Switters Takes It Hard


TODAY AN ATTACK FROM SWITTERS:

switters: cool man
you are a classy dude
still taking that michigan loss to heart

nastyb: what?


switters: it's cool man
i knew you weren't always a real michigan fan at heart


nastyb: what are you talking about?

After which, stony cold silence.


Hmmmm. How is one to interpret this? Did I just shit on Switter's dream? Did I kick his dog or sleep with his girlfriend? I can't be sure, but I think this is related to a chat we had yesterday before what would become Ohio State's second, high-profile manhandling by Florida in a major college sport championship game. Witness:


switters: what's your take on the game


nastyb: chomp chomp


switters: i see
i would pretend to not be a big ten fan too if i were you


nastyb: well
when you've got $2500 riding on the outcome


switters: you do?
that's awesome for you


nastyb: if florida wins


switters: nice


nastyb: 23% of the kolkata pot


switters: you can take out the 50 you owe me for osu/um and you'll be up 2450


nastyb: haha
the check is in the mail


switters: ok good
i'll look for it when i get home


nastyb: what's your address again?


switters: who knows


nastyb: i'm serious
i'm sending you a check


switters: dude if you send me a mail bomb i'm going to be pissed


nastyb: not a bomb
but maybe some anthrax or ricin powder


switters: did you split florida with a bunch of people or what


nastyb: two other guys
so i get 1/3 of $2500
still a nice chunk of change


switters: cool


nastyb: assuming they win
if they don't we get about $400 each


switters: well it's pretty much already over
if you know anything about sports, you know that the favorites always win


nastyb: true
i've been following 'sports' for a while and that's always been the case


switters: i'm glad it was for the bcs championship


nastyb: ok


switters: i'm just saying


nastyb: there is the poetic justice argument here


switters: i love it
i love watching their press conference yesterday
they were acting like the game was already played



nastyb:
arrogant bastards
i have no love for florida
but i do want to get paid


switters: they are very proud of their back to back championships


nastyb: well, my support is nothing personal


switters: this is how bookie make millions
days like today
and days like january 8


nastyb: yep
what's the line?


switters: 4.5


nastyb: word
over/under?


switters: 140 i think


nastyb: that's respectable


switters: well florida's going to score 120


so osu will at least score 20

The guy's got a chip on his shoulder about being #2 and takes it out on me for my coincidental support of the new evil empire in college athletics? I'm just an opportunist, please don't say I'm not a Big 10 fan. That hurts. Besides, it's not like I could have supported Michigan in the NCAA Tournament anytime in the last 6 seasons. Give me some credit for still getting up in the morning.
