It was on this date back in 1964 that Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali) stunned the boxing world when he knocked out Sonny Liston to take the heavyweight crown. That fight has had a cloud over it ever since. It is widely believed that Liston took a dive, I personally believe that as well. Liston was a mountain of a man and Clay never hit him with a shot capable of putting him down. Nothing against Clay, he went on to become arguable the greatest. But no way did he legitimately knock Liston out in the particular fight. Just my opinion.
Okay, a free selection. Tonight I am suggesting a play on Dana Altman's Oregon Ducks against Cal. We cashed on them the other night against Utah when they got the outright in Eugene. I believe as of now the Ducks are in the Big Dance and this win will further their case. I also believe they will be a very dangerous team come tourney time. They seem to be peaking at the right time.
On the business side we have cashed on 12 of the last 14 college hoops releases. Last night we hit on the Triple Star with West Virginia taking down Texas and clearing the number. Tonight I have a Double Star Rabid Dog featured release. Those who have been around the forum the last several years know the solid success these plays have had. I am not going to tout it, the numbers speak for themselves. One thing I have noticed of late around the forum is the amount of newbies trying to stir up crap. I guess they have this place mistaken for all the other sports forums where guys routinely behave like total creeps toward one another. Every site will always have that certain element around. It is just annoying when you spend 8 years of your life with a forum and build some solid relationships only to see some peon come in and make accusations and treat others in the community rudely. Pregame is not like every other site. If you want to act and behave like total creeps take it somewhere else. Just being candid. I am only saying what I know several others are thinking. I tend to speak my mind.
I need to add this final note. I have been advised by the home office my 7 & 30 day packages will be discounted by 20% the next few days as part of the slash promotion.
Okay, much to do. Back to work.
