I won a bet with STEVEHOLT that SU would win 7 regular season ACC games. We made the bet right before the ACC season started. He said we’d go winless, I said we’d go 7-13. Faith!***













**** please note the faith I had was not that this really bad team was any good, just that this league, this year, is absolutely awful.

My eyes basically rolled out of my head everytime someone here suggested we'd go winless in conference. The ACC is sooooo damn bad, that was never, ever, ever going to happen.

Seeing as we didn't beat a single team with a winning record in conference, 7-13 seems a remarkably appropriate record for our level of suck this season.

Not complete and total suck. More like general and frequent suck.
 
don't be too harsh. is it a remote possibility ? kinda . likely ? hella no. but how many people play lotto or mega millions every week with the same odds. it is fun however to believe for a brief moment while you hold that ticket that perhaps your ship's come in. and that feeling lasts til the drawing. and then you're out 100 clams.

To be fair the bet over under was 6.5 wins. Not like I bet that they’d go winless
 
I seriously just placed a $100 bet at Caesars on them to win the national championship at +500000, so I'll make half a million if they do.

I've got a good feeling, boys!
might as well get rich

Money won is sweeter than money earned! Best of luck.

Sadly the prior 10 ACC seasons we averaged 9.5 Ws and 9.1 Ls so we weren't that far below avg this year.


Edit

Which makes the last 11 years in ACC play 102 Ws and 104 Ls. So we would need to go 12-8 next season just to get back over .500 for the last 12 seasons.

Geez, that is just pathetic.

Playing mega millions, also like lighting your money on fire.

Look at it as an entertainment expense, like renting a movie. Do you get anything tangible in exchange for your money? No. Valuable knowledge or life experience? Usually, no. Entertained for a couple hours? Yup.

How does a mega millions ticket keep you entertained for a couple hours?

You get to spend the time between buying the ticket and the numbers being drawn fantasizing about what you’ll do with all that dough. Like watching a movie and fantasizing about being a Jedi or whatever.

I’m not saying it’s the most entertaining thing but people have spent more to be entertained less.

You can do that without buying the ticket, tbh. Same odds of winning
