Based on the toilet paper in my trees, eggs dripping off my windows and plastic forks in my yard I'm guessing the betting public was less then thrilled with the gambling advice laid forward here on the web site thus far. 
Current Standings:
THE Don Trotter: 1-3
bohogan consultant staff: 1-2

But like Dickie V. said in his emotion stirring speech, "don't give up...don't ever give up!" (Ed. Note: Tom Hammer was caught weeping in front of his pc, dozens of times during Jimmie V. week as he replayed the ESPY speech)

Don Trotter will be back with some super stone cold pipe hitting locks that are guaranteed to pay for your Xmas and then some.  There are some serious leans right now in the direction of "the U", Arkansas, UCLA and some hard hitting over/under calls.  Stay tuned.

The staff (Hammer and Rothstein Jr.) would like to bring forward a Xmas eve special tonight just for those dedicated readers who have taken the time on Xmas eve to actually read this site.  I think there were 100 hits yesterday in looking at the stats so I appreciate those of you who are accidentally navigating to our cite while you were really trying to access your bodog.com account.

Christmas Eve Special:
Nevada-13 over SMU- The Mustangs are in a bowl game for the first time it seems since Eric Dickerson and his rec spec goggles donned a red and blue uniform.  Their defense is as soft as a hershey kiss in the summer and even though Nevada will be missing 2,000 yards worth of rushing in the form of injuries, I literally think they could plug in a polio stricken sailor and rush for 200.  This game may set the record for points in the game.  The over/under is currently set at 72 and is tempting to take the over.  Nevada's defensive backs remind me of five #22 McDonalds from the Cleveland Browns.

On a side note, have you ever seen a player that is so bad, #22 McDonald, that you have to wonder whether the player has some serious black mail information on a coach hence the extended amounts of PT that player is getting.  I think Brandon #22 McDonald has some photo's of Eric Mangini that would make Oscar Delahoya's lingirie escapades look like Good House Keeping fodder. 

At any rate, take the Wolfpack and lay the points.  I don't care if June Jones makes his return to Hawaii, was that guy ever a good coach anyway? 

Here's the rub, the scoop the shizzle. 

In an effort to give our readers a chance to get a jump start on recouping that money you just spent on the sham-wow or snuggie for your loved one, we want to post Don Trotter's exclusive college bowl picks. 


For grins and giggles, Sam Rothstein and myself will provide our own personal picks, if anything to show you how professional Mr. Trotter actually is vs. the two of us who are really semi-professionals more adept at performing bookie services vs. actually capping games ourselves.

We will keep a running record of The Don's picks as always.  It takes a great deal of testicular fortitude to make your plays public but the Don just has that kind of make up.  He is a pit bull, dirt eating, muscular, snake biting, bear kicking, cage fighter who also happens to be smart, handsome, and magical.  (Ed. Note: Whoa, WTF?)

Here's the picks:

The DON!!


Fresno - 11 vs. Wyoming  O/U 55

I know Fresno St has a pretty good running back, but other than that?  Wyoming did get whipped by BYU, Texas and TCU, but Fresno is not in their category.  As for the teams Wyoming has beaten, well to be blunt about it, they have all been fucking terrible.   Fresno started out 1-3, but played Cincy, Boise and Wisconsin.  I know just looking at schedules can be pretty deceiving,  but it seems Fresno is the better team.  I know 11 is a lot of points, but Fresno played Wisconsin and Illinois down to the wire.  Those two games stick out at me because I would assume Wyoming just don’t have the athletes the Badgers and Zookers have.  I will lay the points, and take Fresno -11.  With that said, I like the over/under as a much better bet.  Both defenses are ranked at the bottom in scoring defense, giving up 30 points a game.  Fresno is ranked a top the NCAA in scoring offense, 14th, scoring 34.3.  I think it could be a relatively high scoring game and will take the over 55. Mark it:  Fresno -11 & O55


Hammer and Rothstein Jr!!

This just in, Fresno is really only a stones throw from Vegas.  We looked it up on Google Maps and you can literally get their by car, bus or public transit (Greyhound).  After arguing about whether Greyhound is public transit or mass transit, and then agreeing that "who gives a rats a$$", we settled in on the fact that its doubtful that the best athletes in Wyoming play football.  They ride bulls and hog tie steers.  That said, we like Fresno to laso these Cowboys.  Mark it:  Fresno -11.

THE DON!!!!


Central Florida +2.5 vs. Rutgers O/U 44.5

I know a bit more about both these teams than Fresno/Wyoming. (Ed Note: It's a proven fact that the more you drink the more you know!) I watched both of these teams play a couple times this season.  Central Florida was able to beat Houston and their passing attack, and although the score isn’t indicative of the actual game, they actually played “The U” pretty tough as well.  Rutgers played some pretty good teams solid this year, however, I am not sold on their Freshman quarterback.  In the games I watched, when he played against good defenses, he struggled.  Central Florida’s defense is very good, ranked 4th in the Nation against the run.  I think Central Florida will stack the box and make Savage beat them and I don’t think he will.  I like the dog and will take Central Florida +2.5. Mark it:  Central Florida +2.5


Hammer and Rothstein Jr!!

Interesting that C. Floriday played the "U" tough.  On a side note that ESPN 30/30 episode on the "U" made me want to set up a smoke machine in my basement for when I play EA Sports College Football 2004.  On to the game at hand, I also learned this week that Michael Jordan's son Marcus plays for the Central Florida basketball team.  The similarities stop at the name on the jersey b/c Marcus wears rec specs and hiked up socks with knee pads. He looks like a dorky Buck Ewing. But seriously, in consideration of this football game, Rutgers is in New Jersey right?  Isn't Atlantic city in Jersey?  We love the boardwalk so we love Rutgers to cover.Mark It: Rutgers -2.5


THE DON!!!!


Southern Miss -3.5 vs. Middle Tenn. St. O/U 58.5

You can literally flip a coin on this game.  Both teams averages, offensively and defensively, are just about the same, as are their ranks in the nation in those categories.  This game will probably go down to the wire, maybe who has the ball last.  The over/under seems high, considering both defenses seem to be a bit better than the offenses.  With that said, I haven’t seen either team play and wouldn’t bet either the spread or the over/under with Tiger Wood money that he spends on hookers.  But if I HAVE to make a selection, I would take the under 58.5.  If I had to pick the winner, I would take Southern Miss -3.5, Mark it:  Under 58.5


Hammer and Rothstein Jr

Man, is Middle Tenn St. in a bowl game?  We're talking about Middle Tenn St. in a bowl game?  In a BOWL game!!!  Look, we could be sitting here talking about any ol' game but we're talking about a BOWL game.  Not Tennesse, Not Kentucky, Not Tennesee St. but Middle Tenn State.  In a BOWL game.  I'm a franchise player and we're in here talking about this team in a bowl game?  Middle Tenn St?  If Don Trotter says their in a bowl game, then their in a bowl game that's it!  But we're in here talking about Middle Tn  Mark it:  Southern Miss -3.5

Tom Hammer here, and like Herb Dean in the UFC, I'm here to step in between the boiling feud that has enveloped Leroys Lounge during the college football gambling season and bring some clarity and fairness of measure to this flaming situation between Don Trotter and Chazz Speedman.  Because as all my friends know, I'm firm but I'm fair!!!

First and foremost, bohogan lifestyle consultants, are always here to help our knowledge thirsty readers and with heavy degenerate gambling being a cornerstone to every bohogan lifestyle, we hope that the open dialog between Mr. Trotter and Chazz Speedman has served beneficial in helping you cap your college football score card. 

If you lost tons of money on any of the picks that failed to hit, my advise to you is move far away from whatever bookie you owe or if you bet online I'd advise beginning the process to change your identify.  Both are completely legitimate ways to handle your $$ problems.  More than likely, the astute readers of this blog are probably up thousands of dollars and have plans in the work to host a Monte Carlo night in their basement.

Now, as it involves our two controversial cappers, I feel 100% obligated to provide complete transparency to how the football season ended.  In all fairness to Mr. Trotter, on the date of November 11 on a Friday afternoon he did send an email containing several picks that he requested me to post on bohogan.com.  At that time he felt that, Chazz Speedman's fast and furious and often times morally sick views of the college football season had run their course and it was time for a professional to step in.  I received this email and did not take action.  Bohogan lifestyle consultant sr. vice president and manager of gambling operations, Sam Rothstein Jr., received these picks as well.  Myself and Sam had a mix up, I was extremely busy that weekend probably entertaining guests, or on a trip out of town or on house arrest, but never the less, I was busy.  To be truthful, I can't remember what I did yesterday none the less on November 11, 2009. 

At any rate, the point of this is to bring full awareness to our online community that Mr. Trotter did submit the following email.

"Also, for kicks and giggles, I ran a 10 game $10 parlay.  I added that parlay at the end.  I don’t have a lock this week, because I don’t feel really, really good about any one game this week.  With that said, I do “like” the games in my parlay.
$10 Parlay pays out $8,266.08

Indy -1.5

Eagles -3

Houston -23.5

USF – 11.5

UNC +3.5

Arkansas -11.5

Penn St. -3

Texas Tech/OU over 53

Florida/Florida Int. Over 54

Army +2:"

As fate would have it, the Don of all Don's, Trotter hit all 10 of these games and pocketed a cool 9k.  When we learned of his success, bohogan consultants first action was to obviously congratulate Mr. Trotter and then immediately ask for a loan.

I know the natural response of the readership will be that of outrage as in theory, we all missed the chance to hit a ten team parlay.  And to that all I can say is, "I bet I can throw this football over that mountain!!!!"

Prior to the email on November 11 regarding the picks, Don also submitted an opinion based post around his love/contempt for gambling.  One can only assume that after hitting that 10 teamer, gambling is definitely back in love status with Don Trotter.

As for Chazz, I'm sure we haven't heard the last from him.  I'm too lazy to go back and add up his total record for him and that creepie smoke and drink loving baby but I'm sure it was impressive.  Even more importantly, that guy sure brings a strong opinion to balance out that of the Don and the fireworks and verbal sparring are worth the price of admission.

The last reason I share with you this totally unsubstantiated, outside of Sam Rothstein Jr. and myself, success story is to stir up the optimism that bohogan followers need to have as the college football bowl season approaches.  When general people refer to the holiday season they most probably are referencing the fact that Xmas approaches followed by the unbridled enthusiasm for the new year.  bohogan lifestyle consultants call it the holidays because its college football bowl season and its time to get paid.

That said, be on the look out for Don Trotters college bowl picks.

Happy Holidays (a.k.a Hit a big ass parlay!!!)
