I turned $300 into $780 within two weeks from baseball, NFL preseason, and maybe something else.
The first college weekend came around and I lost everything... A dumb thing.
- Stanford at NW. Of the 5 I bet on last year, I actually got this right by taking NW.
- UNC vs South Carolina, pick UNC +3... Marqise Williams turns the ball over like five times in the red zone as terrible South Carolina wins 17-13.
- Michigan vs Utah, pick Michigan +5 or +4 (can't remember) ... We have been hyping Harbough all off season, he can't lose to Utah. Michigan loses 17-24
- Texas at ND, pick Texas +10. This one I'm most upset with. Didn't think Charlie Strong would get blown out to start the season. ND wins like 38-0.
- Purdue at Marshall. Purdue +7. Surely my Purdue won't lose to Marshall by more than 7. Purdue was winning by 4 with 3 minutes left, gave up two TDs to end the game.
My point: I took f***ing terrible picks in college football to blow away everything earned from baseball and NFL Preseason.
Terrible
