Just a last couple notes from our trip to Cincy. 
 

1. Cincy hates Pitt(sburgh). They had a lot of stuff on their video screen that were not so subtle digs at Pitt. I think a lot of the hates also comes from the Bengals v Steelers. I didn’t mind.

2. Their stadium is not so bad. It’s very quaint and shoehorned into the campus. 
 

3. The team hotel was across the Ohio in Kentucky. I had an awesome room with a great view. I even slept with the sliding door to my balcony open all night. It was pleasant. The Marriott was also close to Hofbrauhaus, the first outside Munich. I went there after checking in and waiting for the team to arrive. Three litres were really nice.

 

4. A couple of pictures. The Bengals stadium was lit up really cool. Town looked nice too, although I did not see Bailey, Jennifer, Les, or any of the others from WKRP.

Running clock in the 4th?

Just cut off 6 minutes.

South Alabama crushed Northwestern State 87-10 on Thursday night, with USA setting a school scoring record. The onslaught was so bad that the coaches of both teams agreed to shorten the fourth quarter by six minutes, resulting in only 54 minutes of play.

This ended up being key for the sports betting results. College football sportsbook house rules usually require 55 minutes of play for most action to be considered valid, though there is leeway for interpretation.

DraftKings' house rules state, "There must be 5 minutes or less of scheduled game time left for bets to have action unless the specific market outcome is already unconditionally determined." The last part is crucial, as over and under bets on the total (in this case set at 59.5, per ESPN BET odds) can be deemed "unconditional" -- in other words, they would have hit regardless of anything that could have happened in the final minutes of the game.

As a result, DraftKings graded overs and unders as winners and losers, respectively. BetMGM confirmed that it settled total bets in the same manner. Caesars, ESPN BET and FanDuel did not immediately respond to inquiries for this story.

For the point spread (set at South Alabama -36.5), DraftKings graded all bets as void in accordance with its rules. However, the book said it is awarding cash payouts Friday for any wagers on USA's full-game and second-half spreads as if they were winners. First-half and third-quarter wagers stand as is.

BetMGM voided all full-game wagers on Northwestern State, in accordance with house rules, but graded South Alabama bets as winners, calling the final score an "official result" as "declared by the official governing body," per the book's house rules.

Southern Alabama with 87 points. I don't think I have ever seen a modern team score 87 points in college. That's absurd. That's what I wish we would do to OU, Arky, and aggy. Georgia would be nice, but that ain't happening. 

I was on-again/off-again with this chick who went to SMU the year after I graduated and went with her to see Cougar High play them in the Dome the game they scored 95 and had over 1K yards of offense. It was like watching a JV team play 8th-graders….

Holy shit! At that point they should have just limited the quarters to 5 mins, that's just beyond embarrassing. How can you recover for the season after getting skull dragged like? Damn, son!

We are about to kickoff to start game with WVU

Would offer to buy you a beer if I were in town for this one. Frigin dead today and all I've had to do is hit the gym and catch games, but such is the life of an applications analyst on your on-call weekend. If you ever make it down to Winston for a Wake game, or even Raleigh or Chapel Hill hit me up.
