Yeah, they installed a spread option for the game and forced all of the upperclassmen on defense to transfer or quit football altogether. They're clapping before the snap...I thought I'd suppressed those memories.

I can tell we're PUMPED for bowl season now since we have an open thread well before this killer tilt begins. LOL, I love it. I'll be killing the final hours of the workday tracking this game.
I took ECU +8 as well as a prop on their QB Dominque Davis Over 3.5 TD passes/INTs
EDIT: Changed the post. I actually got ECU at +8. Either way, not looking good right now

ECU has a worse defense than ours (worst in the nation in fact), and Maryland's O is pretty good. Throw in the fact that Maryland's LB corps is great, and I like Maryland comfortably.
Maryland -7 and Maryland total points over 39

The INT on the first play not such a good sign either.
EDIT: ECU gives it right back on a failed 4th and 1 run.
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap.

Impressive throw from the MD

Impressive throw from the MD QB, got hit in the face right as he threw. Receiver just outruns the safety/cb to the endzone.
ECU blocks the PAT.
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap.

Well, I need Davis to throw 4 picks/TDs combined to win a prop bet
There's 1, midway through the first.

Why does Northrop Grumman sponsor this game? Have they lowered their prices on Apache Helicopters?
