Since days of underoos. Congratulations to our resident mid major college roundball maven, Big Guy. Last night's inuagural Propick Sports Services release featured the Tarheels of North Carolina over Evansville. In typical Big Guy fashion, the game was over by halftime and he was able to get a little "honeymoon hump" in before focusing on tonight's lines. After logging in a congratulatory phone call following this blowout release, I was told: "Propick I appreciate the thanks but remember, lets act like we've done this before". Well said.
Admittedly tonight's college hoops card is lackluster at best. After perusing through a few lines, Big Guy texted me back "tonights action is weak, I will gear up for my weekly Friday Night MAAC lock of the week". However, within five minutes a follow up text appeared "Butler +1.5 at Xavier". Despite all attempts to adhere to his strict discipline, Big Guy went crackhead on us and decided to shower the loyal Propick fanbase with some Thursday night love. Remember, this is the same guy who has nailed the Iona College vs. Siena game ten straight times(including games played despite blizzard conditions outside the arenas). According to BG's proprietary model, Butler is a 5.5 favorite but with Xavier's decided home court edge this brings the line down to 2.5. With the current line at Butler +1.5 points, this represents deep value. Tonight' release....Butler +1.5 over Xavier.
Last Night's dramatic win by the Knicks over the Raptors was significant on a number of levels. However, the real highlight of the night was getting to sit courtside with local favorite/cultural icon, Marxy. With a group full of stiff's looking to "be seen" sitting nearby, Marxy decided to take his game up a few notches by ordering beers aggressively. Following Felton's game wnning three point shot, Marxy ordered up the White limo and took us downtown. While this is par for the course on any given Wednesday night, it was more impressive considering that Marxy has a charity-reunion event tonight, followed by a date Friday, then an out of town wedding this weekend. When asked "what part of the wedding are you looking most forward to?" Marxy replied "the three hour downtime between the ceremony and the reception. Sitting around in a tux for three hours in an unfamilar city can only mean one thing: cougars and booze. What am I supposed to do, go back and take a nap in my hotel room?". Absolutely not my friend. We at Propick are expecting great things out of you this weekend. However, please no repeat performances of Florida 2005 when you almost landed on the wedding cake during the best man's speech.
