Betting the Big Ten: Championship Week
Hello!
A little unconventional this week: I'm having some trouble uploading to the blog (I keep getting a "Forbidden" message with a 403 error whenever I'm trying to post) and I don't have the time to work around it and Seth doesn't have the time to help me (obviously, busy guy), so instead I'm going to offer you THIS LINK RIGHT HERE that will take you to Google Drive where you can read a PDF of everything I put together. Somehow, I still managed to get to 5,000+ words despite the fact that there's only one game to analyze. I'm afraid I basically just wrote a preview that will pale in comparison to the preview that Brian will inevitably post tomorrow, but I tried to slant it towards having money on the table and what I thought the most likely score outcome was (like, what I do every week, but way more wordy).
Either way, I hope you enjoy!
Also, I'm not sure if I've made it to 200 words yet or not, so here's a list of the things I ate for Thanksgiving last week: salmon, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, Brussels sprouts, corn bake, green beans, rolls, cranberry sauce, gravy, stuffing, and coffee cheesecake. Our cocktail of the week was a spiced pear bourbon thing that was really tasty but pretty sugary and made me gain weight. All in all, it was a nice holiday week with my siblings and fianceé.
Thank you to everyone who's still reading my crap.

For anyone who might wonder, "How can you post this diary but not the other one?" I dunno. Maybe all the words? Or the pictures? Or that I wrote it in Pages and copied it over? I really don't have a clue.

My good friend, koklaw, has a good diary item he’s been trying to post all week and he also keeps getting the forbidden message. He even tried to post it through my account but…FORBIDDEN! Anyone know what this is all about?

Seth told me previously that it might have to do with a Javascript thing, but I have no idea. My guess was that it had to do with these massive images I was posting, so I deleted all those and found smaller images, and that didn't work either, so I figured I'd just do it this way.
If anyone has any tips, though, that'd be great.

hey-I am getting the same error message - even trying to post on the board. Oh, well, misery loves company.
You could cut down the words:
Bet Michigan!

Thanks for the piece, Kyle. I’m not into sports betting, but I am into genealogy. Your Papa Bill sounds like a great person to have known: strong, caring, and generous. Am I reading the lineage correctly? As your mother’s father, he would be your maternal grandfather.

Wow. That was a bonehead move on my part.
