Go look up something called GamePlan magazine and when they began publishing. I was using GamePlan's power ratings when I was 13 and kept notebooks comparing their ratings, which had to be adjusted every week by me for all teams, to the UPI selections, the AP selections, a local sportswriter's selections, and my selections. I advertised in GamePlan when I was 21 years old, a full-page ad which I designed and laid out, no less. I still have one of those notebooks from when I was 13.

I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT GAMEPLAN POWER RATINGS OR ANY OTHER POWER RATINGS EXCEPT THOSE POWER RATINGS GENERATED BY THE COMPUTER GROUP AND USED BY BILLY WALTERS. YOU KNOW, WHERE TEAM A HAS A POWER RATING OF 7 AND TEAM B HAS A POWER RATING OF 4, SO BILLY HAS 3 STAR BET ON TEAM A.

DON'T YOU HAVE ANY READING COMPREHENSION? YOU READ THE FUCKING BOOK. YOU MET UP WITH YOUR PROFESSOR FRIENDS AT THE JOHNSON CITY GAY MEN'S BOOK CLUB TO DISCUSS IT. I DON'T THINK YOU FUCKERS LEARNED A DAMNED THING FROM THE BOOK.

WALTERS USED A COMPUTER TO MAKE HIS PICKS SINCE 1982. WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE WITH COMPUTER HANDICAPPING? I SUSPECT IT'S ZILCH. NADA. NOTHING.

WALTERS OUTCLASSED YOU. HE'S IN THE SPORTS GAMBLING HALL OF FAME. HOW ABOUT YOU? YOU TALK LIKE YOU THINK YOU'RE THE BEST THERE IS. A WHOLE LOT OF SPORTS BETTORS DO IT BETTER THAN YOU. BE A MAN AND ADMIT IT.

I think I probably have a few decades on you regarding the use and keeping of "power ratings." So I have no idea what you are blathering on about. I was criticized when I was 20 for relying too much on math and "power ratings." Now I'm criticized for relying too little on math and "power ratings." LOL. I'm doing the same stuff.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THE COMPUTER GROUP'S POWER RATINGS.

Do you know how idiotic it is, utilizing pure computer ratings, to try to lump a sport like college football, with disparate scheduling, weather, and a 12-game schedule, in with a sport like college basketball, with a huge interconnected scheduling matrix, no weather but different visual environments, and a 35-game "season?"

DO YOU KNOW HOW IDIOTIC IT IS TO IGNORE WALTERS' SUCCESS WITH HIS COMPUTER GROUP POWER RATINGS?

You are out of your depth when you address these things. I am being kind.

INSULTS WON'T HELP AS YOU DEFLECT FROM YOUR INCOMPETENCE.

You do realize the "computer-derived" phrase you use means absolutely nothing. Go ahead, explain how "computer-derived" means something. Is it different from "hand-held calculator derived?" or "abacus-derived?" Or "Sheldon Cooper at a chalkboard-derived?" Do you mean "partially derived," "minimally derived," "completely derived" or what? Learn some precision, for God's sake.

IRRELEVANT, STRAWMAN BULLSHIT.

Wake up, man. You must realize you have no blessed idea what you're really talking about.

SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE FAILURE. STINGS LIKE A BITCH, DON'T IT? YOUR MORONIC SPIEL DON'T FOOL ANYONE AROUND HERE, SPORTSQUACK.
