Your boys have gotten red-hot. The entire gang is feasting as each and every sharp is in the positive. Undoubtedly, this delusion will go straight to our heads. Unless…

So, I was scrolling through Tik-Tok the other day and came across this one guy who was talking about some movie that apparently was Quentin Taratino’s go-to recommendation. It’s this 1997 documentary about one of those contests at a car dealership where all the contestants have to keep their hands on a truck and the last one to take their hands off wins the truck. The whole thing takes place in rural Texas and basically follows these people as they keep their hands on this truck for dozens and dozens of hours (with short breaks on the hour). I won’t spoil anything, but it turns out the movie was pretty awesome. For whatever reason, you can stream the thing for free on MailChimp.com (yes, the marketing platform that does newsletters) so I’ll also throw the link below. Check it out if you’re looking for something different. It’s only 98 minutes long.
This has nothing to do with the game against Creighton, but maybe you were looking for a movie recommendation. In basketball news, the #ChuChu train will beat the Blue Jays twice. Please see the image below for reference.

Watching the Villanova game was one of the most fun games of the season, primarily for one reason: hope. Hope is a dangerous drug, and I actually thought the Hoyas had a chance to win. Every Jahvon Blair three had me on my feet screaming. Nonetheless, as we know, great teams cover even despite a loss. Unfortunately, I will be straying from that notion tonight. I found an interesting stat this morning: Home underdogs givingen at least 6 points are 64-120-6 ATS, good for 34.6%. I’m going to have to play the numbers game today and take those odds. In all honestly I hope my bet is shattered by a Georgetown W, but we’ll let the probability gods decide that. Do not think I have lost all hope, however. Like I said, hope is not something to be taken lightly, and I am now addicted. We can hang with anyone, and I think this game is close up until Creighton pulls away at the end. If that is the case, at least I’ll have the vindication of a close first half. I anticipate some spread drama as Vegas has removed a lot of our wiggle room, but may the gambling gods be on our side tonight.

I’m keeping it short today. I’m not mad that Georgetown didn’t win on Sunday. In fact, I’m happy that they covered and I was positive (remember good teams win, but great teams cover), but I am disappointed that I was dethroned by a bunch of hooligans. Mere uncultured heathens knocked me off of my pedestal, and now I return to being a common man. I call this mutiny. Either way, I have two things to share with you. First, John still sucks whether he is positive or not. And second, Patrick Ewing owns ranked Creighton teams. So how is Creighton going to stop the big man tandem of Timothy Igoefe and Qudus Wahab with a little side of Chudier Bile? News flash, they aren’t. Give me the Hoyas. Give me the points. Give me the money.
FYI if you’re wondering about the bet sizes, I refuse to be negative…

Your Hoyas showed some real fight this past weekend, eventually succumbing to that thing we call talent against Villanova. They played hard, showed effort, but in the end, seriously struggled securing defensive rebounds and staying put on defense. Taking a page out of Armen’s book, I’m not confident either way about the spread, and I absolutely positively REFUSE to be back in the red, so give me a small portion of a unit on the Hoyas moneyline. I leave you with a Georgetown-themed album cover. Hoya damn Saxa.
