Sorry all, meat world is very much in the way for the next month or two (for a very excellent reason, details to come).
I’ll do my best to keep the joint updated.
Any help will be appreciated.
BUZZ…i think i fixed your profile….

NCAA Football week 11 2023 Vet’s Day OPEN

First of all, I hope all of my fellow veteran’s to have a good and enjoyable Veterans / Remembrance Day. I will be spending mine at G’ma and Papap Coldwarrior’s estate in the Northland. There will be plenty of college football, some beverages, and I brought some damn fine cigars to round out the day. The heaters are going strong in the garagemahal and the big screen is ready to go…soon is beer can chicken and some other surprises from the smoker after I go and raid the Amish grocery and the butcher.
SO, we were 2/3 last week! the ‘not win’ was a tie and Two Thumbs Vinnie wins the tie. Not too bad, back to $1300/$1000…outperforming the bond market.
3 Michigan @ 10 Penn State 12:00 PM…The line was 4.5 and then Coach Harbaugh got suspended for some quaint signal stealing that one of his unpaid staffers was up to. Does this rise to the level of Shenanigans? No. This does not rise to the level of the New England Patriots tapping all opposing teams communications and beating the spread at home for over 5 years straight. The line has moved to 4 at Happy Valley. I’ve seen the ‘big game’ there. My ears were ringing for days after. The only other times that I had this happen was at a Michigan game in the Big House and an AC/DC concert where I was a little too close to ground 0. It’s a shockingly LOUD environment. M is ready tho. They play in the BIG HOUSE (which is just as loud). The line has moved to M -4. This is a test for PSU, win this and they are back to elite status, lose, and well…also ran. I’ll take M to cover but will be rooting for the Nittany Lions.
13 Tennessee @ 14 Missouri 3:30 PM…The Vols…The Vols…they break my heart all the time. At the time that I reviewed this game, the Vols were 2 point favorites on the road. The home team usually gets 3, so the Vols aren’t really favored. Both teams are 7-2 and Mizzou is on the rebound. The Vols will break my heart again as I have them covering this spread on the road.
Miami @ 4 Florida State 3:30 PM…FSU is undefeated. These two teams HATE each other and have a very long history. FSU is a 14 point favorite and is at home. I’m gonna take FSU to take The Criminal Element to the woodshed and beat the spread.
9 Ole Miss @ 2 Georgia 7:00 PM…The Runnin Rebels were 10.5 point dogs at the time of game review. A big win today could put Georgia ahead of the #1 Ohio State Buckeyes in the playoff standings…The Bulldogs are #1 in the Coaches Poll and the AP poll. I think that the Bulldogs can cover this spread at home in Athens.
NCAA Football week 10 2023 OPEN

Well, The All Blacks REF let me down last week in the Rugby World Cup, So we are $1200 / $1000
I’m back from the road for a couple of days. My butcher delivered a pork shoulder, two St Louis ribs, and a couple beef ribs from the farm up the road last night.
*I DECLARE MEATFEST!!!*
All are on the smoker. I ace the ribs and shoulder, but jeeze, I just cant seem to get the beef ribs right. I want to make them like the Brazilian joint up the road but just can’t get it. So, try again. Maybe pay closer attention this time!
England is playing the Aussies in ODI right now and I’ll eyeball that after I’m done here.
Let’s get to it
23 Kansas State @ 7 Texas 12:00 PM…The much improved Wildcats have to go to Austin. The line is only 3, which means that Vegas thinks that this would be a tie on neutral site. Nah, The ‘Horns cover.
9 Oklahoma @ 22 Oklahoma State 3:30 PM. It’s BEDLAM!!! This is ALWAYS a great game regardless of records; 100 years of history. Both teams are pretty good this year. The Sooners are 6 point faves and this will be the last time that they play each other in BigXII competition. I hate what is going on with all of these teams jumping to other divisions. The Sooners are 6 point faves on the road. This game is always close, The Sooners don’t cover.
14 LSU @ 8 Alabama 7:45 PM. LSU, like my beloved Panthers and The Vols always break my heart. ‘Bama is only a 3 point fave at home. I can’t go against that. Saban covers.
NCAA Football week 9 and Rugby World Cup 2023 FINAL & OPEN
by coldwarrior ( 171 Comments › )Filed under College Football, Open thread, Rugby at October 27th, 2023 - 10:24 pm
We were even last week, so still $1300/$1000…outperforming the stocks and bonds. Quit level is 33% ROI, we had that three weeks ago.
Let’s get to it.
No one, except yours truly and some maniac former-747 pilot in NZ thought the 2023 RWC would come to this:
South Africa versus New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup final, day 48 of the tourney, all are sore and beat up. Yet, here we are. Both teams peaked at the right time, Ireland fell to their quarterfinal curse while France lost on home soil. The pretenders have been sorted, South Africa v New Zealand for the final, 100 years of playing each other. SA is incredibly physical especially in the ruck, NZ can bite you from a set piece in their own end. Neither team was supposed to be here. NZ is a 2 point favorite. Jeeze, that makes some assumptions, can NZ’s pack withstand the SA force, especially at the end? If Jordie Barrett is not contained, SA loses big. NZ beats this spread.
NCAA Week 9
I’m not seeing anything that I even want to watch.
IT’S AN OPEN!!!!
