I rarely ventured into college basketball wagering but the Herd laying 17.5 to MTSU

seems like too many to my untrained eyes. I have liked our team all year but COVID has really taken it's toll on us ,IMHO. Too may stoppages of play and practice to get any chemistry, don't know about the Blue Raiders but Vegas must feel like they're terrible to be getting that much help but who knows if the game will even be played!

Ott would kick your a$$, SlowHead. His father, whom I know, would, too. Now, give Tony some gambling advice, as the only basketball program that you know more about, or obsess over more, than Marshall is Ohio State.

Driving in the sports reporter said that they (the Raiders) were in the same shape, Covid-19-wise as Marshall.

You must be visually impaired, as a certain make-believe AAU coach has posted for over a year now that WVU "took Ohio State's souls" in December 2019, even though Ohio State finished last season higher rated and ranked than the Old Fold & Blew, and are higher rated and ranked than the MountainGoats this season, too. It's the Morganhole way: Spew propagnada repeatedly until you convince yourself that what you're saying/posting is true, even when nobody else believes your fairy tales. Everything in "Touchdown City"...cough, cough...Iowa State...is a mirage, including MBAs given to daughters of politicians.

Well, basketball in general looks like chaos to me but OSU has won a lot of games against tough competition. I don't think WVU is a bad team, in fact a good team but very dependent on how closely a game is called by the refs. If the Mounties and hack ,claw and grab they are a handful for anybody to beat! That's my take but I confess I do not hold an MBA from WVU!

Somebody else w/ 5

I think that I saw what you posted above in a Fox Sports tweet, so I think that you're correct, Westsider. Don't tell SlowHead this, but I'm still not buying that Ohio State is a Top 10 team, talent-wise, anyway. The absence of anybody taller than 6'8" in the regular rotation is going to bite the Buckeyes in the rear-end in the NCAA Tournament, and might result in an early exit from the "Big Dance."

I will once again extend my offer for you to send to me how ever many dollars you're going to bet on sports to me, and at the end of the season I will send half of it back to you and keep half for myself. That's a much more generous offer than what you are going to get from a betting site. They would laugh their *** off if you tried to get half of your money back from them.

I would love to know ( speaking of betting) how much money one of those online betting sites made on the max $50 double your money bet that KC would score a touchdown in the Super bowl.

I wouldn't bet on the Herd EVER.

I haven't seen them play since they played WVU in the round of 32, whenever that was. I'm assuming they play the same style of offense, which I used to call run & gun playground ball. When you play that style, it's all predicated on how well you shoot the rock, and since they play so fast, a 20 point lead can evaporate in 3-4 minutes of game clock.

In summary, they may win by 25 tonight, lose by 12, or be a tight one to the very end. Hard to bet money on this type of basketball. Might as well bet a friend on a coin flip.

Weird game tonight, but typical herd game. Down 14 to 0 at the start, and won by 28, 107 to 79.

You wouldn't know "the truth," if it fell out of your dentures and dropped on to your bib, SlowHead. You're easily the most delusional of all members of WVU's fan base, so be proud!

That's a fair analysis, against the competition we play we 're never out of a game but no lead is safe with us either. However we prefer to call it " Hillbilly ball" as opposed to playground ball. Hahahaha

Yes they would which is why I don't delve into college hoops...too tough!
