Quote of the day
"Let me tell you something: My man [Tim Tebow] is really good in this offense. You know what I mean? If we were trying to run a regular offense, he'd be screwed." -- Denver head coach John Fox Daily blurb
I’ve gotta confess, with no daily NBA action and only sporadic football activity, I’m not quite sure what my blurb strategy should be for the next few months. For now, I’ve decided that I’ll post a blurb if I have something to say, but I’m not going to force it.
The various daily contest sites are also struggling with the lack of daily NBA activity. Both FanDuel and Daily Joust have begun offering college basketball contests. For example, at Daily Joust, the scoring formula is simply “1 point=1 point”.
Here is the slate of games in today’s contest at Daily Joust:
Maine vs Connecticut
Fairfield vs Minnesota
Alcorn State vs West Virginia
Wichita State vs Colorado
North Florida vs Florida
Northern Illinois vs Iowa
Niagara vs Missouri
Georgia Tech vs St. Joseph's
Western Illinois vs Michigan
Southern Miss vs Denver
Lipscomb vs Illinois
Arizona vs St. John's
Eastern Washington vs Oregon
USC vs San Diego State
How can you not get excited about that?
Serious, I’m not poking fun at the concept – and perhaps the contests will be more interesting when the matchups become less arcane. But I’m having difficulty promoting a contest format the features Lipscomb University as a suitable substitute for NBA contests.
