One step closer to the inventible. I think there will be more drama about who is going to be the Dem nominee. There may be some drama about Trump’s VP pick, or not…we will see.

Angry Rinos.

I would refer them to the 5 stages of grief from the Kubler-Ross model slo that they can get through the pain and drive on. Desantis will be a fine choice in 2028, and he knows it. He has built a network this round and now can focus on Florida and being one of the best governors in modern history. It took Reagan how many attempts before victory in 1980?

Enjoy this open!

Happy New Years Yinz!

NCAA Football:

We are $1600/$1000 so far! I got all of the division championship games correct a couple weeks ago.

Saturday:

6 Georgia @ 5 Florida State 4:00 PM Capital One Orange Bowl: FSU is a 20 point dog, and they bitched that they didn’t get invited to the playoffs! I’m not touching this game.

MONDAY:

4 Alabama @ 1 Michigan 5:00 PM CFP Semifinal at the Rose Bowl: Coach Harbaugh from M has a TERRIBLE record in games yet M is a 2 point favorite against a peaking Nick Saban Alabama team, M does not cover.

3 Texas @ 2 Washington 8:45 PM CFP Semifinal at the Sugar Bowl: W is from the grossly and perpetually over-rated Pac-12. Texas is a 4 point favorite and covers.
