People who bet on football? And what? Still a Division 1 Conference? Do you guys only care about politics? Please, college football and a good bookie are to autumn what a yellow leaf is to a tree. I never learned probability and quadratic equations as well in college until I started figuring out the over and under. Personally, we'd be a tad better off teaching algebra like that. And, I ended last season with a push. Only me and my guys know that one.
