that doesn't make a ton of sense, there's a reason. Vegas loves to bait folks. You see us struggling and UK playing well and we're favored. They're begging you to take UK.

Line is now Ags -2.5 and we're receiving 78% of the money. They know something...

The only thing anybody knows is that by the predictive metrics we should be a slightly bigger favorite than 1.5.

Enjoy the game Method, and your beers. Hopefully better days ahead for the Aggies.

this is called paying the victory tax, how much are you willing to spend to get us into the tourney

Trying to stay optimistic, but the team hasn't shown much in the last month to indicate that we can rally for this win. I don't see the reasoning for Vegas to give UK +money given that most of our starters have been invisible for weeks, occasionally against lesser competition.

I'll either happily pay the victory tax or console myself by taking the wife out to a nice dinner.

The real question is if there is fun in being wrong a large percentage of the time.

I think a lot of these guys do this so they can say "see I told you so" when they are right. They also like an emotional hedge.

ETA. I also think they like to feel miserable.

It's a pu**y move. Either, "see I told you so" or "man, I am so glad to eat crow". No. You're a ***** and a bad fan.

Im that person.
With the exception of my posting history, I don't come back and say I told you so. Plus, crow doesn't bother me.

P.S. I'm also miserable

A 2.5 point spread on a 11pt finish is "knowing"?
