Seriously....I had not watched a minute of the Directional Kentucky vs. Directional Michigan game, but saw the score at 49-14. With only the O/U (65) in doubt, I followed the game briefly on ESPN.com until Directional Michigan scored. I updated the spreadsheet and set off to shower and get ready to head to my in-laws. Some time later, I flipped on the TV while waiting for the family to be ready and thought, "Hmm...I wonder if the game is still on. I'd be curious to see how the stadium in the Bahamas looked."
I landed on ESPN with :01 to go in the game.
I saw the final play(s).
I heard Bill C. scream, from Columbia, in my house in St. Charles.
I then went upstairs and reversed all the work I had done.
Fresno and Rice was a laugher, but unfortunately on the wrong side of the result for us. That one stung a bit, knocking the contest back to 52.5% on the year. There are some BIG majority picks coming up, but Fresno had been the biggest to date.
