It's very difficult to stay on point this weekend. The focus of this space is college football. The focus of the world this weekend is Miami, and the Super Bowl. That said, here are a few brief points before I go to work on a half dozen or so prop bets to make Sunday's game more enjoyable.
Last week's Senior Bowl was far more entertaining than last week's Pro Bowl. To be honest, I watched the entire Senior Bowl, albeit via the DVR, and I only watched a few minutes of the Pro Bowl. A few minutes was more than enough.
The Senior Bowl story was "how will Tim Tebow perform"? TT's performance wasn't very thrilling. He started with some poorly thrown short passes. That was followed by some not so great medium length throws. Overall, TT looked overmatched. Tebow exited to make room for the other South team QB's, making a short appearance toward the end of the game.
Tebow's performance looked worse because his opposite from the North Squad was Cincinatti's Tony Pike, who is definetly a thrower, tall and lanky. TT looked dumpy in comparison. QB du Jour honors go Central Michigan's Chuck LeFevour. He was composed, threw well, ran for a couple of nice gains, looked like the whole package. I predict that by the end of their play for pay days, LeFevour accomplishes more than Tebow.
Time to sign off and start timing the National Anthem. That's the opening bet; we won with an under play last year (and yes, I'm serious).
Next week, we'll look at some of the recruiting classes that were assembled this past Wednesday. Today's parting gift to you is this link to Dr. Saturday's compilation (click) of unusually named up and coming student/athletes. Ciao.
