Thanks for not covering, you fucking Huskies. And I thought about taking Louisville last night, especially since my bookie came over to my girlfriend's house to watch the game. But I didn't. This might not be a very financially responsible weekend.

If you bet on UConn, you will lose.

I made a shitload of money off of them last season, actually. And Dan Orlovsky is a stud. They went into the game with a 3-1 record, against a WVU team that mailed it in against an inferior Maryland team and lost real ugly to Va Tech.

But I should have known any school that barely beats Duke isn't a smart bet.

Jim,

WVU won 31-19 on Wednesday night. That why I said I shoulda known better.

ESPN has been showing a game on Wednesday (usually a good matchup, but not anyone important), Thursday (which is usually a ranked team playing an up-and-comer), and Friday (mid-majors for most part). Sometimes on Tuesday as well (just filling programming) later in the season. I guess it's a little better to have football five nights a week for them than for the gazillionth replay of the World Series of Poker.
