College Bowl Mania Winner: Double D
January 12th, 2010 by nwsportsguyWith Ohio State beating Oregon last week, it means that Husky fans can still make fun of Duck fans for not having won a Rose Bowl in over 100 years. It also means that the 360 Sports Blog College Bowl Mania challenge has come to an end.
My best buddy and faithful reader Double D of Port Orchard wound up winning the contest. This comes as no surprise, because he wins almost every pseudo gambling contest/sports bet that he and I are involved in. Though the contest was technically a tie (My other bud Big Red had the same amount of points, but lost the tie breaker), the Deezy always seems get the roll.
Example: Last year, we had a substantial bet on our fantasy football matchup. I was up by 17 points going into Monday Night Football; he only had Steve Smith (Panthers version) to play. I always hate holding a beatable lead going into MNF, as I have to wait on pins and needles to see if I get fleeced by the opponent. It makes the games more interesting, but much less enjoyable. Anyway, Smith only had 2 points going into halftime, yet lit up his oppoent for 2 TDs and over 100 yards in the second half. Despite being favored, I lost because the Dallas Cowboys’ secondary refused to play defense.
Double D always wins. Never bet against him. I’m amazed he hasn’t quit his job at the Shipyard and become a professional gambler. Kudos to DD, I owe you a beer.
