UA1987 Posted September 9, 2016 Report Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) This one will be closer that a lot of people think. Bowden would be well advised to be amiable with the officials from pregame on and plant the seed to 'keep it fair' 'watch their holding' etc...every time he gets near one of them (channel Hank Stram). Too much of a conflict having Big Ten officials handling the calls for a MAC team at these big money Big Ten venues. Wisconsin 2003 and Michigan 2013 were ours, but were stolen away with bad calls.

This article makes the MAC home field advantage sound pretty fearsome: Quote The MAC as a conference averages 15,333 fans between 13 schools using aggregate attendance, which makes it the worst conference in all of FBS football. Heck, Wisconsin has a bigger student section that that. In any case, Sagarin usually pegs home field as worth three points. You can check my math, but I think that means that the average winning margin for the Big Ten would only be 15.5 points instead of 18.5. Edited September 9, 2016 by Los Venerables Quote

Final score of that 2003 game was 48-31. That wasn't the refs fault. Good to see you have the "blame the refs" card ready go though. The way some of these Zips fans are describing the team, I just hope the poor Badgers still have a team to field going forward. Edited September 9, 2016 by Bucky Quote

zipsoutsider Posted September 9, 2016 Report Posted September 9, 2016 Bookmaker roundtable: College football line moves, sharp bets Quote 3. Which game(s) have had the biggest wiseguy action? Simbal: Kansas and Akron. Andrews: Illinois has had the most wiseguy action. Bogdanovich: A lot of wiseguy plays so far on Western Kentucky against Alabama. Fifty-two percent of the total dollars bet on that game are on Alabama, which to us is a sharp play on Western Kentucky. Some more games that are leaning sharp: Ball State vs. Indiana, as 91 percent of the total dollars are on Ball State. There's been a big move on Akron as well, with 91 percent of the total dollars wagered on that game are on the Zips against Wisconsin. Quote
zipsoutsider Posted September 9, 2016 Report Posted September 9, 2016 The PD has a piece on the game. Quote

We scored and it should have been 38 to 34 with 4:00 to go and your 99 yard TD after the bullshit call would never have happened. Be an adult and own up to it. Your Big Ten officials won that game that day not Wisconsin. Your probably weren't even born then so what am I talking to you for ya sausage stuffer. Quote
zipsoutsider Posted September 9, 2016 Report Posted September 9, 2016 This guy reminds me of the woman from VMI who sat in the Zips fan section last week. Quote

LOL, I know you probably won't believe me, but my season tickets used to be in section Q, 20th row, looking straight down the North goal line. I was at that game. Hendry wasn't close to breaking the plane. You should have kicked the FG. You had all the momentum and wasted it on a dumb 4th down play. And it was closer to 7 minutes left. Quote

Do you work at a call center? 4 minutes and 30 seconds. I suppose next you are going to try and sell some bogus insurance or some junk. Edited September 9, 2016 by UA1987 Quote

This says Evans scored with 6:36 left (this was the next play following the failed 4th down try). The GoZips website says the same. What is your source for 4:30? I'm all ears. Quote
Buckzip Posted September 9, 2016 Report Posted September 9, 2016 The thing about trolls is that if their team wins they will come back to rub it in. When their team loses, they are never heard from again. I remember UW fans talking smack a couple of years ago and 59-0 later none of them returned...LMAO. Quote

roopride Posted September 9, 2016 Report Posted September 9, 2016 You continue to confirm you never get reliable answers from a call center. Low skill, trained to regeritate info from the hand book. Usually over and over. Quote

WD UA 2015 Posted September 9, 2016 Report Posted September 9, 2016 Just did a test run of 'Bout 10 network live stream. Found it is of poor quality compared to streaming ESPN and SEC network (to be expected). BTN network website is not intuitive when searching for the live feed either. Always thought BTN was vanilla like the football it covers. Quote
