Lines for Week 14...the end of the NCAA Season

One more time...

Alright, on to the lines for this week: we have 1 THUR NCAA and 1 THUR NFL game and a couple of FRI NCAA games.

I know the list is short, but find 10 NCAA and 5 NFL for this week.

Standings through 13 Weeks

Only 5 weeks left - 1 full 15 pick slate and then 4 weeks of picking 10 NFL games per week.

TOTAL

MR	112	83	57.4%
MH	111	84	56.9%
RO	106	89	54.4%
GR	104	91	53.3%
JR	102	93	52.3%
JG	102	93	52.3%
MC	100	95	51.3%
SS	100	95	51.3%
AW	95	100	48.7%

A slim 1 game lead for MR at this point. MH hasn't had a losing week since early OCT. Still, with 55 games left for each of us, I think anything is possible. A 40-15 run might win the whole thing for anyone who can make it happen.

NFL

MR	39	21	65.0%
JR	35	25	58.3%
MH	35	25	58.3%
JG	34	26	56.7%
MC	33	27	55.0%
GR	33	27	55.0%
AW	33	27	55.0%
SS	32	28	53.3%
RO	32	28	53.3%

65% is ridiculous. MR would be up near the top of the Hilton Supercontest with that kind of record. Maybe next year you should enter Mike? Only $1500.

NCAA

MH	76	59	56.3%
RO	74	61	54.8%
MR	73	62	54.1%
GR	71	64	52.6%
JG	68	67	50.4%
SS	68	67	50.4%
MC	67	68	49.6%
JR	67	68	49.6%
AW	62	73	45.9%

MH is hitting over 56% on NCAA this year - very impressive.

Final regular season NCAA lines and all NFL lines will be coming soon.

Gophers coaching search continues to be a rumorville circus...Fedora is still in the mix, but the hot name from last night was Dan Mullen. I read a guy who was at the hoops game and overheard a lot of the boosters talking about Mullen and being giddy that it could happen as early as today or tomorrow. This would be a Grand Slam HR of a hire if it happens...either way, this thing needs to end fairly soon so I can work again!

New Coach?

Larry Fedora? From So.Miss currently (we can't get enough of Hattiesburg!!) and rumor has it he will be with Joel at the hoops game tonight. Sounds like he met with his AD this morning and is on his way here now...

Once again, this could be another crazy Twitter rumor...but feels valid. He hasn't been mentioned a lot, but he's an offensive guru who coached at FLA, OKST as OC and has set records at So. Miss for offense. He's a great recruiter as a head coach at a non-BCS school he has pulled in some star talent. He has ties in Texas where he was a HS head coach for a while and he has ties to the south where he has coached throughout his college career. He runs a spread offense type of scheme, which might be great for our guy MarQueis, and he's only 48.

First impression, not a homerun by any means, but a guy who can coach and seems to be in high demand. Rumored to have turned down OC jobs at some very big-time programs before taking on the SOMISS job 3 years ago. Has won at SOMISS, 3 straight bowl games, good recruiter, lots of ties to good programs/coaches and good recruiting areas. This might be a nice fit...

Not saying he's THE guy, but looks like he might have his foot in the door and be the leader in the clubhouse at this point.

Stay Tuned.

Weekend Update

First....

Greatest Gopher game fo the Brewster era....and it's not even the Brewster era anymore!!


Now, the weekend standings:

JR: 7-8
JG: working on this, had issues with picks this week
MR: 7-8
AW: 10-5 - CHAMPION OF THE WEEEEEEEK!!
GR: 8-7
MH: 9-6
MC: 7-8
SS: 8-7
RO: 8-6 +SF

Not any big changes - MH gained 2 games on ROE and we're down to only 1 week of NCAA to go but remember the challenge will continue through the end of the NFL season so we will have a bonus month of 10 NFL games each week...that's where you can make up some ground.

Full standings update coming tomorrow...until then...

I see picks from a lot of u, but still missing some. Please send them
over as soon as u can to make sure u get in for the week. If u don't
submit picks, I think we'll just give u the worst record for the week
minus 1 win.

Week 13 Lines

* A few games with no lines yet due to injury questions - you can still bet these if you really like one side or the other and I will fill in the correct opening line once it is known.

Send me your 15 games as soon as you can. I'm guessing most of you have WED/THUR/FRI plans, so the earlier you can get them in the better - I don't want to have anyone miss a week and take themselves out of the running.
