With the winner possibly being the G5 representative in the playoffs, is tonights Boise State vs UNLV game the biggest G5 game ever?

 

[marksboy7]

@Enki_Amenra I thought Louisville and USC were on the no bet list?

PS: I have them also tonight with Boise

Not Louisville, just USC, . I must be ready to get hurt again.

I want to bet the over in the Boise/UNLV game so bad, but as soon as I do, I'm sure the game ends 17-14 or something like that.

 

[SagginVawls]

I haven't laid down the bet yet. I wanted to look a bit closer at UCF, but I remember them sucking pretty bad earlier in the season. Did they get a QB back or something?

Nah. They just straight up benched KJ. New guy isn't as good of a passer, but an exponentially better runner. Pretty much just min/max what you're good at.

I couldn't bring myself to bet the over. It's at 63.5pts.

You can get USC ML + Louisville ML + BSU -3.5 for +205

Three women pass away and go to Heaven.

When they arrive St.Peter says" there's only one rule, if you step on a duck you will be matched with the ugliest man ever".

Well 3 days go by a one of the woman step on a duck and just as .St. Peter stated she was matched with one of the ugliest men ever.

Well another week goes by and another one of the ladies steps on a duck and just as before ,she was matched with one of the ugliest men ever.

So a month goes by and St. Peter brings the lady who hadn't stepped on a duck and matches her with the most gorgeous man.

After a couple of hours the Lady ask the man " how were we so lucky to be matched together"?
The man politely says" Well I don't know about you but I stepped on a duck".

Gonna disagree with you old heads. Jamal clearly had more talent. What would he do if not for his injuries?

I mean I get it, I've watched Webb's games and he was great, but Jamal was a complete freak of nature. Not a lot of people can sat they were more talented than him.

Wrong...the ONLY talent Lewis had the edge over Webb in is straight line speed, and Chuck was fast. Webb was just as strong, and was really fast, and he had far better hips and balance.

Lewis either outran or ran over people...he was not very shifty and didn't make a ton of people miss, while Webb could do those things AND cut on a f'n dime and make people look just as stupid as Alvin despite being much bigger.

I love em both, but Webb is the greatest RB is Tennessee history...he was the complete package.

Bears released Velus Jones. Never escaped the bench after that fumbled kickoff in the first game.

Hope the Titans pick him up. Don’t they only have like 4 guys available? Lol

Maybe Jerry Jones can afford Velus.

I saw both of them play a lot of football games. Lewis was a really good football player from Tucker Georgia. I lived in Tucker for years and saw him -lay in high school. He was the best RB in Georgia and we were able to get him to Tennessee where he was an all star. With that said, I saw Webb and , before his injury, he was the best running back I have ever seen in person. I did not see O J play in person. Webb may have become as good as Simpson ,but he never regained his former self after the injury. I strongly believe Webb is the best I have ever seen.

100% agree..I am convinced he was going to win the Heisman that year. His injury against FREAKING PACIFIC is the most senseless heartbreaking loss of a player in Tennessee history imo.

Extreme knee injuries like his were career devastating back in 1990...he was done after that.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Me too, unreal talent

The younger guys that didn't see it with their own eyes just will never understand.

294 and 250...as a freshman, pretty much all that needs to be said.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Ridiculous how often he fumbles in the league. Hope he can get it together and carve out a career not scarred by fumbles.

Leaving work and realizing we don’t play tomorrow…

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

OMG they hold sooooo much..how do our opponents almost never get called for it?

 

[volsagain]

I mean at this point do we think Vitello may end up being Saban of baseball before he retires? Best to ever do it?

Don't lump our guy in with one of the greatest cheaters please. Sorry but bama been buying players without impunity for more than 20 years. Vitello is a baseball genius and a players coach.

Idk McGill, Lewis was pretty shifty, especially considering his size. He was good catching the ball too. He could do anything you asked him to.
I'm not saying he's better than Webb, but a valid argument could bet made for either.

For comparison:

They’re favored and at home so I couldn’t figure that one out.

That's what I went with

Sometimes, I think you never have watched a game in your life. You must have been pulling double shifts at Wal-Mart during the Lewis years

After watching the highlights above, they are at least equal, but Lewis looks better, imo.

It's weird. I'll probably make the bet. No big deal, I'll just be betting $5.
