Mission Accomplished......

BYU might not be known as party central but these folks certainly know their way around Vegas. Aside from the first few minutes of the game, the outcome was never in doubt. In fact by halftime the biggest decision I had to make was whether to watch Christmas Vacation for the thousandth time or meet Marxy out for some ridiculous "customer appreciation" party at a random bar. While the choice was an easy one, unfortunately Marxy was held captive by his Government subsidized firm. Ironically a firm who has been the benficiary of such "holiday cheer" feels the need to play Grinch to Marxy. This guy has logged more hours than an indonesian in a sweatshop this past year and I am concerned it will start to negatively impact his social skills. In any event this money is burning a hole in my pocket so I think its time to get out and start spreading some holiday cheer. Stay tuned for more winners I am starting to get that feeling that usually accompanies an epic run.
Happy Birthday to former NFL and College football coach Bobby Ross. Coach Ross will forever be known as a no nonsense guy who was able to win on both the college and pro levels. However, that means absolutely nothing compared to the impact his teams had on my bank roll over the years. As a young high schooler(jv handicapper if you will), Coach Ross' 1990 Yellow Jacket team ran the table and in the process covered almost every game that year. Thats right I had tech moneyline at UVA the year Herman Moore was dominating the ACC. Then in 1994 when the Chargers made their "improbable" Super Bowl run guess who rode the Natrone Means express to paydirt? With comeback wins over both the Dolphins and Steelers in the AFC playoffs, it was a gravy train with biscuit wheels.
