Maybe it’s a sign folks

How’s everything going over here?

Memphis opened as a 9.5-point underdog to UConn tomorrow at Caesar’s Sportsbook, but as of tonight, has already been bet down to +9.

Penny Hardaway typically really good in these spots as a big dog. One of his biggest tests yet against the back-to-back reigning champs.

I want to like this Arkansas team. So many Memphis connections and legacies. But they have one real shooter and, as has been a Cal theme, a lot of youth. The talent will carry them to a certain extent but it's hard to envision a real run for them in the SEC. My bet is they finish much lower than 4th

Today in the AAC:

UAB loses to Longwood
Tulane loses to New Orleans
FAU loses to Drake
USF loses to MTSU

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

All four teams were favored.

Throw the whole league away man

NBA is a tough product, man. Got good tickets to the Grizz-Nuggets game tonight on Oct. 28. All players on both teams healthy for the most part.

Now, as we ride down to the Forum: No Ja, no Edey, no Jokic, no Aaron Gordon.

😑😑😑

And the NFL officially has a new favorite for MVP. What a damn performance by Josh Allen.

With Stan Drayton’s firing today, that makes three AAC football coaches who have been fired in-season this year.

UAB’s Trent Dilfer *should* be let go after the season. A couple others are on the hot seat.

This is an absolutely pathetic league.

This was one of the many reasons I was so adamant about Memphis leaving for the PAC-12. We know that a Boise State home game is guaranteed 30k. A ranked Wazzu would be another. The upside in the AAC is nonexistent, and it’s only going to get worse.

I'm asking this as someone who somehow winds up with a bet on them every week. Is Georgia good?

It’s official: Army vs. Tulane in the AAC Championship game on Dec. 6.

In the most anticipated season in Memphis football history, the Tigers never even came close to breaking through.

Awkward backdrop as Memphis hosts UAB later tonight.

For my sports betting crowd, Sam Pittman continues to be an absolute dog as a ‘dog. Hogs were never really in this game but gonna cover +13.5. Magical.

That fight was a joke, but the magnetism of Jake Paul is undeniable. We know what it’s gonna be every time, but we come back every time. The young man has a gift.

Disaster for Netflix right now just before #PaulTyson is set to go off. Buffering, pixelated. Complete mess.

Third straight impressive win for Penny Hardaway’s group, third straight dominant second half. Seems like if you’re going to beat the Tigers this year, you better create some real 1H separation.

Memphis -13 against an underwhelming Ohio team tonight. I was low — quite vocally — on the Tigers coming into the year. And also PJ Haggerty. Still good to curb expectations, but the way they’ve pulled together in 2Hs is encouraging for future. Good test tonight w/ this Ohio team picked to win MAC.

Moving forward, planning to post most of my work here. So if you care about Memphis sports, college basketball, sports betting, or random fatherhood musings, hop along for the ride.

Cleansing the palate here. Let’s see what’s up.
